love it when allo gays complain about how difficult flirting is when you've fallen for your bestie because you don't know if the person 'only' likes you 'just a friend'

like aw thats cute sweety but have you ever tried Queerplatonic Yearning

Bitch I'm in levels of the friendzone you've never seen before and I don't even know if I want to get out of them, are these the circles of heaven or hell, and is my squish is even aware that we're here, and do they think we're already in a relationship?

Its like do they like me as a friend, a Friend, or romantically? Hopefully not romantically but also hopefully not as a friend bc as a Friend is how i like them and then in that case thats basically already what we are but are they aware of that? is that what they want? Or are they just being nice? Am I ok with them just being nice? Would asking to clarify that its a committed relationship ruin things or make them more meaningful or change nothing at all?

who fucking knows bitch

[our-alterous-experience]

Having very alterous thoughts, and I think THE song that perfectly incapacitates how I feel about it is 'Just Friends' by Musiq Soulchild! Like yeah, that casualness and fascination is exactly it. And I wanted to share in case anyone related to it too :)

Nancy having a one night stand with this cute rocker chick she met at a gay bar, only to find out that this girl, Robin, is the lead singer of the band that Nancy was just assigned to do a series of interviews with regarding the rampant rumors that she’s getting back together with her pop-star ex (who her fans absolutely adore)

Okay but imagine being the team of Eridian scientists tasked with keeping Erid's Only Human alive for as long as possible while the whole planet's environment is literally trying to kill him. And then Rocky shows up and is like:

“Grace says he would like half of dome to be water.”

“Oh, is necessary for humans to have large amounts of water question?”

Small Eridian equivalent of a sigh. “No. Not needed for life. In fact Grace will die if he falls in water and does not get out.”

“Tell him we give him water in containers that won't kill him. Lots lots lots of water on Erid for Grace to drink.”

“No. Grace say he want water on ground. Also want it with excess sodium chloride compound so it will be unhealthy for drink.”

“WHY QUESTION???”

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

To celebrate Erid getting their sun back on track, Grace asks for some alcohol. There's a small amount left from the Hail Mary and Rocky offers to take it to the science Eridians to see if they can synthesise more.

“Grace want this liquid for celebration.”

“Of course.” They scan it. “You have wrong liquid. This contain compounds which are poisonous for humans.”

“Yes yes yes. Grace say humans like feeling of being slightly poisoned.”

“WHY QUESTION?????”

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Grace is like one of those extremely finicky tropical fish who instantly die if not kept in extremely specific conditions.

Only here the fish can talk and keeps asking you to make it vodka.

The European Union already forced Apple to abandon its proprietary charging port and adopt USB-C across its entire iPhone lineup. It just did something bigger. A new EU mandate requires every smartphone sold in Europe including Apple devices to feature a battery that can be replaced by the user without specialist tools, without voiding a warranty, and without sending the device to a manufacturer approved service center. Batteries must maintain a minimum capacity threshold after a set number of charge cycles and replacement parts must remain available for up to ten years after a model goes on sale.

The consumer electronics industry built its current business model around batteries that degrade, cannot be replaced at home, and create a natural upgrade cycle every two to three years. The EU just legislated that model out of existence in the world's largest regulatory market.

Apple, Samsung, and every other manufacturer now faces a choice between redesigning their devices for the European market or accepting that their current hardware architecture is no longer legally sellable there.

Given that no company walks away from European consumers voluntarily the phones are going to change and once they change for Europe the rest of the world will ask why theirs still do not.
