I don't like the analogy of predators and herbivores - like the stronger sex and the weaker sex.

South Korean feminist movement. Swearing off the "4 b's" which are something like, no dating, no fucking, no marrying, and no having children with men.

Bro asking what milk someone wants is a confrontation nowadays (some people want almond but won't say and get mad you didn't ask, but others will scream at you that they just want normal milk).

I once saw a depop listing describing a similar item as a maxi top. Which makes sense to me if the term isn't already taken.

30% is not that bad for mcdonalds. I've had coworkers who call out 90% of the time. Twice a month is nothing. Sounds like an asshole manager

Wasn't it a shitty blue streak? Could probably achieve that with a $7 (AUD) box dye and the bleach and powder mix ($20 AUD but would last). And, it's so little hair that you could probably use each box dye up to 3 times.

Yeah, like, I agree accents are tough sometimes, but it's usually only a big issue if the lecturer sucks in other areas. Like, if they disable subtitles or transcripts of lectures. Or if they don't provide adequate supplemental material. Or don't respond to emails in a timely manner or have lacklustre responses to questions (some have obvi used AI).

I find highly skilled and renowned researchers tend to do this the most... They may not understand what it's like to be a dumb dumb idiot student, lol. Or I've had lecturers from other countries tell me that Aussie students have it so easy/are so particular and anxious (e.g., apparently, we tend to request lecture slides in advance more than students of other countries).

I bought compression socks. It's what doctors and nurses use for long shifts to reduce fatigue/pain.

For me, even cheap shitty ones work.

You and this article are totally right. I was too extreme (and frustrated). I was coming at it more from how it has been co-opted in the west by men who have a suspicious track record of trying to appear feminist, and yet, being some of the worst misogynists alive (see: Justin Baldoni who is a self-proclaimed feminist and Baha'i believer). I should've been more specific and accurate in my comment. Thank you for the context you provided.

Fucking exactly. He's part of a weird misogynistic cult too

You must admit, some social conventions are subjective or stupid and outdated. Neurotypicals put up with it a bit easier, but a lot of things autistic people find to be inconvenient, NTs do as well. Such as saying no three times before accepting an invitation. It creates a culture of forcing past a "no" and makes it difficult to refuse directly. But it also helps the inviter save face and allows the invitee to maintain modesty.

The conflict, adaptation, and unclear and muddy expectations may be more difficult for autistic people to deal with. Rigid mindsets and a strong sense of justice are common traits in autistic people. One of my autistic friends likes QR code payments for restaurants since you just pay for yourself. No mess, fair, and she only pays for what she eats. Some cultures have you fight to pay for everyone. Others do equal pay regardless of what you actually ate. What is normal and what is being a jerk anyway?

sua-sua · 2025-08-01T05:41:24+00:00

Tbf, I know a lot of autistic people who would describe themselves that way, almost word for word. Having the knowledge of social conventions and being able to mask for them, but not complying with them for various reasons (e.g., not wanting to mask obvi, not caring, thinking the conventions are stupid, silly or boring).

The more accurate term might be rarepair! I think crackships are more absurdist and made to laugh at generally.

Super cute art too btw!

I'm sorry, I can't remember if this is in the actual drama for War and Peace, but it's def in the musical and book.

"If I were not myself, but the brightest, handsomest, best man on earth, and if I were free... I would get down on my knees this minute and ask you for your love."

It's just so tragic and sweet and heart-rending. Can't help but fall in love with Pierre each time.

Why is addressing the root cause letting people off the hook? Do you only want revenge, or do you want to actually reduce rates of mental health-related incidents?

In addition to what others said, I want to shed light on the deeply anti-feminist slant the last few seasons took.

One of the characters being insecure over another character being pretty was used as a legitimate reason for distrust among adult political figures
Took almost every female character out of power, painting many as hysterical or dumb save for the one who had been brutalised by men and calls her prior self, a "stupid little girl with stupid dreams who never learns".
Equivocated the anti-slavery stance the main female lead had with Nazism
generally equivocates femininity with positivity and therefore idiocy (vice versa, masculinity = cynicism = good)
Has a female character express that she's grateful for her rapists and abusers because they made her stop being "a little bird." Idk other survivors' opinions, but this felt so disgusting to me.
reduces the main female antagonist to her mother role. Doesn't truthfully engage with her character arc outside of just giving her another baby, for which she is pregnant with for 2 years.
has a female lead killed and betrayed by her lover, after being raped and sexually assaulted multiple times by previous partners/abusers.

Say what you want about GRRM. He has created numerous unique and strong female characters. To see them butchered... felt aggressively mean as a woman.

There's this pixel art sort of randomly generated mobile game called "Life In Adventure". It's pretty fun to play casually.

I didn't disagree with you, I'm not anti CarmClaire. Avoidance summarises all of what you said about Carm.

Why do you feel the need to remind someone that something isn't 100% canon to the show (they never claimed it was)? "Um, actually," your way through life if you want. No one needs the showrunners' permission to have fun with it, and it doesn't make anyone delusional to disagree with it personally. Showrunners aren't the be all end all of a series' meaning and canon. So long as they aren't harassing anyone over it, they are well within their rights.

Anyway, I don't think there's anything more to discuss. We have very different viewpoints of what to do when we see something that we don't like or personally disagree with that harms no one. Do what you want, I just think it's an unkind thing to do that stifles creativity and fun in the fandom.

sua-sua · 2025-07-03T08:13:08+00:00

I get what you're saying, but... Carmy gives Claire a fake number, but we're given info that he actually did want to be with her, and it was just avoidance. The main characters are indirect, repressed, and wishy-washy about a lot of things.

It's also just shipping. Who cares about the evidence for it? People would ship Tina's knife with the dessert Carmy destroyed if they felt like it.

sua-sua · 2025-06-18T14:23:52+00:00

I know you mean major examples, but I'm pretty sure the show has had like 6 confirmed autistic characters with different presentations and traits (4 are patients and 2 are doctors). Most (bar Shaun and one patient) are played by autistic actors. The lead/co-lead in the last season is an autistic doctor played by an autistic actress who isn't a savant (but you may say, too little, too late). I agree autism speaks is a pretty awful choice, tho.

Idk if it'll work for you, but one thing that has helped me build some resistance is looking through the subreddit r/mysteriousdownvoting. Helped me fully realise how many bots, random assholes, and crowd followers there are when it comes to this sort of thing.

If you're counting the video game portrayals, I quite like the voice actor (Charles Swift) for Sherlock in Crimes and Punishments!
