It's the chocolate in the malt.
"Both the flavanols and methylxanthines are believed to play a role in chocolate's mood-enhancing effects."

Yes, for us trans people it is natural to first check someoneβs profile wer pronouns and use the correct ones. But it is also ok to feel good about that because that can really brighten someoneβs day - just to see their correct pronouns being used. Just this single act of kindness, that is second nature for us - but yeah, β¦ ok, I am brabbling againβ¦ just stop meβ¦ try stopping meβ¦
What was I saying? I dunno⦠maybe just this: thank you!
Middle class complaints
On the phone with the company managing my 401(k), and he keeps tap-dancing on my last nerve till I snap.
No, you're not looking out for my welfare, your company wants to make money for itself. *You* are legally required to make money for your company. I don't even enter the picture. Don't pretend you care about my retirement, you care about your next bonus. Every fund offered is a gamble, and your company keeps losing - with my money!
Meltdown achieved. Thanks for that.

Well, the current started getting rough,
The tiny ship was lost.
If not for the negligent crew at hand,
The passengers would be safe, the passengers would be safe.
The ship's still lost and likely gone
with the CEO'ooooo and no first mate,
The billionaire, and no wife
the other billionaire plus one more
a 4th billionaire, and a fifth one too....

#sorrynotsorry but asking marginalised people to CW their lived experiences is not okay. Youβre more than welcome to block me. I donβt get to choose not to be Black. I donβt get to choose CW in the physical world. Maybe instead of coming at peopleβs lived experiences to out into the physical world & tell off the deplorable people

I'm pretty sure one sister is bipolar. Another I've started thinking is very likely autistic. My parents I can't be objective about, so...

PTSD was a gift from my bio-family. They really are completely nucking futs.
@simid@neurodifferent.me @actuallyautistic
I had the same questions, but haven't come to any conclusions. I was formally diagnosed with PTSD, but autism explains a lot more of my life than PTSD does. So I think (for me) it could be both.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
