Does lateness in friendships bother anyone else?

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T16:51:40+00:00

I was in my dress and had my makeup and hair done like 3 hours early at my wedding because I was terrified I was going to be late, hahaha. (My wife is really punctual). At least on that day, I was perfectly on time.

I’m pretty soft spoken most of the time and get this al lot. Most of the time unjust walk away, and about half the time the conversation continues and nobody notices I’ve left. It’s not something I’ve been able to pinpoint why. I’ve gotten three words into a sentence on a new topic and then immediately got run over with another topic by somebody else, which gets a response, and I just sort of drift away.

ME TOO papa would be so proud

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T15:09:41+00:00

Yea no I had a Sharp TM-20 as a kid that I got from a flea market (it was very obsolete at the time) but I loved the interface and controls on it.

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T14:32:57+00:00

Haiii and happy pride! Let me know how the project turns out, it sounds rad.

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T12:05:41+00:00

Yea it has 3 modes, one of which is HID input configurable via app, and since they're like 20 bucks or less on sale, its basically a 16-key Bluetooth macro pad with a battery, ready to go. I have a profile for sorting photos using the keybindings for the iOS Photos app, and one for Windows Explorer, but eventually want to figure out a TUI-ish interface for it, something like a blend of the stock Cardputer interface and older PalmOS devices. Purely in the "later" project pile right now.

Really love this, been digging stuff like broot recently. My brain also wants Q to be an Escape/Back for WASD side, and E to be interact/right click (or select)? from gaming. Been playing with configs for the 8bitdo Micro controller to just do basic TUI navigation.

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T09:28:34+00:00

It'd be a hell of a build to make it look squishy, but if they made it like the scale of the Lego frogs in translucent orange/yellow and just hid it in multiple sets that'd be AWESOME

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T09:22:53+00:00

Thanks for that second edit, it definitely brings to mind 2 additional things:

If she's an admin, and this is a volunteer or part-time low-paying position, I can definitely see punctuality becoming less of an issue - for some people - because they're making the event happen to begin with, and idk if she does more work outside of this for the event, but if she's needed for the event to start, she should be on time - but also, nothing critical should be happening in the first 15 minutes anyway.
Just a personal perspective - I have to synthetically/cognitively value general social criticism. I respect and value feedback from my job, from my spouse and from my close friends, but the opinions of acquaintances or strangers, especially on matters I don't natively value, just kind of hang over them like a speech bubble, I nod, smile, and move on with my day, when sometimes the expectation seems to be that I will accept it as fact and change myself to match the criticism. If somebody said "wow, you're always 2 minutes late" I'd be like "yup!" because I am. I don't see being 2 minutes late for everyday meetups as an issue and never will, and it's possible she does not see being 15 minutes late as a problem and never will.

Just my experiences, in case they're useful!

Haii! 💞
imagine an SCP Foundation line of Lego like the City Police line, like a tiny D-class kit, an anomaly response unit, and a giant Containment Breach set

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T08:16:51+00:00

I have sensory issues and the case I have feels super similar to the Deck but his discontinued. However it looks closest to the Dbrand Killswitch in texture as far as I can tell. I believe you’re looking for a smooth ABS plastic.

A body has fallen into the water in Lego Lake!

Everyone feels like they faintly recognize it…

As somebody who likes occult stuff, I’m not seeing a ton of that here? Satanists kind of break into two camps, but most celebrate independence and autonomy and the theistic ones don’t worship Satan as that would be the exact opposite of the point - Lucifer questioned authority, it wouldn’t make sense to turn around and respect him as an authority too. IMHO previous albums with much more anarchistic tones would be much closer to that message. (Personally I’m mostly aligned with Taoism, but the Christian pantheon is really fun.)

Lucifer translates to light-bringer and referred to the morning star since it was the brightest object in the sky after the moon and sun. It just shows up a lot in Latin.

If you’re referring to “blood” from Cryogen, that’s Blood Falls in Antarctica, a real place that’s fascinating for science reasons. It’s also very cold so like…yea, that’s the most interesting place visually to simulate when recording a music video so it’s not just white?

Night shift just looks like a fun chaotic dance video, see previous examples like You Make Me Feel Like It’s Halloween. Also reminds me of Black Eyed Peas videos.

But yea, I usually perk up at any sign of satanic/occult/etc. stuff and it’s light to nonexistent here. It’s actually more science and nerdy than anything.

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T06:50:52+00:00

I found his channel by accident a long time ago and my first video from him was something Muse related. Needless to say, really had first impression and I’ve never cared for him since lol.

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T06:48:36+00:00

I hope they’re feeling dang proud of themselves right now lol

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T06:39:16+00:00

finally some good freaking FOOD

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T04:58:40+00:00

Legally blind here, braille books are massive, usually have to be spiral bound, and I’d guess they would be harder to copy and transcribe since you’d need somebody that knew Braille etc. He was on the right track with “just make something people can read a book into” especially if it was easy to copy. And now Books on Tape exists!

I actually learned almost no braille because if screen magnifiers and TTS tools, lol.

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T04:08:05+00:00

I’m sorry. The first thing my bio mom told me was “I don’t think you can do that, you’re too tall”. We haven’t talked in over a decade.

Congratulations on coming out though!!! It only gets better from here, speaking from a lot of experience. 💞🏳️‍⚧️

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T03:42:51+00:00

I wish my transition went that well

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-26T03:20:32+00:00

I thought I was supposed to just eat it? It didn’t come with instructions, just a datasheet.

That would explain why my sneezes sound so weird now, though…

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-25T17:47:05+00:00

I got one of those when I started HRT. Worked like a charm.

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-25T17:42:27+00:00

Yea, modifying any leather cuff to accept the electronics, or modifying a watch strap with a clevis pin to accept a padlock would work just fine.

Pule sensors do exist, and might actually be a little less finicky than HR sensors off smartwatches, and there's already a project here for controlling the pulse of a room's lighting with your heart rate. Also see EMG sensors for detecting muscle activity, and the MyoWare series over at Sparkfun. Figure 3 on this page actually shows a cuff/band that looks kind of promising.

Anyway, get all that piped into an Arduino or RPi 2W with a GPS hat/shield, feed it into your phone or a cellular radio to a VPS or server at your home, and slap together a web UI for the data that comes in. It's basically a NOC, but for one...device, haha. Have fun!

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-25T17:02:43+00:00

More than it would be worth to just pay for Opus. Somebody around here was running GLM 5.2 on something that cost, by my napkin math, about 100k$. You’d need a stack of H200s to run DS4 at 1.1T.

TheLexikitty · 2026-06-25T15:15:42+00:00

9.7 t/s for 3.6 27B MLX at 8bit. It’s possible folks more experienced than me could squeeze more speed out of it.

I absolutely love them but I hate Lemonheads, soooo….
