Avra on Nostr: When I have to move a chair that doesn't fold, I may well be able to lift it myself, ...
When I have to move a chair that doesn't fold, I may well be able to lift it myself, but I really need a second person carrying the legs, because the chair is too *bulky*.
Suppose I've made, like, so much moonshine that I really need barrels to store it in, but those would attract unwanted attention because it's Prohibition or something, so I have to fill my truck with the bottles, and it's inconvenient. But neither the moonshine nor the bottles it's in are *bulky*. How do I succinctly describe the moonshine's inconvenient quality?
I need this word for an analogy to describe a common mental problem with my flavor of autism, which I currently call "bulky context," as I find context switching *inconvenient*, but not actually difficult, as long as I don't need to do a bunch of contexts in a row. But I also want to capture how context, for me, is unusually *fluid*, and may escape the container I've put it in if I don't pay attention.
