Scalding hot take y’all aren’t ready for: Chell and GLaDOS were in fact in lesbians, but Chell was the domme and GLaDOS was the bratty sub.

Think about it: the entire game, GLaDOS runs her mouth taunting Chell as Chell calmly and slowly approaches, avoiding all of GLaDOS’s attempts to stop her, until they finally meet in person and Chell puts GLaDOS in her place.

Then in the sequel GLaDOS is back to bratting again but the moment GLaDOS is in real trouble, Chell immediately shifts into caretake domme mode to protect the sad potato that is her girlfriend (and honestly, in my experience, sad potato is a perfect description for someone going through sub drop).

Then once GLaDOS is doing better and the source of her discomfort (the obnoxious man who tried to insert himself into their dynamic before Chell dealt with him) is gone, they immediately resume their normal dynamic.

Tell me how any of that reads like Chell as the sub, hmmm?

The worst-sounding piece of advice I've ever been given that does actually work is to frame your health concerns as coming from someone close to you, whom you do not believe. Tell your doctor that you've been having pain and your mom/friend/partner thinks it might be an ovarian cyst, but you don't think so because the pain is much more intense and it has to be something else. This gives your doctor an unseen third party to fight instead of you. They can't just tell this third party, who isn't present, that you pulled a muscle, they now need to prove to this third party that it is not an ovarian cyst.

At which point they will find an ovarian cyst, but they now get whatever fucked up satisfaction they derive out of proving you wrong, because you didn't believe it could a cyst at all, but guess what? They did find a cyst! It's such a good thing you didn't listen to your intuition and came to them to verify your lay diagnosis from that third party! Bonus? Doctor doesn't have to feel like they look stupid in front of a patient, which is really what all this is about. Not your health, why would you think your medical diagnosis is about your health? It's obviously about a doctor's potential ego.

And apparently this works. Apparently you just need to be able to always play 4D chess with your medical professionals in order to find an avenue of advocating for yourself and getting you medical needs met. Isn't that great?

I hate it here, actually.

i had strep for a month one time. then i invented Fake Boyfriend about it. immediate antibiotics. Fake Boyfriend will save your life.

Unless you're someone doctors will percieve as a cis-passing/cis guy, in which case they will probably think you're a person, but just in case, blame your mum.

I just saw a video title on YouTube that said something like “Why is glass transparent?” And that’s an interesting question and I’m sure it’s great that the video exists but my first thought was like “Because glass is terrible, obviously.” Because it’s unwieldy and let’s out warmth and needs to be heated to hundreds of degrees to be shaped and turns into hundreds of tiny daggers if you drop it. Why the hell would we bother with that if it didn’t have some magical quality like being totally transparent despite being solid? Glass is transparent because if it weren’t, we’d use something else.

looking through my “me” tag and this is apparently what I was thinking 3 years ago

If you’re still curious we did not start working glass for its transparency.  It was most likely started as a sanitary concern.  Glass is easy to clean with soap and water, once it’s cleaned out you can use it again for anything and no germs or flavor from the previous meal or drink will remain.

Other materials at the time, namely clay, would absorb flavors and germs meaning that if you ate beef off a clay plate your next meal with that plate could have beef flavor and microbes common on cow meat on it.  That would leak out seemingly at random no less.  Heck imagine a sick person coughing into their soup bowl and then months later their germs hiding in the clay would pop out to infect whole new people.

Also the earliest human use of glass we know of is for its sharpness.  Pre-historic people would use volcanic glass as sharp knives for food preparation.  Also beads.  Pretty much any new substance humans get their hands on for most of our history we immediately try to make into beads.

The fact that it could become see through was a side benefit.
