@Surasanji
You're welcome. Thats exactly what I'm trying to build here. Decent people who legitimately care about all their fellow humans.

Heya im tsunachi, im a 20 year old in-the-works mechanical engineer.

Pretty much im just your average internet guy with a few extras, i like games, anime, and anything with a motor that can go fast, art, and books.

STEM wise despite me being pretty average in my interests im a huge nerd and love science, especially when it pertains to space. thats not to say i dont like the others of course thats just what ive always had a passion for.

I like talking to people with differing opinions in politics/morals/ideology/ethics etc. ( as long as its meaningful, isnt a shouting match, or is objectively wrong in the base statement i.e most of twitter checkmarks)

Politically wise im a classical liberal (bottom-left) but im also pretty centrist if that helps.

Long Thing about Fridays. 

Oh boy, my weekend is about to start....

But, I didn't tell you guys, yet, about the oddity of Friday Morning in Tel Aviv.

On Thursday night things start to get calmer. By the time Friday morning has come, the whole city feels quieter and lazier as it prepares for Saturday.

As some of you may be aware, Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath. In traditional Jewish time keeping a day is sunset to sunset. At sunset the new day begins (Which is why Jewish Holidays all seem to start the 'day before' the official holiday).

I live near a fairly busy intersection- certainly not the busiest in Tel Aviv, but it's right down the street from the Central Bus Station. Friday morning sees fewer buses. They relax the schedule, since traditionally people have Friday off in the Israeli work week. Your standard '9-5' would work from Sunday to Thursday.

Friday, though. It's like the whole city relaxes. Breathes out, prepares for Saturday. The whole city feels different. You have to experience it, at least once. Imagine if New York or London had like 1/3rd the traffic heading down one of their busy streets, just because it was Friday.

No buses run on Saturday. The garbage man goes by, but that's the heaviest vehicle that zips by my apartment window that faces the street. There are a lot fewer vehicles.

And my entire body is used to it. I sleep deeper on Fridays.

It really is a magical experience. I hope you all get to check it out sometime.

Hello everyone, I'm excited to try out Mastodon! It may take me some time to warm up but I would like to get in the habit of posting regularly.

I am a physics phd student researching dust transport kinetics to create better dose predictions of radioactive release exposures. I also teach college physics in a variety of settings (classroom/lab, studio, online). I'm driven by the scientific method and improving the health and understanding of our society. Feel free to chat!

One of my favorite female led bands, Screaming Females.

Covering Taylor Swift's Shake it Off. Just fantastic.

When a web form or company allows me to create my own question for Customer Service to ask for security reasons?

My favorite question: What are you wearing?

And the answer: I don't think that's appropriate!

So, a customer who refused to send me required paperwork just questioned my "Attitude" as a function of "Not Getting Laid".

! :P

Something I enjoy to do, inline with my Mush/Muxing fun is to make playlists for characters, themes, or games.

I do make these in Spotify.

Here's one for White Wolf's Geist: The Sineaters.

And here's one for a gender-swapped Lex Luthor I'm playing on a mixed universe comic/Superhero game set in mid-60s New York:

Hey, I'm Tasha, and I'm new to Tooting, I'm a Chartered Built Infrastructure Surveyor, and I'm keen to learn more about new Construction technologies and strategies, but also happy to talk about and champion Diversity in Construction, and how to change career from any background whatsoever.

Now I sort of want to get a Multiplayer game going where we federation up and take on the rest of the galaxy.

@commandelicious

A friend was telling me about their most recent play-through. They're playing fanatical spiritualists and happened to be right next to some killbot empire.

He goes into war, takes over a few planets- but doesn't really colonize them, because of his species being Ocean based and the Killbots all being on desert planets.

In come a Marauder empire who abduct some angry killbots.

Oops!

@Surasanji I'm a bit torn between chilaquiles or a chicken biscuit. And if it's the weekend, I enjoy swapping my morning coffee for a good coffee stout or schwarzbier...

Now I'm hungry, but it sounds like I've planned out my breakfast for tomorrow though.

Pretty sure I owned every single thing in this picture. this is basically me as a kid.

@Surasanji For me it's eggs over easy, some roasted potatoes, and bacon that isn't too crispy. I can't overeat at breakfast or else I just want to go back to sleep!
