I have some resentment, personally. Not that there aren't valid reasons for it, especially in our broken system, but I have a highly restricted diet (dozens of deadly food allergies), so I can't eat out ever (due to cross contamination being a roll of the dice), and even most prepared foods I can't have.

So I spend a lot of time and energy, cooking delicious, cheap, vegan meals for myself, despite having a blue-collar job. And it does bother me, seeing people who can eat 'whatever' just eating slop.

Even when I feel like shit, and eat 'slop', it's generally a stir fry, something like rice, (frozen) veggies, and sauce, thrown in a pan for five minutes. I rationally understand the various reasons people might not have the energy or cooking skills for even that, but emotionally, it does bother me.

Bless. EpiPens are fucking expensive enough as it is.

Exactly my opinion. It is interesting in some ways, but it apes the mmo style of quest design too closely for my tastes.

I genuinely hate the description of AI fucking up as 'hallucinating'. AI doesn't need more humanized than it already is. Just call it what it is; AI being wrong. Confidently, unfixable wrong. 'AI hallucination' was a term that was invented in the early 2000's, by the techbros of two decades ago. And it sucks as a term.

I feel like the internet loves to shit on people with psychotic disorders, and its generally accepted, even among otherwise pretty progressive circles.

wdym 'Schizophrenia Simulator'?

Its not really cool to l lie about food allergies; doing so makes it less likely for people with food allergies to be taken seriously.

Though tbh, I avoid eating out unless I literally have too anyway, been poisoned too many times from I assume cross contamination or negligence.

(and, I am also vegan, which doesn't make 'eating out' easier)

is is the case with most health issues, certain deficiencies can cause certain issues. But, outside of having a specific deficiency, its all placebo.

Will taking vitamin D and B12, magnesium, etc. cure your AuDHD? No.

Could taking them make you feel better in some ways, freeing up some spoons/mental space to better handle whatever issues in your life that requires energy and focus to deal with? Yes, its possible. Assuming you are deficient, which, minor to moderate deficiencies in those three aren't uncommon.

That would literally kill me (well, probably actually just sent me to the hospital).

I thought, when I first went vegetarian (vegan now) years ago, that I wouldn't need to specify 'no fish' when I ordered food labeled 'vegetarian'. But Fish sauce or Oyster sauce has sent me to the hospital at least once.

I no don't really eat out ever anymore, as I don't feel like gambling on the 1% cross contamination chart (got several other allergies too), but its crazy to me that food labeled as vegetarian is allowed to have fish sauce in it.

A lot of languages also don't consider 'meat' to include 'fish meat', having entirely separate words for the two.

but yeah, I think in the US, its mostly catholicism brainworms

Can't relate; I do think its pretty boring. Its up there with like; clubbing or bar culture. I don't hate it, but I'm left wishing it was just like, a house party or something, somewhere less loud and crowded.

I don't shit on sportsfans or anything, I just can't understand why its enjoyable to watch. But like, there's lots of hobbies I don't 'get', so I'm not judging people for liking things I don't. And I do like playing sports, generally speaking.

I didn't care for it. Very much 'skill issue', but all the games I've played so far against people has felt like I lost the game in the first 10 minutes, and then had to endure 30 minutes of getting my balls stepped on for the game to end, since there's no surrender option, and didn't feel like there's any 'comeback' mechanics, but also the winning team feels like it takes a while to actually secure victory.

Compared to League of Legends (which I haven't played in years, but did rack up many hours back in college), where a) you can surrender, and more importantly b) its possible to win quite quickly, both from just being ahead, but also from doing a cheeky 'backdoor'.

Deadlock, it feels like the 'securing victory' route requiring minions, and also just being a multistage affair with mandatory wait periods in between, just makes it feel like a slog, both being on the winning or losing side.

'scallops' from king mushrooms might be my favorite

Chicken/hen of the woods 'pulled pork' tacos are excellent (oyster mushrooms also work)

Lion's mane 'crab cakes'

Combined with Beanis for blackbean and mushroom burgers

Also just, in soup. Minestrone is a classic, but I've been liking as a side some miso soup with just a bit of diced button mushrooms and seaweed

I can't directly relate. I strongly prefer 'person with schizophrenia' to 'schizophrenic' (or similar, worse terms). I feel that, first and foremost, I am a person, as are all people, neurodivergent or not.

But also, I support you in being referred to as you want. I don't need to relate to your experience to just, refer to you as an autist (when I would need to refer to it at all), after you tell me you prefer that.

I'm sorry she's cringe. Its not my fault (its the writers)

Gale is the fucking worst. He talks like a redditor. Probably only Astarion is worse.

Karlach I guess I can see people liking; to me its less the character, and more the writing. She isn't sold to me; she comes off not like a person, but like a new player's first barbarian trying to fight for ~power and love and violence!. I can't take her seriously, she just feel like a tumblr post made live or something.

Ugh, yeah, that tracks.

#1 complaint (and, really only, aside from bugs) about BG3 is just how unlikable every single companion is. And yeah, they do got big Morrigan energy, for worse.

Love Thai curry! Almost never make it though, as none of the Asian markets near me carry thai curry paste that is both vegan, and doesn't contain any allergens to me (Cardamon being the big one there). I've made the paste from scratch a few times, but its a fair amount of work.

I find it very helpful, for managing stress, anxiety, fear.

But like, just because I find it helpful, doesn't mean it's going to work for you. Different people find different coping mechanisms helpful, and I think part of learning to manage neurodivergance and mental illness is building up a suite of things that work for you be they coping mechanisms, medicine or treatments, or whatever.

also we should swap Top/Bottom back to Truth/Beauty

Top/Bottom can be the new terms for, idk, strong and weak atomic forces.

I only really take it once a week, though, I do also use nutritional yeast a lot. My last bloodwork showed by B12 as fine, but ymmv.
