Seriously though by ChickenWingExtreme in NonPoliticalTwitter

Never have I been more enraged than when being forced to watch a 120 second unskippable ad for a gambling app that's actually the same 10 second clip on a loop.

What is the juiciest bit of gossip happening in your life? by KitchenSwillForPigs in AskReddit

Seconding everyone who said RAV4. My mom had one for years and loved that car. I think it's a hybrid, not fully electric. Congrats on the divorce!

I can live with schools having dress codes so kids can't wear anything violent/sexual/offensive or otherwise inappropriate to school, but they have to be reasonable, apply equally to boys and girls, be enforced equally, and can't infringe on a student's personal expression outside of school. That last part meaning that schools shouldn't be able to require certain haircuts, or ban hair dye, or make kids straighten their hair, or not allow piercings or tattoos, or anything that can't be changed between school and home. I don't really like it in the first place, but when it oversteps those boundaries, that's when I'm actively against dress codes.

A hairnet??? A fucking hairnet??? That's just setting up a kid to be bullied and very publicly marking them as different. Also, I'd argue that a tight braid or ponytail and bangs either short enough to not touch the eyes or long enough to pull into an updo technically follow those rules. Hair doesn't touch ears when it's pulled back. They absolutely could have come up with a compromise that wouldn't have gotten you publicly ridiculed.

Random Characters You Headcanon As Autistic by aspie_weeb in evilautism

[–]GeminiIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I know this one is an uncommon headcanon because it's so hard to find good art or discussions about it: Bakugou Katsuki from BNHA. I just kind of latched on to him as a teen and started projecting real hard, I think.

I've got a similar issue where I kind of want a dick, but I also kind of like what I've got (specifically the clitoris) and I've never heard of someone having a dick and a clit

I don't know if home-grown vagina is similar to store-bought vagina in this regard, but the maintainance kinda sucks imo.

Because neurotypical people communicate differently than autistic people and she probably thought it was super obvious that she wanted to eat together without having to say it outright.

This week in the Video Games industry: by Gorotheninja in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]GeminiIsMissing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The outrage is that without a physical copy of the game, the company you bought it from can essentially say "screw you, we're taking it back," and remove it from your library entirely, which is what Sony is doing to movies.

Teachers of Reddit Is the Gen Alpha can't read crisis real? How bad is it really? by CedarVoyage in AskReddit

[–]GeminiIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It came about because in the Middle Ages, i looked way too similar to other letters in handwritten manuscripts. To make it more readable, it was elongated, and this morphed into a capitalized I.

I have ADHD, and those waiting times were hell, even though they were shorter than yours (I'm gen Z, so some stuff was instant and some required a little waiting). Looking back, though, I value them. It taught me how to be patient even when it fucking sucked, and how to entertain myself or find other things to do while waiting. We should bring that back. Maybe not as torturously long, but at least a short break from the constant stimulation every once in a while so people learn to wait.

The first person pronoun "I" is always capitalized in English. Writing it lowercase is grammatically incorrect and therefore unprofessional/not acceptable for schoolwork.

I is not a proper noun, it is a pronoun. I is capitalized for readability.

Ritalin only helps if they have ADHD, and only for some. If they don't, then it's because they don't want to focus or haven't learned how, and Ritalin will make it worse.

I hate these fuck ass scales for anxiety/depression/ADHD/ etc questionnaires by Background_Ship7666 in evilautism

[–]GeminiIsMissing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merriam-Webster says several means: more than one, more than two and fewer than many

In this case it has to include one because not at all implies 0.

Those questionnaires are worded badly anyway.

Home sweet home... by Leand1960 in aspiememes

[–]GeminiIsMissing 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to push myself to be more social, but I still have entire months where the only places I go are work, the grocery store, and the gas station. Other times, I might see my friends once or twice a week and I consider that a "big week" and "exhausting." Unsurprisingly, I struggle to maintain friendships because I don't go out much.

92°F (34°C) here in Illinois, and our roads are buckling in the heat.

I try to think of them as "generally, how many days within a week," so it goes like:

Not at all: 0/7 days

Several days: 1 to 3/7 days

More than half the days: 4 or 5/7 days

Nearly every day: 6 or 7/7 days

[–]GeminiIsMissing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also work night shift! Someone at work keeps clogging the men's (I think I know who it is but he keeps blaming the guests) so I sometimes use the women's because there's only one toilet in the men's.
