the more mediocre period television i watch the clearer it becomes that the master and commander style initial title card is the only elegant way to do historical exposition. gold standard. just tell me where we are and what year it is so we dont have to waste the pilot watching characters explain war to each other like they all suffered severe head injuries before walking into the scene

Okay I don't know why I was thinking about this but here is random story

Alright so I used to work at Starbucks and this old dude comes in. I don't pay him much mind, I'm makin drinks. Anyways he orders a double smoked bacon. We ran out and don't have anymore prepared.

He is displeased.

My coworker helping him offers an alternative, The bacon, gouda, and egg sandwich. The bread is different and so is the cheese but it's got bacon and egg. It's not a one for one but it's the closest we have. The guy says sure. So the sandwich is made. The story should be over and yet here I am.

Turns out the egg is wrong. How could the egg possibly be wrong? It's an egg. You can't go wrong with an egg. But apparently you're wrong.

You see the smoked bacon egg is round and has the egg white showing and the gouda has a square egg that is alllllllll yellow. So clearly my coworker LIED to this man. He bamboozled this poor senior citizen because the eggs are not the same! They just aren't the same!

This old man just went off. Ranting and raving about all the lies he was being fed. Our manager did come out to see what was wrong. She tried to explain that it's just an egg that had it's yoke broken up. It was still an egg.

He was not satisfied. Nothing was good enough.

He did leave eventually, took the sandwich with him. And for the rest of the day we would look at each other and go egg is egg.

Egg is egg my friends.

Egg is egg.

my family's a mix of "went grey in their 30s" and "simply does not go grey until their 90s or something" and I'm kinda hoping I got the "go grey earlier" genes bc then I might look "older" and maybe I'll stop getting hit on by random customers

it is baffling to me that ppl keep insisting "if its not sprite then what IS it tho?" and seemingly do not...retain the recipes that are being shared. like you dont have to memorize them its just repeatedly "is lemonade not sprite though? how is it not sprite?"

"its lemon juice, water, and sugar"

"is it not the same as sprite?" no we just told u. does that sound like sprite to you. does sprite give you the vibe of juicing some lemons on a hot summer day? the lemonade version closest to Sprite over here, in terms of Being Lemonade, is still Notably Different from sprite, or any other soda, is probably Minute Maid, a highly processed branded lemonade that you can occasionally get from soda fountains (DESPITE! NOT BEING CARBONATED! similar to how they somehow dispense iced or sweet tea from soda fountains) it sometimes comes in a can or 2L bottle similar to soda, in the soda isle. and its Not Soda. its not Carbonated. its Trying To Pretend So Hard To Be Real Lemonade. it tastes like lemonade thats a bit sad. it is far more lemonade than SPRITE will ever be. if yall were simply insisting that lemonade is carbonated, that it was like, fizzy minute maid, that would be less offensive than calling sprite lemonade. which is Insane. good god.

i'm trying to make a small zine on aro culture and feelings, do you have any podcast, essays, pdfs, drives, textposts, poetry, art, anything on aro culture that i can be using? you can also say what things you consider to have impacted the aro community and some philosophies you believe to belong in it(for example i've gotten some texts on "the aro agenda", on the breakdown over what love is and personal desires rather than societal pressure) thank you for the time

i'm so sorry this has been sitting since january, but tbh i rarely have the energy to do these sorts of discussions without very particular prompts. i think it could be useful for folks looking for materials like this to scroll through archives, and maybe use analysis tools to check for the posts in the aro community with the most notes (i recall a small assortment have been created and posted about over the years). it could also be helpful to look at historical resources - such as the original conversation around the term aromantic from AVEN's forums, as well as resources and news from AUREA (aromanticism.org).
