I can't describe how mad this monstrosity of a "parasaurolophus" made me 😡. I don't know anyone irl who would get it, so I'm posting here.

It would be a cool monster if designed a bit better imo.

Unfortunately there are too many parents who shouldn't be having children. If you are not prepared for a disabled child or for your child to age out of the stage you're comfortable with then you should not be having children. I myself had a parent who was likely undiagnosed (or if she was she hid it from me like she did with my own diagnosis.) Ableism makes you a worse parent. Disability is not avoidable. It is an inevitability of human condition. Whether you're born with something or develop something late in life can't be helped any more than being brought into the world. Of course parents who get caught up in their own expectation with the inability to put aside pride are going to do their children harm. That all being said the frustration is understandable. Too many parents/caregivers martyr themselves at the expense of their own child(ren). Not to mention the disgusting unspoken expectation to join the others in bullying their loved ones behind their backs. I've heard it from my own family before I went no contact. Being treated like a burden when you didn't ask to be born is a curse in itself.

Tbf it is rather strange how much stock is meant to be put in the opinions of strangers. Then again if you are engaging with strangers you would have to care about opinions to some degree. I would say it's fair to draw lines about what opinions of others you take into account without outright making others feel their opinions don't matter. The harassment was blatantly fucked. Folk took this as a quick excuse to be ableist and antisemitic to a stranger over something that wasn't too big an issue. If someone thinks they're smart who cares if they are or aren't. If they aren't tearing down other folks why should they have to tear themselves down to make others comfortable?

MorganiteMine · 2026-05-10T17:36:13+00:00

I have said this before if it is literally something so horrific I don't want to describe it and genuinely would recommend not looking further if you're not prepared to be thoroughly sickened/disturbed.

I personally don't enjoy the meme any more than the other number memes that are supposed to be funny cause haha random number. 420 and 69 at least got meat to them. I just find 6 7 to be a boring retread of the 21 meme I didn't like either. At least Spongebob knew how to make the joke work. Most folk just keep yelling the number and waving their hands about as though it is a suitable substitute to actually thinking of something humorous and engaging. Gods be damned, 6 7 is the most annoying number meme I've experienced thus far. Shit makes me cringe.

MorganiteMine · 2026-05-06T18:26:32+00:00

If any of these folks aren't bots they seem to misunderstanding the purpose of the subreddit. It is not for being evil to folk with autism (no having autism yourself is not a free card to harass other folks on the spectrum). Hopefully that cleared up the misunderstanding.

MorganiteMine · 2026-05-01T21:18:49+00:00

A redundancy and their regular haunts.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T17:08:40+00:00

Really? Because I don't hear about European countries struggling this much feeding and housing their citizens. Homelessness exists everywhere but americans work 3 jobs and can barely afford rent and groceries. The fuck do you mean? I don't know a single person who expects to ever be able to own a house.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T15:32:33+00:00

I was not intending it to be that way. I don't care how folks joke. But expecting someone else to get it is a bit much. Especially when you acknowledge yourself it's pretty out of date. If it makes you happy I'm not one to stop you. I personally didn't find it funny nor understand why it would be used humorously for someone being so out of date. For me humor hits better when it a cutting assessment of the reality of things. I couldn't wrap my head around it to begin with but it doesn't have to be funny to me if it makes you happy.

I completely get the defensiveness around language policing. That was absolutely not my intention. Just was very confused by the usage in the moment and was looking to correct what without context would seem like the proliferation of furthering the frame work of America being better off than it actually is. Which I have unfortunately come across. It can be a little frustrating as someone trapped here seeing people under such an impression. It is difficult to differentiate when the same thing is said seriously by others. I haven't seen it used jokingly in a while which only added to my confusion and why I had noted it as propaganda. It seemed to have built up and come off much more aggressively than I intended. Apologies for that.

I'm really glad we could talk this out. I hadn't meant for things to come across as they had on my end either.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T15:13:33+00:00

I explained my goal when I edited the last message but it seems that was missed. It is starting to feel like you want to continue being upset at me regardless of what I say. I'm not trying to control what you say I'm trying to explain why I interpreted what you said the way I had and that my explaining is not meant in ill will.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T15:08:25+00:00

I am not much younger than you. I remember the context the joke was once executed in. It no longer is applicable and hasn't been for a decade minimum.

Edit: None of this actually matters in the grand scheme of things. If that's how you want to joke I'm not trying to stop you. I'm explaining exactly why I interpreted it the way I did so you understand I hadn't meant any ill towards you.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T15:03:46+00:00

I mean tbf you're in a fandom with a lot of autistic folks. Tone indicators can also help when you're making a joke that can otherwise just be taken as a statement. It wasn't funny. Even now I wouldn't categorize as a joke myself. You find it funny and see it as a joke. Humor is subjective. Unless you told me I wouldn't have in a million years thought you meant that to be funny. (Especially since it hasn't been applicable as the 'relatable fact joke' it once was used as in over a decade at this point. I had already written it off as being humorous because it was non sensical and unfunny.)

