lol yeah, the grey sticky stuff 😋

me being autistic at the same time not knowing that was looked down upon: you gonna finish your fries??

yoooo, my first adult bed, furniture set, and laptop were from the trash. rich kids in college towns throw out the best stuff. it was a Compaq, and the only problem was overheating because it needed that heat sink lube.

thx! updated the title 🌳🌳🌳

you got it, dude 👶👍

“the sticks” doesn’t mean poor

Is there an informal term that would describe poor rural neighborhoods similar to ghetto/barrio?

When you’re poor, everything smells like whatever’s on sale.

That’s right!! For me, it was like whatever I had that was nice. If someone got me a nice shirt, I would protect that shirt and only wear it to special events that I knew would not place the shirt in any danger (physical activity, stains from cooking or painting, etc.). I kind of still do that and have a few shirts that are ~20 years old, a backpack that is 23 years old, and a multi-tool that’s about 21 yrs old. Never though that was associated with growing up poor, but it makes sense now.

Yooooo, I needed to hear a few of those. Thank you very much!

Same, but I didn’t marry them. I became nearly completely useless. Lost almost all friends, hobbies, work, goals, dreams, and even desire. I couldn’t recognize myself in the mirror. Coming back has been incredibly difficult since I didn’t trust anyone to guide me nor myself. How do you get somewhere without direction? Lately, I think I’m on the right track, but I will never be my old self and that’s okay. My old self got me in that situation, so the new one will be better.

Below are three songs that I found validating during these times. Two are in English and one is in Spanish. If you don’t speak Spanish, I would happily translate the lyrics for you; just let me know.

I’ve heard that people use snow tires. How does that work? Does everyone have 2 sets of wheels at home that they switch with the seasons?

auties usually spot other auties easily

That’s an interesting one with the jury. They were deadlocked but still insisted on deliberating for 20 hours. I wonder if it was like the movie 12 Angry Men, but instead of one juror advocating for the innocence of the defendant, they argued for their guilt.

🎶all i want for Christmasssss…is youuuuuuuuu🎶

i cannot understand why anyone could sleep at night knowing their value in society is 0.

You gotta switch the cables. I’m assuming right now that you only want what you deserve through your labor. If you have extra or someone else is in need, you would rather they have it than you horde it or gain some luxury. Switch the cables so that what you value is hoarding and having luxuries without any merit. If someone else needs something, your power to not give leftovers to them is confirmation of your self-worth.

You host a server from your own computer at home?

Thank you! I am doing better 🙂

what would happen if you climb into that?
