Meltdowns and being verbal
  • Seeing it again yeah lol

  • Meltdowns and being verbal
  • For me a lot of meltdowns feel like spiraling. Unable to communicate how I feel, feeling alone/separated, racing thoughts that run the gamete from anxious to depressing. Typically I want to reach out and connect to someone but I can't and that makes it worse somehow. It's scary to deal with especially as a lot of it feels so irrational yet it has a real impact.

  • What is everyone's most-enjoyed show so far this season? [Summer 2024]
  • Oshi no Ko S2 has been satisfying so far. This has been a really bleh season of anime overall for me. Heavy fan service and/or a step away from outright hentai will keep me from watching something and this summer has felt like a lot of fetishy stuff. And since most shows revolve around teens I just can't watch that stuff.

  • I thought I was the only one that ever had hands this itchy
  • I get this, but in my feet. Just have to rub the bottom of my foot on something and hope for the best. Suuuuucks.

  • Sources: Chiefs make Butker NFL's richest kicker
  • He's a fine kicker, but an absolute chud and I hate they gave him all that money.

    Inb4 banned for pointing out the truth
  • Nice debunked conspiracy theories pushed by the GOP to vilify the 'other'. I'd say try harder but you're clearly a tool of the fascists.

  • Why did no one tell me that blue jays are kind of big?
  • Yes! Educating people on the value of Blue Jays and trying to dispell the myths about them is important. Know my mom constantly is telling coworkers and others about how the Blue Jays get a bad rap. The ones around us have a mile plus wide communication network that gets the word out about predators and food being available. Kind of cool to hear them if you're on a walk and then see the hawk they're chasing/warning about.

  • is autism coded characters a thing?
  • No experience with that book, but a lot of literature has autistim coded characters. Lot, well sort of, debate in the Warhammer 40k communities about a fair number of autism coded characters there. I can't remember who all they've said since I avoid a lot of the conversations but if I remember right a fair number of Space Marines, and their 'traitor' brethren are 'autistic'.

  • Why did no one tell me that blue jays are kind of big?
  • This sentiment always makes me laugh. We have a large family or three that live in the area and hang out on our feeder and water. They get pushed around by the morning doves, woodpeckers and sparrows. Cardinals and house finches spaz out on their own and fly off.

  • the data does not lie
  • Reanimation is soooo good. Still have my original copy of Hybrid Theory and it's great, but the edits on Reanimation just work really well. Meteora is good though their constant experimentation can make some stinkers.

  • What are you into on Destiny lately?
  • I loved the campaign and had a lot of fun initially post campaign. But with more and more of the content locked behind 'having a group' I've found myself playing less and less. The pinnacle grind has been painful so far, especially as stuff will drop at a point that's useful, other times the same content will drop it lower, and even other times the same content won't drop anything. It's just all putting me off. Especially the insane damage that's going out now. Dying 40 times in a match made thing because the enemies one shot is boring.

  • Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage
  • More like slowly moved off stage while his head was fully exposed so he could do his sieg heil fist pump combo.

  • Biden Reportedly Considers Dropping Out as Polls Show Him Losing Key States
  • We're definitely fucked. The media has done a bang up job of protecting Trump while pushing fascist talking points to make Biden look bad. Dems don't have a candidate that would rally the base. Maybe Newsom but I doubt it. Especially this late.

  • What were your thoughts at the end of this Spring 2024 season?
  • Started off feeling really strong, but found myself dropping a lot of stuff. On the fence about Dedede Demons since it feels like it could be interesting or just boring bait. This season of Yuru Camp /_\ has been good. Not as strong as S1 but much more fun than S2. 7th Prince toes a line but has been fun. Jellyfish Can't Swim is really good though maybe one or two clunky episodes. Re:Monster started off interesting but by episode 2 or 3 it was clearly an edgy self insert desire fest built on rape and 'hur hur me MC', so... fuck that show.

    I've watched maybe 60 to 70% of what has aired this season and it's been an okay season anime. Some surprises and returns to excellence (Sound! being back was nice). But also a lot of unmemorable shows that hovered around a 5 or 6.

    Requiring self improvement goals from an autistic roommate
  • As someone who has matched this description, still do but in different ways, forcing your idea of 'normal' on them isn't going to help them. It's more to make yourself feel better.

    Life sucks. It's not your choice how they cope with the suck. Also that you think they'll just be able to start going on dates or whatever is laughable to me. But that's me. I empathize with your roommate in so many ways and fully hope they pack their stuff and leave instead of putting up with your 'good intentions'.

  • TWID - 6/20/2024
  • Oh. The article was confusing to me since they were referencing everything at once.

  • TWID - 6/20/2024
  • So they're going to make stuff kill us faster AND be spongier.

  • Were any of you able to get into The Final Shape today?
  • Took me 4 1/2 hours to get in for 20 min. Then couldn't play the rest of the night due to currants. :/

  • Netflix gets the NFL: Three-year deal starts this season on Christmas
  • Yeah that's pretty ridiculous. In the KC market the Royals (MLB) are only on Fox Sports (in some like KC specific package), Chiefs are on broadcast tv, Sporting (MLS) is only on Apple TV I think now. We have no NHL or NBA team but those are all on various cable channels and/or ESPN plus.

    More and more stuff is forced onto cable (like almost all of March Madness was only on cable tv). And of course all the stuff split out onto streaming stuff. It's such a shitshow and only getting worse.

  • Netflix gets the NFL: Three-year deal starts this season on Christmas
  • In the Kansas City market you get one game a week and it's a random game on Saturdays. Not really interested in the MLB but it's so ridiculous to me that if I was I'd have to get like 3 different subscriptions. But we don't get anything but golf, nascar, and NFL in this market on TV. And the rare NBA game around Christmas and then some of the finals stuff.

  • Being 'to negative'

    So I'm a shut-in with a ton of problems and no money. My life revolves around World of Warcraft and Destiny 2 which is sad in its own right I'm sure. Anyway every single time I try to find a community (guild or clan) it goes to hell within a month or so. They always say I'm too negative about the game or my performance. No matter what I do/say it apparently always comes across as 'negative' and they see it as hurting their community. Funny enough these communities are always dead and I'm talking into a void trying to engage people.

    Sorry I'm not sure why I'm posting this. Just had another group tell me I was getting kicked due to negativity and I'm so tired of it. I don't have any friends, I'm always starting over from scratch and even if I try my hardest it still ends the same way. Don't even feel that I'm being negative since I just say bugs me. Sorry. Feel like I could cry, because of everything, and I can't even do that.