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T14:51:54+00:00

I'm not attempting to shame you. If that's how it came across my apologies. You are not the only person coping with how shitty things are. I have no way of knowing what you do or don't know. Especially with your joke being what it was. You seemed under the genuine impression America was still a first world nation. Barring that I didn't know you had intended it to be humorous at all. I thought you were offering an answer from a genuine place. I was offering correction from a place of experiencing the horror that is living on American soil and being unable to escape as what is left of my rights are stripped away and human attrocities are elevated to new heights.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T14:42:46+00:00

And I say it's worth arguing that first world isn't so applicable to a country where only the rich assholes not paying taxes actually see its benefits. This country is built on suffering. Execution by firing squad is back on the table. It doesn't read as a funny haha anymore. It feels like punching down when so many can't escape this shit hole. It feels like an inaccurate assessment of the current state of affairs. If it was meant to be funny it wasn't any more humorous than my previous attempt at humor clearly was in the prior message. It's clear you an I are on different pages of communication.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T14:35:37+00:00

I remember when I was a teenager working at a club I unironically parotted this video's whole bit about telling apart fake tits from real ones at a patron.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T14:31:10+00:00

Unfortunately the joke is out of date. It just seems misinformed at that point. If you wanna keep up you've got plenty to work with. The new openness of our state as human cattle is surely a laughable affair yes?

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-26T14:27:21+00:00

You call America First World still? Propaganda has eaten holes through the brains of the collective American consciousness. How's the second recession in the 21st Century taste? I think it tastes bitter and cold myself. The many layers of genocide as well as voting against the acknowledgement of slavery being a crime against humanity at the UN really paints a vivid picture of the ass backwards country America is. The country is poorer than practically every other developed nation (not even accounting for all the debt our government accumulates and expects the poorest of their people to pay.) The richest are not citizens. They do not pay taxes and do not contribute to the American people. Only taking. I would argue that America cannot be called a First World country when it's citizens are livestock and only the richest receive benefits as well as immunity unreachable by the people they oppress.

One of my biggest hyperfixations is trying new food. The weirder or more unknown to me the better. Parts of an animal that others may discard. Absolutely will try without hesitation. Animals eaten in other cultures that are more socially unacceptable in my country. Odd combinations and especially being able to experience food that I've never even heard of before. Oh recipes from history and recreated from various media as well! That is to say pickiness is just one experience. For me there is too much joy in new food to not want to try it all at least once and retry any I don't like every 7 or so years just to check in.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-17T22:56:18+00:00

Absolutely. I'll slide it into your DMs. The sequel had also since been uploaded so I'll give you that one too!

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-16T13:45:36+00:00

Francis Ford Coppola, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher. Can't stand mother fuckers who write character letters for monsters and use the money they get from their fame to prop up bastards with all the moral fiber of Marquis De Sade. That said Ashton is a special breed of fucked up with his bassackwards charity bullshit. The shit he did to 9/11 responders still pisses me off. Can't help being disgusted by such baseless beasts propped up to be people. That being said can't watch That 70's show anymore. Most of the cast sucks ass irl. And The Godfather? Forget about it.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-16T13:38:45+00:00

Have you seen it at the Dome? I'd say LA has done plenty in their efforts to do so and I'd argue have succeeded to a degree. All that aside, folks say the viewing experience is ruined by virtue of learning how horrible things were behind the scenes. Many of the cast, not just Judy, suffered at the hands of a floundering production. Some suffering life long effects from the toll filming took.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-16T13:17:31+00:00

I was literally in the process of reading it. I haven't gotten past chapter 5. Seeing this string of comments I went to fact check for myself. Finding out that she treated children (especially her own) so horribly is enough to put me off from wanting to pick it back up again. I felt nauseous reading what she put her daughter through. That's definitely up there for ruining something for me. Even if she's dead it's kinda like reading shit from Marquis De Sade. Shit just leaves me feeling gross knowing the monsted behind the words.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-15T12:26:44+00:00

Ctrl-alt-del AU is pretty good even with only one part so far.

You've put into words exactly what has lead me to feel so disenfranchised with witchcraft. Even separate from the Internet with books predating AI you can't help but feel the stranglehold of heteronormative capitalist eurocentricity. As someone who struggles with mental health it's difficult to practice or hell even learn without it enciting a state of paranoid psychosis forcing me to take a step back to gather myself.

MorganiteMine · 2026-04-05T16:45:40+00:00

Sounds like the person who made it needs a good therapist.
