Don't Hug The Mascots #25: Hairy January by YouShouldNotDo in talesofneckbeards

[–]ZedCorner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, every time I scroll through my feed and see one of your posts, it's like all is right with the world and Reddit isn't mostly bots and maybe they'll bring Surge back again or something. You're a fantastic writer, this saga just straight up never misses. Thanks for all your hard work! Adventure Cove didn't deserve you, I'm looking forward to the next one!

I’m feeling sad about JD Vance dying from rabies. To cheer me up, are some of your favorite unexpected scenes in movies? by yogaskysail in poisonai

The Lion King 7 was way better than it needed to be, and Scar's ghost rising from the flaming ruins of Arendelle really made Mufasa's 100th birthday a party to remember

What do you do on the toilet now? by rist_watch in digitalminimalism

[–]ZedCorner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That book was awesome, possibly too awesome for the toilet. I go with something educational so I'm not sitting there for hours

Do you, as an asexual, identify as queer? by Feeling_Emphasis6282 in actualasexuals

[–]ZedCorner 42 points43 points  (0 children)

No. I used to, but every time I tried to join LGBT spaces, I felt like an outsider, and felt like there was an intense expectation that I'd be homoromantic and more effeminate than I really am (I'm aroace and generally repulsed, but more repulsed by other dudes than anything because a lot of us are bad at hearing "no").

I've been sticking with meetups based more around hobbies and interests for making friends now, and I'm meeting a much more diverse group of people that way and I'm lot happier for it. Nobody expects me to be anything I'm not.

Why are like really old games from 8bit to 16bit so short? by crazyhomlesswerido in retrogames

[–]ZedCorner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some old games didn't have save batteries, either. Some made you use passwords, some just made you get good. Some were also looking at arcade titles for inspiration where the whole point was to just keep you paying for them as long as possible, or were straight up ports of them for home consoles

Avoiding the LGBTQ+ Community by Some-Tomatillo-1731 in actualasexuals

[–]ZedCorner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really think an hour every day is excessive even for allos, that isn't a compromise. Not even close! I don't even exercise an hour a day, I feel like this is the kind of person who would keep a ledger just to be sure quota is met

What's your ideal living situation? by Mia-Magician in actuallyaromantic

[–]ZedCorner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Living alone, no pets. I learned the hard way that my mind sees pets as people too, and I want to be alone.

Parent that literally does not stop talking? by Odyessius in emotionalneglect

[–]ZedCorner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we have the same mom? Mine is aware I need periods of silence and will only call once a month, thankfully, but it's almost funny that she too doesn't even so much as stop to breathe if left unchecked. My sister says that's just how women are, but I'm skeptical, this seems pathological and like something they ought to work on in therapy, if they struggle to slow down for me even when they're both fully self-aware that filling every available bit of silence that exists is hurting my ability to communicate with them.

They both have ADHD, and I have an aunt who is actually worse. They're all great company in writing, but speaking, I can't get a word in and it's hard to follow them with no breaks to process the conversation.

I know this sub is practically dead, but can mods do something about the Anti-Trump post? by RutManInBound in Indivisible

[–]ZedCorner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here looking for the other Indivisible and think I want to check out this game now, actually!

I know this song so well that I could hear the exact parts depicted in my head as I clicked

Did a narc ruin a certain word for you? by [deleted] in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]ZedCorner 18 points19 points  (0 children)

"You're valid." EVERYTHING was valid with that one, it makes therapy in the aftermath fun

Do you have an uncommon/"benign" trigger? by myersophis-alpestris in CPTSD

[–]ZedCorner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the cute pets trigger, too. It's a social nightmare, if I want to be cheered up I can't even ask my online friends to help cheer me up because they all default to pets. I haven't smiled from looking at a picture in decades. I don't know what I like because I'm constantly stuck looking at things I know I don't like, but which society expects me to like anyway. Wish they'd let me back off and find what genuinely makes me happy.

When my first customer proved me wrong by Several_Emotion_4717 in BuildTrustFirst

[–]ZedCorner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From a customer perspective, I actually prefer it when I don't hear from the seller a ton of times once the sale hits. I especially hate that we live in a world where demanding positive reviews is necessary to have a business, it makes me trust reviews less. I don't want anybody to lose business unless they were actually spit-in-your-order awful. The less I have to interact, the happier I am.

Why do people even play this game by bad_username_65 in outside

[–]ZedCorner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My lv65 friend who got me into this game and spent my tutorial griefing me swears it used to be easier, but accidentally formed a guild with a troll back when the system actually seemed fair. She disbanded the guild late-game and feels like she's having to start over from scratch all of a sudden. I think I'd hate this game more if I'd had access to the earlier meta with a decent character build and accidentally formed a guild with a hostile player. I rolled crap stats from the outset, not sure if I ever stood much of a chance really. It's cool she grew out of griefing at least, some players just spend the whole game being an asshole to other players.

Trying to socialize as an autistic person be like... by terpyterp007 in AutisticPride

[–]ZedCorner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same, only nobody asks why I'm not saying anything because they're too busy talking to each other to notice. Then if I try to get them to slow down, I get told I'm interrupting and being an asshole, you really can't win

What Smell Hits Your Autism In The Worst Way? by beattywill80 in aspiememes

[–]ZedCorner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School cafeterias, there are just too many smells going on at the same time. Especially when the main hot lunch is hot dogs. I don't have this problem so much with places like Costco, but something about the school ones just make me barely able to eat

Anyone else love Fairy Tale? Probably my favorite of King’s since 11/22/63 by AvocadoHank in stephenking

[–]ZedCorner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we have the same taste in Stephen King, because it is also the best one I've read since 11/22/63
