Ugh, the mirrors are a total love/hate curse. I love people watching to death and am usually very good at concealing my talents, but all the bros are just staring at their muscles (granted, working out is pretty vain and I'm going to do it to once there's something to look at) and it's almost unavoidable if you're not intently staring at yourself. The only muscles I want to flex in that regard are my "getting the fuck out of this situation" muscles. I've gotten quite good as the razor you walk on when you look "pick on"-able is either 1) you can be a punching bag to others and they know you can probably do nothing about it 2) you are not a threat in any way so therefore do not merit consideration

I always steer things towards 2.

Biotechs are notoriously short-lived. I'm actually surprised it's kept afloat this long. It's like watching a reverse phoenix.

I am already terrified of the natural food chain of the ocean cause we're just soft pink snacks floating in the sea, so now throw Cold War technology in and I am absolutely not going in any water can't stand up in.
