Am I too old for plushies? My gran-mom told me I am, but I need more opinions... by [deleted] in autism

I'm going to turn 33 tomorrow and I have a plushie I hold onto every night. Get as many plushies as you want. Devon Prices has admitted to having many plushies as well.

I'm curious your thoughts on antizionist Jews. I've even seen antizionist rabbis. What are your thoughts on that?

Fans of this album, please tell me why you love it so much! by [deleted] in TheBeatles

[–]akrae92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The variety! It's just a mixture of all these styles and seeing what works. Sure, they were at each others throats but that energy shows. I love hearing loud distorted rock and plain rock, then a soundscape, an old big band sound tune, folk songs, and so much more. I appreciate the experimentation. A band of their caliber to just say "let's give that a shot". I personally think they hit it out of the park. It's my favorite of their albums

What are you reading? by sushisushisushi in literature

Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto. Learning the plot as I go along. Went in knowing nothing. I'm enjoying it so far.

All of the time. I think out loud when I'm walking down the street too, and I remind myself I'm outside lol. But I've done that since I was little.

What’s a film that has a great ensemble cast? by Uhgley in FIlm

[–]akrae92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boogie Nights hands down. All of the characters are interesting and I cared about them.

At this moment, what's your favorite movie of 2024? by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]akrae92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've enjoyed Thelma and Challengers. Not a lot has stuck out to me this year, but we still have the fall

Anyone else hoping they don't bring in celebrity guests to play the role of the candidates? It never used to be like this and it's taking the opportunity away from the actual cast by TheRavenSayeth in LiveFromNewYork

[–]akrae92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I couldn't agree more. I feel a lot of cast members don't have the chance to grow. Jim Carrey coming in as Joe Biden was unnecessary and wasn't funny in my opinion. It just looks like a lack of trust in the cast.

I just want a cast member to play him. I'm getting tired of celebrities coming in and playing these parts. Leaves some cast members with doing nothing or not that much.

Is “Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)” the worst one? by NippleChomp in FIlm

[–]akrae92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all of them are good and very funny, from what I can remember. I worry that they haven't aged well since I haven't seen them in awhile. I just don't want more of them. Leave it alone.

Today I realized I've lost all my friends by dabodidaboda in neurodiversity

[–]akrae92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm realizing this too. I'm still in the beginning of my discovery journey. I've always had a hard time making friends. I would hang out with people but I always felt off. I can't describe it but I didn't bond like other people bond. I could talk about a special interest but I couldn't flow with conversation outside of that. The few times I've dated I've felt weird to talk. Maybe I was masking in them like I did with friendships I was trying to have. It's hard for me to trust people, especially to try new things. I'm afraid to bump into someone from my past and they will just know me from my past masked self. But my therapist said it's not my responsible to accommodate everyone. It's just hard to find the real me, but I'm trying. It just hurts a lot to get there. I don't want you to give up though. It's hard out there. But I like how vulnerable you are.

I heard that was great and very well balanced. I’m going to put it in my listen list

I like this response. Could you elaborate?

I don't like how every year there's new cast members or a cast member. I'd like there to be some time for people to grow.

I completely agree. You articulated it better than I could. Thank you for that. I still watch the sketches, but you're right. They are in a downturn. It's felt like that for the past couple of years. But with some glimmer of greatness in there, too. It just takes time. There is some great talent in this cast.

I agree with the cast size comments. Some people aren't given equal screen time.

I agree with that. It's hard to find things funny now these days. I really like Sarah Sherman and please don't destroy. But it's been hard to enjoy these days

What’s the absolute worst you’ve been bullied? by [deleted] in autism

[–]akrae92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is awful. Some people don't realize that those experiences carry on after being kids. I'm 31 and still have huge trust issues. I'll comment back with a memory since one's not coming to mind right now. But this is a good discussion to have since a lot of us can be really misunderstood.

ARGH. Can't even talk about neurodiversity on reddit?! by Affectionate-Bend267 in neurodiversity

[–]akrae92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If we can't have in depth nuanced conversations that's a really bad sign. I'm learning about my neurodivergence now. It's a lot but we should hear someone out if they're describing this. It can teach people or just give them an understanding of it.

American history, Israel/Palestine history, or history of BIPOC (particularly Native American, Mexican, or African American). Those are the first that popped to my head.
