i should be able to have a big fluffy tail
anyone that wants one should be able to have one too

and it should be removable for when you have to do things inconvenient for big tail havers

i just think it'd be really nice to curl up in a big fluffy tail and to be able to pet it for comfort

@ww ah, yeah, i kinda overlooked those
was sort of thinking from the transgender part of it, which, until relatively recently i had thought assigned gender was a similar sort of deal, almost immutable
or like, only mutable with considerable effort
and like, it's not effortless, but even in a place as currently hostile to it as the states, it certainly feels like it's a lot less than immigration
and nationality, in theory, should be easily mutable

it's all kinda honestly a mess, stupid capitalism :(
and yeah, that's a b r o a d thing to blame it all on, but it kinda feels like a lot of problems in today's world can boil down to it..

@Paradox i suppose that nuance, those social expectations, the tact
that's sort of what i was getting at with the "working to change yourself for the better"

really it's the "make" part of the phrase that bothers me so
it kinda implies forcing another into something
which, i feel, especially in the context of long term relationships (be it friends, partners or even coworkers) really isn't something to be doing..

it's honestly quite hard to put myself back in the headspace i was in while writing that out, as i was doing my best to first pass write without thinking about it too hard....
really more about the vibes of it, than the words themselves..

@dcim this vibes super hard
it's not pretty, comfortable, or somewhere i'd want to be for long
but there's an allure here, it's somewhere to explore
there's an adventure awaiting, something afoot
the start of something awesome

would you take my hand and go on this journey with me
see where it takes us?

i also feel that there's too much pressure put on folks from a very young age, socially speaking
to find their partners

there's nothing wrong with giving it time
we, as a society have progressed past that need
we don't need to reproduce as fast as possible anymore or die out

we should instead be seeking happiness i think
if that includes making a family, offspring, awesome!
if not, still awesome!

but happiness should be the ultimate goal in forming relationships, bonds of this nature

a phrase i've been thinking about lately: "how do i make them like me"
when you do a quick search of it, there's all these guides, all these steps that folks have put out there
how to manipulate
i feel that all of them are wrong, at the lowest level
manipulating someone into liking you
basing a relationship around that
it likely leads to a relationship that's strained at best, more likely toxic or even abusive
just leads to both parties being hurt

it might sound corny, cliche, overused, but being yourself really is the best route

and.. if they don't like you, that's ok
just keep being yourself, putting it all on display, diving into your interests
working to change yourself for the better
and given time, persistence
you'll find your community, those that do like you

and perhaps, with a bit of luck
you'll find it, that relationship that's closer, stronger, more open
than that manipulated relationship ever could have been

it's apparently deciding to be weatherful outside
if it wasn't for the fact that it's including wind, i think i'd like to bundle up and see what it's about

so many weather types to enjoy, but i'm tired of the wind being so often included

@wyatt i think that predates the sticker thing by quite a bit :p
back then, we got
manuals, big thick delicious manuals

i miss physical manuals
and even though i never got to experience them, i miss programming guides coming with computers

susadmining @ww @Paradox i admit, i barely understood the error when it came up, for what it's worth, this is what i was running into: github.com/nodejs/node/issues/62012
and i just applied the suggested fix to avoid too much downtime...

so, less of a deprecation and more of a bug, which backdating did fix
at the end of the day, i think i just wanted to be frustrated at computers and this was a target
i really {hate,love} the damn things
