Time for new #introductions!

I'm Jordi. #Mexican expat living in #Montreal, #Canada. I can say expat instead of immigrant 'cause I've had a super-sheltered and comfortable life. Nothing dreadful has ever happened to me.

I like #mathematics, #knitting, #skating, #swimming, and old #gameing because I'm old (not that old).

I also do software stuff because of course.

I work on #GreenhouseGas assessments and #environmental #mapping, which I want to call #ecological cause we need that word again!

Dammit, @stolas I can't stop you either!

I love I can unboost toots just so I can boost them again. It cracks me up, you can't stop me.

And yeah, I was wondering if I should show this comic, but it's so hard to find and it's such a good essay that it deserves to be read more widely. And it's only one story out of the 39 others you can buy from the whole book.

I ended up buying the book myself just so I could show other people the comic.

I also uploaded it as pdf in case you'd prefer to read it that way.

I really like this #feminist comic strip essay on #GLaDOS and her relationship to #Chell in #Portal. The author is Laura Lannes.

It's part of Chainmail Bikini, a very nice comic strip anthology of feminism and gaming, both tabletop and video games.

I just learned that "albeit" is pronounced "all be it".

Huh, that makes sense, how did I never realise? It's one of those words I only ever read and use in writing.

Who ever actually say "albeit" instead of "although"?

I'm almost out of capsaicin and the stores that sell the good stuff are all so far away these days. 😓

Nice, he's been keeping it up. The psychological association of the internet thanks you for your service, David Savitt.

Hell yeah, I'm algebraic geometry.

What about you?

I motion to make "Which GTM are you?" our standard personality test.

Honestly, I prefer reading The Onion's horoscopes.

I just tried taking an MBTI test for fun but it wasn't fun. I was annoyed with the vagueness of the questions to the point that I honestly had no idea how to answer them.

"Do people think of you as intuitive or as having your feet on the ground?"

Huh? How do I know what people think about me? And why are those two opposing choices? Can't you have good intuition and also be practically-minded? Who doesn't consider themselves practical? Who thinks they have generally bad intuition?

Oh crap, I'm out of milk, should I go shopping? I just went on Thursday.

I've been having some internet connectivity problems, so if all of you could get off the internet for a moment just while I download a few essentials, I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.
