"I don't care whether I should be spraying fabreeze into my hair. I'm spraying fabreeze into my hair."

Friend: Sends me "humorous" article on programming

Me: Sends back a not-insignificantly long chunk of analysis of said article, probably looking way too deep into it

I'm honestly not sure whether or not this is something my friend expected. Like, I wanna say he just expected a "lol" or something. Maybe no response. But, then, we've know each other long enough that he may have very well expected overly in-depth analysis. I have no clue.

Anyways, there's a glimpse of my life :blobcatmlem:

"So over here we have the kitchen."
As the guests looked in to the kitchen, their faces dropped, seeing nothing but ovens covering every possible area. Who was this woman, and why did her kitchen only contain ovens? They would never quite get to know the answer.

science, pol, (not so) hot take 

The replication crisis is a problem of capitalism. The need to earn grants and to publish "ground-breaking" research lest you lose your job means that no one really gets to focus on making sure all that older stuff gets published. You're better off trying to show some cool new fact than to replicate (or fail to replicate) something done 20 years ago.

One of my Twitter mutuals said this so I’ll say it here too: mocking people for using scripts for conversations or “sounding like robots” is ableist as fuck

Chronic pain / pain meds / things not to say 

If someone mentions their chronic pain, please don’t say ‘have you taken painkillers?’

Because

A. We have. We’re still in pain.

B. We haven’t but can’t rn for some reason.

C. We can’t take painkillers.

Unless you know someone very well and that they appreciate being reminded it’s an option it’s kinda not a good thing to ask.

someone make a new history series that's just reenacting every time in history colonizers got owned. an episode where captain cook gets murdered set to mama mia. a reenactment of the alamo but santa anna is the good guy and every time a slave owner gets killed it gets faster. custer's last stand but every time a white dude gets killed there's airhorns

Incidentally, one of these members has also decided that she's a permanent fixture and can never leave.

(Spoiler alert: it's also Sarah.)

Plural, mh (-) 

So, it seems my system has three members: Kat (me!), Jade, and my (our?) brain, who will henceforth be referred to as Sarah. One of these members is incredibly toxic and needs to go.

(Spoiler alert: it's Sarah.)

at that point i would recommend closing the tab

Incidentally, either way, we still want to fight as foreplay. This just determines whether or not I want to win.
