Big fan of a slow disapproving head shake and a thumbs down. Especially in road rage situations (or any time I see a Cybertruck).

I empathize with this even as a highly computer literate person who works in tech. I turn 40 this year, and when I’m off the clock, I need to read books, touch grass, and live my life as if I don’t know how computers work.

Maybe a capybara. Here’s me dying when I met some.

I have my phone browser defaulted to reader mode, and it really blows my mind how bad this stuff has gotten whenever I toggle it off. Most sites are straight up unreadable.

Losers.

I woke up this morning barely able to walk on my left foot. No idea what happened to it, was fine yesterday.

How about book clubs? I’m in a couple, and my neighborhood has monthly silent book clubs (bookended with socializing time). Both an opportunity to socialize during meetups, and a great way to occupy your time in between.

When I worked for a large company, they flew our software development team from Seattle to their financial HQ to kick off a project rebuilding their internal expensing software. We showed up in the usual worn band t-shirts/ripped jeans, most of us tatted up. The receptionist called security on our lead developer because she thought he was a homeless person who got into the building.

Obviously a privileged position, but I wish I were.

Man, I have my diabetes under control now (6.0 A1C) but never stopped peeing all the time. I can’t remember the last night of sleep I got with less than a few bathroom visits. Didn’t help I had to get on a diuretic for my blood pressure.

Same. I turn 40 next year, and remember my dad at that age, but still feel like a kid.

I’m thankful I’m dog sitting tomorrow so I have an excuse to keep my family time to a minimum.

I absolutely sing to my deaf cat.

I do care about people, but I have to admit the only time I cry is when their pets die.

Joke’s on you, I don’t know how old I am.

Unscented soap/deodorant and a splash of my favorite cologne.

I was going to simply reply “audio.” I watch them all on mute at this point.

I’m fairly confident the random branches I spin off to try out a dumb idea are not equal to main.

What OS? Totally fine over here.

Likely not. I’m a cis straight man who tends to be into women who aren’t into men, so while particularly feminine women aren’t my thing, the parts matter to me in terms of dating/having sex. Fully post-op and passing would certainly consider, but I know that’s not always the goal for trans folks.
