Courtney (she/her/they)

Hello lovelies, I am a (trans)Woman who is still in the process of discovering herself!

I have been working up the courage to be who I am for so long, I am excited to be figuring things out.

Pre-HRT, pre-fashion-sense, and pre-confidence.

Any and all tips and advice from more experienced women are welcome!

  • Every time I see"court orders striking workers to go back to work" I always wonder yo myself why they think that will work.

    Of course, I’m even MORE baffled when it works.

    You guys had them so terrified that they got courts involved, and you think THEY Hold the power?

    Protip: if you hold out long enough, fines will be dropped. If you hold out long enough, their resort is to put you in jail, in which you still won’t be working (for that company, anyway)

    Also there’s a super secret move where you and your coworkers drag your employer out of their home in the middle of the night.






  • My first car was a Nissan altima, I pulled apart to get running. I wanted to go off road at a friend’s property, there’s not much difficult terrain, like bouldering or anything, just bumpy and filled with potholes that catch cars every time they hosted large events.

    I put a 2in lift kit on it, and after becoming confident it won’t get stuck at my friends house, I got a winch that I could store in the trunk, an extra scissor jack, took that fucker to the woods and tried a few trails popular with jeeps and Subarus.

    It’s crazy what kind of stuff you can get up to if you don’t care a ton about the car you’re driving. Eventually put the extra stuff in my pickup, and that car slowly got used less and less until it blew a gasket into cyl 5 and I decided I didn’t want to pull the entire engine apart a second time.



  • Sure, here’s 50 cents for the coffee.

    Now here’s the bill for the ride, the seat cleaning where you sat, the new air freshener since that’s obviously been used now, my consulting fee, conversation fee, silence fee, and an additional 47.30 for various small consumables like oil, coolant, washer fluid…

    Adds up to 1.846,97EUR for the day. You can send that whenever.

    Oh right, almost forgot the €200 calculation fee.

    Also it’s a 30% interest rate per day for late fees


  • RTGs do get put out in space, however they aren’t used for everything. If a single rocket experiences Spontaneous Unplanned Disassembly while carrying an RTG, it’s a disaster that spreads radioactive materials.

    The entire point of an RTG is to use the waste heat as power, and if I understand RTG design, the cooling fins are to provide the difference in temperature that thermoelectric modules need to produce power. So there isn’t a ton of heat that it gives off in general.

    Look at the international space station. It has massive radiator panels, and all it needs to do is house humans and the equipment to keep them alive. A lot of bulkiness of space suits is dedicated to heat management.

    The #1 product of data centers is massive amounts of equipment-killing heat. That heat either gets radiated via massive radiator panels, or the space data center cooks it’s own equipment.

    I’ve alienated many relatives by responding to things lie this with “LMAO that’s exactly how a dumb shit republican thinks! Damn, I didn’t know you could be this funny!” or something along those lines.

    Oddly, they never seem to respond unless it’s like 3 months later at a family gathering when they have had time to think of a reply…





  • I really think avatar should have done a little more to show life for non benders.

    We get a little bit here and there, but never really see “normal people who have to be on their toes around benders” kind of life outside of the single western lone-wanderer episode where Zuko left Iroh and was helped by an earth kingdom family, who then all turn on him when they find out he’s a fire bender for sure, claiming to be prince of the fire nation.

    Damn that is a good episode…

    But Imagine being a normal person going about your life when BAM half your house is gone because a teenager still wrangling with his abilities accidentally shot a boulder (not THE Boulder) through your front wall. Are the cops gonna do anything about it? Or are they gonna shrug and tell you they don’t have any benders on their payroll so nobody wants to risk getting sunk through the floor.
