a real "divide by zero" moment
Imagine texting a friend every day. Like, being fully in the back and forth, talking about whatever. That's gotta be a good feeling.
Good thing we have all these acronyms to get mad at
"Hold on! I'm rerouting your original destination of: McAlister's Deli in order to send you to the nearest Confederate monument"
Fun fact, if you did this in 1861, the Civil War would've featured a generic "five elemental stones" quest of some type involving five former presidents.
I also like the idea of the "bosses" of the Civil War being presidents who failed to stop it, and in some cases made it worse. Fun stuff
edit: we've had five living former guys at multiple points, I just think the 1861 occurrence is narratively funny. Lincoln gesturing wildly while the five previous guys shrug
edit 2: from now on the president is called "the guy"
remembering the one time I asked two of my friends to check in on me via text during the week and neither of them did and I never knew how to bring it up to them and now we don't talk
Now, when we said everything...
Just curious, has anybody played Bendy and the Ink Machine? I'm probably gonna pick it up because it looks neat, was wondering if others enjoyed it
Turns out this was all just a big misunderstanding
I set limits on screen time for each app, and I generally follow them. It takes some conviction frankly but it's for my own good
::: spoiler ranting about neurodivergence As someone who is deeply neurodivergent, it's all just frustrating. I feel like I have to tape together a little makeshift version of social acceptance. And I don't think my brain is capable of merely letting go of every time someone was offering friendship the normal way and I just couldn't pick up on it.
There's a frustrating gap in that I don't know what neurotypicals know and grasp about the world that I don't. I just know that they know something, or just get it, and I'm at a deficit, I guess. How someone can turn 30 with the mental fortitude of a 9 year old is beyond me, yet here I am.
Sometimes I hate how subjective everything is. I want there to be a correct number of friends, a proper threshold of how often we talk. I can't have both friends who talk once a year and friends who talk twice an hour, there have to be more specific categories than that.
Without something concrete, I don't know what this is. Like, we just talk about whatever? What does that mean? What are we? Are we anything? Am I anything? What if I'm not real. Oh dear.
Edit: it's a big point of contention for me that I have been called intimidating before, and apparently my resting face just looks fucking miserable to most people. I don't know how to change that, if I'm supposed to literally be smiling at people or what.
I want to learn more feminine mannerisms and I want girl friends because I've only really had guy friendships but I guess I'm just too fucking scared to talk to girls.
I feel like I will be seen as a creepy guy no matter what, if I'm being completely honest. Like that's just how I assume people see me. It feels like a total fluke that people ever approached me to begin with. All that did was create a false expectation that people care.
So now I have to walk up to people and I guess say things like "being a guy makes me sad... does anything make you sad?" or "can we go shopping for clothes together?" or "can you teach me how to be a girl" and try not to walk into the ocean
