Suck_on_my_Presence

Omg. Yes. I heard the word "Hegemony" out loud recently and it was like a new world was born of only that word for at least a few days

Had a conversation with someone about how Acutane makes your bones turn green.

So for the past week, my head has been looping The Bones is Green in my head over and over and over.

Lovely

That's fair. It isn't a small room, for sure. I just like to be able to have clean floors.

And I suppose I really don't lounge in bed often. Hmmm good point

I do. And they're pretty good at not clawing stuff up, so I'm not too worried

I don't know how true this is across the board, but I'm an office worker for a power company and a lot of the people in my department are union because we work with the stuff around what the electricians and gas guys do. So maybe it's worth looking into jobs that support the trades to see if the workers around such are unionized as well?

For what it's worth, and more specificity, I do GIS mapping for electric and gas utilities in the area my company covers.

Maleficent in Kingdom Hearts 1.

Oh my god. I tried everything. Every potion combo, every magic combo, every adjustment of Donald and Goofy to make them heal or damage. Never beat her. And never beat the game.

And before that is the fight against Riku with that hours long unstoppable cutscene. "You'll never take Kairi's heart!"

In Colorado there was a burger chain called Red Top and by god, it was amazing. The burgers were the size of plates and they'd use shredded lettuce and the perfect cheese that was always so wonderfully melty.

And then they disappeared.

Similarly, there used to be a candy shop called Michelle's that has the best truffles and the best sundaes. But womp womp, they didn't pay some taxes and were shut down. No more candy. No more magic. No more perfect ice cream.

Depending on how your cat handles stress, you could probably just take it out with you to go wherever. But especially no one will blink if you spend all day in an airport with your buddy in their crate.

Is that a real dog?

Is that the set of Bear in the Big Blue House?

I left home at 18 for a job and it was like I ceased to exist to anyone that I'd loved before then. My old friends and my family completely seemed to forget about me.

So ten years on, I finally have had enough of this loneliness and boredom, so I searched through a reddit LFG for DnD5e online through Roll20 since I'd played it for a little while with coworkers and understood it well enough. Joined a group with a rigorous entry questionnaire and met a bunch of others that have been through thick and thin together now.

But in that group, one of the people was somewhat outward with their own troubled past that matched mine in a lot of ways. From there we got talking, and we started to become friends. And through a few games and a now a handful of years, they are one of the - if not the - most important people in my life.

They help validate my struggles and offer solutions when I want them, and they come to me when they need the same. I moved across the country to be closer to them and a few others from the DnD group and it's just really been life changing for me in no small words. I started therapy, I stopped being suicidal, I've grown so so much, and I've learned depths of love that I've never encountered before. I do have a crush on my friend and they know, but we're entirely platonic and as close as we can be (I think I'm just Demi sexual?? I just fall in love with people close to me even if it's not romantic).

From how they describe their end, they've experienced a lot of the same things and a lot of the same personal growth. Neither of us would be who we are today without one another.

Humans have stripes that are invisible to us. However, cats can see our stripes.

Wait. Please explain. How is DNA inside me, a verifiable human, not human?
