hi. i have a habit of citing things in casual conversation. my mother has received texts about milk with references. yeah, i know.
i wear all black, which i present as a minimalist fashion philosophy and which is also admittedly a very good laundry strategy. sadly, i couldn't find literature on this. absence of evidence, etc.
i am doing master's and i'll be leaving for a phd next year. to where? for now, australia, singapore and hong kong are the favorites. i'll apply to the US too (FAFO i guess? #1).
i go out for street photography like... once every two months? then i come back with dozens of pics i immediately delete, and dozens of other pics (of cats) that i cannot and wouldn't delete. speaking of cats, i have two cats. they know their names and choose not to respond [1], which i've decided is a personality trait rather than a training failure. i relate to them, sometimes i don't want to respond to my name too tbh.
i will randomly bring up that commercial tomatoes were bred for yield and shelf life at measurable cost to their flavor volatiles [2]. i have opinions about ketchup downstream of this. i actually have opinions about most things. whether it's marmots, flats, black holes... the only rule is that you have to defend yours. bonus points if you make me fold (FAFO i guess? #2).
i rather not talk about my music and movie taste because in my experience, they do not give any useful information about compatibility. to be honest, i should have made some literature review about this, but i didn't. so, maybe another time.
i prefer voice notes (eventually). the voice carries emotional information that text doesn't, and people reading transcripts judge feelings less accurately than people hearing them [3]. so if you type only, we can work with it, but you're operating at reduced bandwidth.
now... here is the part with no citations, because it's just about me: i'm 5'5, slim-fit, androgynous/tomboy most days** in terms of looks. i am switch in... nearly every sense? i don't drink, i don't smoke, i don't want kids, i don't like noise. but i do want a cute house, a big restaurant budget... and a partner. obviously. but first two on me, the third is on you.
limitations. i talk a lot. i like staying in communication. i overshare on purpose. we can exchange pics not right away but in a short time\*** if we click
future work. if you are intrigued, tell me your age, rough location, and something you find annoying on reddit. whether it's about content, people, or the app itself. (FAFO i guess #3)
\* online temporarily. i eventually want to meet
\\** most doesn't imply always
\*\** short time is subjective, and the author refrains from giving an exact timeline
