# zenith olive either complexes or houses,

so i havent done houses before but w my experience with complexes, check out the amenities (like a microwave or pool), what the crime is in the area is, if water sewage garbage is included, how trash/recycling works, how you get your mail and packages. in the us, with pets if it's not an esa or service animal they may charge an extra deposit as well as pet rent. some places dont, but a lot of places do.

How to stop global warming in three simple steps:
Step one: freeze the earth's iron core
Step two: earth's iron core is now solid and acts as a much better magnet than before
Step three: earth's magnetic field is now extremely powerful and deflects much more of sun's radiation stopping the global rise of temperatures on earth

I'm.... about 83% certain that's not how that works

I figured we'd construct a new moon in L1

I mean, sure, but we can do thought experiments on it!

While it is a sarcastic plan it will be viable in at most a century I hope

#

So fun fact, the earth’s molten core is what actually makes its magnetic field in the first place— the inner layer rotates at a different speed than the outer layers. This difference in motion is the earth’s Dynamo and it’s what generates the protective magnetic field.

#

If we froze the core, we would lose the dynamo, subsequently destroying the magnetic shield and causing our atmosphere to detach!

hah take that atmosphere. think they're so above us

#

is anyone here on the aro ace spectrum?

hexed hollow
#

yeah, there are ^-^

#

I am one of them

tall owl
#

heck yes

fast marlin
#

how did you

#

figure that out

#

because im kind of questioning if im on the aro spectrum

hexed hollow
#

I basically figgured it out once I learnt more about the spectrum, things kinda just fell into place kind of like "oh, I finally have a way to describe these experiences I've had all this time"
also if you think you're on the aro ace spectrum you probably are to one degree or another friendly

#

and if it turns out you're not aro/ace (or it happens to change in the future) that's valid also ^-^

tall owl
#

for me it was somewhat straightforward, going through the tried-and-tested 'gay?? -> bi/pan?? -> ace' pipeline and then seeing that aro was a thing - though it's probably harder to decipher if you're in the grey are demi area... what I realized for being aro is that my ideals of relationships were basically just friendships

hexed hollow
#

when I realised I was aro was more complicated and kinda tied to when I realised the extent I was trans

fast marlin
#

my problem is i dont know if ive ever actually experienced like crushes or if im trying to convince myself i did

hexed hollow
#

ahh, the good ol (worst) game of "is this crush or not"

fast marlin
#

and like. i dont want to be aro? ive always kind of imagined myself falling in love and getting married and all that

hexed hollow
#

platonic relationships and marriages are 100% a thing and are totally valid

tall owl
#

I thought I had crushes on people, but it was just a desire to form a friendship - as in, I'd meet a person and think 'I would like for them to be in my social circle and meet a couple times a month' (which is most certainly not how non-aro people experience crushes...)

fast marlin
#

yeah i know but its just a different thing to me (this feels very internalized allonormativty of me)

#

my crushes are mostly like i can think about dating my friends and all the romantic things but i dont know if i actually feel somethihng

hexed hollow
#

based on my limited knowledge of you as a person I'd say that sounds like a demiromantic thing
demiromantic being not experiencing romantic attraction until you've formed a bond (whether that be emotional, sexual etc.) with the person

tall owl
fast marlin
#

but idk if its romantic attraction is the big problem lmao

fast marlin

#

figuring out this kind of stuff can be really tricky, but I think you gots this, even if it takes a bunch of time friendly

# fast marlin is anyone here on the aro ace spectrum?

kicks down door coming in late to say yeah. i'm aro but not ace. which i didnt figure out until a few months ago. but for me it was "i'm 30 and i've never been in love" -> "am i capable of falling in love?" -> "wow i tried dating someone and realized that this person is cool but dating has such zero interest to me" -> "heck yeah single forever club." i've had a lot of crushes over my life thst were mostly "i like this person a lot" and interpreted it as romantic attraction because of that when really i just... liked that person a lot.

#

I realized wanting to be in love for me just meant i didnt want to die alone basically and i wanted to be really important in someone's life. and hey you dont actually need to be in love for that! so now i am straight vibing and it hecks severely

#

also idk how old you are but i didnt figure all this out until i was 30. you got time. you dont have to worry about having it all figured out this minute. and hey if you realize later thats not the right label for you that's ok. sometimes things change during our lives and sometimes they dont and both are fine.

serene tulip
#

I feel like I'm mildly aro because either I love almost everyone, or I love almost no one. Its really hard for me to figure out which is actually the case.

I'm in a bit of a pickle. So it seems all the books I want to get are best priced from direct Japanese stores (and in some cases, only available there).

