One of the things we can do as humans is re-develop standardized, replacable, rechargable power cells for our devices.
We rely on the batteries in our devices outlasting the Product Cycle, true. That won't be a forever kinda thing, and in a post industrial crisis sorta world, we're gonna want electronic devices that take modular components. If you can't just go and buy a new cell phone, you have to repair your own from Parts.
And they're all hyper proprietary.
Gender/sexuality stuff, plural
So, it's one thing to have plural personalities and mental states.
It's another when they have different Genders and desired presentations.
It then gets fun when their sexualities and desires don't line up quite right with the previous two.
For example, Kerithe is a Woman, always has been, and she learned how to Front early last year and she has Zero physical dysphoria. Her sexuality isn't really along Gender lines, more just if you like what she's about or not.
Tohri's Male, he's had to be my own idea of me for a decade or so, and he's... Intersex? It's hard to describe, other than when I'm Him, I get horny in parts I don't have, and usually for other folks who are in between, trans or intersex.
She's a Dominant Bottom, He's a Submissive Top.
It's just weird being Contradictory like this.
Anyone else have a situation like this? I know I've got some plurals following me.
Game idea: Lovecraft-esque/dark magic/cult busting game but all the cultists/leaders are upper-upper class elites turning to dark magic to satiate their inhuman lust for power and influence. They get turned into monsters you get to kill and all of their character stories are comically evil and on the nose so I can watch dumb centrist nerds fall over themselves defending fictional rich demon worshiping racists
I stay somewhat inactive in the communities I'm in, because it's way too easy for me to get in way over my head with obligations.
So I'll be the one who shows up at random to events with enough food to turn the bbq into a Feast, run logistics, cook, and otherwise let the Hosts enjoy the show for a bit.
I keep full size candy bars in my bag at cons just to hand out to exhausted and hungry fursuiters.
In a war of ideas, and changing people's minds, we've seen what an Evil Empire looks like, and we've seen what Corporate Mind Control is like.
Meanwhile, furry has to be one of the best psyop campaigns ever. Come for the naked animal girls and ad-free custom porn, stay because all your friends are transgirls now, and you just realized you're a democratic socialist.
Real hard life lessons
So, I see a lotta people idealizing the lifestyle of 'life in a cabin out in the woods'.
It meant you were always at risk of burning your place to the ground with the Wood Stove.
It meant Chopping, carrying, storing, and seasoning tons of hardwood. And I mean literal Tons.
It means you might not be able to make the walk to a real civilized Bathroom because a flock of wild turkeys is blocking the path in a menacing fashion.
It means mice, birds, bats, rats and Bugs finding their way into everything you own.
It meant that in heavy windstorms, you were always wondering if Tonight was gonna be The Night one of those pines comes down on my home?
It meant that any lovemaking caused architectural flexure, and structural oscillation.
I got good at cooking a Hot Pocket on a firebrick inside the mouth of the woodstove.
I was So good at using a gasoline powered coleman camp stove for four years that I never burned the place down with That.
Some kids turned to drugs to insulate them from their toxic parents and traumatic experiences. I turned to Carpentry.

Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
