Sweaty foxgirl wonders "What the fuck?!" 

Me, not too long ago: Haha, look at the idiot I am, thinking I can take on a dominant in a boxing match with my shitty stamina. What a dumbass, am I right?

Me, today, after biking to and from a therapy appointment *nine* miles away: What the fuck. How the fuck. How the utter *fuck* did I manage that?! WHAT THE FUCK?!

transphobia 

oh boy do I sure *fucking* love it when I'm thinking of commissioning someone and then they say The Worst Weeb Word, then when they're calmly told that it's not nice to use that word to describe anything gender non-conforming, they pull the whole "weh but it's a MEME, this has nothing to do with calling real gnc people or crossdressers dishonest predators because I wasn't calling a REAL PERSON that" bullshit

Accepting myself as a transbian has ruined my brain.

My geology professor, talking about a rock formation: "It's an igneous dike."
Me, to myself: "I'm an igneous dyke."

Mental health (neg) 

I get that, like, they generally don't mean "walk 4.5 miles then bike another 4.5 miles," but, like, still. This fucking sucks.

"Oh, yeah, you should exercise. It'll help with your depression."
Issues with actually getting to that point aside, yeah, great idea. Do something that will cause my brain to start using up what little serotonin I actually have in the tank. That's a great idea.

Things I have had to do since getting home with my new bike: Google how to deal with coming down of ecstasy in the hopes of dealing with my now-depleted serotonin reserves

@auravulpes if anyone's mad it's because they're enbyous they didn't think of it first.

I would like to sincerely apologize for this joke. Not because it's offensive or anything. Just because it's bad.

Unless it's not bad, in which case, I rescind my apology.

My new bicycle is non-binary.

It's an enbicycle.

Sweaty foxgirl celebrates 

Holy shit, peeps. I just walked *an hour and a half* across Arlington just to buy a new bike. I have never been so happy to see a Target in my life, and that's including the time I got lost and struggled to find the exact same Target. I am drenched in sweat, probably lost at least 5 lbs., but I fuckin' did it. :blobcheer:

on the ion fury trans/homophobia bs 

the whole thing reads as outrage marketing to me. to the uninformed, that's the tactic of purposefully being outrageous, then rescinding it with a public apology so consumers feel like purchasing that product is positive reinforcement for the company. why give them the time of day and press coverage when they've made it clear that their views haven't changed and that the whole "0 tolerance policy" and donation to an lgbt rights organization is just a PR act

FreeBSD 

So, I finally fixed my audio issues. Turns out, it has to do with an issue in the kernel that apparently only affects a couple of Dell laptops. A couple hours of recompiling later, though, and it's fixed! The static is gone!

tfw you forget you're literally *compiling a kernel*

Current ADHD mood:
Wait a second! I was compiling the FreeBSD kernel earlier, wasn't I? How's that going?

Giving up car ownership 

Pros:
- HEALTHY!
- Save money on fuel and maintenance
- IDK, feel more in touch with the world?

Cons:
- Have to already be in decent shape
- Car drivers hate you on the roads
- Pedestrians hate you on the sidewalk
- Cities won't give you bike lanes
- SWEAT
- Seriously, you're gonna spend all the money you're saving on deodorant because you live in an area that regularly experiences highs of ~40°C during summer :blobonfire:

FreeBSD 

FreeBSD Complain #52:
Why in the fucking worlds does ports insist on reinstalling shit from scratch? Like, I have lang/ruby24 installed. WHY IS IT TRYING TO REINSTALL IT FROM SOURCE?! All I wanted to do was compile Vim with the Motif toolkit. Why are you reinstalling ruby from source?
