I was just on a Wikipedia page subsection and saw the enzyme name RuBisCo. I immediately thought “that’s the most common enzyme,” then immediately wondered who I thought I was with that piece of information. When I scrolled up to its initial mention, I found a purple link and confirmed that it is in fact the most common enzyme.

I guess I’d prefer to remember the fact than learning the fact, but it’s definitely disorienting

The other way around: “but obviously everyone wants to be a dude, look at Mulan!” And several people whom we would today understand to be trans men.

Many leftists started out as liberals, it makes sense they’d believe others could also change.

-signed, a vegan married to a butcher, so don’t listen to me lol (at least he’s a leftist)

A bus

That’s entirely understandable. It’s a small aspect of what you’re going through, but people with vaginas can pee standing up (and you’ve already learned how to control your stream and aim, so you’re ahead of the others).

*bajorans, but yes

They originally appeared like that so as to be immediately identifiable as Odos people, then just stuck with the forms solids had seen them in so as to be recognized- whenever they didn’t want to be recognized, they weren’t.

It depends on what the medication is. I used to take generic adderall for ~$30/month. When I switched to vyvanse, there was no generic and I had to pay ~$300/ month. I suspect vyvanse is cheaper now, but it’s been a few years since I lived in the US.

The real killer was that I had to meet with the prescriber and get a drug test every month, which cost an extra ~$200/every prescription. Not every doctor requires that, but I went to a budget clinic and IME, those tend to be more restrictive (because fuck the poor)

“AI agents can research individuals, generate personalized narratives, and publish them online at scale,” Shambaugh wrote. “Even if the content is inaccurate or exaggerated, it can become part of a persistent public record.”
– Ars Technica, misquoting me in “After a routine code rejection, an AI agent published a hit piece on someone by name“

I’m so sorry you went through this. I have never heard of a phalloplasty following a vaginoplasty, but you should look at intersex people who were AFAB and transitioned into men. Their surgeries might be similar, though there’s probably a difference due to the disparity in time spans between the surgeries and the difference in starting genitalia.

Braveheart era Mel Gibson is the poster boy for not judging a book by its cover. He has such kind, misleading eyes.

I totally felt sympathy (maybe pity?) for her when she realized what was going on though. For a moment.

Absolutely insane behavior. I don’t understand how people are so confused about the concept of bisexuality

I might wish for a net worth of a couple hundred thousand, which would definitely feel poor to Rowling

Having a 9-5 is such a trap for me. I excel as a waiter or barista, where I can manage lots of high priority/low importance tasks (I’ve been in customer service too long to really consider anything that happens in a cafe important, unless something’s on fire. The other important thing would be serving someone unsafe food, but I don’t fuck around with food safety), but just can’t make myself do low priority/high importance tasks with any regularity. I used to have a job where I was legally required to do things within 30/60/90 days and I regularly pulled all nighters to make up for weeks of inaction.

I would really like to earn more money than customer service yields, but it’s hard to find something that fits. I’ve started teaching, which is new and therefore not a problem, but I can already tell that I’ll let corrections go longer than I should once the shine of teaching wears off

What?

Edit: I can’t tell if you’re being bigoted because I’m an immigrant or if you just hate my OTP Garashir

I mean, Leeta’s very into Rom.

Diminishing returns like crazy though

This reminded me to call my bank, thank you

I’ve got good fine motor control, which means that I can sew, knit, roll a joint, braid hair, make a pastry, seal a dumpling, fold origami, draw, sculpt, paint nails, pick a lock, and most other fine dexterity tasks, excluding musical instruments.

This sounds like bragging, but I didn’t do anything to earn the ability to do this, I literally just do it and it works. I’m not proud of it (though I’m occasionally proud of the things I can craft) and I don’t think anyone else is unskilled because it doesn’t work when they do it.

That’s fair, I can’t really tell what they are
