@Jacel I also have trouble remembering that “Liz” and “Liza” are not generally short for “Lizard”. I work with someone named Liz so this is kind of awkward

no, brain, generally speaking the name “Dan” is not short for “Danjamin”

I now have a Pandánte set and nobody immediately available who is interested in Pandánte other than me. >.-.> Not for the first time, I am contemplating the disadvantages of living in Redmond rather than Seattle

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's

This sounds like a joke but I swear it isn’t. Last night, I dreamed of desperate Girl Scouts swarming infrequently-used intersections in golf carts, aggressively blocking in cars stopping at stop signs to demand the purchase of cookies before they will free the unfortunate motorist, because who wants to run over a Girl Scout, seriously

This may be inspired by the three distinct Girl Scout stands by the three exits to my local grocery store, getting increasingly adamant

how much tea can I drink in a day before it qualifies as a substance abuse problem

One of those days where I slept on a couch for the last fifteen minutes of the work day because I felt too tired and drowsy to bike safely. It helped

If you liked the old Livejournal concept, but hate what the Russian owners have done with the place, I recommend trying out Dreamwidth.

It's based on a fork of the original LJ code, but continually developed since then for a much better experience. The people who run the place care about community and they're definitely LGBT+ friendly.

@Gargron i usually take maybe 6 minutes for matchmaking at this time of night, but my MMR is uncalibrated but probably Herald (lul) based on Old System MMR, so maybe it’s a larger pool

Hahahaahahaha holy shit. Hiveway is a fork of Mastodon with blockchain slapped on top, selling ICO tokens, and John McAfee is involved. Wew lad

@frameacloud Given its intelligence and its tentacles of data buses sprawling across the machine, the CPU is now an octopus. I suppose the GPU is, by analogy, a squid

Attn. British people (hi @Jacel): is there a “hot and spicy” version of HP Brown Sauce?

I used to have a long attention span, then Twitter happened

mh, gender, sexuality, negative 

@KawaSeadrake yeah. I don’t have strong gender presentation preferences other than “avoid extreme displays of either traditional binary performance” but I have an identifiable genital configuration preference. Not one totally exclusive of alternatives but the preference is there.

It’s a socially awkward and politically inconvenient preference to have, but it’s there and it’s up to me to decide how to deal with it.

mh, gender, sexuality, negative 

Sometimes I wish my gender identity was “male” so I could just be a mainstream gay man and not get so stressed about whether my distinctly-non-genital-agnostic sexual preferences are okay

substance use 

@KawaSeadrake My cannabis use rate was pretty low, partially because if I used it two days in a row I felt terrible on the third day and then my tolerance was weird and the experience just wasn’t right for a while after. It did help keep my overall tolerance down, but I never developed a resistance to asthma issues or nasal congestion from it, either. Although I’m having nasal congestion again after most of a week without.

substance use 

@JulieSqveakaroo I go through some $6 of tea a week, but a $40 cartridge would last an estimated nine months. In practice I got curious and wanted to try something new before that so handed the cartridge off...
