That warm blue does look cozy, in that it looks like the color that your dad’s old too-short shorts were in the 70s.

I’m not trying to be a jerk here, but what’s an example of a warm blue? I can’t imagine it.

Sadly on brand.

As an example of the opposite, I recently got into a YouTube channel that does very involved videos about appliances (technology connections). It’s absolutely my bag, and I suspect that the audience is more neurodiverse than average.

I was super excited to see a video about fire alarms, but nearly didn’t watch it at all, because I did not want to hear one. I put it on mute with subtitles and the first thing the creator said was, “just so you know, I won’t be setting off any alarm sounds.” 🥰

I come from a deep blue state, but haven’t lived in the US in years and every time I get an absentee ballot, it’s too late to send it in. I still apply, but we’ll see if it comes in time

There is literally no way to reason these people out of the position they didn’t reason themselves into.

Regarding this, I recently saw the counterpoint of Santa. Most people never reason themselves into believing in Santa, but they do reason themselves out of it. Obviously there’s cognitive development that happens in between in the Santa case, but a lot of people form their core political beliefs pretty young, so that may be true of politics as well.

Sometimes it’s just luck. I smoke weed and refuse to sleep normally and I still get carded for energy drinks (16+) at 33

No kids though… I don’t know how anyone can look young with kids.

It’s the only one* I talk about in public.

There’s also an erotic squid/castle fic that’s absolutely hilarious

I just read the fanfic. Though I absolutely don’t talk about it in public because the stuff I like is basically all pornographic. I definitely know all the trivia, but I don’t support jk Rowling financially (anymore, I did purchase the original series as it came out, but I haven’t otherwise paid for anything Harry Potter).

I just like the world and the fanfic possibilities of Draco Malfoy.

It will, but the hard part’s getting everyone else to go along with it

Neoliberal hubris

So the two professions would be equally old.

If you don’t think to bring something with you, you have to go back and get it (for example)

Because of a mating display? That’s cold.

That’s not the issue…

I watch way more porn than any boyfriend I’ve ever had and more than my husband and have zero profit motive.

Therefore I will not elaborate.

I appreciate the inclusion, but I would probably be considered phobic, if it came up enough to impact my life more. I rejected a window cubicle because the view was stressful and I avoid glass elevators, but that’s really it. Planes are totally fine, though I try not to dwell on actually being very high in the air.

I’m so afraid of heights that my palms are sweating reading that, but that’s an objectively cool hobby

They can even talk back!
