I've been on Mastodon a little over two years, but I've never done an Introduction, so in keeping with the tone of driveinsaturday.org, an intro:

Good morning #fediverse and #mastodon ! How are we all doing today? Anyone need some words of encouragement from a random dude on the interwebs?

I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a lifetime of trying to get my shit together. Skills that make me almost completely useless in a capitalist system. But if you let me, I will fold your underwear neatly and organize your sock drawer in a way that only makes sense to me.

Minor panic when I got multiple alerts of credit card fraud on ALL my credit cards. I got one cancelled, but the second one pushed back - but since I was a phone operator, I decided to actually look into what she was saying before pushing back...

Turns out, it WASN'T fraud at all. It was Amazon Prime charging my card for a subscription (which I was never alerted about otherwise I'd at least KNOW what it was), and because my first credit card flagged it as fraud, and declined the charge...Amazon simply went down the line of cards on the account. All of which marked it as fraud.

At least I know what happened, and, you know, actually listening to the operator instead of immediately pushing back fixed things. Sometimes we're right, you know. :)

So I'm down one credit card, but at the same time, I'll be in Texas where that bank is, and get a replacement there.

Thoughts Before Bed

I watch a lot of stuff. Anime, cartoons, 80s Sitcoms, Canadian stuff, movies....

But I don't binge watch them. I tend to watch one episode per night per show. Like right now, my evenings consist of an episode of Briscoe County Jr., Being Erica and Corner Gas. On Fridays I watch Doctor Who, Saturdays are cartoons and Sci Fi, Sunday are anime, movies and British Comedies....

It's how I watched TV as a kid, except I'm the programmer now. Lissa has dubbed this "Boomervision" which I take exception to as I'm squarely Generation X.

I'll binge watch something if it grabs my attention, but otherwise it's TGI Fridays every day for me...

A fun side effect of not revealing my employer on Linkedin is getting spam email with sentences like:

"Your background and experience at A Software Company caught my attention"

Oh, did it now. Delete.

TFW it was just a job and then it turned into a career when you weren't paying attention

If you have to choose to not be a queer identity I have bad news for you.

Straight people don't have to choose to be straight, they just are.
Cis people don't have to choose to be cis, they just are.
Binary gendered people don't have to choose to be whichever, they just are.

If being straight, or cis, or a binary gender is actually a choice you made, you're denying who you are not changing who you are.

Is it a costume when it's what you wear all the time in-world?

One of the surprising apps in VR that I'm enjoying is watching movies. Despite that the entire VR experience is 2K at best, blowing the movie up to movie theater sizes really works in VR.

3D works really well, too. 3D has historically not been how I like movies, but that's because the effect doens't work well for me. In VR, though, it's fantastic.

And now I not only really have a Home Theater, I have a full on Movie Theater in my goggles!