I don't have many contacts in Japan, and the worst is to contact one of my friends from there that I haven't talked to since January.

how about something like amazon jp

additionally, if these books aren't sourced from japan (eg manga) you could consider buying from second-hand online stores and brick-and-mortar stores. i recently bought a book second-hand for $6 that usually retails second-hand for $25-30 in my city

Thanks Will. I'll have to look into it as these art books seem to be pretty rare on the markets here in the west and then otherwise they're super expensive when I can get each one individually for about £17 over there.

On top of that, I'm looking for english serialisations of this novel series that's pretty dear to me, but it's pretty niche. There's also a June 22 issue of this magazine, Geijutsu Shincho, that I'm looking for as well.

I guess I'm starting something of a collection for this series that's dear to me.

That last one you sent me has it for 24 dollars, but who knows what the postage will be - good recommendation regardless.

dry stratus
#

tokyo otaku mode ships to australia for a sane price but i know shipping to the uk is quite different now. hopefully you can find what you want across all three sites

fast pelican
#

I have a strong suspicion that getting them from Japan directly and shipping them once via a friend will be best overall so I'm willing to wait too. But let's hope this is cheap also.

Thank you once again - I'll conclude our discussion here.

I'm gonna try my luck with Kinokuniya since they have almost all the stuff I need there. It's a pain to have managed to register myself, now I have to wait an unspecified amount of time until they approve my membership.

Then we'll see what sort of shipping fees we're dealing with. But I have to say, both artbooks and a limited edition calendar for £50 total is bloody fantastic.

to think of it, she was still a ruler when every one of us was born

number of people who is older than us never gets bigger

and for me it's always sad when somebody famous dies, even if i didn't know them too much

still feels like a part of my world has been taken away

I don't know why but I absolutely disregard death

Even when my cat died

I have a different inner view on death

i kinda can relate

#

when you absolutely know somebody is about to pass away, and you can't do anything, you live in fear that it will happen soon

and when it actually happens, you feel like.. it's nothing to fear anymore

it is some sort of relief, but it doesn't bring joy

just emptiness

a bit different when it's an accident, when nothing was about to happen, and suddenly world has shattered

As I've heard my friend from Voronezh said. Yet I am concerned by the number of people who truly think that peace will only be brought with the Russian Army's victory. Doubly so when the propaganda must tell them that they're not creating any civilian casualties-

if you are legitimately concerned about what the future holds, I highly recommend pursuing a silly or grounded hobby. Learn how to make pie so you can turn cheap and bruised rejected apples into something tasty. Pick up knitting or sewing so you can feel empowered to repair clothes and pillowcases instead of buying new ones. Learn a bit of gardening. Go on a "recycle to save money" binge instead of for environmental reasons.
It's silly, but even if the skills never come into use, it's both grounding you in an activity and also gives you a sense of empowerment once you do the thing.

i thought about learning to repair damaged hard drives, just in case

#

don't know where to start though

buoyant frigate
#

yeah, it can take a bit of searching at first, but I'm certain google or youtube could totally point you in the right direction!

#

Also, at least in the US, a lot of universities will sell their old computers on a government auction site when they upgrade. It's a good thing to do some digging and keep an eye on as that would be a much more affordable way to grab "practice computers" to mess around with

Sowing is a game changer in the realm of skills .

buoyant frigate

It for sure is. I did it a little bit in high school and it was so cool to wear a wrap skirt I made myself. I didn't have the money to dive into it deeper back then but now that I'm an adult with a job.......

#

Starting a wholly sustainable household in the west here is no easy feat though, especially if you're learning everything from scratch. To say nothing of isolating yourself from society in necessary ways.

#

But it's great if you have the determination to pull it off.

buoyant frigate
#

yeah, absolutely. Gardening definitely isn't the same as Farming To Live Off The Land, but I do think framing things in smaller hobbies is a good way to introduce people to a skill and give them the vocabulary to start seeing it with a bigger picture

#

I think it helps curb the feeling of "holy crap I'm only a computer person with computer skills, what do I do when [Fictional EMP Apocalypse] hits me"

fast pelican
#

With the way things are looking, I don't really see the average working-middle class individual having much drive to focus on hobbies when they're working 70 hours a week to be able to live.

Realistically speaking, you might have to do some serious sacrifices first before changing rails.

