zavodilaterrariumStarting off the random thoughts tag with a TON of stuff. Most of these would not be able to take up a post themselves, and I think it might be a bit annoying to have an avalanche of miniature entries XD I did wonder if I should just limit this to the thoughts with meat on their bones, but I want at least one post that sort of captures parts of my brain that might only show themselves in my replies to other people most days.
Some thoughts were caused by certain convos/events, others were purely from my mind. May discuss sensitive topics vaguely.
Love when artists put their names/signatures in places that you wouldn't necessarily notice and thus wouldn't be likely to get removed by thieves. Usually I see this in fake logos, but I've also seen it in hair highlights if it fits the style. (If you've seen my art, you might have seen me do this with the humanoid Sonic piece I did.)
I didn't know wood fibre installation existed. It sounds very handy, if only for being safer to handle than other common insulation materials like fibreglass.
RSS feeds are very cool, and I'm glad DW can be used as a reader for them.
Two of the profile pics that give me the most pleasant vibes are Joker from Persona 5, and Link from The Legend of Zelda.
For me, it's quite awkward to read about or watch sexual acts in media. I feel that I am intruding on something, though I am perfectly happy to 'spy' on literally everything else.
Managing plans/events doesn't sound fun at all, but I'd rather do it thoroughly if I have to do it at all. I would not tolerate being made the de facto planner.
I don't feel that I need all my friends to be physically present for me to connect to them; certainly, I feel lonely and insane if I can't get touchy with people, but they don't necessarily have to be the same as the people I converse with. Emotional connection and physicality are not super intertwined for me.
Honestly, Malaysian food is way too greasy for me nowadays. I really like the texture of fried stuff, but the greasiness should be minimal.
I do consider cutting my hair very short/shaving it all every summer, I don't handle heat well.
It's a shame that people don't write more romances between characters of the same height, or even build.
I never leave movies half-finished unless I genuinely did not like it enough to continue it, and I don't willingly restart games I didn't finish unless I somehow fucked it up really bad — if I forgot the story or how to play, I'll just watch some videos or tough it out. My reasoning is that movies tend to be in that time-range where I either commit or I never start, and I hate losing progress on things, including games.
Circadian rhythm and brain stuff is strange. Like, whaddya mean if I have a normal sleep schedule and wake up for a 6-8am breakfast, I can't eat anything too heavy or greasy right after I wake up, but if I sleep a normal amount of time but just wake up at a different meal time, like 6pm, then suddenly I can eat whatever the fuck I want without nauseous consequences (just can't eat as much tho)??? I'd assumed it was just that I wasn't ready for that to be the first meal, but I guess it's just so associated with morning time that my brain ignores whatever grievances it has at night.
It's wild how many people I've been talking to recently where they have such poor memory (of conversations) that it genuinely sometimes makes me doubt if I have memory problems because I'm like 20x better in comparison. Realistically, of course, we can all have memory issues of differing intensities, affecting different types of memories.
I sorta wanna play Mario Kart World because the normal tracks look wild (lowkey they make me feel stupid just watching), but I'm too lazy for pirating and I don't want to give that much money to Nintendo.
Some people never consider changing the playback speed of videos, but I almost always use 1.5x or 2x speed. I forgot that not everyone is like me.
Though I've had the Discord display name "Llymlaen de la Noscea" for quite a while at this point, I've only just now used a water-related profile pic, which is funny.
While there is arguably evidence that my crush like[s/d] me back, it's actually impossible to tell for me, given the 'weird' relationships I have with my friends.
I've never felt particularly "stuck in place"; I'd say it's close to being carried along a river, alternating between positive and negative locations, but always a bit too fast for my liking.
I do not like hearing "I'm sorry you felt that way". Some people act like it can replace an apology, which it can't. As a condolence, it feels condescending or insincere, especially if the person saying it is the individual I am upset with. It has the same effect on me as "just calm down". I can't calm down just because you say to, and I don't care if you are sorry or offer condolences if you're just going to continue with the behaviour that pissed me off in the first place.
Scolding people for mistakes is not productive. Failing to provide suggestions for a way to circumvent or lessen the occurrence of known mistakes is not productive. Scolding people for problems they could not feasibly have been responsible for is cruel and ignorant.

Date: 2026-02-13 22:21 (UTC)Some people are huge fans of the air fryer, which produces a similar texture with little or no fat. I am not adept at frying most things, so I haven't bothered with it, but it's worth a thought.

>> Though, I enjoy cooking and my mother (who does most of the cooking) cannot have much fat or oil, so we tend to make stuff ourselves with justttt enough oil to get that crispiness. The side effect is that I forget what outside food is like and overestimate how much grease I can consume XP <<
I like cooking too. One thing I have to watch out for is salt. I use very little to cook with, and many commercial foods are just way too salty for my taste.

Date: 2026-02-13 23:42 (UTC)… I’d not thought anything of it before, but typing it out makes me wonder if it’s a blood sugar problem. Looking at the symptoms, I don’t experience the more ‘unique’/obvious ones, so can’t really say. Guess I’ll keep a lookout though, no harm in that.

Date: 2026-02-13 23:58 (UTC)There are many sensitivities which do not fit standard definitions of problems, but are still bothersome. With sugar, often the issue is refined, added sugar or modified sugar (e.g. high-fructose corn syrup) whereas natural sugars in foods are more tolerable. For other people, it is contextual based on how recently you've eaten.
Especially useful is the observation that different types of sugar digest at different rates, which means you can stack them to avoid the spike-and-crash effect. Some energy bars and gels balance their content this way.
Anyhow, pay attention to how your body responds to different foods and different times between meals. You can figure out what works for you.
