Beloved fellow autistics! oraNurse unflavoured toothpaste! It is the first time i've been able to brush my teeth without a meltdown in years, literally felt better than brushing my teeth without toothpaste at all, when they say unflavoured they truly mean flavourless. My recent dental appointment was a real eye opener for how bad my teeth had gotten but this toothpaste might actually help me save things from getting much worse

[cult-of-lilith]

I cannot overstate how much nothing this toothpaste was! No 'tasteless' taste, no "what are you talking about it doesnt taste of anything" nonsense. Literally nothingness paste

Domme pro tip:

Most people take a gag as permission to be loud. Either because they take it as a challenge "try to silence me, I'll show you" or because they think it's going to muffle noise so they're free to be noisy. They'll be unintelligible of course but they will make all types of pretty noises.

On the other hand a blindfold makes most people quiet. They still want to have situational awareness, they still want to track your movements, so they focus on their hearing and stop making sounds that would make it harder to hear you.

Domme pro tip:

Most people use breathing to regulate emotions and manage pain. Deep consistent breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. You can take advantage of this by either blocking their nose or mouth or by interrupting their breathing with will timed stimuli. Suddenly your high pain tolerance sub becomes a wimp, your composed and mature sub becomes a panicky baby

Domme pro tip:

Like in horror movies tension is important in scenes. You might think that to make your scene really intense you have to be serious the entire time but what you'll find actually happens is you wind the tension up to a certain point and then can't get it any higher and the scene becomes stale. But if you let yourself relax, loosen up, and make a few well timed jokes breaking the tension a little you can then wind it up again and make it more tense than you could previously.

Domme pro tip:

Expectation is an incredibly powerful tool you can make use of. People like patterns, people like predictability, they like knowing what's going to happen. So make rules and follow them, make patterns and keep to them, be predictable and your sub will feel safe and comfortable with you, they will trust you more if they know what you're going to do and how you're going to react.

And if you know what someone is expecting you can functionally read their mind, better than that you can control their mind, you don't just know the thoughts they're having you put them their. Plus now you have all of these opportunities to create wonderfully strong emotions and reactions by going against their expectation. Don't do this too frequently or you'll ruin both their feeling of safety and the effect this has but keep it in your back pocket and use it with precision.

I feel like the issue with a lot of "cozy" games is that they're so focused on vibes that they don't actually reflect the content of the media they're ostensibly emulating. Like, yeah, The Wind in the Willows does involve a lot of sitting around drinking tea, but it also includes such heartwarming episodes as "Mr. Toad commits grand theft auto", "that time we all nearly froze to death", and "Rat and Mole meet God".

I wonder if this is relevant to the story:

source post: X

why isn't this huge on the regular news? I went searching for a text source, but it's only videos on MSN and such so far

[themidgardlibrary]

You know. What's actually going to get me to change to Linux isn't going to be the bullshit windows is pulling. It's the fact that windows update will just fucking restart my PC without my permission, so, when I'm about to go to bed and it says it wants to, I just have to fucking do it myself.

Like, I am so fucking DONE with this.

I need to find out the most effective way to move my files over so I don't have to reinstall 85 steam games, probably another 10+ non-steam games, and 18+ other programs 100% by hand with none of my specified data on them.

I want control of my PC back in MY hands. I want to restart my computer when I am ready, not whenever my fucking computer says so. I want to be alerted that there are updates available, so that I can decide when I want to enact them. I want to be able to see what programs are taking up what resources - because task manager seems to need a goddamn wizard to show the shit it used to. I want to use my tech, not be used BY it.

I'm sick and tired of this fucking bullshit. I just want my tech to function how I need it to, without it bullying me to restart because if I don't do it personally I can't get all my programs and files up to where I need them myself, because I refuse to let 30-billion programs run on start-up because it's fucking STUPID.

Genuinely if I could pay someone to move all my programs I would do so in a heartbeat if it wasn't a security fucking nightmare.

[astraldemise]

something ive learned is when you become an adult most of your peers dont give a shit about your more peculiar traits and sometimes they actually like these traits. like yeah i was bullied as a kid for bringing a plushie to school but in my 20s everyone thinks its fine in fact people love my epic scolipede

[tsukiyamas]

why does this have 32k notes? it’s just a picture of a knife in a ranch bottle, is there some unspoken joke that 32 thousand people share? what is going on here, i dont get it. it’s just a fucking picture of a knife in a ranch bottle. is there some spiritual connection people have to this picture? is there some ominous and mystical reasoning that this has 32 thousand notes? do people reblog this because it makes them look like some indie blogger? or is there just something funny to this? someone please explain

[diggly]

no one tell him

[petermorwood]

This has come on a bit since 32K notes, proving that Tumblr appreciates a really pointed observation.

[coolsaddad-blog]

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

[feels-for-the-fictional]

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

[marzipanandminutiae]

They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?

[ineptshieldmaid]

My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

.

[squeeful]

While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

my hottest take

[keeper-of-the-flames]

Counter point, those machines can make me a peach sprite.

[pusheenthenerdcat]

guys did you know the tech in that nefangled machine revolutionized preemie healthcare

[maimonideznuts]

[pusheenthenerdcat]

yeah the guy who invented them made incredibly precise infusion pumps (as opposed to gravity fed ivs) which not only meant they could give medications to teeny tiny babies safely, it's also used for insulin pumps and portable dialysis machines. the key element is that it's a peristaltic pump so the liquid stays in sterile tubing for safety

(unholy drink cloaca uses it to dispense precise amounts of flavored sugar syrup)

[hedgebotherer]

Then how the haters loved him,

As they shouted out with glee,

"Unholy Drink Cloaca

You'll go down in history!"

[captainjonnitkessler]

Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.
