I'm rather fond of EMS pants. The women's versions are cut right and have pockets galore.

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

You mean the generation that grew up knowing civilization could literally end on the way home from school any day, and everyone wondered how they raised a generation of nihilists?

Years of reading dystopian scifi made us all expect an evil genius behind it all, but this bunch is firmly crowded on the left end of the bell curve.

The retinas are where the lab they made you in printed the copyright notice. The blinking is meant to prevent your discovery.

Agreed. It’s disappointing to see people regurgitating schoolyard insults like they were MAGAs with different targets.

It’s not how they look, it’s what they do.

Things that damage conservative man's masculinity:

Using a straw, lunchboxes, anything not beer or whiskey, sunscreen, ChapStick, emojis, anything mental health, cats, style, and reusable shopping bags.

But a trans girl can't lose hers despite any degree of hormones and surgery. Huh! 🤔

Oh, those never went away if you're into road cycling and strive to look as dorky as all your friends.

Dorky wraparound cycling sunglasses, of which I own two pair that look nearly identical to this fine example.

You opened your own Spirit Halloween franchise?

I guarantee I could get at least two of my friends to come with me to shop there when I told them whose store it is.

We'd probably be obnoxious, but we'd spend money!

We only did PvE, but I had the best ears of anyone. So it was often us crouching in the forest with me saying, "Shh! Shh! ... I hear Russian voices..." just before things went completely pear-shaped.

It was a lot of fun. 😂

What's the point in buying an expensive ergonomic chair for the home office if it's not compatible with dance?

And "squirmy pants" just sounds alarming, no matter what it is. Speaking of... (explanation in alt text)

In-game jacket patch I made for my online ARMA squad from years ago. The Latin reads, "In those shadows hidden and numberless legs move". We were not 100% serious mil-simmers...

One can buy latex versions of that exact suit, custom fit and ridiculously expensive, but they are very stretchy. Of course, if one sweats at all in it, the feeties (like pajamas!) fill up with your sweat.

(I've known several guys who would pay a girl money for that)

I am firmly in the ”inattentive type” category, and I have a strong preference for complex and layered compositions that inspire chair dancing. 90% of what I listen to while working is also instrumental, which works really well when reading/coding/otherWordStuff.

Now you know why the Evangelion kids were either permanently disassociated, in an endless anxiety attack, or super bitchy.

Not exactly! It's what GPT-5's image generation thinks I look like after I fed it a bunch of pics of me so I could make images like that. Or like this! As 14-year-old Asuka from Evangelion - the face does look a LOT like I did at 14, but I was much ganglier. Funny pic though.

A plausible simulation of Risa as Asuka in 8th grade or so.

This also describes debugging code.

Which is also just another language with very exacting syntax.

Yeah, so is mine, and I only ever saw them on the second floor, so I figured they were finding a gap in the window screens. They may have been paratrooper ants coming down out of the trees out back, like my best friend tells me giant cockroaches do in Texas. 😬

Oh, I had stray ants come inside in the early summer. I waged chemical warfare on them and didn't see any again after about a month.
