@Lunostophiles@snouts.online @sutter@snouts.online So... You're saying nobody on the Eurovision board ever read the DaVinci code?

@vantablack Hey kids! This is what a False Flag Operation looks like!

@Lunostophiles@snouts.online @sutter@snouts.online If they really wanted to get, uh, Creative, they could go into Dan Brown levels of symbology, with something like: "The unity of the upright triangle and the inverse triangle in the six pointed star represents the unity of the masculine and the feminine"

My first day at the new job.

I'm used to snapping my fingers and wiping out whole tribes of monsters, I tried it today and...

@hazzardwolf@snouts.online *Hugs* Well, I mean... I'm not just in-between, I can jump into either role hardcore without any real discomfort.

It's being Required to be a specific thing for a specific purpose that tends to chafe.

@Draekos XD Yeah sorry, I've had to get used to it.

@Draekos Because it's an Activity rather than a passive emotion.

@MapleDeer I'm always a lady argonian

@MapleDeer Just don't get too absorbed if a task takes too long.

There's pitfalls to that way of thinking too.

*Grins* Funny being a dual core dragon, there's a balance to be reached between optimization of labor and optimization of Lifestyle.

@MapleDeer Not Deadlines.

Par Times. Set yourself a specific window within which to complete the task in your day, based on previous historical data.

It's a challenge, but you'll get better at estimates as you go.

We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No-one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads
We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together
Like two passing ships

@MapleDeer Assign tasks and times for completion. Assign yourself a Win condition, and hold to it.

Set your own standards, meet them, and feel good about your accomplishments. Write down your goals for the day and meet them.

Your life can be rendered into a linear path. This can help with feeling like you're accomplishing goals and filling bars. It's a conceit, but it's Your conceit.

@plausocks Kerithe: Look, you don't have to exist as the girl who looks in the mirror and sees a hot boy she would wanna date, but it's Her.

Fucking frustrating when you can see that but your headmate who actually identifies as a 'He' has chronic low self esteem.

We've had to settle on 'Yes, nominally male, but there's a Surprise.' same way our wife is 'Girl, Yes, but made from Truck parts'

@MapleDeer I've seen lazy.

And you know, laziness is actually something that can drive people to Greatness.

Executive Dysfunction is the other thing, wrapped all the way round: You Want to do All the things, but you're just a fragile meat shell with a powerful ghost at the controls.

And the 'Win' condition isn't fully defined.

if you're autistic, Check out Rush's "Emotion Detector".

And if you feel like that resonates, check out the rest of the catalog. When you're the Weird Rock group, you can get away with putting Real stuff in your songs.

*For a change, escapes to the realm of emotion and feeling because the logical world is a minefield, but in like, a Good way*

@MapleDeer Yes but that goes down based on range and amount of fuel you have to carry to carry that fuel. That's why long nonstop flights burn a ton of J2.

Pick up a copy of Kerbal if you wanna know exactly how much you Don't Yet Know.

@MapleDeer *Grins wickedly* Troy Ounces

@plausocks That's low self-esteem.
