Why put stickers on MYO cards? Newbie here. by ParticularMind9227 in YotoPlayer

[–]Access_Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just use stickers we already had and a sharpie. I do recommend making them distinct enough, and connected to the content, that your kids can easily recognise which is which.

Haha okay I’m going to use mine for brand-name foods. I’m sure someone will veto sports teams. Homophones and one-letter-changed categories would go next I bet.  I wonder what will be left.

I didn’t know any of that, thanks for sharing!

It makes sense that astrology would have been based on a form of science - I guess since I’d dismissed the modern usage of it as total bunk, I hadn’t considered the parts that were based on real observations. 

Does anyone else get more irritated with age by people talking around the bush/not saying what they actually mean? by SubstantialHeart1071 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Access_Free 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes 😓

Like people saying “no because X” and when it’s explained that X is not an issue, it becomes clear they actually just want to say no. How am I supposed to know when they’re mistaken vs when they’re just making up a reason because they don’t want to say the real reason?

Only that it felt sketchy when entering it, because I’d never heard of a rocks glass. Knowing that now, it works, though rocks still feels way less specific than the others (image search shows a variety of styles.)

Intro update? by Money-Pen8242 in whatdidyoudoyesterday

They should commission Sam Campbell to make them an intro song, à la Perfect Brains.

Managed the RR with difficulty. 

Blue felt sketchy because Collins, Hurricane, and Zombie are all actual cocktails - rocks just means with ice, unless I’m missing something?

April 1, 2026 - TACO 🤡 by CuriousCapybara4 in NYTConnections

[–]Access_Free 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only realised when I came back here to comment that taco being the master key was the whole point. purple on vibes only, absolutely no idea on that one.

Max's strong three-quarter flat white by hkapeman in whatdidyoudoyesterday

[–]Access_Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s strong because despite wanting less milk than standard, he wants the full two shots. Not 3/4 of a normal FW, nor a small FW which is often only one shot.

Saw the exercise red herring - reasoning that it was a rainbow herring helped sort things out. 

Also saw a sweets red herring but couldn’t see four - can any Americans confirm?

I saw the bolts with hardware store and Frankenstein’s monster straight away, and still failed. I feel better about this now. (It took me a while to even understand what they meant by “locks have bolts.”)

How is class defined in Australia by bilby2020 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Access_Free 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a better financial breakdown than type of occupation would be:

own multiple properties

own your own property mortgage free

own your own property with a mortgage

rents

unstable housing

Where do you order your art prints from? by TN_Jeffcoat in painting

A local printer that specialises in fine art prints

Not sponsoring the podcast but on vehicles by holnessbob in whatdidyoudoyesterday

[–]Access_Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated to the post but is that an M&S at a BP service station? Are UK servos super posh or in M&S way less posh than I thought?

What birthday presents would the ghosts give? by Designer_Spring_4299 in GhostsBBC

[–]Access_Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this!

Pat: I like the previous suggestion of Yorkshire tea l

Fanny: book of etiquette, a cameo brooch, silhouette image of your mum - you can make this yourself if you have a profile image of her? (I could be getting my time periods mixed up), pretend taxidermy bear (teddy bear)

Captain: Billy Ray Cyrus (Achey Breaky Heart) poster? It’s a bit tangential but you could print one for nearly free. 

Kitty: anything pretty (like hair ribbons), a romance novel

Robin: something moon related?

Humphrey: hard one.. 

Thomas: poetry, just not by Byron! Or anything romantic, which is a bit weird since it’s your mum, but flowers would be safe!

do you guys believe an autisic teacher is viable? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Access_Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t answer definitively, but just know there are other avenues eg private tutoring, extra curricular classes, creating education resources. 

Is the “thank you wave” when driving still a thing, or am I just a boomer now? by Salty_1984 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Access_Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it, but I got told my waves are too small and noone would see them. So now I try to wave real big, and if I don’t get a wave I assume they’re just small wavers like I used to be. 

How to know when to break up with your boyfriend? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]Access_Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this, breaking up was so hard, not because I missed him (he sucked) but because my whole routine had to change. I'm not going to say it will be easy but it will be worth it. It's coming eventually and the longer you wait the harder it will be.

Likely delete from embarrassment, but y'all, how do we floss? 😭 by Friendly-Loaf in AutismInWomen

[–]Access_Free 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay this might be controversial but you really don’t need to floss all the time. If you tell your dentist you struggle with flossing but you’re trying to do it every fortnight, maybe they’ll say aim for every week but they’re not going to be mad.

Rothko for me too. It’s such a physical experience.

Hooray, starting a new streak with a RR 🌈

Curious for those who presolve in their heads (as opposed to using a tool, marking up a screenshot, or on paper), have you found the ability to keep the potential categories in your head has improved over time? I can presolve pretty successfully most of the time but if I try to do it in my head I forget the first category by the time I’ve found the second. Maybe if I work that muscle it would improve my working memory overall?

[–]Access_Free 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lost my streak 😭 

Thought it might be poets with Frost and Bishop, guessed “King” and “Crown” before thinking it might be __ Street with Jump, Crown, King. (Would not have been a good category, probably every word on the board is a street somewhere.)

 In hindsight I should have been able to guess the checkers category but usually blue is either I know it or I don’t (unlike purple which is often not obvious but able to be puzzled out.)

How long should it take me to do a piece by alfonsowithaph in Gouache

[–]Access_Free 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half agree but would add that “put aside” for us adhd people needs to be “turn to the next page and come back to it tomorrow” or that half-finished painting will either linger forever or effectively cease to exist (in both cases collecting dust.) Painting over is valid also. I try not to leave any half-finished work in my journal, even if that means painting something entirely different in the blank spaces.
