I still eat chocolate. And cheese… And ice cream. I live alone so the only person who suffers is me. 😹

I’ve worked retail, office jobs, call center jobs and warehouse jobs. I made an office ‘friend’ in two of those jobs. One who id grab drinks with outside of work and another who id chat to via text occasionally. But as our jobs changed and lives moved on. So did we.

I don’t feel the need to be forced into social situations, people are tiring and there’s better things I could spend my time on that being shoved into a room with co-works who I have no interest in talking to and have no interest in talking to me.

Both my best friends are long distance friends. I’ve known one for 13 years, we’ve met up once. And one for 9 years who I’ve never met in person. And they’re the best friends I’ve ever had. If they have issues, I’m right there via text or call to help. Same if I have issues. We send eachother gifts for birthdays/ Christmas, or just because. The 9 year friend and I do a book trade and recommend eachother things we think the other would like (not just book recommendations).

My partner and I have been together for almost 2 years now, we live in different countries. And it’s honestly the best relationship I’ve ever had. Not because of the distance, we visit eachother multiple times a year. But the distance also isn’t an issue.

So long distance friendships/ relationships can work.

Just because some people need that face to face interaction, doesn’t mean everyone else does. Especially when it’s forced by a workplace. If it was to meet up with a friend, I’m sure it would be more welcomed. But being made to meet up with co-workers who aren’t friends/ close with, that sounds miserable. Being made to do something you don’t want to do/ aren’t interested in is never fun. Ever try get a teenager to clean their room? Often not very high on their list because it’s something they don’t want to do. The same can be said for social events with co-workers for a lot of people.

I wanted something that was limited edition. Like the consoles.
So I have the limited edition animal crossing switch and the legend of Zelda Gameboy advance SP.
I also have numerous collectors editions of games.

Also, anime/ gaming figures. Have numerous shelves filled with them now, it’s really cool to see every day in my living room.

It’s easier to hope someone will have information on an individual who’s is reported on. Someone might see the article and realise they saw her in a coffee shop with a man, looking very uneasy. And tip off police.

Whereas homelessness is a much harder thing to tackle. That requires government intervention rather than individual intervention from someone who saw something suspicious. And getting a government to care about homeless people is a huge ask.
I hate that we have a homelessness issue, and I hate that it’s not reported on much at all. Things should be in the public eye, in hopes that people wrote to their local rep to try get help.

But it’s more likely you’ll find a missing person (dead or alive) by posting an article than it is likely you’ll resolve homelessness.

Me and my partner were playing overwatch, the other team had a roadhog who was tearing through us and constantly typing ‘ez’.
So me and my partner switched characters to counter, you know, as you’re supposed to.
Then we steamrolled that team and hog was then screeching ‘try hards!’
Like seriously dude. Take the L and just leave quietly. Or switch character to counter us?

I liked it. The typeface, size and spacing made it easier to read. They included all the points in a relatively short amount of text, lots of people don’t like to read walls of text that have the points hidden in amongst unnecessary text.

They put important points in bold so even if you skimmed you could see the important points and read that paragraph if it was what you wanted information on.

It makes it easier for people who don’t really understand the issues, to understand what it is and why it’s wrong.

And this autistic person appreciated the simplicity and straightforwardness of it. As I assume others would too. So it’s more accessable and understandable for people like me.

Well thank you for making me choke on my coffee. That seabirds comment really caught me off guard.

Drugs, a breakdown, midlife crisis, or just Elon showing us who Elon actually is. Find out on the next episode of downward spiral!

Oh sweetheart. Unless you account for a heck of a lot of people. Hundreds to thousands isn’t a very large sample size when you take into account the amount of people with disabilities there is in the world. And you also have to account for figures of people with undiagnosed disabilities too.

So yes. Your sample size is akin to your IQ.
Low.

Twitter. The heck makes you think I use Twitter. 😹 Try again. Asshole.

Ah yes. Your tiny sample size.

From a disabled person. Fuck off. COVID sucked and continues to affect me.

COVID is still a pretty new thing. The whole shit storm was only 3 years ago. Flu has been around for fkn ages now, so it’s just a common thing. Where we can predict mutations and how they’ll effect people and spread. So it’s not really a concern, it’s just get your flu jab this year.

Whereas we’re still researching COVID and learning about it. The mutations are different with different effects.

Until it hits normality like flu, and predictability like flu, it’s good to keep people in the know.

I’m thankful it’s still being reported about. As someone with a disability that weakens my immune system, I’m glad to see new vaccines or research into it. I got Omicron, thankfully I’d been vaccinated, cause even with the vaccine it sucked for me. And there was some weird AF symptoms, like the air just smelled like cheese, that one really threw me off. But had I not been vaccinated, who knows just how bad it would have gotten.

And then there’s long COVID, we don’t get long flu. COVID had an effect on my disability and I’ve felt worse since getting it.

So it’s not just as easy as saying but the flu. They’re two different things with different effects and predictability levels and research done into them. So instead of complaining that there’s still stuff being written about it, be thankful it’s being taken seriously so it can eventually just be a background thing that’s akin to flu.

You mean like how religion indoctrinates people and hides actual pedophiles while pointing the finger elsewhere?

And the long history of abuse of children by nuns and priests in children’s homes and religious schools/ facilities?

Being LGBT isn’t something you just wake up and choose to ‘identify’ as. You don’t wake up and decide, hey I’m gonna be gay! It’s just part of who you are.

Religion is a choice and something that can and does indoctrinate people. Maybe look in the right direction and you’ll see who the actual bad guys are.

I loved that game. It was stupid goofy fun. Serious zombie games are all well and good. But campy silliness is what I love.

Lollipop chainsaw and the dead island series are my fave zombie games.

God damn, I might do this too. That’s hilarious.

Also more hilarious if anyone ever visits. The joys of being a recluse. Guess I can give my mother a heart attack on her next visit. Lmfao.

I was worried about switching, I’m not good with change. But I love Linux. It’s so much better, and it looks simpler and easier to navigate. I’m lucky my partner knows what to do if anything goes funky though, cause that stuff confused me.

Thankfully my mum doesn’t really use her laptop much, mainly for going on Amazon or ordering her groceries. Stuff like that. She asks me questions about her phone a lot. I don’t even remember what phone she has. I just have to take educated guesses by using mine as a baseline. I guess cause I’m the oldest by like 20 years and have like 4 computers and a lot of gaming tech, she just assumed I know what I’m doing. Haha.

Glad your mum is becoming sceptical of things online. Definitely better to be over sceptical with technology these days. I’ve shifted to Linux on everything, except my old ass MacBook which is almost dead. Too many companies out there trying to steal data and personal info now.

Communication isn’t my strong point. I know what I mean but often putting what I mean into words fails to get my point across. No worries. :)

Nah, was merely stating she’s in her 50s and would probably fall for something like that. My gran was worse. Oh my days, the amount of times I had to sort her laptop for her cause she’d click sketchy links. God rest her soul. But even she understood netflix. Lmfao. I’m not really that tech savvy, but since I’m the 90s kid, I’m designated tech support.

That was my point. My mum isn’t that old and she’d fall for it even with internet experience.

And if you’re insulting my mum’s intelligence, you’re an asshole. She’s smart, just not really that savvy when it comes to technology. Everyone has their weak points, even geniuses. She still calls me up asking how to log into netflix. So while she’s smart, she’s not tech savvy. And they’re the kinds of people that these scams hope for.

Or they get lucky and it’s an older person. My mum would probably fall for that and she’s in her 50s and been on the internet for like 20+ years now. XD

Glad I’m not the only one who confused skyports to sky sports. 😹