In terms of lifestyle, that is.

am living in a small town atm, at my relatives' house, and there are some apple and pear trees here.. it's not possible to pick all of the fruits asap, so they get overripe and fall

#

and they make jams and compotes out of them

#

they're not too good to eat right away, but just right to be made into something

#

and those are really delicious

even my golden retriever liked those fruits.. despite our efforts to stop him from stealing them from the ground

i love pickling

#

i make killer sweet pickled apples

fast marlin
#

oooo how

blissful charm
# fast marlin oooo how

2 glass half pint jars. 1 or 2 green apples, sliced. combine pickling liquid (1 cup water, 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar, 1/4 cup apple cider, 1/4 cup white wine vinegar) with seasonings (1 cinnamon stick, pinch or two whole cloves, molasses and maple syrup to taste, and maybe like 1/2 Tbs - 1 Tbs coarse kosher salt i always forget how much i use) in a pot and heat to a low boil, stirring occasionally. boil for a few minutes, then remove cinnamon sticks (using tongs) and put one in each jar. then pour the pickling solution into the jars

#

be sure to leave 1/4" space between the liquid line and the rim. also make sure your apples dont go above the liquid line, or you risk mold

#

screw on the cap and let come to room temperature. once cool, dtore in the fridge for like a month or two

#

note that it takes about a week for the apples to get the right flavor

fast marlin
#

gonna write this down

How do people ask for time off work without tying themselves up into guilt-knots about it?

indigo walrus
#

Try think about it this way - if you need time off, because you need to rest, then after you're rested, your work performance will be better. So both you, and your employer win in the end,

#

But yea, sadly, for many companies the idea that happy employee is an asset for a company, is beyond understanding 😦

#

Do people really say "yes sir" in normal situations like not in military

proud flicker
#

If you are in a high end restaurant, sometimes

#

It's a bit weird though

forest basalt
#

yeah some employment scenarios require it

#

sometimes i'll say it if the waiter is asking if i wnat my water refilled

mossy trail
#

But I meant like in informal situation like in books

#

Like uhh kids to adults

dry stratus
#

also depends on the country. in the philippines, you regularly refer to people as 'ma'am', 'sir', or 'ma'amser'

limber walrus
#

I do jokingly sometimes, or if I'm affirming someone's gender. Sometimes if I'm trying to get someone's attention and I'm reasonably sure that 'sir' is a gender-appropriate form of address.

Beyond that though it's an authority thing, not just military

#

the nice thing about cutting your hair off is that people misgender me both ways hell yeah

#

two for one deal

#

its kinda nice though lmao i dont really care too much what people call me

#

okay dnd is so wild because you have
-a demon druid whos a total sweetheart but also could probably kill you
-a criminal furry who would kill you
-literally just a teenage lion who wants a cat toy
-and a bratty prince who flirts with everyone
and you expect us to go stop a war

#

there was a streamed dnd campaign where four animals had to stop 9/11. never watched it tho

fast marlin
#

Checks out

#

also that teenage lion has shoes that squeak when they walk

tall owl
#

fast marlin
#

forest basalt
#

that's fun unlike another cyberpunk themed piece of media

vocal yoke
#

installing it rn mind you

forest basalt
#

if you are gonna try to enjoy it try installing reshade or something

#

changes the lighting and coloring

#

makes the game less green

vocal yoke
#

it cant be that bad the patch just released

forest basalt
#

all of the patches are pretty empty other than bug fixes and balance changes

#

there's new cosmetic stuff which would only matter if you're super into photomode

They’re not gonna care how tiny and meticulous my stitches are

rain mortar
#

fast marlin
#

True

#

i have so much to do for this cosplay dude its insane

serene tulip
#

Stop stitching start gluing :3

fast marlin
#

#

okay maybe for the lace insets

#

Lmao

#

ms “pinnacle of character design” jester lavorre has a looot of peices

serene tulip
#

I mean, the real key of a god Jester Lavorre cosplay is a giant lolipop

fast marlin
#

that is a “when i get pink pool noodles” job

#

I’m gonna get to it if i finish the Actual Costume Pieces on time

#

I have a lil tiny lollipop though i might put it on her pouch thing for a lil extra flare

serene tulip
#

Be purple, have horns, have giant lolipop, nothing else really matters :3

fast marlin
#

well i have horns and blue paint so

#

Oh speaking of i should go check on those i did the silver caps last night with spray paint thats probably dry by now

serene tulip
#

I don't have the body type for any of the cosplay I'd wanna do :<

#

be cool if I could just shapeshift into Rei from Solar Ash

fast marlin
#

i dont really think the body type matters, if you have the elements (like clothes and wig and all that) of the character people’ll recognize you as the character

#

also optical illusions exist and people have been using stuff like padding and corsetry ect to get the ideal shape for centuries and the whole “your physical body shaped by genetics has to be x to be fashionable” is a really modern thing

#

but thats a whole other debate im not getting into

serene tulip
#

Also I can't skate ;P

fast marlin
#

thats fair lmao
