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

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.

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.

We are not related.

So, AI.

Project Hail Mary was my first thought when I read “audiobooks” and “sci-fi”. Not only is there an aspect to the story that lends itself particularly well to the audiobook format, but the narrator (Ray Porter) is so good I’ve sought out other books he’s narrated.

We’ve looked at how our teams work best, and the data is clear: when people work together in person more often, they thrive — they are more energized, empowered, and they deliver stronger results.

Getting older and finding anxiety meds that actually worked for me here. It’s vastly improved my social life, especially around asking people out. There’s literally no downside or reason to be nervous about it.

Not many. My phone is typically on Do not Disturb when I’m not working, and a custom focus mode I call Deep Work when I am working. The primary difference just being focus filters so I can use the same calendar/email app I like but not see anything work related outside regular work hours. I’ll check in on my notifications somewhat regularly, but basically nothing can actually ping me.

Check out the Rubin Observatory! I’ve been to a few astronomy talks recently that have discussed it, it’s incredible the amount of new discoveries it’s expected to make in the coming years.

Same. I feel better about my vasectomy each day.

In my experience they’re more horny while on their period. Some of the most fun times I’ve had.

Maybe not for everyone, but it’s pale blue dot for me.

+5 during work hours, -5 outside of them.

Read about 200 books.

I really need to get a frog and toad tattoo.

Conserve your A/C usage this summer, though.

Totally normal. Just don’t worry about it, get plenty of rest/fluids, and keep up those outdoor walks.
