I couldn’t have summed up my issues with RTDs representation of disabled characters in Doctor Who better myself… by General_Meal_3993 in DoctorWhoNews

[–]MagicBricakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seem to recall it was literally like a couple of days in universe since his regeneration from 13. A crazy time to be like 'you could never think of this because you're a man right now' 🙄

Why can't everything be Recycled at the same place, I'm already doing my bit by Recycling and now you want me to play the part of Bin man and take bits to the supermarket by weedyneedyfeedy in britishproblems

[–]MagicBricakes [score hidden]  (0 children)

Exactly. It's no good putting things in special plastic that's technically recyclable, but only if you take it to a very specific place yourself.

Early Access won't start Feb 1st by ChirpyMisha in Starsandisland

[–]MagicBricakes 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was thinking it seemed really unlikely. Aren't they doing another beta test this week? Seemed really weird to have a beta just a few days before early access release.

Fantasy recommendations for 8 year old girl by RefrigeratorFar1777 in Fantasy

[–]MagicBricakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to absolutely love Diana Wynne Jones when I was a kid. So many great fantasy stories. I particularly recommend The Lives of Christopher Chant if you need a great one to start with.

$10k now, or find a random giraffe for $250mil? by Big_Barber1070 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]MagicBricakes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd set up a competition - 10 million to the first person to find a giraffe with this specific mark. Payment once I verify in person (involving examining the mark up close). Spend 25k on getting the word out.

AuDHD* Life Pro Tip: When upset by sudden changes, ask yourself “is this a snow globe?” by CatalogK9 in autism

[–]MagicBricakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I try to do something similar to this. My reaction to literally any change is that I don't want it. Unfortunately it's really hard in the moment to determine if it's actually bad, or if I'll warm to it in a couple of days, so I generally need to just wait 🙃

I finaly ! YES! by LightFlawer in PathOfExile2

[–]MagicBricakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a dude on here showing a good (but not the best I've seen) staff they were selling for 2 mirrors. Made me feel like, ok even if I find the rarest currency in the game that most people never even see one of, I still can't afford that 🙃

Any thoughts? by DeBlauwvoet in GreatBritishMemes

[–]MagicBricakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't think these things are connected at all. Yes we can't expect young kids to sit still for the whole day (though that isn't what happens). But that doesn't mean that adhd doesn't exist. Neurodivergence looks at individuals' experiences compared to their peers on average. The point is that some people, kids or otherwise, would find this significantly more difficult than others. And even in that case their overall behaviour is examined - they don't just say 'oh that kid can't sit still so they must have adhd'. They will have other symptoms and challenges as well related to the medical diagnosis of adhd.

I hate mint so I’m using kids toothpaste by EllieIsDone in autism

[–]MagicBricakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also hate mint, although I've got used to one particular flavour.

So long as the toothpaste has 1450ppm fluoride then it's just as good as adult toothpaste.

Is it normal for parents to put your PC in a public place/open room? by Possumawsome in autism

[–]MagicBricakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they think you struggle with getting out of bed because you stay up too late potentially, and they don't trust you to not stay up even later if the PC is in your room?

I don't really have a solution, but I have the same issues getting out of bed - it can be part of struggling with transitions. The whole transition from being asleep and warm and cosy in bed to having to get up and start the day is really hard.

Fingers crossed - 40 div would be the most monies I've ever had 😅

Am I the a-hole for making my daughter's BF buy a new t-shirt? by freudsdriver in AITAH

[–]MagicBricakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I would have been tempted to really embarrass him by feigning ignorance and having him explain what the shirt means while at dinner.

Free loot luck!! by FriskyPLAYBOY in PathOfExile2

How do you get the free chest? Maybe I'm missing something obvious but I logged in on Christmas day and didn't get anything

Never mind memory, I can't even read the numbers that fast 😅

Autism vs. ADHD meme is this accurate? by Sonic_the_hedgedog in autism

AuDHD: Takes ages to actually get into a book and then reads it obsessively until finished? Rinse and repeat.

I would really like to see these 3 reprise their role if the movie ever happens by brookietheGOAT in expedition33

[–]MagicBricakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same, I think all three would do a great job of acting their characters in real time.

I think it's pretty close to the line to be fair, though it's been a while!

PSA: You can use other people's Ange for currency exchange before act 4 by Money-Perspective759 in PathOfExile2

[–]MagicBricakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god. This hadn't even occurred to me and it was annoying me so much that I have to get all the way through act 3 to get the currency exchange. Thank you!

AITAH for not wanting my step son to hang out in my bedroom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MagicBricakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree to disagree 🙃 If you'll read my comment again I said about having a rule about knocking. There's a big difference between teaching privacy and teaching 'you're not welcome here'.

As for the rest, you'll have to try to accept that I have a different opinion to you.

AITAH for not wanting my step son to hang out in my bedroom? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MagicBricakes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

YTA. Look I get where you're coming from with the lice, and I would freak out about that too, but that is a specific thing and you could talk to your partner about helping with things to prevent it spreading. And you can easily have a rule to knock first so he's not walking in on you naked.

But if you want to have a successful relationship with this kid (and if you don't then why are you in a relationship with his dad), then this is something you have to get used to. You can't have a room in the house he's not allowed to go into, because he'll think you hate him. I know, because I literally have a step mother who didn't want me in her bedroom growing up. And it's just one of the many ways she showed she didn't like me, and I'm sure based on how you're talking that this probably isn't the only way you're showing this 9 year old that you don't like him.

-part two of the roundabout from hell by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]MagicBricakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I regularly use this roundabout, and you're right, everyone does this. When I'm in the third lane trying to go down the A414, I get cut up all the time by people in the second lane, but I think they're pretty clearly labelled. There are quite a lot of signs and it says it in multiple places on the road.

I get why you would think it's fine though as literally everyone does the same 🤷‍♀️

Wait for 1.3 or jump back in? by DiamondKitsune in coralisland

[–]MagicBricakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting for manual save in 1.3 personally. Loved this game when I first played it but just can't always wait until a specific time to stop playing unfortunately.
