@KawaSeadrake It's easier to make terrible coffee at scale than good coffee at scale, and Starbucks customers typically mostly want a milkshake, whatever caffeine they can get, or both
@Nostromo I haven't experimented with many things yet...
PSA on the Equifax breach:
You can enter most anything into their "check if I've been breached" thing and it will say you've been breached.
The whole site they set up is just a scam to force people into signing up for their "identity protection service." You get a year free but you better believe they'll start charging you for it after that, and the opt-out process is never easy.
Don't buy into it. Just keep an eye on your credit report and credit/bank account statements.
@RealPoptartBear "masculine nonbinary"?
@KawaSeadrake @mawr Having found the thread, I have decided I should just get over it. :| It shows me who I can reasonably expect to get in an argument with as a result, I guess, and... I care about that but it's not anybody who would want me to spend time hating myself for my own gender identity, either
substance use
It's hard to hit a target of "enough THC to reduce depressive symptoms for 2 days", but "little enough to avoid increasing tolerance to THC and also anandamide, thereby worsening depression"
I undershot it badly last night and now I don't know whether to have worse depressive symptoms tomorrow and stay on schedule, or use more, now.
I got my tolerance back down in 1 month of "not quite enough" alternate day concentrate use, after 7 months to raise it, so maybe I should worry less.
@mawr @KawaSeadrake I remember it coming from someone else, but it's could have been following up on the SpottyJaguar version, which I remember seeing on FA now that it's mentioned. I hate making specific accusations about things that happened years ago, though, I don't trust my memory enough and I don't think there's much benefit in disparaging people for something they said years ago anyway. Then again, it hasn't stopped affecting me and I'm still avoiding them, so I dunno
@KawaSeadrake @mawr I don't, sorry. It's from at least five years ago (I remember where I was when I read it, and it was my precious employer) and there's no practical way to dig through Twitter that far back across a year-wide time range.
sexuality
@KawaSeadrake @mawr I am distrustful of the acceptability of my hermaphroditic gender identity itself, a Twitter essay by a respected member of the community pointing it out as an innately derogatory term that fetishizes intersex bodies and innately problematic as an identity for that reason got a lot of support from people I respect and don't want to make uncomfortable. I've described myself as "genderqueer/genderfluid" since, but it's vague; I still think of myself as hermaphroditic.
slurs (lgbt-related), sexuality
I'm not comfortable with my own sexual orientation. I put myself forward as pansexual, but that's more aspirational than accurate.
More than half the time, I am specifically interested in cock, and I am almost exclusively interested in gender nonconformant people. (Awkward phrasing courtesy of that one cis guy whose performance of gender is beautifully alien. Yes, you know who you are 💜)
I'm still worried that I'm some kind of "tranny chaser".
@green I last went to Orlando some 15 years ago, visiting Disney, and my favorite thing about the entire trip, and what I remember second-most vividly, was the tiny lizards. :D
I dreamed about DJ Tiësto sleeping on my couch for a night, in which we brainstormed the plot outline for an electronic opera about the ongoing rivalry between Weather-Man and The Weatherman.
Weather-Man is a superhero who controls the weather, locally and briefly. The Weatherman is a supervillain who is a maliciously inaccurate professional meteorologist.
I don't remember the details. This is probably for the better.
@Jacel I can now measure/estimate time until next arrival instead.
Welp, at least when I write timestamps in my notebooks now (as I do on every new subtopic), I am not immediately calculating time until @Jacel departs and flinching and getting sad about it 😐
