Are you a boy or a girl?
I'm nonbinary.
Yeah, but what were you born as?
A baby.
No, I mean what is your sex?
Awesome.
FFS! Do you have a penis or a vagina??
I've had my share of both.
OMFG!! WHAT IS IN YOUR PANTS??
A frankly disturbing number of lockpicks.
@KatS I was never actually a scout of any sort, but I did teach them archery for a while.
@alice @KatS @theartlav Probably for the best. Paramilitaries kind of suck, even if they teach you some first aid and wilderness survival skills.
(And the BSA is absolutely a paramilitary for kids.)
@trashpanda yeah, the overt Christianity was hard to be around too, but most of the kids were awesome.
@eruonna valuable life skill π
You never know when you're going to need to get into (or out of) something.
@duncan_bayne I'd only get a transparent lock or two for demonstration purposes, but images and video clips of lock internals are even better.
Acrylic locks get cloudy and deteriorate quickly with amateur use, plus they teach new pickers to rely on sight, which they'll never use when applying the skill anywhere else.
@alice @theartlav I only know the "Fire Brigade Method" of breaking a lock cylinder with a hardened tool steel screw, than hammering it out.
@alice
I am very flattered; and rather embarrassed: I meant my question as a jokey compliment rather than a true romantic overture.
I do happen to be near Seattle (north end); & I would be delighted if you wanted to have coffee with a boringly cishet & monagamously spoken for old Xoomer. But I would also understand perfectly if not.
@Gorfram Sounds like you're probably within easy driving distance of me.
I'd ve happy to grab coffee sometime just for the fun of it. My Signal/Matrix contact info is on my profile, send me a message if you're up for it π
@not_a_label
A well seasoned cast iron skillet would easily lure me into many places. 
Frying an egg in it without it sticking? 
I also enjoy panoramic photography, and sifting through rocks to categorize and sort them, but those are different pans.
@alice
@zipkid
Omg! 
That stove! 
That countertop!!
And a usable looking mortar and pestle. And... Is that an egg slide? I haven't seen those in over a decade!
Ok, you have successfully lured me. That is a beautiful kitchen! 
I almost forgot about the pans. I would feel compelled to work on seasoning the left cast iron more. The middle one looks like it could use some love and the one on the right has a very even patina on the bottom, may need some light oiling on the sides but all three are in pretty decent shape.
@h3mmy worked on me π€·πΌββοΈ
@creatures common misconception, pansexuals are actually into panoramic photography.
@alice I used to be married to someone who would ask those questions about our kidsβ friends.
She didnβt understand that it was none of her business and highly inappropriate for a ~50yo to be asking that of ~15yos.
I love that scene in Nimona: βBut Iβm not a girl. Iβm a shark. Chomp, chomp, chomp.β
@alice @pseudonym @holsta same β¨
it can be a little emotionally exhausting when the kiddo wants to watch it multiple
times in a short period but itβs worth it
