  the loans are a lot more risky. What happens when a loan is riskier? The interest rate is higher, or people are just outright rejected.

  And the likelihood is that the people who are outright rejected will follow unfortunate patterns.

  What are you supposed to do if your tea goes cold?

  Or a sensory processing disorder.

  I don’t often feel hungry or have a drive to eat, until I am literally dizzy from low blood sugar. I have found in my life that the need to prepare food can often be a stumbling block to me actually eating. For a while my go-tos were instant oatmeal or cup of noodles. I also have no problem eating the same thing repetitively (see my hummus and cheese sandwich lunch for over a year).

  Soylent was bland, but pretty much instantaneous. I could notice that it was after a certain point in time, have a soylent shake ready to go in less than a minute and sip on that while doing other things.

  I’m not still doing it because now I have a partner who will (sometimes) ensure that food ready to eat is shoved in front of me in a semi regular basis. (Additionally sometimes it is easier to think “I need to prep food for partner” and then there’s dinner for me too, than trying to make the time to make dinner for myself).

  Honestly I think my buns are usually one of my colder areas on the surface. All that good insulation.

  Ahh, here’s my problem, a beer lasts me like 45 minutes or more

  It’s a two way street. Your hand is reciprocally warming the drink.

  Also aluminum is super great at conducting heat! which means your drink will rapidly move toward whatever temperature it is.

  It also changes the osmolarity of the water in the soil, changing how water can move into their root system.

  I’m pretty sure autism is their baseline.

  Unless it’s a Border Collie, and in that case it’s (probably pretty literal) OCD.

  Just because I’ve had so many people tell me “I didn’t need so many meds/a walker/ oxygen up my nose until I came to the hospital”, I want to point out that the diagnosis itself is not the death sentence. As the organ donor showed, even if no one knows you have rabies, rabies will kill you dead.
