  • I hear she's running for governor of California! That would be amazing. Fuck Newsom.

  • This isn't a fucking meme. It's a great quote, but doesn't belong here.

  • It's called negativity bias. It's an evolved trait passed down from our ancestors. Only the people with anxiety who devoted a lot of conscious thought to unpleasant possibilities lived long enough to reproduce, passing on those tendencies.

    I'm not sure if ADHD has anything to do with it, but it's possible that there's even more focus on negativity as a result.

  • This is a very inefficient method of telling everyone that you don't know how to camp for shit.

  • The Democrats in charge benefit from the status quo. It's that simple. They would prefer to let Republicans win elections if the only other option is letting a pro worker candidate win.

  • Peanut butter is literally my favorite food but I wouldn't take a single bite of this thing. There's like 40 grams of sugar here. I ain't 12.

  • I definitely have trouble detecting jokes.

  • I'm no fan of Joe Biden, but don't you think his oldest son dying of brain cancer at age 46 may have had something to do with this? I also read that the type of cancer Joe Biden has is fast moving. It's possible (although hard to believe considering he was lying about trying to get a ceasefire in Gaza) that he didn't know about the cancer when this picture was taken in 2019.

  • It's refreshing that this article used the phrase "half a million" instead of the way the American protests have been framed as "tens of thousands" when they know damn well that it was millions.

    I hope we get more Palestine focused protests!

  • I've done some reading about CPTSD and it's... surreal to read about something that so perfectly explains my situation. Autism itself isn't a disability, but rather it's CPTSD that does the disabling.

    I'll have to check out those videos. I appreciate the suggestion.

    While Cyberpunk is indeed not a happy game I still greatly appreciate the maturity, the heavy themes, and the critiques of American society and capitalism. Even the romances are mature and well written.

  • Luckily I haven't had to explain it to anyone yet, as I am a security guard and spend the majority of my time at work alone. Security can be a great job for people on the spectrum. It's important to note that unarmed security is the chill kind where you rarely have to actually deal with people.

    I don't have any interest in being an armed guard. That shit sounds stressful.

  • I have a lifetime of unprocessed trauma leaking into my every day life. I was put on antidepressants when I was 12 and weened myself off of them when I was 31. Taking the lid off Pandora's box has overall improved my life but every once in a while something will trigger repressed emotions and I'll have a period of a few days to a few weeks where I can't stop crying. It's pure, unfiltered grief. And it comes in waves.

    This time it was Cyberpunk 2077. I had heard that this game was emotional, so I was prepared for the effect it was always going to have on me. Or at least I thought I was prepared. A particular storyline put a large hole in the dam holding everything back. I do appreciate it when a piece of media can punch a hole in my dam, as it needs to happen, but I sure am fucked up right now.

    Crying in public and at work isn't fun.

  • I was like this. I was diagnosed at 28 years old, and now I'm 39. The last remnants of my extroverted tendencies are dying, though. I recently had two friends ghost me because of trauma influenced behavior that I was experiencing. People pretend they're tolerant of autism riiiiiiiight up until something genuinely difficult happens. Then you get to see how your "friendship" was based on a masked version of you and therefore completely fake.

    Someone I thought I had a 20 year "friendship" with ghosted me with zero explanation after I moved 1600 miles across the country to live closer to. My extraverted tendencies cause more harm than the loneliness that comes with introversion. It's just not worth it.

  • The beginning of "Up" isn't sad, it's bittersweet. It shows that obtaining the best things in life always leads to hardship because nothing is permanent. The rest of the movie shows you that it's still worth obtaining things that don't last.

  • Good job

  • But it's offensive to apes.

  • Bad enough that I cannot handle music with lyrics, with a few exceptions. Genres like post-rock are all I listen to.

  • His last name, obviously. His ancestor getting his brains blown out gave him his entire career.
