So just an absolute rage of hormones and oxytocin? Sounds miserable to me, but I’m ace-aro so what do I know?

You can get an oxytocin nasal spray, right now, to enhance your bonding if you so choose.

Aww I’m super glad to hear it improved your day, and you’ll be able to find it again in the future!

I get the same reaction to it, I think it’s the use of flat melancholic notes scattered throughout, such as in the refrain “I’d like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly”. For me anyway. I love that sort of upbeat but sorrowful sort of thing. It gives me intense frisson (aka aesthetic shiver, aka that chill down your spine when something hits just right).

The sound of silence covered by Pentatonix also gives me mad frisson every time I hear it. And for the same reason I think.

Someone just jelly of my amazing taste in nearly-20-year-old music, probably 😊

Pretty sure that line is a reference to this. One of my fave songs :)

Owl City - Fireflies

Higher here, by quite a bit.

This is really cool news!

I really hope they someday also figure out ways to gene therapy tinnitus away. Lizard genes for my sound hairs to make them regrow would be sweet.

I’ve tried really hard, and sampled many brands, but other than soy in lattes sometimes, I can’t stand plant based milk in my coffee. Some of it is fine stuff for other uses, or even just drinking, but it just doesn’t come close to the flavor I like as part of my wake up routine. And if my coffee isn’t good it sours my whole day, just a bit.

I’d love to have something that tastes like milk and feels like milk and does the job of milk, but is vegan.

Speaking of succubi, I really liked how that was handled in the book “if I pay thee not in gold”, which isn’t the best pro-feminist work, despite being actually written by a woman and centering around a matriarchal society, or even book, by far, but does include the whole idea that

I’m ace/aro so the sexy nature is lost on me but the story itself is good. tho… very superficial… they could have done so much more with the way that universe works; it’s genuinely a fascinating concept that I’d love to see explored in more depth.

Still it’s not a long read and worth the effort :)

I’m so much more into the visible hand puppetry. I find that fascinating.

The song is good, but the video style choices are very interesting :)

Unlike in real life, this bee is going home to accolades.

Thanks!

I didn’t go for a walk, but I did get my small flock of chickens outside in a run for my mental health. I got sunburn pretty badly for the effort, too, and it took me well over a week to get the whole thing built. But they were getting annoying inside. Every time I passed the bird room they’d get excited and start launching themselves at the side of their tent. It really set the quail off.

I’m just waiting for someone to complain. I have a license, one of 10 in my town of 15,000. I shouldn’t qualify because of how far into town I am, but I do because I have a unique property and one neighbor who consented (the rest don’t matter, the one is the only within 100ft of the coop). This is all above board, but some people tried keeping geese several years back and had to rehome them because of complaints, so I’m just waiting…

I magneted my license to my front door so hopefully any complaints just sort of go away without my intervention, even if they don’t check city records… but I have one too many because my friend who got my chicks got one too many in case of deaths. I’m good with birds and have never had one die, including quail and conures, so now I just have an extra Buff Orpington.

I’m genuinely both surprised and excited that this ended up being two women.

Could someone with better search skills or knowledge of their discography link to their music for me? I’ve heard it’s good but I legitimately can’t find anything but news videos when I go looking (I don’t use any music handler platforms)

Welp.

I watched several videos in addition to those and feel both better and not, I do understand the simplified analogies in the linked stuff, and they are helpful, as were some of the related content.

I kinda sorta understand the technical stuff, sort of. I’m not in a tech field or anything…

I’m going to keep it there regardless of the negative hype because you never know when I’ll need others to do the same. Im not doing anything wrong so it’s whatever.

I’m up to 10 :)

Transmission fluid is the real “I have no idea what that means” thumbs up.

Because it should hopefully always be clear but it depends where…… and how warm…. And how clean the dipstick was….

(I recently had transmission issues and omfg there isn’t even a light on my car for low transmission fluid wtf??)

Idk why I was expecting anything other than what that comm was, but I’m pleased to have been wrong.

Also outside looking in:

From what I’ve heard the royals bring in a lot of tourism money… or used to anyway… idk about this -ahem- new fella…

I hate pickles and pickle juice. Always have, always will.

That said, whenever I have bad heartburn, I take a shot of straight pickle juice (the vinegar kind), and it goes away.

Depends how you make it. I use medium for my French press.
