Ugh I posted a selfie, so I guess I’ll do a somewhat real bio now that I’m not a mystery person anymore :/

  • Trans woman (she/her)
  • Photographer
  • Fashion addict
  • Occasional techie
  • Friendly (feel free to reach out)

  • Oh that makes sense, I kinda remember hearing about that before. I didn’t ask which kind she had and I’m not sure if there’s a significant difference. I must’ve glossed over that stuff, since I was more focused on figuring out the risk. I just remember learning in school that it was a cause for concern and she’s very insecure about it and she takes daily antivirals. I figured if you need medicine, it must be bad. I guess it could just be good old abstinence fear mongering propaganda. I’ll have to read more thoroughly.

  • I actually don’t have it all. I don’t even get cold sores. But I meant genital herpes.

  • I was listening to the 5-4 podcast recently and they repeatedly stressed the point that Trump has lost ≈90% of lower court decisions and won ≈90% of Supreme Court decisions, which is an absurd swing. I’ll try to dig up a source on it though. Still it’s blatantly obvious that the SC has completely abandoned the rule of law and the constitution.

  • Your snark doesn’t really land when you obviously avoided my entire point of bars being a social thing. You wanna stay home and drink cheaper stuff by yourself, go nuts. I’m still gonna go out and make friends and memories.

  • That’s a wild take. Most people I know don’t go to bars for an efficient alcoholic experience. They go so they can dance and talk with people. Sure its like $7 a beer or $13 a drink, but that pays for clean up you don’t have to do, a place to hang out, and giving people willing to work late money to live. I don’t have any alcohol at home since it’s honestly too cheap and has already caused me problems.

  • There’s a YT video by Fern that goes over a story about some german cops burning a drunken black man alive and covering it up. Non-copaganda crime documentaries exist, although they’re rare. I love crime media, but I always take it with a grain of salt since the genre is generally pretty biased.

  • My taste in music is dictated entirely by whether or not I think a song is fun to sing. I keep everything in one eclectic super playlist. These are a few of the songs I’ll skip if I have normal people in my car, so they’re a bit weird or at least have an uncommon sound/vibe.

    • “Tagga” by Kluben
    • “Escargot” by Jarv
    • “The Cult of Dionysus” by The Orion Experience
    • “Savages” and “Charlie’s Inferno” by That Handsome Devil
    • “Oh Actually” by 1 Trait Danger
    • “2025” by Bohdi
    • “Why Do I?” by Chii
    • “You’re an Ace Kid” by DEMONDICE
    • “Wasted on the Senate Floor” by Emperor X
    • “Phantasm” by JACK THE STRIPPER
    • “Fall” by Swing Republic
  • Toothpaste tubes and similar containers are intentionally designed to be inconvenient to get the full contents out of.

  • For society? Largely doom. Innovation is slowing as money is moved more into control than improvement and inequality will grow.

    For tech, I think AR will be the next big thing and may get a foothold within 5-10 years. The main barriers right now are minimization and power storage. If technology like graphene super capacitors can finally bloom and computation chips continue to shrink and become more efficient, then I can see a sizable market of people willing to wear AR glasses for a more convenient smart phone experience.

  • “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” by Panic! At the Disco. It’s been my favorite album since it came out. I never get tired of it. Specifically “Camisado” is my favorite track on it.

  • Oh I didn’t even realize you were talking about games lmao even though you mentioned newgrounds. I was thinking strictly for animation. That makes perfect sense for games.

  • I was only a kid in Flash’s heyday, so I’ve never dealt with it creatively. I didn’t even know it supported vector graphics. You can animate SVGs though, but I don’t know if there’s a good tool for it though. I’ve only ever made SVG animations by hand with SMIL.

    Also wouldn’t blender be better suited for vertex colored animations? I feel like in either case the point is lost though since it’ll have to be rasterized eventually.

  • I love SVGs. Vector images are interesting and seeing an image stored in readable text and still being so small is really cool to me. It’s also fun to play around with since you can plug html into it and vice versa.

  • I had a serious TBI when I was a kid and more than 15 concussions so my eggs are a bit scrambled.

    I can’t sustain a mental image, I can only visualize flashes of things. If I try to hold on to a mental image, it’s just a series of flashes that quickly become warped until the image just kinda dissolves and I have to imagine a new one. I also kinda of can’t remember faces. I can recognize people, but I can’t describe anyone’s face or remember/visualize details. I can only describe my own face as a list of features I’m aware of, but I can’t visualize it nor do I recognize myself in photos.

    Verbal thought usually comes in the form of a dialogue between myself and an imagined other person. There’s no one there and I knowingly come up with the question the other will ask, but I can’t just think to myself without quickly losing track.

    I also have ADHD, OCD, and major depressive disorder, so I also have the symptoms and episodes of those rattling around up there. I’m not sure if I’d call them thoughts though, because they feel different.

  • Yes.

  • If you time it right, you can stop my microwave on 0. I also like to avoid making noise if I can. So every time I microwave anything it’s a little minigame for me.

  • I always wanted to live in a country that was totally different from America when I was a kid. I thought either India, China, or Japan back then, but now I’m not sure I’d want to live in any of them right now.

    I guess I could go to nearby countries that don’t have global headlines like them say like Bangladesh, Thailand, or Indonesia, but I don’t really know anything about them.

    I think the smart option would be somewhere in Europe, but I kinda want to get away or at least take a break from “western” culture.

    I guess I can’t name a dream country, but somewhere with a totally different culture. I’d also want it to have a bunch of ruins and historical sites to visit. I’ve never seen anything older than like 150 years in person.

  • In the last 50 years? I’d say civilization has evolved. More people can survive for longer and people are mostly safer than they used to be. I think “evolved” is a tricky word though, it invokes a sense of permanence to me. Humanity can never become the ape it evolved from, but civilization can certainly go back to previous states.

    I think it’s more accurate to say civilization has progressed or advanced, at least according to the goals I talked about at first. To me the basic things that motivates humans to create civilizations are: population, life expectancy, and safety. Right now, I’d say we’re stagnant. Some populations are dropping, life expectancy is dropping in some countries, war and unrest are growing. If we haven’t started regressing, we will soon if nothing changes. Yet still inequality, population collapse, and climate change all threaten to destroy what we have and soon too.

  • If you took the pic cause it was funny at the time and the girls laughed when they saw it, I think your best option is to laugh at it too. It’s not the worst case scenario and if you’re worried about your rep with those girls or something the best look is to not worry about it.
