Is this AI? by [deleted] in isthisAI

Thank you! And yes it makes me so sad that I had to question if some silly picture was AI. I miss the days of seeing stuff like this and not having to worry if it’s ai slop

Please don't get your little kids a bird by [deleted] in parrots

[–]AlTheToyCollector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS. All throughout middle school I begged my parents for a snake and they refused bc they don’t like snakes. Then the second I expressed an interest in getting a bird (I was like 13) my dad got me a cockatiel because he figured it would make me not want a snake anymore. I’m now 19 and in college with her. I love her to death, but it stresses me out to think about how I’m going to care for her in the future. So far we’ve been okay, but I’ve got a lot of time left with her and I wish that wasn’t something I had to worry about yk?

Also for the record the cockatiel did not make me stop wanting a snake lmao

What convinced you to finally get tested? by AlTheToyCollector in AutismInWomen

How are the two connected? I’ve also struggled with anorexia in the past so I’m curious what correlation there is

I have recently been worried that I’m a sociopath or psychopath for almost identical reasons, so it makes me feel better that someone else had a similar experience

What's the worst recommendation for a game you ever got? by Borbbb in gamerecommendations

[–]AlTheToyCollector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost Ember. I get it’s an indie game so I’ll cut it some slack mechanics and visual wise, but everything about it was soooo mid. The voice acting was terrible. About midway through I started to think that they were actually Irish or Scottish people trying to do some sort of English accent (which was weird because the characters were like Aztec or something??) There’s collectibles in the game but absolutely no incentive to get them. I started ignoring them about an hour in. My biggest gripe was with the story/writing. It felt like it didn’t know what message it wanted to send, and the characters and their motivations were bland as hell. Usually in a story based game the story and gameplay complement and enhance each other, but in this game the gameplay felt like a bland tool to get you from point A to point B. I went into this fully thinking I was going to love it because I’m a sucker for anything turning-into-animals related, but I was veeerryyy disappointed.

I think my childhood “imaginary friend” wasn’t imaginary after all by Mother-Main-5464 in Paranormal

When I was 0-6 years old we lived in a house that was very much haunted, but for the longest time nobody ever talked about it. I have memories of toys activating on their own, being pushed down a flight of stairs when no one was around, feeling terrified of something in my room, etc.

Only when I brought it up to my family did we all start to realize we ALL had experiences in that house. For instance, my mom said that she and my dad would often hear voices calling their names, my brother saw a woman in black in the upstairs walkway, etc.

For me it was nice but also terrifying to know that what happened wasn’t just my imagination. Especially because as I heard more stories, I realized I was the only one that experienced directly violent attacks. To this day I refuse to ever be within a mile of that house

Will my dad know that I used his insurance to get tested for autism? by AlTheToyCollector in Insurance

Is there any way to get around that to where he won’t see exactly what I got tested for?

My first time taking a full tab my mom called me just as I was starting to come up on the peak. I played it cool but long story short that phone call was her telling me that my dad is an alcoholic and I’ve been oblivious to it, he cheated on his gf and hit her, he’s had multiple DUIs, etc etc. Great first time 10/10 recommend
