thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

my uncle once sent my dad and me an email full of chuck norris jokes and 2 days later sent another that said "no love, for chuck norris jokes?"

not feeling the direction of this reboot of my old work frankly

a lot of the replies to this say that it's OK, BUT there should always be a path to continue finishing the game, and *ideally* that path should be grindy and punishing for the player. while I understand the instinct for that method, and know that it has been received well, I find it really cloying

it's really mean how anytime I get stoned everyone in the world can tell and coordinates to act in a slightly suspicious, hard-to-read manner. I would get mad about it, but for some reason I always find it really funny at the time

extremely delightful to be retroactively validated in all my most self-indulgent mid-20s narcissicisms. "you know who I bet is reading my posts? extremely cool hot girls. I bet they're reading them to each other out loud and talking about how funny I am"

they should bring back the blues because I wanna hear more songs where the bad guy is a train

All of this suddenly makes so much more sense to me

going on twitter now is like the dark world part of link to the past, where the shape of things is roughly the same only now instead of the friendly villagers there's some demihuman freak snarling at you going "welcome to the village of assholes!! we hate you!!" also the trees shoot bombs now

Vivi Ornitier has been banned in Standard, bring the card more in line with its FFIX flavor by randomly locking you out of your ability to play it

went to go see Frankenstein at the theater. I think this is his honest to god "best movie"

finally reading interview with the vampire after reading the vampire lestat three times and so far the opening is kind of light on lestat

it's wild that YouTube tells you when you're skipping over a commonly skipped section. that is a level of cattiness I would not expect from a video delivery platform lol

cis-only unicorn-hunting couple with the AI-generated ghibli gym pics maybe most cursed dating profile I've ever encountered

just started having recency bias and i love it. easily the best bias

genuinely this feels like it has the potential to be the first step in something big because unlike a Hope President, which allows people to think "OK I'm done," a distant Hope Mayor is something you see and then want for your own city

hell yes lol

Dick Cheney, architect of the invasion of Iraq, was found dead near the toilet today. He shitted so much that he lifted up into the air and sustained 800 broken bones when tumbling off of the top of his geyser of shit. Officials have elected to concrete off the area rather than deal with the corpse.

probably not huge in the grand scheme of everything happening, but it's so funny and sad and stupid how much of politics is reported as gambling odds now

Lestat... probably the main guy I'm like. all things considered

finally watched Wolf of Wall Street earlier this year and me oh my oh me my my did that suck shit

who up sterling they rod

I actually like for it to be cold and dark when I wake up. or rather I am a lot more effective because it sets me into a mindset of "jesus, well I might as well do this or that thing I need to do"

trying to predict what 2026 will look like

something I am reaching for is when I see 70 to 80 people yelling at somebody I would like my general thought to be "I probably don't need to add my voice to this. these folks probably have this covered."

I started getting my haircut every two months because I realized that getting it cut every three months meant that during the third month it looked kind of scraggly and shitty and made me uncomfortable. and I realized I could just... not live 1/3 of my life that way

people used to know what to do with these kinds of leaders and it would not surprise me one bit for them to learn it again with shocking speed

I was just flirting with a woman on tinder and while looking for a gif (shut up) I pressed this to see what it was and it sent immediately. screenshotted for all the text

OUTLOOK: You replied to this message on 5/22/2025 11:44 AM. ME: Oh that's really helpful actually. Can I see the reply? OUTLOOK: What reply? ME: The reply I sent to the message. OUTLOOK: What message?

things are goin pretty good for ol cohen lately

Kurt Vonnegut on buying an envelope

genuinely no idea. assuming it's not at the extremes of either end. i'm tall and broad, but I do make an effort not to loom and I have a pretty firm grip on my temper. wait this is probably supposed to be for the internet. so let's say... 4?

I am back in my place of power (listening to the vampire lestat audiobook narrated by frank muller)

I have elected instead to just watch deadwood for the fiftieth time and pretend Richardson is an ancient vampire (sun-immune)

rewatched interview with a vampire season 2, which together with the first season I would easily call some of the best television ever made. absoute feast. and now the deadly question of whether I want to stay in that world badly enough to watch the other shows set in the universe

if I woke up with a nazi tattoo, I'd gouge that shit off before breakfast

saw a guy say "the US military should be apolitical" and just started cracking up. for sure man. the politically-neutral final expression of the state monopoly on "legitimate violence." after that let's try and get rid of all the pesky yarn in this sweater

"didn't have THAT on my bingo card........" what kind of bingo are you people playing. you don't pick the goddamn numbers before the game starts! you just get assigned a random card!!

society would be massively improved if ring doorbells were banned completely actually

I like to read the wikipedia summaries of horror movies instead of watching them. it pairs well with my habit of reading the ingredients lists of recipes instead of eating. I don't really like flavors

a funny bit on a forum would be to do all of your posts in bold. y'all can have that one for free

do I know anyone who has the juice on wikipedia to successfully change this picture out for one where he's not doing the starry-eyed wunderkind face. it galls me. I confess myself galled. "just don't look at it" no

me rebuilding my following on another bullshit website

some people, you can just tell their elementary teachers really liked them and they've been chasing that high ever since

Charlie Browns mom: Waaah wah wah wah waaah waaah waaah wah Charlie Brown: oh, you mean pigpen Charlie browns mom: Wah way. Waaaah wahwahwah wah wah waaah waaaah wahwhawah wah wah Charlie Brown: yeah I get that. It’s pretty bad over there but I don’t think they hit him

Many are saying Weapons may be the horror hit of the year but someone at my book club told me they didn't like it (Source: tinyurl.com/2s4yj7j9)
