Wow, you look... really quaquaversal today. Your orientations are, like, crazy dense in SO3. Did you do something non-periodic with your tiles?

her mind is sea-green churning into forest-green, but she's willing to meet you in a neutral qualia-space like turquoise or chartreuse

you're trapped in piranha-filled quicksand, dodging falling icicles as strangers hand you poisoned snickers, at least validating your childhood anxieties

you wanted to be uploaded as a shapeshifting harpy-parrot with polymelic kali-wings and voices that ripple like fire, but a grey cube will do

Years ago, after making a self deprecating joke, a coworker told me to have more self respect and then said, "Hang out with me and soon you'll need to buy new pants. You know why? Because your BALLS will be so big that they won't FIT anymore". She was like 60 years old. Good friend, good soul

I've thrown a few good passover sederim also, but straying far enough from orthodoxy that it's really my own thing at this point

My favorite holidays are nawruz, halloween, holi, and lupercalia. What else should I be celebrating? Is there a good secular african holiday maybe?

opening my mysteriously long pill organizer with indentations not at all corresponding to how many days of the week there are and two long ones on either side surprise you're playing mancala with me now

But they also generated mixtures based on vectors of features from the Dragon chemical software, and if you can make white noise either perceptually or chemically, and in multiple ways for each, then it doesn't seem that fiddly which chemicals you use

In the PNAS page, there's a link to an appendix where they explain that they made vectors for odorants based on occurrence/absence of descriptors in the Atlas of Odor Character Profiles, and state the notion of equidistribution they used between a mixture and their full database space of odorants
