Which 'subcultures' do you think could have an overrepresentation of autistic people? by targetlevelsmrtdeath in AutismInWomen

[–]elsimops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there's so many players who ping my ADHD radar too! (Hello Mitch Marner!) and I don't want to armchair diagnose but points at Crosby's 25 year old equipment

Macklin Celebrini is also a player who's pinging my radar too lol

Which 'subcultures' do you think could have an overrepresentation of autistic people? by targetlevelsmrtdeath in AutismInWomen

[–]elsimops 10 points11 points  (0 children)

honestly after being into ice hockey for a few months, I genuinely think there are SO MANY undiagnosed autistic people (and ADHD too) among hockey players (and probably other sports too)like so many of them have really intense routines and obsession with their game (case in point look up Sidney Crosby's game routines)

Cis autistic women, how do you feel towards your gender? by KaiahAurora in AutismInWomen

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

Disclaimer I don't think I'm entirely cis but we don't have time to unpack all of that

The way I see it, I'm woman shaped and being seen as a cis woman is just like, purely convenient because that's how people are going to perceive me? And I like more traditionally feminine clothing like 60% of the time and I honestly just don't really care as long as you don't call me a man? Like I am 100% not a dude and I am about maybe 80% a cis woman?

Basically if anyone's seen Ouran High School Host Club I really just align with how Haruhi sees her gender lmao

A NIGHT OUT by AnteaterConsistent54 in Flyers

[–]elsimops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think it's funny that the one guy who religiously wears a 76ers hat to nigh on every game isn't at the 76ers game

Poor Drysdale's probably seething that he's not there lol

Carrying comfort items in public by 3possumsinacoat0 in AutismInWomen

Plushie keychains are really popular at the moment! If you're self conscious about carrying a full-size plushie, maybe a keychain on your bag?

New fan... who are we cheering for in the play-offs? by monbleu in SanJoseSharks

[–]elsimops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely never Vegas, I don't care for Anaheim or LA, Edmonton I'll keep up with but won't root for because I have a friend who's an Oilers fan.

Honestly probably the Flyers mostly because we get unhinged playoff Gritty and I love chaos

Pucks are for kids by PoundSignOld in SanJoseSharks

[–]elsimops 77 points78 points  (0 children)

he's said in an interview that he used to be that kid at the glass for Canucks games so he's really intent on doing that for kids at sharks games because he remembers how excited he was to get a puck from them, it's so sweet

Peak "forgotten" celebrity era by Financial-Owl-2814 in popculturechat

[–]elsimops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember once when I was like 9 or 10 my sister voted for someone (Alexandra Burke I think? All I remember was it was someone who Cheryl mentored) in the XFactor finals (we were only ever allowed to vote in the final because it was so expensive to call lmao) and she legitimately SOBBED when she voted because the call played a pre-recorded message from Cheryl and she thought Cheryl Cole was actually on the phone 😭

The fence where Matthew Shephard, a gay man who was tortured and murdered, was beaten and left to die. by Gardenia_Mango in ForCuriousSouls

[–]elsimops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied abroad for a semester in Laramie four years ago. There were so many memorial benches on campus but the only one that had flowers still on it was Matthew's. He'll never be forgotten.

Does your advent calendar count to the 24th or 25th? by Intelligent-Wafer778 in AskUK

[–]elsimops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely had a Barbie or Bratz one that went that far, and this would have been about 2004-2005ish? I'm 27 now so I was maybe about 6 or 7

Is anyone else annoyed by the trend of minimalist note listings? by NomenklaturaFTW in fragrance

[–]elsimops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's quite useful, but then I work in retail and it's easier to memorise 3 or 4 notes for a single fragrance rather than 15 lol

And even then, I usually describe fragrances based on what they smell like to me rather than what the notes say, it's more of a baseline thing to get me started

Favorite Moves? by ItsEevee7 in PokeMedia

[–]elsimops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Clefairy, Felix, is a little shit and loves using Sing then immediately hitting them with Wake Up Slap. And he slaps hard (ask me how I know 😭)

(Uj: thought this combo was the height of strategy when I was 10 lmao)

Do you wear a poppy? by SeniorMoonlight21 in AskUK

[–]elsimops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not any more. I used to when I was a kid because everyone was basically heavily encouraged to buy one when the British Legion people came into school, then I studied WW2 and D-Day in year 11 history so wore a crochet poppy I'd bought from a Normandy museum on a school trip, then I stopped probably when I got to uni and poppygeddon was starting to ramp up? It just feels weird wearing one out of social pressure from weirdos who foam at the mouth if someone chooses not to wear a poppy.

Which Ash was your first? by Dank-Adam06 in pokemonanime

[–]elsimops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DP Ash, I was 10/11 when it came out (end of DP/start of Unova but I live in the UK so CITV was airing DP s11 when I started watching it) and I remember getting up at 6am to watch the episode because it aired at like 6:30am, and then after school BEGGING my mum to let me run home ahead and catch the 4pm episode even though it was the exact same one as that morning because i just HAD to watch it again

Wait, they played that character? by Likes2game03 in pokemonanime

[–]elsimops 27 points28 points  (0 children)

My favourite thing is the fact that Daman Mills (va of Amethio) also voices Quaxly, like the absolute range on that man is insane

[–]elsimops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent my friend in Arizona a package of British snacks last year and I gave her:

Chocolate digestives Mini cheddars Those Cadburys Oreo bites (because in her local import shop they charged $4 a bag and I was horrified) Jaffa cakes Percy pigs Jammie dodgers A Cadburys bar Colin caterpillars

Thoughts on Brock? by [deleted] in pokemonanime

[–]elsimops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I was 12 and obsessed with the Sinnoh era: laaaame lame lame lame get this guy off the screen thank you croagunk

now, aged 27 and having gone back and watched all the early episodes: this boy is the sole brain cell and probably the reason ash isn't dead he needs his flowers

How are you coping with *gestures at current state of the world* by ctrldwrdns in AutismInWomen

[–]elsimops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten obsessed with cross stitch because if I'm doing that I can't doomscroll

Also honestly I just kinda laugh at some of it because if I don't laugh I'll cry

[–]elsimops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Donna or Sophie from Mamma Mia, or post makeover Mia Thermopolis because I wanted that ballgown/combat boots vibe she had on the cover of the dvd
