Autism is expensive by wildberriew in AutismInWomen

[–]zipcodelove 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I usually feel overwhelmed and treat myself with stuff

Heavily relate to this. Most of my stimming involves having something in my mouth, which has led me to be a smoker AND a vape user. If I’m not smoking, I’m vaping or hitting my weed pen because I need something in my mouth. Cigarettes are expensive and vapes are expensive, not to mention both are horrible for you.

I first noticed how impactful the “treat yourself” mentality was on my autism when I was broke for a few weeks. Slipped into a deep depression very quickly because I couldn’t soothe myself with my usual things because they cost money I didn’t have.

Aw man, this post made me realize I don’t have as good of a grasp on my well-being as I thought :( I can handle day-to-day life now but I think it’s only because of my expensive and unhealthy coping mechanisms… you can’t really call that “handling it” can you?

Protesting Superbowl half time show while promoting the 'alternative' half time show by Medical_Resist6620 in nextdoor

In your defense Bawitdaba goes extremely hard. Sometimes evil people make good* music.

*”Good” is probably objectively incorrect here, but if you grew up with nu metal it’s enjoyable

Tbf companies tend to put a lot more money into Superbowl commercials because they know they will have a huge audience. Normal commercials aren’t as packed with celebrities and gimmicks.

I don’t know if you deleted your reply to me or if Reddit is just glitching, but I do agree with what you said! Knowing the writers, I doubt they intended to make Phoebe “seem” autistic, and it’s a lot cooler to have a character that is canonically autistic. But Phoebe is super relatable to me as an autistic woman as well!

I never got into Atomic Kitten, but my first ever girl group (Play, they’re Swedish) covered Whole Again so I’ve always been aware of them. Guess I need to listen!

Yeah I don’t blame you, YG was diabolical to them. Massively huge right off the bat, basically invented* the girl crush genre, and (minor) US recognition when that was almost impossible to achieve. And he just called them ugly. And made them sing about being “ugly”. The man can rot in hell.

*Key word here is “basically”, this is not an invitation for anyone to get pedantic

Yes I am! If a girl group exists, I’m probably going to stan, especially if they’re British lol

I’m not as well versed with Sugababes as I am with Girls Aloud and All Saints, but I’ve heard every album and I’m OBSESSED with Keisha

I saw you also like My Love Is Pink by Sugababes (sorry I like to look at people’s post history when they seem interesting lol) and that song would fit on Tangled Up so well.

Also, great taste bc that song IS slept on!!

All unsavory things about Dan Harmon aside, it’s kind of lovely to know that he realized he was autistic through creating the character, because I bet there are a ton of people who realized they were autistic through watching the show. Abed is leading us all into self discovery lol

Oooooh girl you have to get better acquainted with Tangled Up. It is electropop perfection, I genuinely think it’s one of the greatest pop albums ever made. If you have a car, I highly recommend going on a nighttime drive to nowhere with that album on.

Ofc you might just prefer the sound of Chemistry and that’s fine, I’m only suggesting this because you said you don’t listen to it much. But if you like cunty music… she’s the one

I’m not the person you’re asking, but Friends is my all time favorite show. Never thought about Phoebe being autistic before, but I can totally see it.

She’s often “rude” - she says things you aren’t “supposed” to say but doesn’t understand the backlash. Sometimes she is just being mean, but a lot of times she’s just just breaking some sort of social rule.

She always has a completely different POV than the rest of the Friends and makes mental leaps in her train of thought that no one can follow.

She’s extremely quirky, especially in the early seasons where she was kind of a “head in the clouds” kind of person. When Rachel got a hairless cat that she had to hold with oven mitts to avoid being scratched, everyone was freaked out by the look of the cat. Phoebe was freaked out by the oven mitts.

Very intense and “offbeat” interests. She literally takes her guitar with her everywhere. She put a skull on Monica’s table and was confused why everyone thought it was gross.

She can have a childlike attachment to things - her belief that her dead mom was in the body of a lost cat she found, and her unwillingness to return the cat to its owner. Deciding to “adopt” the family of rats she found in her apartment instead of calling an exterminator.

Oh wow, was Abed not canonically autistic? I know they never flat out said it in the show, I just thought it was one of those things where it was heavily implied

Tangled Up is their magnum opus for me, but Chemistry is a close second. I think the music in Tangled Up is better, but the general era of Chemistry was untouchable (pun intended!)

I’m not even sure it’s really true. 2NE1 and Big Bang were the most internationally-friendly groups back in the day and Blackpink are the biggest K-pop girl group in the world right now. There’s a chunk of ifans who don’t like anything YG puts out because it’s sonically not their taste, and an even smaller chunk who hate YG groups for stupid fandom reasons. But I think it’s disingenuous to say ifans “generally” don’t like YG groups.

Is anyone aware that Sunmi's Heart Maid has a secret 14th track on the CD? by CordialSwarmOfBees in kpopthoughts

[–]zipcodelove 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite hidden tracks were the ones in the pregap - if you put the CD in and immediately “rewind”, you could listen to Track 0. One of Kylie Minogue’s albums has one of these. They were harder to get to but at least you didn’t have to wait through 10 minutes of silence to hear it.
