Hundreds of Beavers!

I’m not even sure what to say about it. There sure were hundreds of beavers.

The cat has cabin fever due to the snow. I took her for her first walk in a while yesterday and she somehow slipped under the neighbor’s fence and refused to budge. I wasn’t going to let her run away with the leash trailing behind her because that sounds like a good way to let her get tangled somewhere, so we just sat at a stalemate on opposite sides of the fence for god knows how long.

We eventually finished the walk, and in spite of that, she still had the zoomies until 4:30am.

I guess she’s doing well? She keeps life interesting, at least.

Not too sure about gringo but I know yankee is correct, I hear that one a lot from folks I know in the UK.

There’s some weird linguistic drift where in the southern US, we call northerners yankees, even though in the rest of the world we’re all yankees. Now I’m curious how that started.

I guess it’s more of a Tumblr term. It refers to when someone starts typing really sloppily to signify they’re having a breakdown.

I guess it’s kind of a mean term but I really think people should walk away from the keyboard if they get to that point.

That’s so mean! I wish people were nicer about stammers, and speech impediments in general. When I got my first service job, I had a handful of customers like that, and I got a glimpse of how much it affects their daily lives. People got impatient and walked away from customers and hung the phone up on them all the time, they were excluded from everything just because they didn’t speak as clearly.

And that’s just what I noticed from waiting on customers. If they’re friends, why isn’t OP empathetic?

Oh that sounds like a nightmare! I’m not even attractive for a heterosexual woman (I’m a short, chubby, muscle-dyke-in-training with a missing front tooth) and I still have random straight guys try to get in my pants. If I end up “dating” one, we’re both gonna be disappointed.

Back when I wore it long, the problem was getting it in my pants?? How did I have that problem but not getting it in my mouth

Narcissism, like all personality disorders, is a trauma response and also not indicative of someone’s moral character as you can get help and learn not to act on your worst inclinations.

Asshole is a behavior.

Everyone’s saying bots but I think some of it is human-generated ragebait. Like that person who posted twice like “why did my friend block me” with screenshots of them devolving into crytyping as they tell said friend how stupid they are for being autistic.

(I took that bait, don’t judge, it was cathartic 😔)

As for why, I couldn’t tell you. Maybe they’re not getting enough engagement on Reddit anymore or maybe it’s not fun because Reddit already hates autistic people and will side with them. Who knows.

I’ve never seen anyone win an argument. What would that even look like? What’s the goal?

She’s not your friend if you hate her, think she’s stupid, insult her disability, and compare her to a dog and a robot.

Ironic you think autistic people are stupid but you have to ask why someone would block you over this shit.

FYI, you’re not special enough for the whole wide world to be out to get you. Friends checking in on each other is normal.

I’d travel more. I could never afford to leave the country of course but I’d like to see neighboring states or even just see more places in my own state. I want to know what it’s like to exist in the world before it’s gone.
