@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz i know this phenomenon well

i have such a backlog of movies i need and want to see, but i don't have brainspace for movies, and it's very frustrating, so i end up uhhh watching cheezy murder mysteries instead. it's frustrating as hell

if you listen closely you can probably hear @eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz sobbing after asking 'is there anything whiter than x' and receiving more cursed fucking knowledge from my wonderbread ass

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz may i submit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_(1978_TV_series) for consideration.

realized that i hadn't had an ice pack on my shoulder in a couple of hours and that it was downright sizzling

pulled out the non-contact thermometer again

bad shoulder is 98 degrees, good shoulder is 90 on the surface. so i'm well air-conditioned except for THE PROBLEM CHILD. because DUDE. WHAT THE FUCK

@efertone oh nice!! thank you, that's really useful for when i get rdm up!

...of course i've been having enough bad luck with roulettes right now that here's hoping rng is due to give me some credit and one duo run later it'll be sorted and i'll have the minion for my alt LOL

@efertone there is the small matter that i hate playing sch LMAO

now that i've got myself all in tome gear today, i can work on getting rdm up through roulettes, though :) between that and trusts because i want those minions, it's not going to be too difficult.

(or just take up a guildmate's offer to duo it LOL)

@efertone sadly i got to the first boss and realized that on summoner, it ain't happening

since my buncle can't hold aggro while i heal it now 😩 and physick is straight-up useless

i think it could be doable as rdm though (sadly, i don't have it to 80 yet)

who has cursed me in ffxiv to suffer an onslaught of stone mages. how can i apply to have this reversed

time to see if i can do some stunts in ffxiv and see if i can solo baelsar's wall at lv 80 smn

because i have decided that my viera needs a bullpup named Bjáni

i am a massive sap but

i really fuckin enjoyed thancred's character arc

and eden raids are enjoyable because there's more of thancred actually being a good stepdad. he's gone from "it's my car, i choose the music" to "honey i got tickets for us to go see the jonas brothers for your birthday" and just accepting he'll be in the back sipping some overpriced beer but smiling because his daughter's having a good time

good news is that i'm feeling ok enough to type in roulettes

bad news is that i'm feeling ok enough to type in roulettes

yes it's important to approach cis men as potential allies and make feminism relevant to them by addressing toxic masculinity, but

please don't blame it all on "their brains just don't work that way!! it's all the testosterone that makes them unable to think about others!!!", unless you're going to say that every trans masc person, cis woman with pcos, etc. is also a selfish bastard by biological fiat

@FirstProgenitor yeah, def keep it in mind for when you have insurance! if you've ever had asthma, too, insurances will leap at the chance to get you allergy shots. (because from their point of view, asthma complications can get *very expensive very quickly* lol.)

for right now though you can always look up strategies to cut down on other common allergens (like mold, pollen, dust mites) and see if maybe that gives you some wiggle room to possibly put a cat in there ^0^

@FirstProgenitor (fwiw though many insurances are happy to pay for allergy shots with a little coaxing. it's cheaper overall for them do pay a mildly high cost for a year than it is to have you be much more at risk for more expensive health problems for the rest of your life.)

if you have access to one, i'd def say go see an allergist. they can do proper testing and help you map out just how allergic you are (and the other shit you're allergic to that might be contributing to it all).

@FirstProgenitor the expensive solution that's sadly only really available if you have good insurance is allergy shots. they take awhile of doing a once-a-week injection, but it means you get your body used to not being allergic to bullshit overall. and since it's all your allergies at once, for the rest of your life, it's a fantastic long-term solution to get things down where even with a cat, your body's total 'things we're being allergic to' doesn't meet the threshold (if that makes sense).

@FirstProgenitor it depends wildly on how bad is bad and what other things you're allergic to (and how hypoallergenic the cat is - there aren't really defined breeds like there are with dogs, it's a bit of a tossup)

allergies often operate at a threshhold model - basically if enough things stack up, you'll be symptomatic. so it could be that you're ok with cats as long as you're taking an anti-allergy med *and* you're also wrangling your other allergies (dust mites, mold, etc). >

i wonder how badly the sleep tracker on this app will go with my dog in the bed with me too LOL

anyway

good night fediverse
