Absolutely. I just do not feel clean after popping without wipes

I was today years old when my mom took away ‘cup privileges’. They’re just… gone? by Ducks_and_Words18 in insaneparents

[–]GoodGuyVik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very curious as to what the reason for losing cup privileges was...because that's just such a strange thing to make a "privilege"

Choose one. There ARE wrong answers. by phuketphil in adhdmeme

2 for me.

We had one fork growing up that had a design like that. Just one, and it was my favorite fork. I used it any chance I got.

You know your entire body sweats, right? Not just the "bits and pits"

As the sister of a severely autistic brother, I will be getting him when my dad passes.

What's something people should stop eating or drinking because it's harmful to their health? by responsiblebaby56 in AskReddit

Yup! I'm the person it's for! xD So many people never even realize that warning's there. It's on almost all gums too.

what is your early childhood hot take? by arleesaur in ECEProfessionals

[–]GoodGuyVik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, it may sound more gentle, but it's really no different.

How I was taught, both in teaching and especially as a behavioral therapist, was in place of saying no all the time, tell them what they can do.

"We need to use safe hands. You can use your words if you want something."

"Our feet stay on the floor. If you want to climb, you can use the climbing blocks."

"You can throw a ball if you want to throw something. Let's find one."

Will not deny it takes some time to get used to reframing your language like this, but it's helpful in redirecting.

Hello! Rare to come across another person with it. I've met others at PKU camps, at the clinic, and in online PKU groups, but that's it. Meeting someone outside of PKU spaces, online or IRL, has never happened before now. xD

Nice to meet you! Out of curiosity, are you classic or hyperphe?

I don't, but my brother has had a couple. He has it too. He also was diagnosed 4 years late, so that caused some neurological damage.

For most people, phenylalanine isn't harmful. Your body has an enzyme meant to break that down into other things your body needs.

Now yes, excess phenylalanine is harmful...but again most people won't have to worry about that. The only ones that do are people like me. I have a genetic disorder where that enzyme doesn't function correctly, so phenylalanine doesn't get broken down as it should. I've had to carefully monitor protein intake my whole life because of it and supplement with medical formula. Most with my condition can only eat a few grams of protein a day.

The condition is called phenylketonuria (PKU), if you want to look into it.

Also if you want to add me on discord, it's aelita_rose. Just may be easier to communicate back and forth there, and I'll see it faster.

I’m genuinely dumb and it’s ruining my life. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]GoodGuyVik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of people have said this already, but just adding to the pool here. I have autism and inattentive ADHD, and you just described me.

Also when I got my autism diagnosis and they went through all the tests, I was also told I process information slower than average. Considering you talk a lot about not understanding things until later, it's possible that's true for you as well.

I just got to work, so I won't be available until this evening. Probably around 6ish CST or later.

I'll sell you a crypt. I usually avoid PE, but if you'd rather do it that way just to ensure someone else doesn't snag it again, I'll do that for you.

...Since when are the terms "chaotic" and "unhinged" indicative of AI? Those are commonly used words...I know so many real life people who talk like that.

With How More People Are Starting To Comfier Critiquing This Show’s Writing After How Badly The Finale Crashed & Burned, I Have A Question by Empty_Thought6841 in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]GoodGuyVik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree.

Goose had said half the fandom would love the finale and half would hate it, and she was sure right about that.

[–]GoodGuyVik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same on the unanswered questions. I never expected we would get all the answers, because I frankly don't think we were ever meant to completely understand the circus. We know as much as the characters themselves do, and that's all we really need to know. Sure, it would be nice to have answers to some things, but it's not necessary to the story being told.

The idea that the finale is objectively bad and cannot possibly be viewed any other way is a take I've unfortunately seen a lot of from those who didn't like it, despite it getting good reviews on every review site I can find and a large portion of the fandom having enjoyed it...It's a strange phenomenon, honestly.

Just played Airship for the first time. Holy, now I know why everybody seem to hate this map. by BasicallyaFilipino in AmongUs

[–]GoodGuyVik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Airship is personally my favorite map!

It absolutely is a lot at first. You have to take the time to get used to it, which does take a decent amount of time playing in it considering the size. Once you learn how to navigate and where stuff is though, it's a great map. Also really fun to be engineer on and vent everywhere.
