    That’s the question. It’s the perception of others and conformity of traditional social stereotypes. The more someone has bitten into old gender stereotypes and roles—or just gender in general—the more it’s of concern to them. It’s the same as buying into hair colour, tit size, height, etc. and thinking these define you somehow, based on old sociial opinions of them. But the truth is, it’s all faux. Man-made. Nothing in the universe cares about it except human society. If there were no society, you would not know what these concerns are. You would wear whatever the fuck you want because it’s all about practicality,.not having an identity projected toward stranger’s opinions and society.

    For real, people got to let go of “gender” as perceived by societal roles/ideas aka the views strangers and how they identify you.

    Everyone should be rocking dresses in hot times! They are the closest you can get to the pleasantness of rocking it all balls out around the house, but with some sun protection.

    I strongly encourage everyone to take up a sarong. And if you think that’s “faggy” you can take it up with Polynesian warriors. Who, I’ll remind you, were the only ones to actually fucked British Colonialism.

    When I arrived again in Australia, floods happened again—hm, maybe I’m the problem—anyway! Insurance companies were trying to get out of payments by saying flood damage was covered as a result of flooding from rain. And yes, rain obviously caused the flooding, but the rain occured up on mountains which then flowed down and flooded areas below.

    The government regulators got onto it straight away.

    The final attempt argument was something like “The insurances cover water coming from above, not below.”

    Regulators didn’t have a bar of it. Insurance companies had to do—get this—insurance.

    Everyone was happy except for insurance companies and the people that lost their homes and got financially held up for over a year as the insurance companies tried to find any leftover money for payouts because the rest was in funds. Of course.

    I’m starting to get old.

    I can smart my house in a fully closed network and automate so much shit. But then I have to stay on top of it. I’m already at the point where it’s becoming a chore to catch up on the industry for new hardware for my rigs and I’ve done it so many times; it’s not fun anymore, it’s a job… I’m tired.

    Solace is found in my headphones and a fire pit. The day Steam becomes fuckery, I’m retiring from technology and fully absolving myself into disconnection.

    Hell of a time to be born, but fatigue.

    Edit: Ah, who amI kidding? I’m a career data analyst. I’ll be chasing digital dragons until I die
