I need to remember this as someone who can lucid dream but still has the occasional nightmare loops that lead to awful sleep.

What profits?

I have my phone browser defaulted to reader mode, and it really blows my mind how bad this stuff has gotten whenever I toggle it off. Most sites are straight up unreadable.

How about book clubs? I’m in a couple, and my neighborhood has monthly silent book clubs (bookended with socializing time). Both an opportunity to socialize during meetups, and a great way to occupy your time in between.

Man, I have my diabetes under control now (6.0 A1C) but never stopped peeing all the time. I can’t remember the last night of sleep I got with less than a few bathroom visits. Didn’t help I had to get on a diuretic for my blood pressure.

Unscented soap/deodorant and a splash of my favorite cologne.

What OS? Totally fine over here.

Honestly smaller local shows are so much better anyway. I’d go see some local band at the dive down the street over a stadium show any day.

Likely not. I’m a cis straight man who tends to be into women who aren’t into men, so while particularly feminine women aren’t my thing, the parts matter to me in terms of dating/having sex. Fully post-op and passing would certainly consider, but I know that’s not always the goal for trans folks.

So, AI.

Not gonna work here anymore, anyway.

We’ve looked at how our teams work best, and the data is clear: when people work together in person more often, they thrive — they are more energized, empowered, and they deliver stronger results.

Would be interested in seeing that data.

Getting older and finding anxiety meds that actually worked for me here. It’s vastly improved my social life, especially around asking people out. There’s literally no downside or reason to be nervous about it.

Not many. My phone is typically on Do not Disturb when I’m not working, and a custom focus mode I call Deep Work when I am working. The primary difference just being focus filters so I can use the same calendar/email app I like but not see anything work related outside regular work hours. I’ll check in on my notifications somewhat regularly, but basically nothing can actually ping me.

Damn save some gay sex for the rest of us.

I’m starting to think this guy’s balls may not actually be big.

Maybe not for everyone, but it’s pale blue dot for me.

I really need to get a frog and toad tattoo.

Conserve your A/C usage this summer, though.
