psyching myself up to just cross the point where it’s more awkward to stop
this feels related to my executive function trick of “go do it for 5 minutes and then you can stop if you want” (i rarely stop after 5 min)
so i might try this. ty <3
- Comment on Lesbian sheep 1 day ago:
this is why dating has become orders of magnitude more difficult for me after i quit drinking. my entire strategy was drinking enough to drown out “what if she thinks I’m being creepy, what if she’s mean, what if i say something stupid and get ostracized” until i could finally hear a tiny, slurred voice saying “lol wouldn’t it be funny if you talked to that girl you think is pretty and it turns out she can tolerate your presence” enough to go talk to the girl
but now i am 31 and my cells have decided making enough alcohol dehydrogenase is too much of a hassle and i have decided being hungover is too much of a hassle, so now i just drink soda in the lesbian bar trying to look available but not pathetic (it’s not working)

they also don’t know how to use the robot lawnmower and robot vacuum cleaner
not even because “hurr hurr boomers don’t know how to use tech” but because these fucking domestic robots break after a few months to try to get you to pay for repairs and/or a brand new one

unless it’s a frictionless one made of physics-textbook-inium, definitely in the realm of possibility if you use it wrong really fast

lanternflies definitely defy this particular philosophical postulate
for those of us who like the way they look anyway
i stomped one nearby my toddler niece once and she looked a little too enthused by that, so I reminded her it’s important to be a little sad when a living thing dies, even you killed it to help protect the environment :(
- Comment on What would you put in a time capsule? 5 days ago:
Maybe some old tech or gadget you have laying around that isn’t worth much and you’re unlikely to user/sell/repurpose. Just make sure to remove any kind of battery, and wrap the device in paper, then plastic to minimize chance of corrosion damage and mess from plasticizers breaking down
A construction/utility worker in 50–100 years may get a kick out of seeing a midrange smartphone from 2010 the same way I’d be thrilled to find a cheap trypewriter or electric clothes iron from 50+ years ago. Mundane things don’t tend to get intentionally preserved, so it’s fun when you find one.

as someone who has tried to use regular bar soap as shampoo
yeah that shit will WAY over strip your hair oils. at least try using a “moisturizing” bar soap and you’re gonna need a fuck ton of conditioner also

- Comment on We owe a lot to Ohio 1 week ago:
based on Wikipedia alone, it seems like the federal subject he was born in do kinda got Ohio vibes
• cold, rainy, fucking humid
• not very populous
• fairly industrialapparently Isaac Asimov was also born there

yeah this would probably result in a D&D Beholder type species that necessarily has to hate and be revolted by others’ presence simply to keep the species from immediately dying of disease

at a previous lab we had “PCR amulets” (little plastic animals)
the failure rate was SIGNIFICANTLY higher when you used a machine without placing a plastic animal on it
i kept threatening to cut one open to see if it had a magnet inside and my supervisor warned me that a grad student might cut me open if I damaged any of the animal amulets lmao

I had a basil plant I neglected like hell and barely managed to keep alive for ~2 years. By the end of its life after several rounds of barely surviving me forgetting to water it for a week or two, its stems had become woody. I don’t know if all mature basil stems harden or if that was a consequence of my plant abuse

For instance (no spoilers) unit groups are built-in to base management. No hotkeys or group micro management required. It happens automatically as a functional result of more obvious concerns.
as someone who struggles with unit groups in AoE (the only RTS I play, cuz I suck at it lol) this intrigues me
