McCarthyism, Southern Strategy, three letter agencies spending decades actively targeting/murdering activists; yeah it’s been rough.

Hide your hands now while you still have them

I loved specific fruit as a kid. Bananas, grapes, and watermelon? Hell yeah. Apples and honeydew? Death glare for suggesting it.

I and my sibling also got fiendish for salad and fresh vegetables but hated frozen.

I’d wager that just like with adults, every kid is different.

It starts with dissociation and eventually evolves into derealization and depersonalization before you know it ♪~ ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

For me personally, anything times 5 can be reached by halving the number, then multiplying that number by 10.

Example: 66 x 5 = Y

• (66/2) x (5x2) = Y

  • cancel out the division by creating equal multiplication in the other number

  • 66/2 = 33

  • 5x2 = 10

• 33 x 10 = Y

• 33 x 10 = 330

• Y = 330

I’m going to hold onto the spark of your optimism until I can light my own; your perspective does help and I hadn’t considered it. Thank you /gen /pos

One can only hope, but knowing how fucking stupid my right-wing, sycophantic, fellow countrymen are I doubt much will change.

Pretty sure everyone who voted against him already hates him though.

Hyper-fixating on something keeps me away from the kitchen, for better or worse. Same with sleep ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yes.

“Gagged”: restrained from speaking; with a cloth or special device to block one’s mouth.

“Sub”: submissive person, used in a sexual context here.

Autistic people are stereotypically intensely invested in certain topics, called “special interests.” The “famous” one is trains but mine are cats, video game history, and Pixar movies to give broader examples.

Due to this intense investment/focus/etc. in the special interest, autistic people tend to know a lot of facts about them and care about factual correctness (stereotypically).

Someone spouting knowingly made up facts about an autistic person’s special interest, and the autistic person can’t respond/correct the other because they’re gagged would probably cause some pretty intense frustration.

Some find that frustration to elevate sexual arousal ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Autocorrect just bailed on her lmao

“I’m a prick but I also like to smoke weed”

The 2000s smelled like new tech plastic, the static from CRTs, microwave dinners, pump hand soap, and grass.

2010s smelled like hibiscus, then beach sand, then sickly sweet and rubbing alcohol.

ETA: Gas fumes were also part of the ‘00s

Lol nice one

I think the joke is that a vocal chunk of the user base here also uses Linux

Assuming the maze is a hedge maze (or, in the US, a corn maze instead) I’d plant a buttload of catnip along the paths and build in some feline-friendly sheltering.

Takes care of pest control and you get the pleasant surprise of kitties on your way in!

And set up a non-profit operation or co-op or something in the house.

Video tutorials without captions/instead of text. I don’t want to watch someone fumble through over 30 minutes what I can skim in 5.

Good satire comment but unfortunately tone doesn’t translate well over text.

Remember when FOP casually depicted mpreg in a children’s cartoon?

Baptism by fire ¯\(ツ)/¯

All hail the wiki 🙌🏻
