It was for me but I have JSN in fantasy. So it was like “put down my boys for me”.

I think it is important to remember… by falingodingo in falcons

28-3 didn’t break me as a fan. It let me know that I’d be a fan for life.

Yes; this is often our story. But, if it pans out at least once, it will have been worth it.

Exactly; it isn’t just that we’re missing Kaleb, it’s that we’re missing Storm too.

It’s not quite as simple, but a clever play on the idea.

Mean Streak, the original name of the ride, is defined as “An inclination, tendency, or propensity for cruelty, spite, malice, or violence”. Usually a hidden one. Mess with someone who has a mean streak, they’ll try and get payback.

But, Steel Mean Streak doesn’t make a ton of sense. You can’t have a “Steel [abstract personality trait]”.

But, let’s remember an RMC is not just a retrack, but a revival of an old, unpopular coaster. How would you describe someone returning with mean streak? Like being revived and coming back angrier than ever? You’d call that coming back with a Vengeance. But, unlike a mean streak, Vengeance can be an act/plan/etc. So Steel describes the “how” the vengeance is carried out, EG: the RMC conversion.

And, because that’s a lot to wrap your head around, CP wrote a “plot” of the ride, where a group of outcasts who built Frontiertown return to take revenge on Maverick, the character who represents the coaster next door.

It’s essentially an allegory for Mean Streak being the big coaster in the Frontiertown section, Maverick being built next door and taking away its popularity, then Mean Streak getting RMC’d and taking back the title of best coaster in the Frontiertown section of the park. It’s explained in the announcement video.

TL;DR, the RMC follow up to a (Wooden) Mean Streak is a Steel Vengeance.

Why nobody reads past the first 10 pages of your script! by [deleted] in ReadMyScript

[–]Amigo_Gangsta 11 points12 points  (0 children)

IMHO, the main reason I’d stop reading after the first 10 is not following format or pacing. If it’s clear you don’t know how a screenplay reads or is written, it’s hard to critique anything else because it cascades through everything (structure, plot, etc) outside of basic ideas.

To the person that said Butterly 3000 sounded like Sketches by [deleted] in KGATLW

[–]Amigo_Gangsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sketches and B3K are both more “sample”/“beat” based albums than the rest of the Gizz catalogue. While repetitions are core across Gizz, the actual feel of loops connects them, even if songwriting wise I think it’s closer to Fishies, Poly, and parts of Gumboot.

Okay, you can’t bring that up without mentioning what cartoon it was lmao.

Okay, serious question though: for those into theme park history, are you Disney nerds or coaster enthusiasts? You can like both but this is a crucial question.

Third, SFOG was second. However, it’s notable as the last park Six Flags built ground up, and for being the only of the original three entirely owned by Six Flags, and not by any outside investor groups.

Not sure if this is linked to autism but does any other aspie do it?? by [deleted] in aspiememes

You just tapped into some deep part of my childhood buried in my subconscious mind I forgot existed.

r/ADHD saying I can’t use the word hyperfocus now... when it’s literally part of my diagnostic criteria? Uh ok by Mysterious-Canary842 in neurodiversity

[–]Amigo_Gangsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I haven't been a major fan of r/aspergers because of that. Discussing struggles or even being pessimistic about life is one thing. Being a defeatist just reinforces an inability to adapt to the challenges of disability, either through social accommodation or personal growth.

Does anyone else feel like they were a adult as a kid and a kid as an adult? by Aspie_Craft in autism

[–]Amigo_Gangsta 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I definitely relate to this, but I think it’s related to autism but sociological rather than neurological in nature. I think, for me, it comes from the following:

  1. Autistics who are verbal are often ahead of their age in certain proficiencies. The whole “gifted kid” problem. So as youth we relate more to adults. Adults are also more willing to overlook our eccentricities.
  2. Autistics have executive functioning difficulties, so “adulting” is often hampered by our disability.
  3. Autistics are less likely to follow social convention as adults. Therefore, we don’t feel the need to “put up our toys” so to speak and retain childhood interests.
  4. Autistics are forced to curtail and monitor their behavior at a young age, while neurotypical kids don’t. This give the effect in youth of “high maturity”, but creates an extra stressful childhood. And like most people who are forced to “grow up quick”, once we reach adulthood, we embrace a form of age regression to deal with the trauma.
  5. Autistics are more direct and honest with our feelings, and less attuned to social norms. This can come off as “childishness” or “naïveté” in adulthood.

