@mawr I want to fully affirm that your feelings are valid. Whatever you feel, you feel. More than anything, I want to make sure you feel like you're being heard and respected.

At the same time, I admit I'm struggling because I don't see the same pattern you do, or I'm not seeing it as a pattern in the same way. I think I see what you're describing, but to me it's the rare exception, not the rule.

@mawr Again, I can only speak to my lived experience, but so far as I know, that sequence has been the vast minority of social interactions. It's happened maybe half a dozen times in the twenty or so years I've really been out and active, compared against the hundreds of snuggles that ended with nothing more and no expectations of further. To call it a script, to me, vastly overplays its commonness and inevitability.

@Momentrabbit That is aggressively bullshit, bunny, and you have my deepest condolences. Smash capitalism. *offers pettin's*

@mawr So, to be sure: I've been part of that sequence of events, and I'm not going to sit here and claim I haven't. I question whether it's common enough to justify being a "script" and on what scale and scope it has to happen for it to it to become such. I'm assuming you mean "over the course of a night in a social space not originally explicitly earmarked as sex-inclusive."

@mawr I can only speak to my own lived experience, as always, but I can't attest to the existence of that script, and I think that's a lot of what's throwing me about this discussion. I hear you, I value you, and I affirm that you and likely others feel this way, but that script doesn't seem to match my perceptions or my history, and I don't really know what to say beyond that without risking negating your own perceptions.

Finally, she has walked away from Omelas.

I hope she knows where she's going.

I just found this guy, and jeepers.

PEDAL STEEL GUITAR AMBIENT.

@adeptomega Let me know of you need anything, hon. I drove today so I can hit the store on the way home.

@Oneironott IT'S BEEN?

@Mycroft ... the install, upgrade, or uninstall? There's different categories.

@Fuego @adeptomega Contains spoilers, obviously. And CW for Bad Shit.

16.04 LTS Ubuntu has a bug in its VPN software that's solved in 17.10, but there's no LTS release scheduled until 18.04 which is too long to be without working VPN software. So I'm having to abandon the LTS platform for my development even though my job is focused on system and service stability and customer experience because I have to chase a bug patch rather than expect people to backport system-breaking bugfixes to their supposed long-term support platform.

"Fun."

TFW the statistics you send your boss about the impact your tool will have gets forwarded to the VP who says "please don't turn it on because your stats are beautiful and terrifying and I'm afraid you may be right about what needs to be done."

@DiaryOfIceTea So go take a nap, zen.

@demonkind Nowhere yet and Great Work I hope not. My parents are fourth-generation American Mutts who didn't seem to care who their ancestors were and are estranged from their respective families, and I'm estranged from both of them. I'd love to be able to blog about my cooking -- it's a skill I've actively been developing for years -- but once something is online, all hopes of managing context is lost.
