I've been working on beating Prometheus in Hades 2 with 32 Fear. I've already taken Chronos down at that difficulty multiple times but the surface route is absolutely brutal on me -- I keep getting stuck at Strife.

I'm generally too busy trying to get my wife to take a nap, since she watches the toddler all day while I'm working and that kid can wear out anyone but when I get the chance, I do love a good nap.

Yes absolutely. And I’ve had to treat them with kid gloves in the process of opening their eyes to the autism all around them. Both of my parents have come around and accepted it, and are also exploring the possibility they may be on the spectrum as well, but my brothers all give me push back at the thought they might be too. Yeah okay bud.

My extended family is a lost cause. I don’t argue or try to educate, I tell them it’s a fact that I’m diagnosed and it’s a fact that it has affected my entire life. It’s not an excuse, it’s an explanation — but THAT is not an excuse to dismiss the conversations that need to happen about how we can make society a better place for people of all neurodivergent varieties, and not just “normal” individuals.

As a late-diagnosed AuDHD (diagnosed at 31, about 2 years ago now), I still 'struggle' with my identity of being on the spectrum. I have zero doubts but the natural reaction of everyone in my life upon hearing it has been some variation of "no way, I've known you your whole life, you're totally normal" even though these same people have been the ones I compare myself to when I always felt there was something "wrong" or "different" about me.

Now that I know more about myself through the lens of being on the spectrum, so many things make so much more sense and yet at the same time everything feels exactly the same. I'm still the same person I saw myself as before my diagnosis, I simply have a much greater understanding of why I am that way and what makes me tick.

It's a constantly ongoing process -- Our different-ness is always expressing itself in different ways as it clashes with allistic expectations and norms, and that results in a constant journey of self-reflection and new understanding.

My autistic toddler who hasn't said 'Dada' in months said it while she was fighting sleep during a visit with my wife to her friend's house. While I couldn't be there to hear it, I still cried when my wife told me.

BobbyBroccoli, Practical Engineering, Real Engineering, Mustard, HelloFutureMe, RealLifeLore, Wendover Productions, Tale Foundry, Curiosity Archive, and LegalEagle are a few channels I always highly anticipate new videos from.

Mine is going pretty good. After a month in my new position at work I'm finally getting the credentials/access I need to actually get started onboarding. You might say a month is a long time to be doing nothing and getting paid for it, but I've been having a blast.

No idea why they worded the article that way. The person going to prison is the person who leaked the documents and was also the admin of the discord server they leaked it to.

They’re just butthurt that they’re not being allowed to spew their hot takes all over this community as a captive audience that isn’t interested.

You’re right. Knowing he thinks he’s being funny just makes it even more egregious.

The “first of his name” is essential. He also has loads of nicknames. Like Cleetorus. We love loudly calling for Cleetorus when he’s running down the street.

No one claims that being harassed for being falsely accused of transphobia comes anywhere close to what someone else may or may not have to go through. These two things do not have to be equal for them both to be bad, and acknowledging that the former has a negative impact on the movement for trans acceptance does not in any way take away from that movement.

I certainly don’t mean to shame you for what seems to be a desire to play the game without being propositioned for sex at all. That seems to me to be a completely different thing than wanting to remove a particular sexuality from the game but leaving others intact.

It’s funny how much this comment mirrors the experience of LGBT people left and right. Do you think it’s not awkward for a lesbian to “have to straight up reject” their male “friends” who come on to them? Or gay men and their female “friends”, or asexuals and literally anyone.

Memmy for iOS allows instance level blocking in the settings.

If I’m not paid for ALL the time I am required to be on-site and available to my employer (including for security purposes), I’m finding another job asap. Don’t give your time away without being compensated for it.

And I still never saw the way the orange slayed the rake!

It’s not even 8:30 AM and the internet has already made me feel old. Brb gotta go take my medication for my back pain and queue up some techno on WinAmp.

Indeed. It doesn’t help that anxiety has multiple causes, some of which overlap and compound each other. I couldn’t have gotten a handle on my anxiety without medication, but in my case I also couldn’t have done it without a great therapist who took the time to get to know me and help me learn the various factors that were contributing to my particular stew of neuroses. Telling me to just breathe or exercise or meditate would not have done shit for me although ironically all of those things are part of my routine now but only after a long road of trial and error and practice.

Thanks for the tips! I’m very grateful for how cannabis interacts with my brain chemistry. I am predispositioned to stress induced anxiety and panic attacks and consuming pretty much any flower that isn’t absolute garbage will at the very least “take the edge off” and the act of preparing and smoking the flower provides an excellent opportunity for relaxation and bringing the stress levels down before even taking the effects of the weed itself into account. I’ll definitely have to start looking out for good Humulene and CBG heavy strains.
