my strongest take is that if you have more than 5-10 items (range depends on size and ease of scanning) you should not use the self-checkout when there is a perfectly good cashier line already.
If you bring alcohol or other age restricted items to the self checkout I will kill you in the middle of the Walmart and everyone behind me in line will be cheering.

The Stanley cup thing wouldn't be bad, except it's just been released that they contain lead solder in them which can be exposed if the cup is damaged.
Oops. Well, that's definitely not good.
(Says the woman who wants to raise children in a Victorian house with, among other old toys, a dollhouse made by her great-great-grandfather in the 1920s)
(But I WILL take pains to make sure no lead goes into their mouths, which seems like a step above giving them Convey Drink Into Mouth vessels with a lead risk)

@muraskiii : flicks gummy worms at him, "to keep your brain company!"
Thrumming energy on a spectrum with vice at either end softens roundabout of atmospheric confluence in glooms of play-pretend. Motion caught with a mere side glance - a surprise addressing him to be roused.
Tumblr media
Thread of binding unlaced. Bane without bleeding baring set of enamel-coated structures lurking in (un)natural denture, — they lashed out —, teeth sank with ease into tenderly succulent stem captured in mid-fall. Roughness given to a surface not longer than fragments of glue to adhere. Chewing, biting, but not swallowing. Unfolding palm outstretched near now-incomplete forehead to capture another unhealthy delight dropping down his way. That's the second one. All the while blackened gaze of the hijacked vessel notably lingered right on the Honored One with eyebrow raised without tick, and twitch in eye's brim, '' How thoughtful of you. '' A clap back at progressive tug at his customary display of confessional nonchalance.
'' At least invite me to a proper dinner. And if you're that bored -- who gets to walk away undamaged wins. '' He could hold up to shame and laugh to scorn, emboldening their banters until the end of the days.
The proper bite happens like a nom of first luxury, the rest slips in like a man would slurp on a thick noodle. Mauling at burnished lush of bloody red and sugary orange.

