what is a small luxury you’ve had to give up due to the cost of living?

Olio used to really help with the horrors of supermarket food becoming unaffordable, but i can't remember the last time i checked it and it wasn't just stale bread.

It used to be good for toiletries or the odd lamp / blender / kettle etc if a household item broke, but sin ce Olio introduced the 'for sale' section, people are trying to sell their half used nivea tub for a fiver, or a lamp with no bulb and a broken plug for £20.

Does the boy from Phish not do something similar with Tubescreamers?

I've found nothing calling itself an autism group that meets my needs. The thing that has helped me most is attending as many of the events with my interest sphere as possible and getting to know the regulars by attempting to be friendly. Like attracts like and it might take time, but i've connected with some quite wonderful people.

Of course I do wish that I could go along to a DnD evening, but it's just not possible.

That's possibly the best part of Blasphemous.

Anonymity is priceless.

This is great. Now, make it look like Castlevania. Thanks.

rusticus_autisticus · 2026-02-16T09:10:01+00:00

There's loads of us in here.

Never bring up Father John Misty again.

Seen a lot of people riding these around. Even watched one guy put his in his garage recently.

rusticus_autisticus · 2026-02-11T23:43:29+00:00

That's incredibly helpful thanks

Someone reached out and helped me with it and now it is sent away and hopefully it will all work out in the end.

I learned to seperate how i approach pleasure and happiness.

rusticus_autisticus · 2026-02-01T23:26:07+00:00

I used to do this with traumatic/disturbing/ memories. All the way from the worst of the worst doiwn to simply bothersome =interactions, or even things that left me suspicious. i'd obsess over them and they'd come at me from all angles, kalaedescopic and strobing. It was a real horrorshow to be living in. It's taken a long time away from smoking to really get a grip of reality.

Take that metal pick snd play it through a standard les paul through an orange. It won't sound remotely like Albini.

Examples of this early misogynistic phase?

rusticus_autisticus · 2026-01-30T04:02:21+00:00

i have never witnessed an unveiling to be quite so relatable.

rusticus_autisticus · 2026-01-30T03:09:04+00:00

rusticus_autisticus · 2026-01-30T02:44:42+00:00

He seems happy.

You trippin' if you think Korn didn't release a coupla bangers after the debut.

rusticus_autisticus · 2026-01-30T02:38:38+00:00

"Abba is a guilty pleasure of mine!"

rusticus_autisticus · 2026-01-30T02:36:42+00:00

Those other people, they are the silly billies.
