    You cant call yourself asexual unless you are literally free of all sexual desire


    Being celibate and being fine with it is also perfectly fine too even if the vast majority of people will try and tell you you shouldn't be

    @quid thanks for getting me back into FTL. I think I've already lost 100 crewmembers since I started playing again on friday.

    Jared Leto's character in Dallas Buyer's Club was never meant to be trans in the first place. Even the director refers to the character as a man. Publicity led to all the bits about him being trans, and it really rubbed me the wrong way as a result.

    By the way, I worked for a subcontractor of Shell and holy fuck the safety regulations of gas companies are insane to the max. There's literally nothing you're allowed to do without first passing a test on a safety course about it. We even had instructions for how to walk up and down stairs.

    I have done stuff.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the trick is setting a fire that'll keep burning for a long time, right above the gasoline tanks, and sabotage the safety valves

    temperature and pressure builds until it explodes, and then the quickly expanding gas vapor cloud that bursts out mixes with oxygen in the air and you'll get a perfect fuel air bomb if you're lucky, the dispersal being very very good

    so that you get detonation instead of deflagration

    and then there's suddenly a very large parking lot where there once was a shitty workplace and a church and a school and a bunch of homes

    got a lot done at the house. curtains are all up. rooms have all been measured. i think we're pretty much ready to get the furniture and start the actual move in process. the dollar amounts of the furniture are unfortunately still under discussion. if only I made like, $20k more. Or that my savings hadn't been mauled even prior to buying a house. sigh, money problems.

    petroleum companies go a little nuts about it

    for offshore it is prudent with a very holistic safety thinking and then it gets transferred to everything in the company, because [corporate logic, not to be confused with logic]

    There's no clear effort in the film to delineate how Rayon identifies, even by the character his/herself. It's frustrating and disappointing.

    Likewise, Rayon's drug addiction and reckless behavior is played much more as a symptoms of her identity instead of results of the hardships of dysphoria. Like I said, she's never given anything more to be than a metric for Woodruff to show growth against. It's a film where we praise the insulting "tolerance" of the ally while shitting all over actual queer person.

    Its a tricky thing. Asexuals don't necessarily want to be alone they just don't want sex. Celabacy is more when you decide consciously relationships aren't for you.

    Celebacy is fine as long as its your own choice and you're not doing it for the wrong reasons. (Low self esteem ect)

    But it does kind of annoy me that people totally discount the idea that someone can honestly consider the whole concept and decide against having sexual relationships. Its sad that relationship s have to be the meaning of life.

    anyway it's not like spinsters aren't an accepted role - fun fact: apart from just plain "old virgin/maiden", "peppermø" is the best term here for unmarried women over 30 (peppersvenn is the male equivalent, and the source, referring to travelling unmarried pepper salesmen)

    giving unmarried people a pepper grinder for their 30th is a common thing

    So proud of myself. Sticking to my budget, and as a result when I went out I didn't buy any toys and I bought really cheap food to tide me over for today!

    ... Of course I bought storage/moving boxes, for blah on that.

    Also, they just posted the AGDQ 2014 video for Tri-hex's insane Yoshi's Island 2 run. And I mean truly insane, including 20 minutes of standing out in the cold due to a fire alarm, and recovering from that like a boss.

    I have loaded & unloaded dishwasher, done laundry, cleaned couches, vacuumed, taken out recycling, done a bunch of bugfixing on the website I'm working on, and won two games of Hearthstone.

    oh no cool it didn't really literally refer to people walking around with pepper bags

    it was used for traders - peppersack was a common nickname for hanseatic traders

    and came to mean unmarried men because of all the junior hanseatic traders who had rules against fraternizing and didn't really have much of a chance at settling down early

    (svenn is a skilled worker under a master, so therefore peppersvenn = unmarried man older than many. Then in 1700s it got used for women too.)