I’ve been thinking about how if you compress quartz you get electrical current and thinking about its inverse - how if you give a quartz an electric current it compresses - and because y’all know me, it made me think about petrosapiens.
But with lingering thoughts from a previous post of mine, I have combined these thoughts with another, older and collaborative idea of the past-
Let’s get started.
Alright, when you have aliens sci-fi sometimes you get off the wall creations that thanks to the whole ‘fiction’ side of the science, probably aren’t possible as is explained? From aliens made entirely out of sound insulated with silicone to walking talking fire pits from the sun, Ben 10 is by far taking science by its reigns and going full speed into that fantasy and petrosapiens - the example of the ‘material based aliens’ you see in lots of media - is well within that cool factor you can’t fully logic.
Well, since it’s been stated a few times, petrosapiens (and the similarly crystalline crystalsapiens) are silicon - no e - based beings, and guess the fuck what my dear readers? Silicon-based crystals happen to include the beloved electric conducting quartz that this following headcanon is reliant on.
What if a petrosapien’s crystal structure down to its very molecular construction acts not only as their nervous system, but also as the root of their crystallokinesis?
Silicon itself does not provide its own current of course, but what is a nervous system without organs and most significantly of all, the CENTRAL nervous system; the brain - of course - alongside the spinal cord (read: not the spine that protects it). Simply put just like our own nervous system the central nervous system and the (conversely) peripheral nervous system communicate back and forth with one another using electrical currents.
Unlike our own human nervous system, the petrosapien nervous system is either mostly or near entirely electrical signals rather than electrochemical messages along neurons. Instead, through at least the crystal part of their bodies (which comprise most of their body and in fact translates more into extremely thick skin rather than natural armour) conveys sensory and neural responses and activities - either autonomic or somatic - along the crystalline structures like natural geometric circuitry.
Most of the nervous system in the crystal of a petrosapien is somatic, many of the autonomic nervous system being the soft squishy bits inside sitting like the centre of a fruit gusher, but it’s not without its own autonomic systems even if they are more towards the core. These autonomic functions are of course the organs responsible for recycling and reusing the digested minerals (a responsibility of the stomach) to act as materials for new crystal growth.
And with new crystal growth, along comes with it the inherent (but trained) crystallokinesis of petrosapiens. Though so long as a petrosapien eats their daily crystals they are engaging with crystallokinesis post digestion, the external act of crystal manipulation is in a sense literally letting your nervous system interact with other quartz-like or silicon-based crystals in order to jumpstart the manipulation of its structure as an extension of yourself.
Because having a network of circuits means that petrosapiens can literally feel more things than you expect of them, being able to detect sensory information beyond the simple presumed sensation of pressure, crystallokinesis of far more ancient literal planet made crystal is a process young petrosapiens need to practice, adapt, and get used to. It’s less about feeling pain and more about feeling more of yourself exposed to the air, to the water, to the ground beneath your feet and the ceiling above your head. To manipulate the crystals of Petropia you must become a part of Petropia.
Rather a religious experience wouldn’t you think?
Now what happens when a certain specific cult arrives in search of (literal) power?
That’s right baby welcome to classic reboot crossover time where I introduce a fundamental player into the headcanon history of my version of Petropia, the very reason that petrosapiens were introduced suddenly into the galactic sphere and how because of the materials of Petropia and the interference of extraterrestrials, the rapid rise of interplanetary level tech grew to the point where a certain criminal found himself staring at the shattered remains of his own home planet!
Say hello to the fulmini and the High Override himself, cult leader of the Global Mind and a literal representation of a nervous system, who’s invasion of Petropia was under the assumption of it being a barren uninhabited planet full of electrical current sustaining crystal for use in energy sources.
Check out this post by @sxilor-1010 and me for a more in-depth discussion on both the biology and more relevantly sociology of the fulmini and the High Override’s cult (which in today’s post I just made a name for that may or may not stick) so check that out-!
For the longest time I marked this period as The Surface Craze, the benefits of the English terminology being that it has multiple means beyond the direct Petropian translation of ‘the day the sky broke open’. As the many petrosapien people were introduced for the first time in thousands of years, spanning multiple generations perhaps equivalent to old English to modern (as it is today) English, the sky was crazed (rock term for scraped), the people were going crazy, and the upper rungs (aka the poor and the slums that couldn’t afford the protection of the holy core) sought this new horizon and caused a drastic shift in the political and societal landscape. All the while the energy hungry Override, with his energy desperate limbs of conquered colonies, studied and contemplated the usefulness of disciples (and batteries) of this new species.
Another meaning of craze was introduced to petrosapiens when the High Override grew interest in the regenerative abilities of petrosapiens, his arms and legs reaching out and spreading across the newly cracked open planet, singing his own praises as their one and only truth through the teeth and mouths of his subjects. Though many of the religiously scorned people of the shallows were far too burnt to be swayed, those that clung to religion in hope saw that these strangers were far more accomodating than the leaders of their own faith, the Override perhaps not able to fully take control of them as he could as those that serve as his fingers, but he did not come this far without his own manipulative ways.
A proposition was made, that these beings of crystalline stone can offer their patronage by contributing to the flow of energy, to welcome their arms into the embrace of the High Override and provide a tithe to his service. Their arms, which compress with the electricity of their central nervous system, that can be compressed and crushed and chewed up by the machines that the Global Mind and the High Override’s many fulmini limbs are hungry for, are desperate for, are past the point of begging for.
And those with the faith and the belief and the desperation, they take up arms and feed the machine.
Funny, it seems, that the High Override’s act has created one of the largest surviving community of petrosapiens yet.

Was woken up this morning by my oven clicking endlessly and when I called my landlord to ask him for help, before I could say anything about the oven he launched into a speech about how the basement is flooded which is why there will be no hot water until Monday. Which is of course how I learned I have no hot water, because I was calling about my oven (which in end he came over to look at, unplugged, and told me he'll have a guy come by and look at it Monday, which is frustrating because I was planning to bake a pie for a party today? I guess I'll just show up with the homemade pie filling I have all ready to go in the fridge????).

