Not what you’re asking for, but it’s the same core principle as irony poisoning, I think. And, I know that shit is real, because it’s happened to me. It was kind of a core life lesson to me to watch what I consume.

It sounds like you actively enjoy your current gender identity. Most people who go on to change theirs don’t actively enjoy what it used to be, at best they generally just don’t feel connected to it. This was the case for me; I never felt manly, or enjoyed anything about being male. It didn’t bother me, but I never really connected to it.
Ultimately, the only thing required for you to be trans is that you decide you want to be; there isn’t some magic checklist of signs or requirements that if you meet, you’re trans. If you think you might be happier in life with a fem gender identity, it’s up to you whether or not to act on it.
Isn’t what we call a marathon just the last short leg of his journey, and he ran like 100-150 miles?
Oh, you think you’re so tough, don’t you. Well, I cast PERMANENTLY ITCHY BUTTHOLE.

Which word got added, I wonder
I mean, on the bright side, only two more years until I can kill myself!
I do appreciate the poetry posting
Cool! It shows as positive 3 to me. Interesting!

Ngl I can’t even think of anything that only costs a dollar nowadays
That was a crossover promotion with archer, a show about essentially a giant dickwad james bond, voiced by the same guy who voices bob
I was a developer at Oracle. We got handed down sales goals. ??? It was a running joke in our org that oracle is a sales company and we just scramble to make what they’re selling. When I left half our org had been laid off or left. Only got two raises in the 5 years I was there. Not worth.
Well put. Her 4 is kind of sad in general. I do want to mention that gloom is INCREDIBLE on her, it feels like it was designed to be part of her kit to me. You can run pretty low efficiency and duration and it doesn’t matter because of her crazy shield economy, and she already runs high strength and good range.
I think ants alone could pretty much wipe out humanity tbh. If they targeted the food supply chain and power grid, I’m not sure how much we could really do about it.
There’s a bottle and can deposit system in some states! You pay an extra 5c per beverage and get 5c back by returning the empty container. Only in like 5 states, but it works well. They don’t get reused, just recycled, but I think that’s pretty much the only way plastic bottles get recycled here, as most recycling is extremely contaminated.
Sorry not disagreeing with you about beverage container material choices! I just like chiming in with more info because I really enjoyed those packaging science classes I took. If I could live my life over again I’d do that instead of software tbh. Glass containers being reused instead of recycled is the dream, imo, but in the current US if you replaced all plastic beverage containers with aluminum ones that would still be a massive win. Transportation energy costs should only improve, so as time goes on that will matter less and less in the equation, but you can also achieve denser packing easier with aluminum packaging than glass. Glass containers don’t take non-cylindrical shapes as easily, or rather, cylindrical containers are far easier, more reliable to produce, and in general a lot more durable. If you swapped from plastic bottles to hexagonal aluminum ones, where you can achieve near perfect packing efficiency, that would be amazing. Far more containers per load, a roughly equivalent weight per container, made from a material that’s ACTUALLY recyclable, and (this I don’t actually know but I believe to be true) more easily automatically sorted out from contaminated recycling, that also has a financial incentive built into it to be recycled? That would be really really really good. Ultimately glass is better, the reusability is REALLY nice and glass also recycles incredibly well, and isn’t harmful as a pollutant, and also doesn’t require a questionably toxic (I believe BPA is an endocrine disruptor, but this isn’t something I know for sure) plastic lining? Oooooo yeah. That’s where it is.
Also just a fun fact, blue glass is like incredibly contaminating color wise, it only takes a tiny bit of blue glass to color a load of clear glass it’s being added to blue! Not a problem with the material, just cool.
Another fun fact, ever wondered why bottles have the bumps running around the edge on the bottom? It’s because the containers warp subtly as they cool, and with a purely circular base, this would give you an ever so slight saddle shape and it wouldn’t sit stably. With the bumps, there’s always at least 3 points of contact, so it’s stable!
Aluminum also takes way less energy and is much cheaper to recycle than to produce new! I think roughly around 2/3rds of all aluminum ever produced is still in use because of that. Don’t remember the exact figure, just remember it from my material science electives from college. Aluminum beverage containers usually have BPA liners, which is far from ideal, but as a material in general, it’s pretty nice
Yeah here in the US no containers get reused as is, due to corporate lobbying from pre 1990. Aluminum also is less energy intensive to transport since containers weigh less! Both are infinitely preferable to plastic containers.
Yeah, I can still smell the lubricant we used in our high school machine shop. It was water based and we called it blue juice
Dean Kamen is so cool to me, because he’s pretty unknown but has had such a positive impact on the world, especially with his STEM outreach to school kids. I got to meet him once briefly after the FRC national championship in 2014, he was going somewhere but still stopped to talk to us briefly and I thanked him and he signed my team hat.
