I super don't want someone to help me imagine those scenarios, brain conjuring them up endlessly against my wishes already XD

I know Joy, I know what she's like in relationships, I've met her partners-- those relationships are NOT going anywhere. She is VERY VERY good at relationships! She is a devoted and committed partner and those are explicitly Maximum Commitment Life Partnerships. Sure, unexpected unlikely things can always happen but just. Thinking that way lies madness.

it fucking sucks

Yeah, it really sucks. And then of course part of my brain-- because we both WANT to date each other, and get a lot out of it-- is going haywire with "well maybe some of the circumstances will change one day." I mean they theoretically COULD, but. I worry I'm gonna holding a candle for her, going "who knows, maybe something'll change" forever if I let myself.

thank you. I am too :(

thanmnk u ;-;

<3

don't count your elds before they ring

yeah I think I could probably get preeeetty far if I put the time into it (tho I genuinely think the hardest stuff is just fundamentally beyond my skill level/reaction time), but I thought about it and decided that I just didn't have it in me to spend that kinda time on it! and gosh the steel soul stuff, if I got pretty far and failed I think I'd just give up, I don't have the determination, the chutzpah

yeah I think this is the correct way to be about it. I was briefly more in the mindset of "maybe silksong come out soon?" but I have since learned better

still check the team cherry site every month or three tho

holy shit. I had no idea your power. I love hollow knight and am very average at it, this is something else

I have a french press and I like it but I always kinda wished I'd gotten a moka pot instead (but I have never used one so idk if I would actually have liked it better) so that's a data point for ya

new kind of instrument

exactly. exactly. you get it.

I love knowing this information

the internet is still worth saving as long as we have crouton.net

good luck dog!!!!

i feel u about february also, to be clear i just think it's fun to pick some months as being specific days of the week

October... the Thursday of the year. Slutty but intellectual

I love this

almost didn't post this but then remembered just post

my girlfriend historically has been a huge fan of homestuck and trolls me by slipping homestuck reference into casual conversations, which usually go over my head but I can Tell She's Doing It sometimes cause she's so fuckin SMUG about it. and also I like listening to her talk about things she likes so I am gradually learning more about homestuck as a side effect of this relationship, when previously I had considered my utter ignorance re: homestuck to be a great source of my power. the things I do for love.

I feel like there's something to be said for covering a lot of vowels, I was finding adieu pretty nice

this is so funny oh my god

cool this is good to know, thanks

would you broadly recommend switching from windows 10 to windows 11? removing some of the cruft seems nice, and I just sort of assume that updates have allowed 10 to be as maximally predatory as it can be (so I assume 11 probably isn't worse in that regard?)

really wish I'd stuck with 7 forever tbh
