Knowledge-gated progression perhaps.

I kind of enjoy the abstruse, tortured jargon of “metroidbrainia”, but I would never use it in a respectable conversation.

The self doubts haven’t gone away, just the doubters.

Don’t worry, kitten

Fewer martini lunches too, though I’m not sure about the water bill

I just wish someone had told me “your vibe is your tribe” about thirty years ago

My whole life being annoyed at how I don’t get on with normal people and wondering why all my friends seem to be neurodivergent, being great at any subject I care about but useless in any class where I merely dislike the teacher or subject, doing overtly unusual things in public and barely noticing the stares, and thinking I was perfectly NT the whole time.

It is a deeply absurd experience.

HAAHA

I live in another country from most of my friends and video calls frankly feel too much like a performance. A phone call is the highest emotional bandwidth way to catch up and feel close.

Even though we prefer calls, we still text ahead and make sure it’s a good time.

You’re totally fine, my night took a bit of a turn and I shifted from cuddly to sarcastic without fully realising it

“to all Reddit API refugees”

Not perfect. It’s doable though

I know my own brand lmao, I just got sick of the username joke

I have been doing that since my days as u/Gradually_Adjusting on r****t. I changed handles some time last year because I got tired of people doing the same joke at me about it.

I’m not going to explain the legend of Titmouse better than wikipedia… At least not for free.

I didn’t, it’s still BLHW on my end. Maybe your Lemmy client is doing a glitch

This could be us right now but you playin

Crazy how I know a guy with a shitty younger brother who is a completely inept sociopath and has been actively ruining his life and making normalcy impossible within this exact same dynamic. I can’t go into any detail because it’d affect their business, but it’s exactly this scenario. Last night I was warning him that he might lash out to preserve the status quo - exactly how Israel is right now.

Lemmy is a small neighborhood, we can all afford to give each other a healthy helping of grace. Pass it on. :)

Pop culture didn’t do that, billionaires who own all media did that.

I’m gonna go on record and say I think you’re a good person, and I try to be too, and I think this has been a miscommunication. We’re all stressed as hell lately and I genuinely think of myself as on the same side as you.

You don’t have to keep spiking that football, everyone who gives a damn about history knows and it downplays the very real worsening that is also happening.
