Pixel 4, probably gonna be on this phone for a while.

Look Cthulhu demands sacrifice, but if you can’t swing pasta maybe try pipe cleaners? You might end up with crafthulhu tho.

Just say a regular prayer to the christian god but call him a shithead and see if he smites ya.

Any procedure to summon cthulhu is made up, so make one up. Or if it makes you feel better I’ll make one up:

Cook long pasta to aldente, then spread it all over the floor, then roll around it in while praising the noodly limbs of cthon, and asking the eldritch god to wrap you up and take you to the realm between dimensions. And I dunno, pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time to confuse yourself. Confusion and the unknown are the key when it comes to eldritch beings. Add spooky LED lights that shift from green to purple.

Magical room with free power and Internet… I’m making it into a server room!

I think a discord server can be a useful tool, but a proper doc for things is also important. Definitely sucks when I want to look something up or troubleshoot an issue and have to search through discord threads for words vaguely related to my issue and find half a conversation spaced between year old memes and 3 entirely separate issues.

The difference would be the phrasing and specifics. “Magically switch trans people to the assigned sex at birth that they desire to be?” Works for some. “Magically make trans people’s bodies align with their specific and nuanced gender identity” is less of an issue. The problem you run into with the first is some are not interested in surgeries or are non binary so a full surprise sex swap would not be what some trans people want.

I still think consent is important though, even if the way the magic works is basically “they get what they want”. As much as it is hard to imagine, there are also trans people who do not want to transition at all due to having family or friends who would cut them off (I think that’s a pretty awful and tragic situation to be in, but imagine the trans woman who magically changes to the shock and anger of her deeply religious family or SO, who then ostracize or reject her, or even react violently). You aren’t likely to be murdered for recovering from cancer, but in some places magically shifting assigned sex might come with some pretty awful, bigoted strings attached

My SO works fast food. Corporate never allocates enough hours so they’re perpetually understaffed, but the store manager has permission to call people in if needed. So there’s a lot of “your scheduled 10-4, but at 3:30 I’m gonna ask if you’ll stay to 6, or I’ll call you 2 hours before your shift to see if you can come in early”.

Its a lose lose, nobody gets the hours they want, manager can’t retain workers, people hate being called in or asked to stay late, and the schedule is always shorthanded and mostly a suggestion. Of course nobody wants to work in that shitty mess of cost cutting and begging employees to pick up the slack that the MBAs at corporate have caused.
