FOSS addiction pipeline summed up in one sentence

Looking at it, YDI mate.

I’m not vegan myself but going into “sweetie + laughing emoji” territory with someone unprovoked, especially over phrasing, is, well, silly.

My apologies- to clarify my sympathy was about being treated as needing medication for your ability to see the world differently.

Thank you for the info dump actually! I’m also autistic and getting to learn about how you experience, process and approach things has been enlightening and fascinating (in a respectful, peer-to-peer way of course).

There is certainly something to be said for both finding you’re not alone in a unique situation, and learning to embrace the way you are to navigate a better life. It’s awesome that you did all that for your kids too; they’re very lucky.

Considering emotions very much have a physical bodily/chemical manifestation it makes perfect sense that a synesthete could experience that. I’m sorry you had to go through all that.

The real trick is to make a list of things to do to avoid doing the things on your to do list /s

Maybe it’s like when humans feed crows or feral cats.

They see us as weird lil critters but it’s fun to befriend a smaller species and hang out sometimes.

I had to work with windows last night and it was repeatedly deleting programs against my consent no matter what antivirus settings I tried to turn off (“quarantining” Produkey, off of my flash drive not even the drive windows was installed on) so yes. Fuck that guy and burn his house down 😁

HP laptops are like that, unfortunately.

They have the money but probably aren’t allowed in the stores to buy it themselves.

It’s either

1.) Facilitating the financial self-sufficiency of local avian wildlife or

2.) The bird equivalent of buying alcohol for your kid cousins who are standing outside the liquor store.

The Phantom Tollbooth. I adored the surrealism and whimsy, probably reread it at least six times.

Sun Haven on Switch, it finally got an update to make it playable after 7 months and it’s actually quite fun when you can play it properly.

Emails + passwords that are often reused is the key more so than doxxing people.

Hell yeah Indonesia.

Samsung, Roku, Hisense or Vizio?

I hate my family’s two year old Samsung for that reason + the forced ads. Had to put a parental lock just to not be subjected to trashy decade-old reality TV shows when I turn on the power.

My Insignia is also slow despite only being…I think 4-5 years old too. At least I can install apps on it.

I typically just pull up moonlight and stream from my PC but I also have beefy hardware. Not sure how much of a solution that’d be for you.

Second hand Firestick is also an okay option.

Pre-meds I quite literally did not know what relaxing was supposed to feel like.

“What do you mean quiet? Brains aren’t supposed to constantly sound like a radio between channels in the middle of the mountains?”

I forgot to eat lunch today.

Not “oh I’m not hungry, I’ll skip it.”

Straight up forgot until I got home from errands.

Best I could come across. Can’t access the other archive sites atm for some reason.

The good ones go too young

Lil dudes just like “okay why am I here tho”

Emotional support water bottles are human nature confirmed
