A wasteland of things I enjoy.

remember when the poison status was intense as fuck and you had to rush your poisoned pokemon to a pokemon center and the game would make that awful fucking noise that made you feel bad for allowing such a thing to happen to your pokemon

Have I told y’all about my husband’s Fork Theory?  If I did already, pretend I didn’t, I’m an old.

So the Spoon Theory is a fundamental metaphor used often in the chronic pain/chronic illness communities to explain to non-spoonies why life is harder for them. It’s super useful and we use that all the time. But it has a corollary.  You know the phrase, “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” right? Well, Fork Theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope okay with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens.  A fork could range from being hungry or having to pee to getting a new bill or a new diagnosis of illness. There are lots of different sizes of forks, and volume vs. quantity means that the fork limit is not absolute. I might be able to deal with 20 tiny little escargot fork annoyances, such as a hangnail or slightly suboptimal pants, but not even one “you poked my trigger on purpose because you think it’s fun to see me melt down” pitchfork.

This is super relevant for neurodivergent folk. Like, you might be able to deal with your feet being cold or a tag, but not both. Hubby describes the situation as “It may seem weird that I just get up and leave the conversation to go to the bathroom, but you just dumped a new financial burden on me and I already had to pee, and going to the bathroom is the fork I can get rid of the fastest.”

Am… am I back in the 90’s?

[cheeseoneveryfudgingthing]

Bead animals were my JAM in the 90’s!! And you don’t have to limit your creativity to lizards, either! With a few adjustments, you can make anything!

AND with a little practice, you can even make them 3D shaped (especially with the smaller beads and wire, though you can make them with the bigger beads and string, to an extent)

These connect powerfully to some locked-down memories

[betweenthemustypages]

So, I'm a bartender at a good ol' fashioned pub in England - the type that's predominantly frequented by middle-aged retirees with beer-bellies who come to escape their wives for a few hours and watch the football.

And there's this one group who're there almost every few days - all rowdy old lads in their 60s. They spend most of their time sloshing their beers and jokily insulting each other and roaring at the footie.

Except that, whenever any one of them leaves, that person goes around and gives a tender forehead kiss to each of the others before they go? At first I thought they were doing it as a joke but I soon realised that they all do this, every single time. It's genuinely just a gentle and sincere show of affection and i don't know what to do with this information

Studies showed that DARE literally increased drug use

[cardenvondraken]

My DARE officer was arrested for possession with intent to distribute.

[psychoticrambling]

in elementary school the DARE officer mentioned that you shouldnt sniff sharpies or white-out and everyone in the back two rows immediately took out their sharpies and liquid white-out to see if they would get high DURING THE DARE PRESENTATION

Again, congrats to drugs for winning the war on drugs :)
