Actual life hack:

If you're staying up until the early morning, you need to treat that as part of your day.

If you stay up until 6am and wake up in the afternoon, you can't just not eat after "dinner time" because it's too late. You need to eat MEALS across your day.

Eventually you'll want to get your sleep schedule back to normal because it's so much better for your mental health, but sometimes we need baby steps. Get your days on a healthy cycle, then you can ficus on moving your bedtime.

"Autistic people have difficulty with change" Everyone has difficulty with change. Have you seen people? They're fucking horrible with change.

Autistic people don't like change because most change comes from allistic people making performative changes that make things more convoluted but don't improve anything.

"You think you're better than me?" Kinda, yeah. It's gonna happen, bud, you suck ass.

Autism Representation written by an allistic: My name is John Autism and I like the designated autistic interests

unintentionally autistic character written by the creator who hasn't really thought about whether or not theyre autistic: I wish I could be human like the way everyone else is but I know they can tell I'm not. And I know they're right

Apparently this goes over people's heads, so let me state is clearly:

If a corporation finds a way to cut in half the labour it takes to do a task, the people doing that job aren't going to be permitted to work half as hard. The corporation will most likely fire people, take on more work, and in all the confusion the remaining employees will end up working twice as hard to produce four times the revenue for the same pay.

Apparently people have completely forgotten what happens in ATLA, because people keep talking shit about how quick things would have ended if Aang had just gone and killed Ozai at the start.

He wasn't strong enough to kill Ozai for most of the series, dipshits. The amount of time he spent fretting over whether he should kill Ozai, and if there was any other way to stop him, had a negligible impact on how long it took him to finally face and defeat him.

He was took weak to defeat Ozai at the start of the series, he had to go learn to master the other elements and make allies or he'd just die. "But the avatar state" is something he had to learn to master, or he'd FUCKING DIE!

Maybe y'all should try growing up, putting your edge lord "heroes should kill" phase behind you, and learn to pay the bare minimum attention to the events and themes of the stories you're consuming.

Apparently Fahrenheit defenders think it's better because it measures by human standards, so it's easier to understand how hot or cold it "feels" or some shit.

What does that mean? Do you think it's not cold until it's 0°F? Or is it cold once it's under 50°F? What the fuck does that mean? Both of those are already very fucking cold. That's -17°C and 10°C! Those are cold temperatures, you're going to tell me you consider 50°C.

No, dip-shit. It's easier for you to understand how temperatures measured in Fahrenheit feel because you grew up using fucking Fahrenheit! And what's hot, cold, or comfortable is a completely subjective metric, you can't base jack-shit on that.

People who use Celsius also find it super easy to understand how temperature feels when measured in Celsius because they grew up with fucking Celsius. It's the exact same fucking benefit.

"it's intuitive to me" is not a valid argument, it's not intuitive. You LEARNED it, and that doesn't make it special. You could have learned any other unit of temperature and it would have felt exactly as intuitive.

And here's a thought: If you want a way to communicate if something feels hot or cold, just use the fucking WORDS hot and cold!

I'm going to say "People don't understand the difference between definitely and probably," and I want to be 100% clear that people who conflate those two are the overwhelming minority and, while wrong, aren't the bigger problem.

The bigger problem is the people who see those as absolutely antonymous. The people who hear "this is probably true" and think you mean "despite evidence, I think it's not true at all" as opposed to "evidence suggests this is most likely true, but I don't want to pretend we have a definitive answer"

Anyway, people don't understand the difference between definitely and probably.

Subreddit for people who enjoy thinking about silly things

Post: "What do we think about this silly thing?"

Top comment: "I think it's silly and people should stop thinking about it."

I like Fields of Mistria, but its fandom has the exact same kind of toxic loyalty FromSoft games do, where any flaw is written off as an essential part of the experience because "it's meant to be [adjective]" and any criticism is met with hostility.

And where has that lead is with FromSoft? Game after game with the same problems they never need to fix because their existing fans will defend them to the death.

I really hope Fields of Mistria isn't going to go the same way, but I'm seeing people defending 100% fixable flaws in the game, and I'm seeing communities where people who give legitimate criticism have their comments deleted and get threatened with bans for violating the selectively enforced "be nice to people" rules, while the people who respond to legitimate criticism with verbal abuse are vindicated.

Some of you are really limiting your enjoyment because you refuse to play non-relaxing games on principle. You're actually 0% better than people who look down on easy/casual games.

You all keep making asinine claims that games are "meant to be relaxing" or "meant to be challenging" or other bullshit. There are 3 things a game needs:

Interactivity.

A goal.

Fun.

That's it. Literally nothing else is required to qualify as a game.

When did store baught lasagnes go from "frozen" to "refrigerated" like it's literally impossible to cook them from frozen.

Fuck off!

100% of the appeal is the low effort convinience of storing it the FUCKING FREEZER so I can take it out of the FUCKING FREEZER and shove it in the oven to make a meal.

I'm not putting it in the fucking fridge. How special do you think you are? It's a cheap fucking lasagne, not a pack of chicken fillets.

Some people think they're strong when they're really just violent. They don't realise that they only seem strong because people who are actually strong aren't meeting them with violence.

Personally I think if someone chooses violence it's perfectly acceptable to meet them with violence, if only to break their delusions of strength.

Are they actually insecure, or are they just excessively defensive and over-reactive?

Actually it's shallow and selfish to oppose people trying to explain/justify their actions that upset you. Their explanation/justification might not change anything or tell you anything new, but why is that worth opposing? There's potential that what they say could provide context that does make their actions better, or even completely justify them, and you're rejecting that opportunity for no actual benefit.

Because what you're really afraid of is exactly that, that they will give context that makes their actions better or completely justified. Because you've already come to your own conclusion, and developed your own feelings about their actions, and you're afraid you're wrong and that might undermine or invalidate how you feel.

You're deciding that your "right" to be upset is more important than their right to be understood. You're deciding that your feelings entitle you to decide what's true, regardless of what's actually true, even at the potential expense of others.

Because, if that's not what you're afraid of, then what's the worst case scenario? What are you risking if what they have to say doesn't change anything? A minute or two of your time?

Or maybe the worst case scenario is that they're worse than you think, but wouldn't you rather know that?

Or maybe it's way more simple than all of this, and you're just lashing out trying to feel powerful using your emotional position to leverage authority over someone else. Do you think you should feel proud about that?

"It's just my opinion" translation "I want to tell everyone what I think about this, but I don't want to hear what anyone else thinks about this"

how is that not a red flag that they're a massive narcissist?
