Steve's still just as fit as ever, he even offered his truck so I didn't have to pay movers. My kid likes to play with Clara's on weekends, while she tells me the funniest stories about customers. She's seeing someone new she's pretty excited about. We're all in a band and we practice in my garage on weekends, since I don't mind hosting. I'd rather fill that space with old friends than bitter memories.

I believe in good sources. Thanks for noticing ~

I get whatever's on sale.

Interesting perspective. Care to elaborate?

I'm not able to go vegan. Crickets are a pretty low impact animal protein product, and I don't find it any harder to work cricket flour into recipes than I did trying to make things vegan. I actually like cricket stew, crackers, and cookies.

Could be good for pets, too, if obligate carnivores/omnivores can get the same nutrition from more environmentally friendly sources.

For background, I was vegetarian for about a year before both a doctor and a nutritionist confirmed it was why I felt sick, tired, and in a fog most of the time.

Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids. There's been a fair amount of research done on its role in mitigating ADHD, specifically. I take them and notice a decline in mood and overall presence of mind when I've forgotten to take my pills for a while.

If one of my besties thought they could live their best life as a helicopter I would absolutely support them.

Bumping because I'm interested, too. I tried teaching myself ASL, hoping to find a good, free app. The only decent resources I found were paid.

Shit, we should just stop observing and testing because the dictionary has us covered.

Aside from personal anecdotes, like my trans aunt marrying a straight man, and trans friends dating self-identified straight, or gay people who have never had a relationship or attraction outside their preferred gender—there have been studies on the subject.

Not many, admittedly, since it's a new area of research. Politics, presentation, and genitals are factors (attraction to pre-op vs post-op trans people differs,) but there's plenty of anecdotal evidence, articles and surveys that have been published if you searched for "straight attraction to trans identities."

I didn't post a link because none are as specific and comprehensive as the volume of information from a search. The Wikipedia article by that title has a short list of resources as well.

And why not challenge yourself to consider alternatives to your views? Learn more about sex, attraction and gender identity because it's interesting? Unless there are specific reasons you don't want to think straight men could be attracted to trans women.

Not at will, no. But the sex/gender attraction thing isn't accurate.

People who consider themselves straight may still feel the same level of attraction toward trans people of their preferred gender. In my limited understanding, this is based on a combination of presentation, hormones and pheromones.

Rick is a treasure and I want to get fit with him.

Turns out I can only get off using my feet.

Yes. This is the shit I need. Fun dangly toys on my ceiling.

This is great because I suck at push-ups. I hadn't considered there was a whole variety of them to try.

I agree with the sentiment of making sure our leaders work for Canada but this is such vague language that could be taken to mean anything. It reads hollow, toothless, and a little bit concerning.

What constitutes foreign interference? What would be done if a candidate was under foreign influence? I'd like a more comprehensive description of "national loyalty," because that's a term that could be used against qualified candidates.

Wait, you don't imagine elaborate narratives where, say, Adrien Brody's car breaks down in a stretch in the wilderness with nothing but your cabin for miles. So he walks toward the only structure and I'm there studying mosses and it's so remote I have a sat phone I let him use to call for help, but it'll be a while so I make him some tea and we get to talking. Night falls before help comes so I light a fire in the pit and let him borrow a sweater I stole from an ex and pull out a bottle of whiskey I was saving for something special but it's special enough. It keeps us chatting untill the early hours when a tow truck finally shows and I see him off. When I get home from my studies I find a package waiting for me—it's the sweater he borrowed, a thank you card, and a bottle of fine whiskey?

(I'm uncomfortable sexually fantasizing about real people.)

I have some big news for you about libraries and second hand book stores.

I don't think you understand this game.

Like slime girls from the legends of Rule34, I imagine.

That's my point. We don't allocate energy resources based on importance, and when this argument is brought up there's no scale for comparison when someone says AI, specifically, is destroying the planet.
