Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
Ah, that sucks. It's frustrating when double standards come up - especially ones that're often societally driven, but even just in general. You should be willing to extend the same courtesy to others as you expect for yourself. Like, I 100% support her choice in not wanting to jump into anything, but... she should have been understanding that you may have wanted the same for yourself, not jumping into anything.
Just get skirts with built in shorts.
(I know that's the only reason that I wear my miniskirt. Because it comes with a nice discreet shorts component built in. I don't want to fall a victim of embarrassment on an abruptly windy day.)

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
I get it, she's worried about assault and I'm not so it feels like disinterest. There's also bound to be a decent number of guys who said they want to take it slow trying to get an opening, but it is very frustrating to be open about it and having the other person totally misunderstand.
Oh lordy, Portland. One time I applied for a job at the NAACP and went in a suit. I was interviewed by a man in sandals and a hoody and another interviewee told me I looked like a used car salesman. It's a very odd place.

On clothes: This is one of the reasons I want a Marvel Comics style symbiote.
As long as you don't run into intense fire or sounds loud enough to be harmful to humans, you don't have to worry about clothes anymore.
Just will the symbiote into the shape of whatever outfit you want without the time or hassle of having to get ready the hard way and without any needless discomfort.
(Also, they remove the need for pockets. Just store all the stuff you need in the symbiote.)I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
I mean, it's certainly a solution, and on windy days probably the most socially acceptable. Also probably what I'll end up doing next time I'm clothes shopping.
I feel like people need to be more open about this stuff, and stop thinking that women actively asking for intimacy as a taboo.
Like, I've only dated a handful of people, but whether we're going to do that yet is something that was talked about early on, just so there's no misunderstandings.
... anybody else ever had that fantasy where humans being intersex and nonbinary was common and accepted? Or is this just me being weird?

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
Yeah, that's what I was meaning about societal expectations. It sucks in all directions. We shouldn't have to worry about people taking advantage of us, or forcing onto us. But people should realize that men (and others) can have the same things happen to them, too! And just the expectations of what each box of people wants is supremely generalized. It's super frustrating, even from someone who's never really managed to properly step foot into the dating world.

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
Oh yeah. That sounds familiar. What I've found out about myself is that I have a poor understanding of why I keep people at arm's length. It might be out of respect for boundaries that I know are present, but I can't see. It might be because I don't understand how to be close with people.
Not to dive too deep into Northwest stereotypes, but flannel shirts and jeans work well for most social encounters. At least in my experience. Though maybe not job interviews.
No, I've had that fantasy too.

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
It's rough for sure. I think there is some movement in the right direction, but I'm fairly certain I will age into senile bachelorism before then :P
That was my outerwear for most of my life, full hiking boots and all. Flannels are fairly informal though, I prefer feeling a little more dressed up for a professional interview. Now I really do dress like a used cars salesman, so you know, progress.

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
I know I'm rarely able to tell exactly how someone feels about me. So I consistently worry about just... crossing a boundary of being too close. Of using a nickname that friends use... but what if I'm not there? Of just assuming that they actually want to talk to me about random stuff, assuming I ever think of any. Stuff like that.

Timberjeeves? Woodobson?
Barksdale seems to fit too well.
Earlier I didn't post a sentence about how if someone doesn't complain to me about their personal problems after a while I just assume we are acquaintances. We all have dumb, borderline unacceptable opinions and petty problems; if someone never expresses those then I just think they are being polite. On the other hand, if they start on those on the first and second meeting I feel like they are forcing intimacy.

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
Yeah. I get it.
...I must admit to have never really had a 'best friend', at least not one that was mutual. I was always the inoffensive "there" acquaintance. So, it was always envious, hearing stories from other girls of just... staying up for hours, listening to someone's problems. Or being the first one to know of anything important happening in someone's life. Just being the person willing to bother you at all hours.The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep.~ That's your horoscope for today.

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
Boy, I sure hope none of my friends have this criteria. I don't share my personal problems with friends, doesn't mean I value them any less or care less about them-- that's just not how I am. I'm sure that goes for plenty of other people too.
Re: dressing fancy for work-- one of my favorite work moments from the past couple of years was rolling up to the office I'd recently joined at the time wearing cowboy boots. They're what I wear almost all the time outside of work anyway, but it was the first time I'd shown up to that office wearing them instead of the usual boring dress shoes, so I figured there was a solid risk of being told they weren't appropriate for the office. Instead, when my boss saw them, she immediately started talking with me about the finer points of cowboy boot care and preferred brands. I haven't worn dress shoes since.

My Foot in Mouth Disease is acting up again, sorry. I wasn't trying to imply I had the right of it, just giving my particular experience.
Nice! I wish hiking boots were dress shoes, they are so much more comfortable! I already take tennis shoes to drive to and from work with, because thick soled shoes make driving a pain.

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
So, when it comes to meatloaf there are two main camps: Serve it with gravy, or apply a ketchup-based glaze to it.
I mostly prefer to serve it with gravy, but for the last couple of days, I've been wondering if my homemade barbecue sauce could be adapted into a glaze and if that would work.
My family has experimented with cooking meatballs in (storebought)barbecue sauce and that goes well, so in theory it would turn out, but sometimes things you think would go well together don't.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
If the purpose of your punnery was to invoke my hatred, you have succeeded.
More than you could ever possibly realize.
There are approximately ten-billion miles of genetic code in microscopic bundles in the cells that make up my body.
If the word "HATE" was engraved on every nanoangstrom of those thousands of millions of miles, it would not equal one one-billionth of the hatred I feel for you at this micro instant.

Re: Enderlord's Random Banter #230 (Friendly warning: Might teleport. Don't get wet.
Okay, I'm gonna be honest, the joke is actually annoying me a bit.
Please desist before I am forced to chase you down with a speed that is like a bat out of hell.
In Marvel Comics, there is a race of aliens called the Ovoids who, after having somehow been rendered unable to reproduce, developed 1: The technology to create cloned bodies that were stable and functional, but did not possess consciousness or anything that would be recognizable as a "soul,"and 2: A psionic technique that allows one to transfer their soul and consciousness into another body.
The combination of this technology and this technique allowed them to avoid extinction through functional immortality: When they get too old, come down with a terminal illness, or so on they just hop into a new body.
The cloned bodies being inherent without minds or souls is important--not only for ethical reasons but because a native mind or soul is capable of fighting back and successful transfer puts the victim in your original body.
While the technique--the Ovoid Mind Switch--is psionic in nature, one does not need to be natively psychic to learn how it's done: Both Doctor Doom and She-Hulk have been taught how to do it(though She-Hulk's powers interfere with the process)
I've spent time on and off for the last few months wondering how to make the optimal "host body," as the host body does not have to match your original(Doom uses it all the time to borrow other people's bodies as part of one scheme or another, though it occasionally backfires.)
The best I can think of is to try and combine the Ovoid's cloning technology with the technology and procedures that created Xraven, but that's assuming that you can get a piece of a symbiote and six samples that would play well together.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.
