Thank you for the detailed reply

The way I phrased that did my therapist a bit of a disservice, she said it was very evocative of OCD but that she couldn't necessarily rule it out as an autism thing while noting the latter is not her expertise, despite having an interest in it. I don't think she asked that last question.

I'm going to look at some self assessments and do some reading (still on the second chapter of Unmasking Autism) and see what comes of that. The subjectivity of it kinda sucks honestly. I wish I could just take a blood test or something and know 100% what's up with me

Whatever build list you put together you can post it in c/technology and we'll take a look

The only salient point ever made is that Republicans will always paint Dems as communists no matter how moderate they try to be, so they might as well just do what they want to do.

Of course, with the rat man "what they want to do" was market-pilled, mean tested incrementalism

Not really, mostly just a bit of anxiety at the beginning that can be ascribed to taking such a big step. Hoping I'll notice more changes in the next couple weeks

Ah I've used that for Mac and cheese before, good shout

i've probably been underdoing it with the water for fear of making it soggy. maybe it needs to be even more heisendrated

oh i'm saucing it up for sure with some habanero stuff i've been into. might try to keep some queso or something similar around to add in as well

after these past couple tries that description of TVP seems to line up. that tofu sounds not too bad to do, and yeah definitely not looking for extra work so seitan is out

I boiled water and dumped it in at a 2:1 ratio in favor of the TVP which is what I read online. I added some taco seasoning to it but that didn't help too much. I think the broth is good tech, I'll pick some up grocery shopping tomorrow.

But for burrito bowls, I almost always just use beans and rice, and maybe mushrooms.

in that case it'd just be beans and rice (i'm not a mushroom head sadly) which feels a little sad. maybe if i switch from refried beans to whole beans like black or pinto it'd feel less gruel-like

hmm i'm not a nutty enjoyer so tempeh's prob out then

7 and above for sure. 8a is the cheapest option buying new due to discounts the 7a doesn't get

Sure my organs could go to a bad person. But they could also go to a good person. I'm not going to run the risk of the latter dying just because the former might benefit.

One week of HRT today and all that's really changed is my balls hurt

Dudes rock

TIL my other workplace crush is seven years older than me. I don't mind but I'm probably much too babby for her :(

I feel like the author is just repackaging a concept and acting like it's new. Aren't culturally-motivated emotional associations with ads still emotional associations with ads at the end of the day?

Hmmmmm... Hmmmmm...

Ate too much soup 😣

I've started saying "yippee" as a reaction a lot more since starting HRT
