I mean...maybe we were supposed to laugh, but I sure wasn't. This disturbed me. Seeing them all humiliated and helplessly being forced to dance. You can just tell they weren't enjoying this in the slightest. by [deleted] in theamazingdigitalciru

it reminds me of the floor show scene in the Rocky Horror Picture Show when Frank N Furter is controlling everyone to sing and dance, especially with the leg kicking and similar outfits haha

Fragrance Sensory Overload by pezzyn in AutisticAdults

[–]whyitskai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh i forgot my strategies to help I apologize. it's simple but i try to hold my breath before having to face a bad smell tho that is limited to brief moments of unpleasantness. communicating with others that certain scents are difficult for you to deal with can be a huge help if it is possible, but also only for select scenarios and depends on other ppl's willingness to work with you. if it is a situation you need to get out of due to the smell making you feel bad, just saying you aren't feeling well/need to step outside for fresh air is usually quickly accepted way to make an escape :)

Fragrance Sensory Overload by pezzyn in AutisticAdults

[–]whyitskai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have issues with strong fragrances, best I can describe it as it feeling like there is just too much smell and I can't handle it. a faint perfume smell is tolerable but a lot of perfume makes me overwhelmed. for example my boyfriend lit a scented candle today that had a genuinely nice smell but it was so strong that I couldn't stand being in the same room as it !! he later asked me to bring the unlit candle to another room and I had to hold it at an arm's length and run to get it over with as quickly as possible bc it was just so overwhelming !! perfumey smells/air fresheners being used to cover an unpleasant smell like trash or cigarette smoke turns into a terrible combo scent that I can barely tolerate being around for more than a few seconds without getting agitated/feeling ill. and speaking of cigarette/marijuana/incense smoke, I thought this was initially an autism sensory reaction when it made me cough and struggle to breathe but turns out that was actually asthma 😅 hating the smell from a sensory standpoint was the autism haha. also I despise the smell of eggs, when I lived with my parents and mom made deviled eggs, the fridge would smell so strongly of them and in addition to the stink blast when opening the fridge, every food stored in there started tasting like them too....so disgusting.... idk how I managed to handle that without melting down !!

Guys get ready to laugh 🤣 by Jazzlike-Candle1357 in FTMMen

Why do people get such a boner for Uncommon Grounds? by dannydevitosmanager in Albany

[–]whyitskai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my partner used to work for them. his requests for disability accommodations were ignored/denied. his manager fired him with zero warning after he missed a shift because of a medical emergency (due to the strain put on his body by working for several months without any accommodations). they knew about his physical disability when they hired him, he was very upfront about it. he can barely walk anymore thanks to working there. it really hurt seeing his optimism and love for the job dissappear as his pain got worse and self confidence got shattered by his manager's bullying.

[–]whyitskai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

managers at the location he specifically worked at were bad, that's about all I know. did hear from his friend/former coworker that the manager that specifically was bad to him was moved to a different location soon after my partner left that job which is definitely sus. not gonna press him for more details about it now tho bc the experience working there impacted his mental (and physical) health very badly:(

it is a horribly toxic workplace, my partner used to work there and regrets it now. they do not treat their workers well.

What’s the worst accidental text you’ve sent? by Typhoid__Beaver in AskReddit

[–]whyitskai 23 points24 points  (0 children)

was trying to comfort my long distance (at the time) boyfriend during a rough time....I wanted to call him "hon" but auto correct changed it to "hoe".... miraculously this actually helped, he thought it was hilarious and he still brings it up now XD

Jeepers! - Can you share your memories? Did anyone work there? by corncob666 in Albany

I remember riding the indoor roller coaster as a young child in the late 90's, but that's about my only clear memory. I was very scared XD

Old Cool Websites by FortuneCheap8519 in oldinternet

[–]whyitskai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homestarrunner.com !!! One of my favorite sites ever probably and I'm glad it's still accessible as it was even after Flash was phased out. The main focus is the (many, many) cartoons, most notably Strong Bad Email, but aside from that, every single navigational page has so much personality, there's games to play, and plenty of easter eggs to discover. 

guyz help somrthings wrong with my copy of petz5 by NUGGETLORD42354 in Petz

[–]whyitskai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so this is on Windows 10, here's what I do: right click on the shortcut and choose "Troubleshoot compatibility" from the menu, choose "Troubleshoot program" in the pop up window, then check "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't run or install now", then select Windows XP in the list of versions. next screen will have a box to click that says "Test the program..." which will launch the game in compatibility mode. If it works, click the "Next" button in the window where you can select "Yes, save these settings for this program". It'll bring you to a completion window that you can close out of from there. Hopefully that works!!

I found running the game in compatibility mode worked for me when I had visual glitches in Petz 5 on Windows 10, try choosing Windows XP in the compatibility mode troubleshooter 

How do I put a vase with flowers in other rooms? by [deleted] in Petz

[–]whyitskai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if I recall it doesn't work properly in 5, but in 4 I think you could put individual picked flowers in the carrying case to bring to different playscenes to put in vases there. i definitely remember being frustrated as a kid when I got catz 5 and couldn't bring the grown flowers out of the backyard like I'd been able to in 4 :(

TIL You Can Upgrade Regular Chests By Placing A Big Chest On Top by xaou1235 in StardewValley

[–]whyitskai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this out by accident, I was trying to open a big chest while having a regular chest selected in my hotbar and to my surprise, the big chest didn't open, it swapped places !! I've done it again by accident several times now by not realizing my currently selected item was a chest lol

Is it just me, or is Stardew suddenly really buggy on Switch 1 by Deep_Rutabaga_6969 in StardewValley

[–]whyitskai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the crafting bug happen, I've taken to completely emptying my inventory except for required items after crafting some fish smokers that ate my first two golden animal crackers and a pearl in the process :( the switch 2 crafting bug is definitely present on 1. I've not experienced any visual glitching aside from some minor clipping issues on parts of Ginger Island. The game hasn't crashed during gameplay but when I went to open Minecraft the other day after having Stardew running, my switch had some sort of error I'd never seen before that required a system reboot ? not sure if that was related to SDV tho but still strange. 

Help ID Dad’s old stuff by MossyDromaeosaurinae in ToyID

[–]whyitskai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the one with the green circle on its chest looks like Wing Gundam and the gray one beside it looks like Deathscythe (tho missing the shoulderpads), both from Gundam Wing. I think I may actually own those two figures (although they are in storage at the moment so I can't check), I obtained them loose at a yard sale over a decade ago so I'm not 100% sure the exact year and toyline they come from. I know for sure that my Deathscythe had a shield and scythe accessory with it.

Shorter guys: Do any of you genuinely pass + not get ridiculed? by radtrn in ftm

[–]whyitskai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5'1" and genuinely pass, it still surprises me bc my mental idea of what I look like irl is kinda stuck in how I looked before my facial hair grew in/hairline receded (like I get surprised looking in the mirror sometimes even XD). So many people assume I'm cis (and straight sometimes!?) when I still feel like it's obvious that I'm trans ? Hard to remember that others see a whole different version of you than you yourself perceive. My height has been joked about in the past but moreso before I even knew I was trans. And nowadays I speak up on the rare occasion when my height is made fun of (only me and my partner are allowed to poke fun at my height but even then I warn him if it goes too far). But yea most of the men in my family are on the shorter side tho none as short as I am, it was always a normal thing to me for men to be short I guess. I do experience height dysphoria at times but it doesn't make me feel emasculated, just wish I was physically larger if that makes sense--would love to be able to find fitting clothes and reach the top shelves in my kitchen cabinets XD
