My own nightmare

She/her. Lurker. Shitposter. Sometimes i write

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

[nonaferatu]

everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.

Not to sound like a broken record but does it make anyone else viscerally angry how we realized in the very recent past that we can successfully eradicate devastating human-specific diseases (smallpox) yet now there's a million people telling you not to vaccinate your kids against measles. I know I know "everyone will not just" but also for real we could never have measles again if everyone would just be cool

The Professor and Luke but in a more realistic style!, I think it's fun to think how they would look more or less if they were real. THIS is the university professor that's too busy solving mysteries to come to class, smh.

The top hat look irl gives him so much whimsie

there's a certain subset of people on this site who have built their entire sense of self around being ~neurodivergent~ to they point where they become hostile to the very idea altering their behavior or speech to suit the social norms of a given situation. and even just seeing pretty neutrally phrased etiquette advice that they are not obliged to follow feels like a personal attack against them. and its quite frustrating to watch because these are also Often the people who are constantly posting about how lonely they are and how they don't understand how everyone else seems to know how to socialize with each other. They have somehow never intuited the connection between categorically rejecting etiquette and their resulting inability to initiate or maintain friendships.

like yes dude us other autistic bitches have had these problems too but social norms being less intuitive and harder to pick up doesn't mean it's impossible. it is a skill you can learn like any other if you stop acting like the people trying to teach it to you are snuffing out your divine spark or whatever, and stop plugging your ears whenever other people tell you how they want to be treated.

i think ultimately frustrates me the most about this behavior is that it's just such an insanely selfcentered understanding of human interaction. you think that conversation and behavior You don't personally see the purpose or value of has no purpose or value at all. and instead of trying to meet other people half way in their expectations of how relationships develop, you expect them to instead abandon all their criteria for socializing in favor of yours because you believe your own social framework is innately superior.

on a related note one of the single most poorly received pieces of internet friendship advice i've ever given here was "unless you have a specific reason to believe otherwise, internet strangers don't want to hear about your OCs and DND characters the first time you're speaking to them." people haaaated that one. kind of straightforwardly lets you understand exactly what people like this believe about how relationships are formed and should function. a lot of them want an audience more than they want friends because they don't know the difference.

Whoever invented "open in app" links that redirect you to the app store instead of actually opening the app even when you already have the app installed on your phone should be involuntarily turned into a beanbag chair

The autoclave is designed to kill schmucks I think

[bedrock-to-buildheight]

It’s a 24yo Tomy SS-325 if it helps, it beeps once when it finishes counting down and beeps again when it finishes depressurizing, the steam is about 90-100c by then iirc

[bedrock-to-buildheight]

#top loading autoclave??? how do you get your trays out without toughing the sides?

With its basket! It comes with two of them

[thesilverhunt3r]

What's an autoclave?

Are those ink markers?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

It's essentially a superpowered pressure cooker designed to get hot and high pressure enough to kill EVERYTHING. Including mold spores. They're used to sterilise equipment.

Those aren't markers, they're tubes of fluid that OP wants to be sterile. It's common practice to autoclave things like nutrient broth before inoculating them with bacteria, to kill off any contamination and make sure that you only grow whatever you put in there to grow.

[grison-in-space]

Fun fact: you can totally sterilize equipment with an instant pot in a pinch. I know this because my lab lives in a psych department so there's no goddamn autoclave in our building, so we were using an instant pot for some time until EHS decided they were not comfortable with it and were willing to cough up for an actual autoclave.

You want to use a biomarker to verify obviously but that's good practice anyway.

[whetstonefires]

Instant Pot doesn't let you open it until it's depressurized why does Elderly Tommy the Murder Autoclave omit this feature.