2024 if you fuck me up I will never forgive you
#why did i chip a filling i’ve had for two years. at least it’s only Chipped i guess. not fully gone#but what the fuck bro. why#i was eating the softest food in the world too. literally chicken korma and rice with a naan. SOFT#maybe the naan was chewy and the sauce was sticky and it created a lethal combination idk#i have to call the dentist tomorrow and for what#i love spending money i don’t have on dental work 🫠 y’know i really.. i really love seeing that money come in every week#and thinking ‘you know what i’m going to spend that on? having teeth’#if anyone younger than me is reading this brush your teeth right now. then floss them. please#i’m not going to tell you to use mouthwash because i don’t use mouthwash because it’s a horrible sensory experience for me#on like 3 different levels. but like. whatever you do just don’t end up like me#i’m just so Annoyed because it’s literally a tiny bit of tooth that’s come off but because it’s like.. the edge of the molar right where it#touches the next tooth; it feels Really uncomfortable. and i know i’m going to get in and they’ll be like ‘but did you floss it?’#NO i didn’t floss it. for fuck’s sake. why do you think i’m back here after two years#i hope they can fix it fast this time. last time what happened was i went in and they were like ‘okay wow.. so your tooth has chipped#and the part that came off has basically embedded itself in your gum’ so they had to basically dig it out (sans anaesthetic#because i refused it because it doesn’t work on me anyway) and then my gum was bleeding so much they were like ‘we can’t fill this’#they gave me a temporary filling. fell off within 4 weeks. gave me another one (no charge for that one) it again fell off in four weeks#at which point it was late 2021 when there was no official lockdown but medical professionals were refusing to see anybody whatsoever#you were hearing about people removing their own teeth at home. it was wild. anyway i finally got a proper filling 4 months later#and then today i ate rice and it fell off. probably because i don’t floss. possibly because it just wasn’t a good filling#most of it is definitely still on there but i’m now prodding it with my tongue like ‘are you going to bail on me too?’#i feel like i need to look in there and make sure it’s not in my gum. i don’t want a repeat of last time#fix me the same day i go in to get it looked at or so help me#personal

I have a small birthday celebration planned for today, really just a few people, some cake and pizza and then we're going to an escape room in the late evening, but of course Im So Stressed about it, ughhhh. Im excited too, but my anxiety is having one hell of a field trip rn 😩
#personal#vent#Raksh vents#still a couple hours until they're here#and I have to go pick up my two cousins from the train station too before the other two guys arrive#gotta get some chips on the way there and then stop to fill up my tank on the way back#bcs I forgot it's pretty much empty and Im prob gonna end up being the driver this evening#so Im not even buying any alcohol#no use when we're gonna be sitting around for like 3-4 hours before we'll have to leave for the escape room#and when we're finished with that it's also gonna be very late so Im fully expecting the 'party' is gonna end there#which -- good#I really wanted to meet up with them and do the escape room but Im not that good at entertaining people#and prefer smaller and shorter gatherings so I hope this will all work out well#I don’t have all that much to do at home too#just tidy up the table get the cake and the likes#but other than that Im not doing anything big or whatnot#we just gonna sit down to catch up and maybe play some board games#I really want it to be just a chill nice time#also the drive to the escape room is prob ine of the things making me nervous#never driven to that town on my own#and the weather unfortunately got fucked ;/ it was so nice and sunny yesterday but now its dark and gloomy and raining hard 😔#plus parking is never not gonna make me nervous#hate that part of driving ughhhh#anyway I guess I just needed to ramble out some of my nerves 🙈#I still have like 2.5h until I gotta leave and all so its plenty of time to prepare#but also plenty of time to stress over everything 🙈#ooof#okay anyway#gonna go try to distract myself until it's go time#hopefully it'll be a nice time for all of us 🤞

