    yeah I am really fucking dumb sometimes

    I kinda autismed my way into a date and I think I have an online girlfriend now???

    I made a friend who is single who I met a couple days ago, and we were texting and she said that she’s a barista or something so I asked if she would show me how to work the coffee machines in a VRChat world and she agreed.
    She had to take her estrogen shot and it happened to be my estrogen day too so we both took out estrogen on a discord call together. Then we made matching strawberry iced drinks and were sitting together at a booth, we started chitchatting about jobs and college and stuff and how bad the state of computer science jobs are when she said “this isn’t really the kinda thing that you’re supposed to talk about on a date” jokingly. Then it hit me that you typically don’t just take estrogen together and go to a Starbucks alone platonically.

    long story short we ended up falling asleep together watching an anime
    she’s so pretty too, I genuinely have no idea how I managed to do this 😭😭

    edit: come to think of it, she did ask me if I’m T4T (trans for trans) the other day…
    she also is like an hour away from me too

      I’m really happy for both of you! You sound like a fun¹ person to be around, and the way you tell the story is very cute! I wish you the best!!

      1: I mean this in the best way possible :) The way you tell the story makes me think that you are a very likeable person 🫶

      Maybe I’m just unusual as well but this doesn’t really sound that strange to me? I’ve gone to coffee shops and taken care of medical concerns in the company of platonic friends plenty of times.

      Very happy it has worked out the way it has for you though.

    That’s not true, you’ll probably get a little dumber as you age. It’s a peak not a plateau

        Think of the brain like a muscle. You can do regular diet and exercise (consume thought provoking content and engage in thinking exercises) to maintain health, it’s just way easier for youth and more necessary as we age.

    good news: I made an IQ test in my early 20s, and recently again 20 years later. was 1 point off.

    of course, the first one i made after 4 hours sleep having been wasted and high on a party the evening before without breakfast, drove there in a trash heap car squeezed in with 4 others.

    The second one was after 8 hours of sleep and a nice relaxing drive to the location through beautiful landscape.
