Good tip, thanks dad.

I know this rationally and I don’t hold others to this standard but damn if my inner anxiety gremlin doesn’t constantly scream the opposite is true.

I don’t know if I ever thought I’d die young or something but I certainly didn’t expect to make it this far nor really do I know what I’m doing. I never thought about being an adult. It never occurred to me that it was going to happen. My parents never prepared me to be an adult so I didn’t and don’t know what to expect.

Good side effect is that I’m reasonably true to my weird-ass self which is rather freeing.

I never would have come out to my parents. They would not have handled it well. Our kids have come out to us, and we’ve reassured them that it doesn’t matter. We had kids to love them and raise awesome adults, no matter what.

My advice is to tell them that this takes time for you to adjust. Old habits are hard to break. One kid has been on HRT for over a year and eeeeeeeevery once in a while I’ll call them their birth gender. Kids don’t understand that we view them as a sum of all their life. They only view themselves in that instant. No matter that my trans kid is Gender A now, I still have sooooo many memories and pictures of them as Gender B, and I love that part of them, still. I love both periods of my kiddo’s life.

Great. Another way to spend super credits I don’t have.

Resting. I am, as bilbo said, like butter spread over too much bread.

You probably do have those issues. I did and do too. Being courageous is doing it anyway. My anxiety brain is very loud sometimes. It takes a lot of practice and energy and some meds but I do stuff anyway. I have to be okay with screwing up. I used to be a perfectionist and still have to fight that. Just do stuff and deal with the consequences. 99% of things can be retried.

I have mild dyslexia or something. For example, I’ll reverse words in sentences and won’t even realize I’ve done it until my kids start laughing. When reading or listening, sometimes I’ll take in the information but it’s all garbled and my brain just ejects it. I had to adapt and just catch those moments and reread or ask for clarification. I have a post grad degree, so it made life harder but didn’t stop me.

Lemme guess, the inset map is Ai slop.

People generally buy things a certain way or place for 3 reasons - cost, quality or convenience. Door Dash already has tons of stuff in their app.

IMO, people are used to it. It’s very convenient.

This tour of the fritos factory calls the dough masa, which implies they’re nixtamalized, not just cornmeal. https://youtu.be/xJDKrMgBhUg?t=824

Not exactly. Tortilla chips are dried before frying. Fritos are not.

Just cornmeal? I thought fritos would be masa. Corn meal doesn’t make a good dough. You can’t make tortillas from it. You have to nixtamalize it

Makes corn meal pliable.

3d printing and fermentation. I’m fascinated by making my own variants of things.

Nothing. No time or energy right now. This season of life is poopy. I gave up all my hobbies. This one I miss the most.
