I'm unconscionably angry right now, because I was so hung up on whether or not I'd be able to interface with the old legacy system that I never stopped to ask whether the new system would be feeding me the data I needed to make the old system do stuff. And it _can_, but it presently... isn't.

... and today we've discovered that the input field on which I've been relying to link data between two systems is, in fact, not shared between those systems. It _can_ be, but there's no mandate that it must, so our hit rate is low teens. Because everything is a manual process and nobody has a consistent data model and my project relies on interoperability between those systems.

@angrboda As long as it's not because of weed, sure. *grins*

@irisjaycomics @fluffy@queer.party Twenty-somethings who'll do your shopping, cook you a meal, listen to you complain about the Kids Today with mumbled apologetics and sympathies about how hard it is to remember which button on the remote erases your prom dancing video and which one just tells the microwave to reheat your coffee, help you sort your mail, carry out the trash like their own spawn never would, wash up, and lock the door when they leave. Indefinite childhood and boomer care as day labor.

@irisjaycomics @emanate Same, though. It's been a learned skill for me not to do it, and it's _hard_.

Smutty RP through LinkedIn messages is the new sex on the boardroom table.

@tastymochafox Some kind of weird primate-derivative custom species, they look like? Are humans the new sergal? "Original character donut steal!"

@tastymochafox Halcyon's a place. Specifically, a reframing of Neptune (psychic seapunk aesthetic) through a bunch of communal development. We're a strange and creative bunch, we are. =n.n=

@tastymochafox Oh Great Work that's a familiar feeling. My pre-transition self eventually became a character as part of my personal path. Sympathies. Hopefully the drop into new self and new headspace is more comforting and comfortable than the old.

@tastymochafox Have you been introduced to Halcyon yet? We have many glowy otters to share! Other good, glow good. =n.n=

@tastymochafox Inspired: the subtle bondage of very pretty but delicate outfits and freshly-painted claws.

tired but valid: pair mani/pedis
the new hotness: painting your subs nails with slow-drying polish so she can't touch anything without smearing it

@skolli@mastodon.social Autechre is simultaneously amazing and incredibly _itchy_. Like, I love listening to them in some states of mind, and a few of their tracks are great regardless, but there's so much of their creative output that I have a hard time even classifying as _music_. It's _good_, but it blows my mind.

@Fuego I got the same impression when I went to Ft. Lauderdale. South Florida is just... one giant Miami Vice episode.

@indi What I really want, and may one day design if never implement, is a three-tier system of posting, tagging posts, and concurring/disagreeing with the tags others have left. And then filtering systems set up over who has permission to leave what tags, or respond to what tags. It all looks very complicated and makes parts of my systems-driven head very happy, all while terrifying Elbey staring at this nightmare of data tracking and weeping into his paws.
