Lmao. my friend just texted me:

So somehow i managed to supercool like half this box of freeze pops, and now every time i grab one theres a 50% chance its liquid that freezes as soon as i touch it

This is the content I demand

I am one of a handful of people in the world known to have been diagnosed and treated for a rare sarcoma cancer in an even rarer area of the body, that generally effects only women (I am a man).

It's a really crappy club. I wouldn't suggest joining.

I’ve never had to do a job interview. 5 different jobs, all word of mouth.

I got synaesthesia, and Track_Shovel is a red and yellow name.

Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master's degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.

I approve people for disability money when I can. It's a lot of reading medical records and ensuring I'm being compliant with some really stupid rules.

Depending on the kind of metal you like I'm a big fan of Delain, especially The Human Contradiction, The Agonist, especially Lullabies For The Dormant Mind, and Infected Rain, especially 86.

For useless tidbit, the barnacle has the biggest dick to body ratio of any animal.

Best meal I've ever had was the pizza my realtor made for me after hubs and I closed on our house. I don't know how he did it, it was an outdoor dinner in a frickin wood fired pizza oven, he made a margarita with miyoko's mozzarella and fresh basil he grew with homemade sauce. It was so fucking good.

Most fun place I've ever visited was New Orleans. I went on a cruise to Mexico once that left from there, and I had an amazing time both days I was in new Orleans and a miserable time while I was on the boat.

What do you do for work, or what are you studying towards

Studying towards masters in electrical engineering.

Musical recommendations (bonus points for metal)

If you like the song by Beyond Creation, you'll love this.

Useless tidbit you know (bonus points for citing sources)

The Ibanez Tube Screamer pedal contains no tubes.

Best meal you've had

I have a sous vide machine. I've obviously done the whole "food porn steak" thing, but one time I took an entire chicken breast, sous vided it like a steak, breaded it, pan fried it, and ate it like a massive chicken nugget with a juicy interior.

Best place you've visited

Home lmao. Close second would be Cedar Point, although I don't think I can fit on roller coasters at my current weight.

I'm an Asian (Hongkonger to be exact) and I speak Cantonese. I love sharing about my culture, most of the time including language. People don't quite like it tho.

Meanwhile I study CS, make vector arts, play piano, and stream.

I used to not cook at all. Then I realized I can’t go on like this and started a challenge: Eat a self cooked meal every single day for a month. It was super challenging but I learned a lot (and initially wasted a lot of food due to bad planning). Now I still cook almost every day.

When you wanna know if a hobby is for you, try doing it every day for a longer time and see if you still enjoy it.

I never quite understood emotions until I started hrt at 32.

Im the person who's been "chosen by the people" to do "IT stuff". Family, friends, teachers, and neighbours reach out to me for the simplest tasks. Stuff they could probably figure out on their own, but insist I do for them.

I'm a nightmare for my school administrators, as I know my way around every blocking and monitoring thing they've set up on the school equipment.

I've also caused headaches for the entire city wide school system, as I got cloudflare to (unintentionally) block traffic from our ip address, and since all traffic is funnleded trough a VPN to a central gateway (all schools in said city use the vpn) ,meaning I blocked 66k kids from using the internet for 15m. ( I didn't get in trouble :3)

I thought I only had some ADHD, MFW filling out the psychiatrist's questionnaire and I'm marking everything on the inattentive section as "almost always"

I really enjoy butterscotch and scotch

I'm a storyboard artist/3d generalist and I'm working towards my dream of one day developing my own cartoon or video game. I'd love to be a showrunner or game director and this is one of the ways I believe I'd be able to get there!

A few of my favorite songs are Love You by Idenline, Sacrificial by Rezz, Over You by Flume, Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones, and Walk by Pantera.

Did you know that for the music in 2016s Doom they used an actual chainsaw as a sound one of the songs (https://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/5i51ov/til_mick_gordon_pitchshifted_a_sample_of_a/)

Best meal I've ever had was a BBQ burger in New York. I can't quite remember the restaurant since thus was back in high school but I've never tasted something as good as that since.

Best place I've ever visited was Banff in BC, Canada. I went with a lot of friends and to this day I still cherish those memories of walking around the town, having ice cream, and just having fun.

I once intentionally starved myself till the point of a huge headache as a personal experiment

I work as a Java programmer, which means that I spend about 50% of my day complaining about Java. Why doesn't it have enums like Rust? Why are there no tuples? How many goat sacrifices do the Java gods require to support named optional arguments to functions like Python? In the remaining time I have meetings, write docs, write tests, and sometimes even code. Nothing to complain about though, seeing how we are treated compared to people I know who work as taxi drivers or in elderly care, we programmers are basically treated as gods.

As for music, I like Hardstyle and Drum and Bass primarily. Examples: "Phuture Noize & Devin Wild - Waves", DnB: "Telomic & Susan H - Underwater". I'll be visiting the DnB festival "Liquicity festival" this weekend so I'm very hyped right now

I am a woman who prefers short men.

I'm going to a King Gizzard show next month, pretty excited.

Best meal I probably had was an emotional support curry I made for myself.

I'm also excited about restarting my D&D campaign after a small hiatus.

Currently I'm pretty tired but I'm also going though some revenge bedtime procrastination...

What do you do for work, or what are you studying towards

My day job is in tech. At night, I'm a bonafide freak. I perform with fire and sharp things.

Musical recommendations (bonus points for metal)

In This Moment - Ritual

Useless tidbit you know (bonus points for citing sources)

The tongue consists of two muscles that go down to your throat. I know because I have a forked tongue.

Best meal you've had

I will kill for sweet plantains

Best place you've visited

Salem, MA is one of my favorite places. I go very frequently (just not in October)

Part-time cashier at a big orange hardware store while trying to get my degree in horticulture.

Best cake I've ever had: Chocolate Chocolate Chip by Nothing Bundt Cakes. Seriously, if there's a location near you that you've always passed by, stop by and try it. Their Carrot cake and Lemon cake are also amazing.

Work: Self-employed software developer, currently designing veterinary shop microservices. Still haven't decided if I will use Java(spring) or Python(django-rest), (or none?) Insights will be highly appreciated ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Music: EDM, Robert miles ~ children . This song reminds me how we moved around a lot when i was 3-4 yo. (My father was a civil contractor on different companies, states apart) Finally, a song that sums up the confusions I had.

Tidbit: People highly underestimate their hearing capabilities. I mean, We're not dogs, but our ears collect more information than we ever asked for. All you have to do is LISTEN.

Best Meal: My mom's. And yes, I know I might be highly biased on this. I've tried pizzahut, KFC, and every premium buffet out here. But naaah. My mom hosts catering services, BTW.

Best place: to date? High school where I was studying. It's at the foot of Mt meru, at the gates of Arusha national park. Almost every day, we wake up to the sound of zebras and giraffes grazing high trees, takes all the stress away.
