@steampunkgoblin Being a grownup in 2024 is weird! My person is crushing on a young adult WWE star and I love teasing her about it and making her face go all red. At the same time, my brain is like "Ruthie Ruthie Ruthie". But it's all safe and semi-pretend/make believe.
@steampunkgoblin My ancestors could NOT have handled their partners admitting ANY attraction to ANYONE outside the partnership. They would have murdered each other, no joke. They had the guns and everything.
@steampunkgoblin But in 2024, I'm allowed to chase after you as fast as I can and by all accounts everyone is literally gleeful about that! And I should emphasize, I'm Ace! Like "the dog who chases the car", 'I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it!'
@RandomNameArg Although, don’t let dogs chase cars, that’s how they die 😅
@steampunkgoblin On the one hand, I KNOW that's an obvious statement of fact coming from someone who cares deeply about animals of all kinds. But on the other hand, it sound exactly like something the Femme Fatale would say to the protagonist in a 1940s detective film.
@RandomNameArg Can’t care that deeply about animals if I love meat and enjoy taxidermy 😂 But yeah – true on both counts
@steampunkgoblin Hope some of these new synthetic meats turn out to be just as yummy and affordable. If it's safe and delicious, you can TELL me the secret of Soylent Green and I'll be fine with it. If it's as good as bacon, I'll turn Charleton Heston's famous shouted line into a jingle!
@RandomNameArg I would still eat actual bacon anyway. It was stressful enough finding out I have Coeliac Disease and changing my diet to gf – I can’t also go vegetarian/vegan, that’s too much. That said, I would love a pet mini pig – those guys are just too adorable, ngl.
@steampunkgoblin I live in terror of developing a relationship with a pig. I've met cows, I'm fine with beef. The more you get to know what jerks the goats are, the more you want to eat them. But a pig would break me. And I _need_ bacon. Just a spoonful makes the medicine go down.
@RandomNameArg I have no qualms with that – I mean, I’m aware chooks are full of personality, I still like eating them.
