Tbf, it’d be pretty difficult to wear much of anything as a Lovecraftian manifestation of divinity

My memory could be failing me but most likely the Star Wars Ahsoka series on Disney+, as that’s where the character is recently prominently featured.

Wait the general sense of “enduring” childhood activities isn’t normal?

I liked SpongeBob, and playing with my “sciencey” toys, and maybe one or two of my console games, and select few movies. The rest was “well this is what people do” until I got old enough to engage in stuff I actively wanted to, like age 10-14 for games and adulthood for other media and life activities.

This is awesome! I thought this was a model render until I read your description.

I’m like, borderline aro(?) and yeah having the option to proceed down a meaningful friendship path with my favorite characters/have them move in (shoutout to Krobus in SDV) is awesome when provided.

I can also see the “empty tokenism” as in, players deserve more fleshed out queer relationships instead of rainbow stickers being half-heartedly slapped on existing characters but yeah unfortunately the reviewer is probably a pearl clutching “woke DEI other-buzzword bad” type.

This was me this past Tuesday. Full arms out, tee and shorts, soaking up every last drop of warmth like a starved plant.

Hopefully it’ll sustain me until proper spring but it was glorious for that moment.

Buying anything from California will also teach you this.

(They put cancer warning stickers on everything, for anyone not familiar)

I’m going to pretend you’re asking in good faith and would genuinely like to learn.

“Stimming” is “sensory stimulation,” or self-regulating behavior. When used in this context it’s not sexual. It helps (typically neurodivergent, but I’d argue most) people better process the environment around them by having a sensory input they can focus on.

Examples of stimming are hand-flapping (waving one’s hands around), clicking a pen, listening to music, tapping one’s toes, chewing gum, just to name a few. I’m willing to bet you have stims that you may not even realize, and that’s perfectly okay.

TL;DR: Stimming = fidgeting that helps you focus/calm down, it’s not perverted.

Fondly referred to as “peer review.”

I’ve had strangers clock me in five seconds and neurotypical family members question my diagnosis. This tracks

That tracks. There’s a greater chunk of time that’s not yet tainted when you first wake up, and when the air doesn’t hurt your face it’s nicer to be out in fresh air.

Glad there’s some data behind the common sense at least.

Reminds me of the dorkwad who leaked military(?) secrets to his friends on discord a couple years ago. I think he was about their age at the time too, which tracks.
