#3 My autistic son asks me this every day the moment I wake up because one time he asked me, and I complimented him on considering me and my needs. So now it's in the daily script and I feel like this every time.

#15 fuck that. I know people like to complain about summer heat, but let me tell you, I've never been sunned in. I've never had to shovel a heaping mountain of sunshine out from around my vehicle, standing in the freezing cold with hands long since numb, all in a dangerous attempt at slipping and sliding my way to work on roads that were long since shut down for emergency conditions, but which my work didn't give a damn about and demanded we come in as "essential employees".
Fuck winter.

#28 Great, i'll have my secret time watch, and my secret handwriting, and no one under a certain age will be able to figure out what's going on. Also, "dozen," i had a young woman ask me what that was when i asked for that number of something.

#48 my role models were on TV. My dad was the example I needed of How Not to be A Man.

My "stack" of unread books is just this one book that weights.. weighs? 2kg. I've had it since before COVID, I really want to finish reading it, but I can't get comfy with it. Well, I can lay on my stomach in bed and read a few pages, but I have tennis elbow, so I can't keep myself propped up like that for a very long time. I can't sit and look down because that hurts my neck and my upper front teeth (it's complicated). Laying on my side didn't help. Read one line from a PDF and put it away.

#54 Realizing too late that my mother liked kids but liked them also to be ornamental and behave "as kids should."
Her problem with me is that I was the weird kid that she could never make sense of.

#85 Radicality can be based on difference from averages, how difficult you perceive it would be to shift your position, or how important you think the stance is.

#84 Have you considered switching to The Discworld?

This is it, this is the solution.

It's really the most solid choice. There's a good mix of books that are great for younger readers, and plenty that are more mature to keep up with them as they age. It's not hard to drop all support for anything HP related.

No, fuck you, piss off, Rowling still benefits and has, and will continue to, use those benefits to take rights from trans folk. Read Discworld, wait for her to finally be dragged to Hell, then do your HP stuff after, if you still want.

#28 I know I’m weird but sometimes I actually prefer the analog because it shows the time in a visual way, not mathematically.
PallasCatgirl
I mean, I once had a teacher who went on at length about how digital clocks were "tricking" us into not properly grasping how much time we had because they lacked the intuitive visualization of an analog clock. So take heart that you're at least not as weird as that guy. But also, I don't think he was entire wrong soooo...
NotTim
We are analog creatures living in a digital world. Things we can touch ( even if we don’t actually y’know, *touch* them) often resonate more than the same thing we can’t touch. See also: books vs kindles.

#21 Frequently, I feel out of place. I will never truly belong and have to be okay with that. (Doing work on myself so this is not a plea for pity.)

#25 Empowering and understandable if you wish it on women. A bit more chaotic and gremlinic if you wish it on men.

Flames at all honestly. Gas stoves put out a ton of CO2 right into the space you're breathing in. Go electric.

#43 If you can't be bothered to pay real people to make and market a product, why should I pay you for that product?

#73 ok, but honestly, no extreme sports or very potentially dangerous activities (like swimming with rip tides) after the age of 50. Unless you’re done. We age. We slow. Reckless needs to look different. Excitement needs to look different.

Depends on what shape you're in, but this is basically true -- at least about 57+ for me.

i like analogue clocks but the ticking sound drives me insane and i have no idea where i'd go about getting a completely silent one :')
