Am I the only one who prefers face-to-face over everything else?

It’s the only form of comms where I have all the information/cues to interpret, and no bullshit lag.

1. In person - all cues, real time.
2. Text - verbal comms, gives me a chance to read. No body language or tone to glean from though.
3. I hate audio calls because I’m hard of hearing, sound quality is shit and I can’t lip read or respond on my own time.
4. Video is somehow worse since now two sensory inputs are fucked due to awful stream quality/lag and my usual methods of trying to understand what’s said are shot. Worse, people expect it to be “better” because I can see now and it makes me angrier. 🙃

I feel this so much. I am but a bunch of electrical signals piloting a meat sack; having to tie social concepts of “gender” on top of it all is an overwhelming amount of extra work I don’t feel like taking on.

That said, OP, yes anyone can have goals - your body, your life, your joy: pursue it as you see fit.

As always, the best way to get kids to stop using these words is to use them yourself. Use the ancient cringe-power to disarm the youth 🦹🔥

This is how I got mine. I had just my one cat for a couple years then one day a new momma shows up on my front steps and informs me that I have a new owner.

Eventually ended up with her and two of her second litter and they’re all lazily asleep on my couch while my first girl is on my her bed and will give me stink eye if I go in before my approved bedtime.

Goats are like if someone combined domestic cats with toddlers and gave the result horns and hooves.

It takes a certain constitution to deal with them but they’re quite entertaining.

I won’t ever slack up

The language of this write-up has me envisioning social media as a parallel to the person-shaped holes in Junji Ito’s The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

If it’s any consolation your mother is beautiful and will serve 6-8 quite nicely

Indie game devs have always existed I see

Any cosmetic body alteration should only be done according to the will of the body-haver.

Poor little guy is brand new to the world and just wants sleep, warmth and food. Instead he gets this 💔

I come here to collect memes to share with my loved ones. Once I get ~5 at a time I stop ¯(ツ)_/¯

Boil everything and hope nothing survives since the fresh produce is screwed too

Trump’s allies often dismissed [Pope] Francis as overstepping his spiritual boundaries and acting as a political figure.

lolololol

Thank you, I appreciate it. /gen

Why NSFW?

Insomnia.

I finally landed on a sleep pattern that (mostly) alleviates/prevents my chronic migraines and today I got all of 45 minutes and haven’t been able to get a wink since. Think Green Day’s Brain Stew.

Trying to keep my meds and routines as much as possible and hopefully stay up/sleep in to where I need to but I worry I’m screwed for the next week or so.

Not sure what the late American music artist, XXXTentacion (left) has to do with this, but it did spur me to look up and find out that Republican former New York representative George Santos (right) has recently been sentenced for his fraudulent political campaign.

NSAIDs worsen my asthma so I have no other choice besides staying in pain 🥲

Excellent points :) I do use Libby through my local library for reading e-books so it’s a great suggestion.
