scheduling posts is an underrated feature of this site

Every other social media platform is all about immediacy, and if you can schedule things at all, that's in the section for Businesses who make Product Announcements or whatever

Sometimes I schedule some of my favourite posts for my birthday, or I schedule the Maury Christmas post for December 25, or Season's Greason's for early December, or "What do you think about Good Friday?" for next year's Good Friday

There's an old programmer proverb, "Everybody has a testing environment. Some people are lucky enough enough to have a totally separate environment to run production in."

So yeah, you probably do want a separate production and test environment. And the test environment should be realistic, so your tests tell you something about production. But it shouldn't be too realistic. For instance, you don't want to accidentally charge people's credit cards for real during tests.

So yeah, you probably don't want the actual payments to go through in your test site. And real products shouldn't ship when orders are made on the test site. But you still have to be careful about the separation. For instance, you don't want to accidentally leave the test site accessible to the public.

And you really don't want to accidentally paste links to your test environment into a google ad campaign, thereby paying money to trick willing customers into making fake orders with real confirmation emails, that redirect them to paypal and all that jazz but nonetheless fail to charge them or send them orders.

All this is to say, I have recently been doing some uncompensated labor helping a company to debug how exactly they fucked up my wife's birthday present.

I do like the sexy formalwear look but it's really like, tightly constrained, as you say I wish there was more breadth and more direct slutting it up.

Like, I dress exactly like this when I'm out daily and it works, I even wear the garters! I get hit on moderately frequently at social events, but like outside of the formalwear sphere your options diminish rapidly and there's lots of contexts where semiformal isn't appropriate. Rolled up sleeves are great for showing off forearms but it's like such a low level of sexy compared to even a crop top or sheer layered dress. There's a reason I have to switch to weird nonmasc clothes when I go to the club, men's club wear is simply lacking. There's a level of hotness men can hit with a backless halterneck leotard or mesh top that is simply unavailable in the men's section of the store.

Low priority but especially now that they don't have like. jobs as a point of attraction it does suck for cishet men that they don't have a good slutty clothing option. If you're masc and want to look hot for queer people you can swing from the boring but successful rolled up sleeves dress shirt all the way to fishnets and bodysuits. This is mostly downstream of like. I look at people's outfits a lot. I like clothes. The boys are often remarkably hot but they can't! Cheat! You need to be able to cheat your aesthetics! You can't be out here relying on pure luck you have to be able to wear something that makes your potential hookup do looney tunes shit.

Even Sisyphus had a grade. otherwise the rock would just stay there.

there's a way in which grading can make your week into something a little too nakedly sisyphean