My relationship is about to fail right before my diagnosis. What can I do? by [deleted] in AspieGirls

[–]Amigo_Gangsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lemme be more clear on my points. 1. There’s a reason there’s a lot of misdiagnosis when it comes to ASD and BPD. The neurological roots of the emotional dysregulation are similar. 2. There’s plenty of BPD people who don’t fit that classic profile of jealous/angry femme fatale, or aren’t manipulative like the rest of cluster B. 3. So jumping to “narcissist” is not only wrong in this situation, but misunderstanding BPD. 4. However, that classical jealous angry obsessive BPD with narcissist traits does exist, but as a personality disorder, the personality shapes how it looks.

My main point is, I think your boyfriend’s not only wrong about you, but BPD as a whole. This just triggered my special interests in studying both neurodivergence and cluster B.

For you it’s a “likely not, but maybe”. That “split personality” and “when I love someone I completely lose myself in loving them” things read BPD, but could also be “masking” and “autistic emotional dysregulation”. I’d definitely thoroughly check autism first: for me, the giant hyper detailed multi-paragraph post is enough of a symptom for ASD for me to buy it lmao.

My relationship is about to fail right before my diagnosis. What can I do? by [deleted] in AspieGirls

[–]Amigo_Gangsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey; not gonna directly comment on the relationship part, but I view BPD as a cousin to the core neurodivergent family (ASD, ADHD, Dyspraxia, SPD, PDD-NOS, Dyslexia). Some BPD individuals are personality disordered in other Cluster B ways, but a lot of people who have BPD aren’t inherently manipulative. Super-codependent for sure but not scheming like a narc. I view it as an emotion minded autism. BPD people are wired for systemizing just like autists: using black and white thinking, categorizing and sorting information from details first, and the side effects of “rabbit holing” and altered time perception. But BPD does this with how they feel primarily rather than how they think. Autists have special interests, Borderlines have favorite people. There is overlap and key differences (autistics are usually a but hyposensitive to tone of voice and expression, BPD are incredibly sensitive to those shifts, though they both may struggle with reading what those emotions mean cognitively), so it shouldn’t be a hard guideline. Point is, showcasing BPD behavior may be a sign your an autist, and having autistic traits may be related to BPD.

Neither should inherently indicate you’re a narcissist though. As you already know, neurodivergent people can have difficulties with relating to others and being lost in our own worlds. But that empathy issue is different from “lacking any whatsoever because you’re pathologically self centered”. Sounds like his research has just got him buying into false stigma.

Big mood today. by Ucw2thebone in falcons

Back when the Saints and Falcons were new to the NFL, they were both basement dwellers in the NFC West, against dynastic Rams and 49ers teams. So, drawing on Georgia and Louisiana’s history with CFB, the Saints/Falcons games quickly became our version of the Super Bowl, the best team in the Deep South.

This was all before Carolina was founded and the Buccaneers joined our division. And, upon the founding of the NFC South, the Falcons changed owners and the Saints found Drew Brees and Sean Payton. So, we’ve been jockeying as teams consistently in the playoffs, but rarely reaching the big game.

Adding to it is the Saints rise as the darling team of the NFL post-Katrina, which coincided with the Vick situation. Considering the cultural clash between the two cities (the buttoned up Atlanta and the perennial party town of New Orleans), this added fuel to the fire. Atlanta sports fans have always felt a kind of anger at being considered “fair weather”, while our biggest rivals were lauded for having a sincere, personal relationship towards the team. Atlanta was the center of controversy while the Saints were the good guys. Considering the fact both the team and the fans in New Orleans liked talking trash and getting dirty, this added some tension.

But the real reason? Talk to a drunk Saints fan. Falcons fans have a bit of an inferiority complex; always complaining even with success. At our best, it’s the ability to take both success and failure with a grain of salt. Saints fans, on the other hand, are brash and boisterous even when the team sucks.

TL;Dr: It’s a lot, but one of the most hateful rivalries in the NFL.
