OceanSoap,

Water. Also, sparlking flavored water. Wish I was drinking soda.

OceanSoap,

Went back to school in my mid-30s, just for my AA. But it got my foot in the door to a great field and now the upwards momentum is almost limitless.

I’m not really looking to be some big shot, as I prefer work balanced, but I love that I’m not stuck where I was before.

To be fair, our heat goes to conserve our inner organs. We may lose our hands first if we’re stranded in a blizzard, but we’ll survive the men, and hands are replaceable.

Sorry, I’m super tech/software illiterate, can someone explain how to transfer what I had on tachiyomi over tonthis new app?

OceanSoap,

I would have refused to participate in that Foosball tournament that a coworker begged me to be in because he needed an even number for teams.

A disaster, seriously.

Well, I flew back from the holiday break at my mom’s house. It was stressful and not relaxing because she’s getting up there in age and there was a lot of stuff I needed to do with her.

Anyway, a few things happened with getting home that made the trip longer. Had to check in my carry-on at the gate because no room, so I had to wait for my bag to come through on carousel. Then, I had to walk 20 minutes to where my car was parked, because I took the cheap park-and-walk option like a chump. Finally got to my car, but by the time it was evening traffic, so it took me 45 minutes to get home.

I pull into the garage and am getting my bags out of the trunk, when my neighbor comes up with a cheery “hi!”. Then she rails into me about how much she hates my dog barking, and that it’s been 2 years of my dog barking, and I’m super inconsiderate because I don’t bring him in after he barks twice, like she does with hers, and all the neighbors think the same. Also, she rents another house close by with tenants who work night shift and go to sleep at 2am, so my dog barking at 9am is also inconsiderate.

I was so fucking tired. This dumbass lady… I hadn’t even been living here for two years. Her dog barks a ton, my dog sometimes replies to her dog barking. My dog barks but not for hours on end, just a normal amout before I get him in, which is a fucking miracle in itself because he’s a great pyrenees. I’ve spoken to the neighbors, none of them think my dog barks too much, and how tf am I supposed to know you rent to night dwellers?? Tell them to get a fucking noise machine and put it on blast while they sleep, it’s fucking 9am, there’s a shit ton of noise everywhere. They’re replacing the roof two houses down and start at 6, the day time is fucking loud. Also, lady, I haven’t been home for a week. DO YOU SEE THE SUITCASE IVE PULLED OUT OF THE CAR??

What I said though is “thanks for letting me know, have a good day.”

OceanSoap,

Literally my life as a child. my grandma was a hardcore Democrat and my father a Republican. Every year, every holiday, they would get into it until my grandma would start screaming at him.

My guess is it’s because potential matches ask.

As a woman, I don’t find it weird, but I do find it unfortunate. It’s an easy, quick way to get a better understanding on if you’re who you say you are. Sure, it can be faked, but… that’s more rare, and mostly easily sussed out.

I like seeing Instagram personally. Not to follow, just as a good check. But if you don’t want insta, I’d suggest pixelfed. It’s not a part of meta and it functions as an instagram.

Being diagnosed with extreme MTHFR, getting on a high dose of methylfolate and the correct meds.

Went from having daily, very heavy brain fog to zero. Thought for years I was just lazy and stupid. Doing simple things left me more mentally exhausted than others, and I just thought everyone felt like I did, but were better at pushing through it.

Turns out, not lazy or stupid at all.

Went back to school, got my AA and into a field desperate to hire. Doubled my salary.

OceanSoap,

Yes. In today’s world, everyone is beautiful no matter what is what you’re supposed to say.

Not that being mean for being means she is good, but the directors made a good call, I think.

OceanSoap,

I’ll be that person and say I simp for sync. If you’re hardcore FOSS though, you probably won’t like it.

OceanSoap,

Writing fiction.

OceanSoap,

It’s just as bad as reddit, just way less people in general.

OceanSoap,

Don’t you dare consider the nuance of any topic, political or otherwise.

OceanSoap,

I’m waiting in the longest line right now and this made me laugh. Thanks.

OceanSoap,

I’m a designer, which is a well-known profession, but I design substations, which almost no one I’ve run into has heard of.

Substations are like giant jungle-gyms for electricity. They’re a grouping of electric structures that transfer high-voltage electricity to low-voltage, or low voltage to high voltage. They’re a major part of our electricity distribution system. You drive by at least one every day, most likely.

I got into it by chance. Right place, right time. I went back to school and got my AS in drafting for industrial design and manufacturing. I applied to this job on accident, thinking it was for manufacturing, then when I was offered an interview, accepted it despite the mixup. Why not? They offered about double what other jobs were for a drafter, so I took it.

8 months into the job, a designer position opened up, so I interviewed for that and got the promption!

Door is still wide open, despite the general idea that drafters are becoming less of a demand. Based on my experience, they’re sorely needed, especially for civil jobs. Also I get paid higher than a friend of mine who got her masters in interior architecture (also a drafting/design gig), with just my AS. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Totally worth it.

OceanSoap,

Lol. What are you watching?

OceanSoap,

Thank you, I feel much better now.

OceanSoap,

Having a fever I can deal with, but I will immediately take some meds to not have a headache. Unfortunately, usually a fever comes with a headache.:(

OceanSoap,

“of” in place of “have” certainly had to come from people mishearing/misunderstanding “ve.” There’s no other explanation.

The accident one is funny. I had to really think about when I’d use “on”, and it’s when I say something like: “he did it on accident.” Which is wrong when I think about it, but I know I’ve said this countless times. I can only guess it grew from “an accident” like “it was an accident.”

Even though "on"and “by” are the same length, “by” sounds like it takes too much effort to say. How weird.

OceanSoap,

Sorry, what’s the long pig? Other humans?

OceanSoap,

Uh. Yeah, but you have to drink like 12 cups of tea to get to one cup of similar caffeine in coffee.

So, it’s actually cheaper to make coffee at home.

OceanSoap,

I’m in Phoenix. It was 112°f here today. It’s hot as balls.

However, I’m immensely more comfortable in this heat than I was when visiting Germany last summer when it was in the high 70’s. The difference is the humidity. I was constantly sweating, soaking everything while I was over there. Here? I get a little sweaty at 100°, sometimes. Our power infrastructure is pretty solid, so lots of air conditioner.

OceanSoap,

It blew my mind when I learned that we’re in a relatively dark, empty part of space compared to what’s out there. It really put into perspective for me how difficult space travel will be for us as we continue to advance.

OceanSoap,

Don’t, rabbit necropsies are the worst smelling thing you’ll ever encounter.
