Facebook Marketplace killed Craigslist in my area… Very frustrating.

I do it through my pants like a civilized person.

Sooo… Early Myspace?

Oh snap, there it is! Cute. :)

I struggled in school despite being smart. I was tested but they said I didn’t have it.

Then as an adult, I re-tested. They updated the things they look for and are more aware of how people can try to mask and deal with their symptoms, which in the past made it difficult to diagnose. I was diagnosed then.

Disgusting. Who jacks off through their shirt?

Feed me. No open box! Just feed.

Sounds like you got the right idea on how to be supportive. You’re a good friend to her.

There could be so many things.

Maybe your friend finds women attractive but doesn’t really want to internalize it, but claims the label. I did that when I was young… I was told by many religious adults that I was confused. So I kind of carried that with me until I found my own way… Which includes me saying that vulvas were not attractive. (I most definitely do not think that.)

Maybe she doesn’t actually like men at all and is trying to figure out which ones are attractive to her. (I did this when I was young. I tried not to be a lesbian so hard.)

Or she has a certain type of women she likes. She could like em butch but she is mostly around femme women.

Maybe she doesn’t have the vocabulary to describe her attraction to women if she is.

Or maybe she has other reasons why she claims bisexuality, like she likes men and NB people.

Maybe she’s struggling with her gender identity too, and these thoughts are bleeding into her feelings about her sexuality.

Or she is confused about labels. Or she’s just experimenting with labels to see what fits.

It’s really hard to guess, and all of the above is wild speculation. (Most would be rude to accuse her of or ask her about… Let her lead any of those conversations if it comes up.) At this point, it’s best to accept what she labels herself. Discovering is hard (and she sounds like she is in the thick of it) and gatekeeping makes it harder.

In my experience, it’s fortunately not too common. I disliked potpourri (headaches…) but the essential oil diffusers are so much worse.

I feel like people have scented things for as long as I can remember, but maybe how we’re doing it has changed.

I personally like it when my home smells like “nothing,” even when I come back to it after being gone a while. Smelling changes in humidity, level of dust, or anything else is pretty great.

Sheets with a deep enough pocket made this task so much easier.

Funky, I love it!

It would be kind of neat if you had a headpiece that made your head look like a tree topper, like a star.

My friends help me with stuff that I need help with, too. I’m the tech person and the person to help with organization. They’re the people with good backs!

Now if I do work for hours on something they compensate me more but we’re pretty chill.

Boundaries are important!

One of the few things I felt like an LLM was good for.

I always felt that editing was far easier than coming up from scratch, even when my final result is completely different from the LLM’s output.

And nuggets really lend themselves well to have plant based alternatives! Yum.

A flowy or poofy, rather than fitted, skirt can make your silhouette more ample in that area. Rock whatever you want of course, but being aware of possibilities is nice.

But then where will I put my comic book and chocolate milk?

They broke into his house, and he got a gun out. Which is one of the few times it is reasonable to brandish a weapon… And they use that as justification to kill him. Over a weed eater.

The police don’t give a shit if someone steals your catalytic converter, your whole car, or all of your tools. But I guess if you’re a judge they will kill for your weed eater.

If I’m taking a T break, I still need to manage my pain before bed. So I try to do some stretches to keep my muscles loose. It works sort of. I use a heating pad if the pain is too much.

I also try to make sure my bedding is just right. It needs to be clean and the right weight for the temperature. My pajamas need to be the right amount of comfy as well.

Lastly, I need to make sure the light level is good. Curtains drawn, charging lights covered, phone not polluting with light, HEPA filter light out.

T makes it easier to sleep even when something is off. Without it, I need to address those things.
