Echoic memory! Gotta be quick, ya only got a few seconds to hit that replay button

Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked?

"Time Police" is my favorite, cause it's whimsical-ish. But infinite infinity is also a fun thought experiment

What do you want to eat‽

"Two sandwiches and some carrots" has served me well

Bone conduction bluetooth headphones has me. I have some audio processing issues, and being able to hear people on the phone... I'll never go back

I'm no audiophile and honestly can just grab my old ipod and wired headphones if I really wanna jam, or usbc-aux dongle with my phone. But my use case tends to be more forgiving than some

Bluetooth in-ear buds can get fucked. Never found an earpiece that stays in... they're just not for me. Wired or bone conduction for me

AROOOOOOO!!!

go out and plant trees that they will never sit in the shade of

I forget about this colloquialism, but find it a good description for how I try to be day to day

And some of us weren't old enough to understand the history of what has already been sown. Ripping weeds by their root is tedious, sometimes tiresome, work

I appreciate the reminder, and understand it's not just a "U.S." problem. But thank you nonetheless. I can't truly apologize for something that I didn't understand I was already a part of... but I'm sorry

I'm trying more than just "angry comments", I promise. It's strange to me; writing a comment and thinking about how it may be used against me, because of things. But here we are, and I refuse to give up my love for people. Sue me. Shoot me. Piss in my cheerios. I'll remain as I can

I used to joke that my goal was to just make it to 65. Good enough for me... but I have new goals now. I'ma live till I'm 92, and godspeed. I hate living in interesting times, but I guess it's what we're doing right now, so fuck it. I'll keep myself and remain kind for others, because hopeless doesn't equal helpless

And Heyyy friends, if you're reading my shit... good

I like your style. Notes taken

Non-verbal, debilitating autism is extremely difficult. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. It's like asking what's wrong with schizophrenia and "why do they want to 'cure' it"?

Autism is a spectrum (for now; it's the best terminology we have at the moment), and at one end you have severe debility. I don't think a "cure" is possible in the way we think, but better treatment options would be life-saving

I'm some form of neurodivergent myself and have traits that overlap with autism. Someone I love is non-verbal and currently going through the straights with their disability. I see ways in which we share symptoms, but I also see a huge divide between us, in the severity of them

I would give anything to get the best help for my loved one, because they'll never be able to have any independence without 24hr care. And that's what we're working towards. But if there was some "cure" that would allow them to communicate more... I can't even describe what a miracle that would be for so many people. It's a hard thing to see someone go through sometimes, and it can actually be a very big deal

I wanna believe that to be true and can't be bothered to look it up. So, I now know why ferrets are illegal in California!

Any that you recommend? Do you fear that it will spring a leak? Does it get too hot? Does it work if you switch from lying on your back to your side?

I too would like to end my search; please send help

You're not alone in your search for the perfect pillow

It takes me so long to find one that works, then it somehow or another becomes unusable, and I never remember what kind of pillow it was and where I got it

Just bought a new pillow yesterday after giving up on the last one I tried for a few months. I find myself switching between two different pillows every few nights, until eventually I give up on one of them and try another. Rinse and repeat

One day. One day, we'll find that perfect pillow

Probablemente tenga una configuración de idioma incorrecta

I honestly read that and kinda just went ¯(ツ)/¯ who am I to judge what someone considers commonly beautiful

Your comment made me realize the typo

I knew a guy who had a mild (but noticeable) deformity and was also gay. He was at a friend's house and the friend's mom asked him "did you choose to be gay?" (or some form of that question). The mom was genuinely trying to understand more and it wasn't ugly... she just didn't know any better

His response was great; "I already have this 'deformity' that makes my life hell in school, why would I ever choose something that would make my life any harder?"

And the mom gained new understanding that day— never questioned it again

Idk, it's a great time to practice some good meditation and breathing exercises. Just chilling with thine own self
