Gorgeous prints, I struggle to even understand how most of these are actually made!

I think I understand your argument as being “in a vacuum, being autistic isn’t bad”, which i agree with in a way; being neurodivergent in any sense technically isn’t a bad thing, just a different thing. However, especially with people who are very autistic to the point of struggling to take care of themselves, autism and other neurodivergence can definitely present huge challenges and difficulties for the person themselves and the people around them. We do not live in a vacuum and society as it stands and has stood for hundreds of years is simply not built to be neurodivergent-friendly. At all. I have ADHD which many would think is “not as bad” as autism, yet I have struggled and gone through so mich pain and difficulties simply because of it. It has been an overall net negative. I suspect I may be a bit autistic too, but don’t use the label as I haven’t gone out of my way to seek a formal diagnosis. In any case, saying that autism isn’t “a bad thing” can be touchy because it ignores a lot of real challenges and pain autistic people have gone through and is fairly close to the (frankly patronizing IMO) “autism/ADHD is a superpower” stuff. It doesn’t feel like a superpower when you’re suffering because of it.

Sorry for the ramble, it’s a bit of a difficult and nuanced topic.

Really awesome response, thanks for sharing a different opinion on all the points people have been bringing up in this thread.

Well I guess I need to start looking for another non-chromium-based browser soon…

I had another reply that gave a decent reason to support the meme :)

Welp

Wuh oh, I’m OOTL here, what’s happening to Firefox?

Welcome! I’ve saved the album to listen to later but took a very quick listen and enjoy what I hear so far. Love your vocal tone!

Ah right thank you!

That’s… That’s not what this is? I can’t figure out any other way it can be interpreted.

Yes, but then you have to be prepared to be verbally abused, honked at, hated, or even just plain hit by a car because drivers don’t understand this.

I keep trying, and around the younger people my age it’s mostly agreement, but when it comes to people even just slightly older they just “like driving” and hate cyclists and think public transit sucks. They don’t understand that the reason for their dislike is due to the poor biking and transit infrastructure and car-centric roads and cities.

Well that’s shit.

It could be fine in certain contexts - for example medical contexts - but I think an important distinction that made it stand out in your comment was that you used female for women but didn’t use the equivalent “male” for men 😊

I think it’s more a reference to pausing the doom scrolling which is maybe a habit to avoid the boredom or discomfort of the current situation, and trying to focus on enjoying that. Enjoying your time eating lunch or dinner, and focusing on that, instead of scrolling or watching a video always. Enjoying a walk without a podcast or music. Enjoying the comfort of being safe and warm in bed instead of distracting from thoughts. Things like that. It’s a skill you build and as you build it you will be more open to getting dopamine from sources other than doomscrolling. Other benefits include being able to manage uncomfortable thoughts and feelings better and also have the boredom and discomfort drive you to do other things. Of course this works best when paired with things like DBT skills to help with thoughts and emotions.

It’s specifically using compound words of the left + top words together, so I think that’s already filtered out save for typos, very specific stains, and eccentric breakfast option

Awesome, I want it

Oh wow thanks for the guidebook! I’ll try to remember that. And the other suggestions I’ve recieved.

Not sure how I’ll eat all of it 😅

Nope, just a Canadian who didn’t grow up going to many fast food chains before taco bell apparently closed all its doors in the surrounding area!

Incredible find, thanks for sharing
