These are also the same people who prefer kids act as bullet sponges during school hours, then groom/coerce encourage the survivors just before they come of age to be rapists, pillagers, and murderers bullet sponges to fuel corporate and imperialist interests “defend the country.”

Bonus points for tossing veterans aside like trash the moment they step foot back on US soil 🤡

There’s an extra layer of schadenfreude for these pricks when the deceased are poor, brown, and/or of (nonwhite) immigrant background.

Let’s just say I wouldn’t cry reading the obituary of a forced birther. /rant

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

Theoretically you can spin up a used thinkpad from a yard sale and run steam. Nintendo doesn’t (legally) run on anything that’s not Nintendo branded ¯_(ツ)_/¯

There were games on sale I bought on impulse that I’ve dumped plenty of hours into.

Super Mario Odyssey - bought it while I was waiting for Tears of the Kingdom to release, replayed it at least three times. Same with Mario + Rabbids.

Lots of indie games - Slime Rancher, Cat Quest II, both Cattails games, Sprout Valley. All in the replay pile and some of my favorites.

Got my money’s worth and then some, plus I wouldn’t have given them a chance if I was hesitant ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You make a great point.

I fire off comments without thinking much at about the same rate as I did on the other website but get replies on about ~50-60% here vs. ~20% on centralized media.

It’s really nice honestly. /gen

(And people are much nicer about tone tags here!)

“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)_/¯

This is oddly comforting. So many websites and opinion articles push the idea of painstakingly tailoring a resume, then hunting down the listing on the website and re-filling in that same resume twice.

On top of that they make you feel like you’re the problem when that doesn’t work and you’ve wasted three hours of your time to maybe get rejected six weeks later.

Thank you for being honest. This will save a lot of time and stress going forward. /gen

Butt cleavage maybe? Undercheek?

Nothing promotes healing quite like having to trek out, expose yourself to more germs and stress over a f@&!ing piece of paper. /s

Glad your boss is chill at least. Hope you feel better!

Wasn’t my cup of tea personally but off top of my head the US sitcom The Middle is pretty solidly working-class focused, or at least from what I remember. Also thank you for putting this to words, I feel the same way.

This is exactly why I hated live-action Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows/movies growing up in the 2000s starting with Hannah Montana.

I was never able to articulate why I was repulsed by those series and was considered a contrarian little weirdo, lol. /rant

Baptism by fire ¯\(ツ)/¯

All hail the wiki 🙌🏻
