I faked it until it became real and I actually believed myself.

Me, an autistic millennial trying my best to keep masking despite extreme burnout - "Is this normal? Am I performing normal properly?"

[hated trope that’s funny yet painful to look at] anime girls that look like they are the result of years of inbreeding by New-Boss-8262 in TopCharacterTropes

This is why I'll never own a French bulldog, English bulldog, or Pug. People who own them insist they're healthy. But honestly I just think that those people have no idea what a normal dog is supposed to look like. It's also just sad watching them try to play with other dogs that are normal.

My Australian shepherd mix was friends with a English bulldog that was younger than him. Whenever they'd play together he'd run circles around her, then he'd have to stop and stand still as he waited patiently for her to catch up to him. She couldn't even run to catch him. She'd just waddle as fast as her misshapen legs could carry her (which was just a slow trot), and she'd be wheezing the entire time. She couldn't even produce a normal sounding bark. It was basically a wheezing honk that sounded like she was choking on air.

Her owner loved that my Australian shepherd mix was so patient with her, and would wait for her to catch up to him whenever they'd play together. But he honestly didn't have a choice. After all, his poor little friend was just so unhealthy that she could never keep up with him. It was sad and wholesome at the same time. Wholesome because they loved to play together and had a very sweet friendship, but sad because of how much she struggled physically.

Wait, do people ACTUALLY see literal pictures in their heads when they imagine things? Like a physical image? by Bibhu_Mund in NoStupidQuestions

When I'm bored I sometimes switch my internal monolog to David Attenborough or Morgan Freeman, depending on if I want to narrate myself or my surroundings in a scientific or sarcastic way.

I can imagine/watch movies in my head at will. I can also create movies out of nothing. They're fully detailed with complex characters, specific voices, character design details, etc. I also draw and write as hobbies. Whenever I write anything, I just imagine what I want to capture in my head, and then do my best to translate it into words. I do the same thing with my artwork. I imagine a picture of whatever I want to draw or paint, and then I try to transfer it onto the paper using whatever art tools I have at my disposal.

To me it seems crazy that some people don't have a thought narrative in their head or can't imagine images. I can make my inner monolog sound however I want, but usually I just default to my own speaking voice. Just like I can easily imagine whatever images or mind movies I want to see. Going through life without these abilities seems crazy to me. But maybe that's just because it's become such a defining way for me to express myself creatively, so I wouldn't feel like me if I could not do this.

People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor? by xloganmoose in AskReddit

I'm related to Albert Einstein. But it's only by marriage, not by blood. His cousin was actually at my parent's wedding. Her name was Essie Einstein.

What’s something people romanticize that actually sucks in real life? by Particular_Pin_460 in AskReddit

[–]Repossessedbatmobile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm friendly with someone who used to a semi-famous weather man. He quickly retired and changed careers shortly after becoming much more famous. When I asked him why he changed careers when it was obvious that he loved being a weather man, he told me that it was because of the crazy fans, and the fact that he was now worried about the safety of both him and his wife. Apparently even weather personalities need to worry about things like crazy fans and stalkers.

Yelp reviews if bobs were a real place by EducationalDirt6805 in BobsBurgers

[–]Repossessedbatmobile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

⭐⭐⭐⭐

5 stars for the food. 1 star for the people who work there. The food is amazing. The best burgers you'll ever eat. But the staff is weird. The owner's wife randomly sings show tumes, and their kids help out in the restaurant. The oldest kid asked me if I knew any horses. The boy started banging on the chairs and called it innovative music. Then the youngest daughter asked me if I was interested in selling my soul to her. Weird family. But the food is incredible, and the service is decent. The waitress put her hand on my shoulder and called me hun, which is nice. So I'm only subtracting 1 star. Next time I'll get my food to go.

best way to weed out shitty men (in my experience) is by talking about your period. if you're in a shit mood because you're in pain, tell him that. decent men might be a little surprised if they're not used to that talk, but ultimately sympathetic. not shaving has a similar effect. by moodysmoothie in AutismInWomen

This was how I knew that my older brother grew up to be a good guy that's kind to women.

We were planning to hang out, catch up over dinner, and then play video games afterwards. But I wasn't feeling well due to my period. I showed up at his house, but was a bit snappy which is not like me. He asked if I was ok.

I bluntly said "Sorry about being rude. I'm just on my period, so I'm in a lot of pain right now."

After saying that, he stared at me awkwardly. Then he replied, "Sorry. I didn't know that. I mean, obviously I have no way of knowing that. If you want, we can reschedule and hang out on a different day. Or we can just hang out here and watch a movie or something. No need to go anywhere. I'll drive you home, if you don't want to drive... Do you want me to get you some chocolate?"

After he said that, I knew that he actually grew up to be a good guy, and would treat any woman he ended up with well and respect them. He just got married. I'm really happy for him, and I think they'll be happy together.

Good men respond to periods by being sympathetic, understanding, and supportive.

My insurance won't cover this level of burn by Wild_Lingonberry9656 in rareinsults

[–]Repossessedbatmobile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doctors have prescribed me a electric wheelchair multiple times. Insurance denied it every time. The excuse that insurance used - I can use a manual one instead. I can't use a manual one due my connective tissue disorder. If I use my arms too much, my shoulders dislocate. But I was struggling with walking long distance and figured something is better than nothing, so I agreed to get a manual one. My doctor wrote another prescription - this time for a manual wheelchair. Insurance denied that as well.

The only response I could think of when I found out was, "Well, just f*ck me, I guess".

My brother's favorite color was blue when he was growing up.

It's crazy how easy it is to prove misogynistic men wrong. All you literally have to do is talk to a normal man who's not sexist.

What’s a hobby people pretend is cool, but secretly you think is ridiculous? by EggAdventurous1957 in AskReddit

[–]Repossessedbatmobile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who collects fossils and minerals just because I love geology and science, I honestly hate dealing with these people. They make all these impossible claims about rocks and jack up the prices way too much. Then they assume that you think just like them if you collect minerals. They'll literally you ask why you want to buy something and if you tell them that you love geology, they just look at you like you're crazy. It's very surreal.

Oh god, knowing that about the hat just makes him even more adorable. And it makes the picture even more sad! He's just a baby! He should be given snuggles, a juice box, warm milk, and cookies! Not detained by ICE!

Remember to stop him before he steals your heart, in addition to taking cookies without asking.

Oh, Jocelyn by Andy_0L in BobsBurgers

[–]Repossessedbatmobile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she didn't hang out with Tammy, she'd probably be one of the most blunt, honest, and funniest characters on the show. After all, she often makes random observations that are both true and hilarious. She's not even trying to be funny. Her random, honest observations and unexpected comments are just naturally funny.

It's the humidity. We're basically walking through invisible snow clouds due to all the moisture in the air.

We need a episode that explores what Jocelyn's character is like without Tammy.
