The thing about historians saying that people were friends and not lovers is to avoid coming to conclusions without necessary evidence. Now, I'm sure there is a degree of homophobia, but historians aren't from those cultures, so they can't say for certain if a behavior was actually evident of homosexuality or if it is simply the lens of modern culture.

I have a funny story about this. In 1685, James II, a Catholic, came to the throne in England. The people, who were very protestant, let this happen with minimal rebellion because everyone thought he was gay. But in the 1600's they didn't really have a word for homosexuality, so the only thing that is clear from historical records is they were very sure he wasn't going to have a kid during his reign (he already had a daughter). So my history professor professor explained it as they all thought he was nudge nudge you know. But when he did end up having a son, all hell broke loose and the people of England basically invited William of Orange to invade.

Without looking into the justification, it seems perfectly reasonable tbh. Information theory is huge in physics, to the point that there are arguments that the bit is the fundamental unit of energy.

Yeah, of course it sunk. That's what submarines do.

I'm really gonna shave my head this time. Thinking about going full SHARP, aesthetically.

They do, still not working right.

Signal doesn't send messages any more for some reason. It takes a long time, or I have to send another message to get the first to send. I want to stop using it. I don't want to use telegram though, is there another secure messaging app I can use?

I have been kicking around a campaign idea where the BBEG is an evil wizard that has sucked all the evil out of the world to use for himself, so anything evil is instantly vaporized. Of course, the Wizard is evil and controlling, but it also upsets the natural order, so he must be stopped. Goblins are aligned neutral evil (As they often are) but along the way, the adventurers find a village of goblins who have learned to be good, but are under constant temptation do to bad things. So as the adventurers walk around the town, if they don't stop a goblin from biting them or pick pocketing them, POOF, goblin gone.

Of course this leads to a meditation on good and evil, and what that really means. Also all of the goblins are named after military contractors.

Hmm, what's his kenjutsu level? Anything below second kyu and he should still be using a wooden bokken.

I had made my partner late to work because I was rushing to get these cookies done.

They're pretty good on most stigmas and things, but they aren't so good on Bipolar. Especially because they work with someone who I guess had to be hospitalized because she punched someone during a manic episode.

I appreciate it, thank you.

I appreciate this. I get my labs done very often (upside of MS?) so I can safely rule out thyroid issues on my own. I didn't want to go into my own behavior for opsec, but there are certainly behaviors that line up with manic and depressive episodes, along with some history of mood disorders in my family, though like you said I'm aware there are other explanations.

Thanks for your kind words Care-Comrade

 

A few days ago, my partner told one of their coworkers about me making cookies at night, and the coworker immediately asked if I was manic. I decided to look into it and while I don't get highly manic or depressed, my behavior does match the symptoms pretty well. On top of that, about half of people with MS have a mood disorder.

I guess I don't want my partner to think of me as a normal person with a layer of personality on top due to BPD. And I really don't want them to be scared of my hurting them due to stereotypes about it. But there is a really good chance I have it (I will seek a diagnosis) and they have a right to know.

Edit: I sort of soft launched it by asking if they would think of me different or be scared of me if I had bipolar disorder, and they just straight up said yes, at least for a while. I'm hoping that at worst it's Cyclothymia.

And then Mount Vesuvius fucking explodes

Edit: I meant Roman, I wrote this late at night.

 
 

The joke I was trying to make is that this was the first interview since he dropped out and was now going through an emo phase

Just looking for some to add to my aura, and strongly malevolent in nature. Something to start a conversation, like if there's a awkward silence I can just go, "Hey, do you want to stare deeply into the talisman?" A necklace would work, but a fist sized stone inscribed with nefarious glyphs is more what I'm looking for. In fact, my preferred talisman will have a wholly good counterpart that is the key to putting an end to my wicked power.

If you see something like that, like, on Amazon or Etsy, let me know.

Hello,

I've had a bad few weeks. Got kicked out of my apartment, can't find a job, consumed true crime content for some ungodly reason, and obviously the state of the world is depressing as hell. If you could help me find some optimism to get me through the unfortunate situation I've found myself in, I could really use it right now.
