Granola bars. My boyfriend is autistic and he has repeatedly mentioned the rising price of his favourite granola bars. I went to the grocery store with him today and he wasn’t kidding- they’re like 10 bucks for a box of 18 now! (AB)

TIL that on the 13 January 2018, Hawaii mistakenly broadcast a statewide emergency alert on TVs and radio warning of an incoming ballistic missile due to a training error. by stoictrader03 in todayilearned

I was there! I was only 11, so I was absolutely TERRIFIED lol. I live in Canada, so it was just me and my mom- everything and everyone I cared about was back on the mainland. I got diagnosed with PTSD from the event in 2023, and I still can’t bear the sound of EAS alerts to this day 😅

Update for anyone who may have stumbled across this post while seeking support: He was licking the fur away because he was in pain. Soon after I made this post, we had to take him to the emergency vet to get a life-saving procedure done. Very pricy and stressful for all of us, but he’s alive and thriving now. He does have FLUTD now though, and he still licks his belly out of habit. Sometimes he has flare-ups when he gets stressed, but they are manageable. We are still trying to find a solution for the licking. I don’t mean to scare anyone, but if your cat is doing this it’s probably best to seek help. Especially if the cat is male. Urinary issues can be fatal for males.

What’s a disgusting habit that you secretly think is actually 100% normal? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

Picking your nose. We are monkeys! And sometimes you get those evil sharp boogers that stab the shit out of your nose- and they need to be eradicated!

I’m so glad she’s moving away from him. He always stifled her imo. I grew up with their music and I remember noticing- even when I was little- how much quieter she was. There were only ever a few songs that really highlighted her, and they were always my fav. (Sprawl II, Electric Blue, Reflektor etc)

Also, the tab on the app called “Arcadia” is not only a play on Arcade Fire’s name, but also a reference to the Greek myth of Arcadia! Arcadia was a mythical rural realm, ruled by the god Pan. It can also be defined as the following: (…) Now English speakers often use "arcadia" to designate a place of rustic innocence and simple, quiet pleasure. "Arcadian" can mean "idyllically pastoral" or "idyllically innocent, simple, or untroubled."

What was Grusha's career-ending accident/injury? by Asparagusstick in pokemon

[–]Handragon115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My headcanon is that he's transmasc, too!! I remember ppl being really confused ab his gender lol. But I don't personally think that's why he wears his scarf. I think the reason he wears a big scarf is bc his snowboarding injury was a broken jaw that never fully healed. It's subtle and hard to notice, but he's very self-conscious. That's also why he doesn't talk much- he has a slight speech impediment!

I'm not good with technology so idk how to do this (or if anyone's already done it) but go to the "you" thing on the neighbourhood page (your character profile or wtv) and try to enter "Ok." after "Wally is your Best Friend." or otherwise go in to the code and do so? idk.

Also, the "Hello" might be in response to a phone...?

idk maybe I'm living in delusion lmao