I would love your frankensteined chocolate peanut butter cookie recipe, if you are willing to share
Recipe!
I used this recipe for the cookie part (I used salted butter instead of unsalted and heavy whipping cream for the small milk portion). Follow it as laid out until it's done chilling.
For the peanut butter filling: mix 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar. You can do so with a spoon and then get annoyed and finish mixing with your hand to make what is essentially a dough. I found the peanut butter taste was good, but could be better, so maybe a pinch of salt too next time and a little more peanut butter if you wanna experiment?
With a teaspoon, scoop out little balls and shape them as such, putting them on something flat and lined with parchment paper that will fit in the freezer. Make about 24 just to be safe and stick in freezer while cookie dough is chilling, at least one hour (cookie dough needs at least three, I made these and left them both overnight to make the next day).
Then! Once everything is good and cold, scoop out balls of dough, flatten with your thumb to make an indent, put in the peanut butter ball, and mold the dough around that so it is all covered. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Makes about 20-24 cookies depending on if you're using a scoop, or just free-balling it like me.
Note: The peanut butter melts pretty quick so I recommend making like six to eight cookies at a time while keeping the rest of the balls in the freezer. Also, my 50 year old oven baked them in seven and a half minutes, so just check in around then and look for set edges.

I have on my to-do list, “finish writing the next chapter of River Runs Forever and post it before I travel next week” because it’s been like a month since I updated, and also because I tried to post a chapter of a WIP from mobile a year ago and it was such an excruciating experience that I vowed Never Again. I’m very over hand-coding HTML on AO3 fics, and that life-saving Gdocs script only works on desktop.
Anyway, I have made almost no progress towards this goal, but I’ve been amazingly productive about doing every single other thing on my list, to procrastinate on writing, including rearranging all the furniture on the first floor so I can actually watch DVDs of Columbo while I do kitchen-based things like cooking and making chocolates for Christmas stockings. I’ve now made, uh, a lot of chocolates, for Christmas stockings.

Another successful Sleepover!
My little brother--who is 16--and I, have been doing what we like to call our Living Room Sleepover; where because it is summer, we hang out in the living room all night and watch whatever we want and talk and just be with each other.
It started last week around 3 am on Monday when he couldn't sleep and I was also awake because I have chronic insomnia. We put on House, MD, I gave him a couple of melatonin gummies, and we watched until he fell asleep. When I noticed that he had finally fallen asleep, I tried to get him up to go to bed, but he refused.
He insisted that he stay in the living room with me because a) the floor is comfy (we have a new rug) and b) "as [he's] told me before" he's used to sleeping on the floor. He didn't want to leave where I was and be somewhere else, so I let him stay. Then, because I couldn't sleep, I just sat up for a lot longer and watched Dynasty on Netflix.
We just had another Living Room Sleepover on the back of spending so. many. hours. together and with our family as a whole, because why not? Tonight/this morning was filled with the first 4 episodes of The Boys season 1, episodes 4 and 5 of The Walking Dead: Dead City season 1, and we rounded it off with House, MD again.
This is my best friend's family, who unbidden, adopted me into their ranks, simply because they could and have enough love and chaos to go around. And their siblings are my siblings (seriously, they introduce me to their friends as their sister now for I think, going on two years). But, I digress.
Something about spending time with these people brings me joy. And there is something special about baby bro that I haven't had since my family kicked me out years ago. I will never forget how he told me around Christmas that I am his now, we are a matched set, and no matter what I got him.
Yeah. Well. Guess what, kid? You got me right back, too. We can have our Living Room Sleepover anytime. 🩵

its so insane how ANY time you bring up free healthcare in america SOMEBODY is gonna repeat that lie “but in THOSE countries you have to wait WEEKS or MONTHS to see a doctor!” when you do ACTUALLY have to wait that long in the US if not years, provided you can afford it (lol), and then a lot of times whatever treatment you have doesn’t work/ is absolute bare minimum quality. anyway i just flossed my teeth too hard apparently because a two-millimeter filling just got knocked right out so that’s about $400 down the literal drain
