So, I guess the correct response is to do what Kuzco did in the movie, and drink each one in sequence until you drink the right one (while running in terror)?

This séance could have been an email.
There was a case in Canada where the judge ruled in favour of the plaintiff, where a chatbot had offered information that differed from Air Canada’s written policy. The judge made them honor the guidance generated by the chatbot:

Yeah you get it, exactly. The way they used to describe airplane safety back in the 90s seemed based on “chance to be in a plane crash,” and while those numbers were pretty reassuring, the numbers for “chance to survive a plane crash” were not.
The way that airline safety is positioned has always annoyed me. Back in the day they used to say, “Your odds of dying in a car crash are greater than dying in a plane crash.” That statement never sat right with me because while the aggregate number of casualties is greater for car crashes than airline crashes, it doesn’t address the survivability for the passengers of a single incident.
I forget the statistics, but depending on the type of car crash, passenger seat position mattered in a car, with higher mortality rates for the driver’s side vs passenger side, and higher mortality for front seat vs back seat.
Now what about a single airplane crash? It doesn’t matter if you are seated in first class, business class, economy, the flight deck, or in the cargo hold. Survivability rates for the entire plane are low for the entire plane in the event of a crash.
Yes, planes have less incidents compared to cars, but if a plane has a problem, it’s going to be a big problem for everyone on board.

I mean he’s not wrong about the former, but he can fuck off about the latter.
Anki is great for flashcards with lots of community generated decks for free download:

Still don’t get bars inside some big buildings though :p
Feels like pressure.
At times it’s just a barely noticeable background level of weight, like sure I can handle this, no big deal. At other times, it feels like a crushing weight, painful, can barely even sleep, and all I can do is seek some kind of gender affirming euphoria to feel some relief.
Tonight is one of the latter, after feeling like I clothed myself in lies and had to perform all day, the pressure is unbearable. Looking forward to an evening of painting nails, makeup and spinny skirt.
It’s a built in, central facet:
Would highly recommend joining a community garden to anyone. I was a total beginner, paid 30 bucks for my yearly plot. There were always people who were willing to give advice, water the plot while I was away, or people even gifted transplants of new veggies I’d never tried. Learned so much from experienced gardeners, got free mulch and fertilizer and there was even a community barbecue. 11/10 experience.

I’ve been struggling with the same kind of themes and wanted to share my experience.
Dreams have been bittersweet. On one hand dreams feel light as air and carefree to see myself as femme. On the other hand waking up puts me in a bad dysphoric mood the whole day.
Not woman enough. I’ve been taking a guerrilla war approach to this one because trying to do it all at once is overwhelming, and the key has been celebrating small victories. Laser hair removal takes time, but every little bit is an incremental victory. My nail painting skills are still trash, but as a result of getting some proper tools and cuticle oil I’m taking better care of them they are stronger and healthier. This theme also reminds me of the pressure others put on us to “prove it,” and that we put on ourselves to conform to some type of gender ideal. See The Null HypotheCis for more.
Too late. Yes it would have been nice to figure this out years ago. But wouldn’t it be better to live authentically, given that Now is all we have?
And… I love your username. Toughest Starfleet captain, model main character, and a picture of femininity.
All my screenshots are memes. Where is Google going to send me on vacation?
I’m more impressed that they can use a gamepad for CLI input.
You’re suggesting I should follow the yellow brick road to find the Wizard of iOT?
Bricking hardware is a form of enrichment for me.
