A bit like a syllable when you are talking about text based responses. 20 tokens a second is faster than most people could read the output so that’s sufficient for a real time feeling “chat”.

Aroace reporting for duty o7

I’m trying not to follow the downfall beat for beat to protect my own mental health, not living in the US I have that luxury and I am so sorry for everyone that does live there and can’t look away.

Thank you for posting this, I still want to know what’s happening so summaries like this are how I’m keeping informed.

I like “little things please little minds” which actually finishes with “while greater fools look on” again completely reversing the meaning.

We need more well built fridges

God only knows, I’m just impressed it still functioned after exploding.

Wait, so after it exploded it was still working enough for Tesla to remotely open the doors and download the camera footage?

Making the effort to be the upbeat Christmassy one for the benefit of the rest of the family today. We’ll see how much social battery I’m left with by the end of it!

My party do have a pet mimic. He’s called Philip and is mostly there for comic relief although he has been known to help with puzzles and things occasionally

I’m asexual and aromantic so those parts just don’t do anything in my head. I often find people’s romantic woes very confusing as the option of “just leave them” seems very simple to me!

I do experience a lot of love for my friends though and make friends easily so I’m in no way lonely or pining.

Found it!

As someone who is an environmentalist and works in the bus industry this really heartens me. Public transit really needs to step up it’s game in response to climate change and I’m excited for that.

I’ve been using ViewTube specifically because it was easier to set up. Although it also fails to play videos occasionally

For me learning I was aroace was hugely freeing, realising I could just opt out of the whole dating mess

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

Much better than expect. This has been the first year where we’ve had someone outside of our immediate family join us (my brother’s girlfriend) and it’s been very pleasant.

Going to start working my way through the Christmas ales I’ve been saving now!

In fairness, games are still something I’m willing to pay for and books. I think probably because Kindle and Steam are better user experiences than pirating those.

I used to have a moral objection to piracy, I thought that if a piece of media is good enough that I enjoy it then the people that made it deserve to be paid for their work.

I’m increasingly of the opinion that even if I do pay for something there is no guarantee that the people that worked on it will get their fair share and paying for media is increasingly a worse user experience than piracy.

I’m not neurodivergant, but I’ve definitely had to consciously get better at this. Booking regular holidays throughout the year is what helped me, don’t just take holiday when you get to screaming pitch. This gives you something to look forward to and hopefully means that you’ll be able to decompress before all the various annoyances build up.

I haven’t yet found a job that hasn’t eventually caused me to burn out, even the relatively chill jobs with little pressure have eventually had enough niggling issues to cause me issues.

Another thing is to not take on more trouble than you are paid for. If managers aren’t listening or politics is causing issues then just concentrate on doing your job to the best of your ability and nothing more, when issues start affecting the companies bottom line then they’ll take notice.

In my campaign the party came across a magic item seller who had two juvenile mimics in a terrarium in his shop. This is now canon for how he met his first mimic.
