Honestly, sometimes I wonder how much of neurotypicality is just a myth. I don’t know many neurotypical people, and the ones I do know don’t have their shit together any more than I do.

I honestly don’t understand why people buy games before the first few patches are released. It feels like paying to be a beta tester.

I haven’t done it in decades, so I don’t know if it’s changed, but there used to be an option called flying standby. You’d buy a ticket without a seat assigned, and you’d just go to the gate and wait to see if a flight went to your destination with an empty seat you could claim. It was cheaper, but no guarantee of getting a flight.

An “introduction” to lemmy that’s buried behind clicking through vague smalltext, and not any of the brightly colored buttons enticing you to pick a server.

This is bad UX.

Implying I didn’t feel old then, lmao

In the US it’s technically a target, since you can be ticketed for going too fast or too slow.

Ah, I assumed “relationship with food starts to get kind of toxic” meant a toxic relationship with the food, not the structure.

No, I don’t fast after, which is what differentiates my BED from bulimia. I’ve never felt shame from my eating specifically, it’s always been a method of self-soothing anxiety about future availability of food. I do feel shame when I’m reminded that’s not a healthy mindset around food, but the shame is complicated and partly about my economic status, not the food itself. You may not have BED, but I would recommend looking into eating disorders.

The only reason it’s getting brought up is because you said that your relationship with food can be toxic when you try to meal plan, and that’s a big indicator light that you may also have an eating disorder. Autism, ADHD, and eating disorders are very commonly found together, so it’s not like you can only have one or the other.

It’s an unfortunate stereotype that all eating disorders are anorexia, but not all of them come from a concern about weight gain/loss. I have a binge-eating disorder from growing up in poverty, and it’s given me the compulsion to stuff as much food into me as possible because I grew up not knowing when my next meal would be.

When I super focus on it (meal prep, shakes, etc), it starts to become a major point of anxiety in my life, and my relationship with food starts to get kind of toxic.

I go through the same thing whenever I try to control my binge eating, and it turns hella toxic.

I will never put a light mode display in my car. I will take an analogue dial over something that burns spots into my retinas when I’m trying to drive. Even with dark mode, the amount of ambient light coming off that thing is gonna bother me at night.

We need to downgrade everybody’s headlights while we’re talking about personal preference too. If the car behind me has lights that are so bright they cast a shadow over my own headlights, they’re too bright.

It has a fair share of copypasta, and I am curious what would make copypasta a meme, but not a twitter screenshot.

That doesn’t match up with what KnowYourMeme.com says

Memes are broadly defined as culturally transmitted information or ideas and beliefs that can be spread from one organism, or group of organisms, to another.
