  • Like this :.|:;

    Edit to be more informative

    It’s :.|:; with a ‘strikethrough’ through the whole thing.

    So — Colon, Period, Vertical Bar, Colon, Semi-Colon and then a ‘strikethrough’ (idk if it depends on your lemmy app, but mine uses 2 tildes (~) on each side of whatever you’re striking through like so)









  • Possibly. I’ve eaten fried-brim-tail and it was pretty much like a seafood potato chip (just be careful of tiny bones). I could see getting down with some crunchy shrimp tails. Maybe my body is just craving some fiber (and/or fiber-like) sustenance, but I can see the merit. Hell, if it’s edible and tasty, then I’m 'bout it. Maybe it’s a texture thing?


  • I don’t have the same issues, but I get it. And yes, I don’t “need to read” the subtitles, but I enjoy the clarification lol

    I was a “toe-walker” as a kid, some tics I had to overcome, mild prosopagnosia, adhd stuff vs autistic traits, the audio processing issues… all kinda leaving me with a bunch of social anxiety because I can’t always recognize or get to know people (who clearly remember me). I have to constantly play it off as being “aloof” or “head in the clouds”. But truly, I just have delays in a few areas and can’t always keep up with what’s being presented. And the worse it is, the worse my anxiety becomes, leading to a cyclical issue. It’s exhausting trying to “keep-up” sometimes

    But ya know… fuck it. Just being aware has helped some. I still live a constantly awkward social life, but it’s just how I am. I’ve accepted a lot of it and have learned to (mostly) appreciate my “quirks”, and just be the best me that I can manage.

    It’s not so much that I’m autistic, but more so that I’m simply me.

    Edit: I still don’t really hear lyrics either, even with treatment. The voice is just another instrument to me (almost like a bass or a drum)…but I kinda like it, because I can always look the lyrics up and clarify… if the song slaps (aka, I’m obsessed). Every day is a new adventure lol





  • Seat #7

    I could probably find some kind of entertainment-value by talking to Hulk Hogan about “wrestling” or his career. The turtle will probably just sleep, or remain frozen in a transient-stroke-like state. Seems like the easiest.

    In reality, it wouldn’t really matter which seat I chose. I always go right tf to sleep on planes; because no, I don’t want to talk with you, stranger

    Though… maybe not next to Vance. I don’t want him getting any weird ideas about my seat, if I were to get up to use the bathroom


  • Ritalin was the worst one for me; gave me headaches and was a little too “unstable” or “rough” for me. Elvanse, on the other hand, has been my favorite… smooth as butter. Thinking about switching now that they have a generic version that my insurance will probably cover
