I have to say, I suspected this. Being honest. I said to myself, "What could run off Stamets," and that's exactly what I came up with. The benefit of being closer to 40 than 30 I guess.

Now to join your community. Thank you genuinely for commenting here for me to see directly. I'm not good at creating content (every time I ever got a burst of creativity on reddit I was banned for posting too much so I just stopped making memes) but I comment like a sumremoved!

As a Southern gal myself, I got whiplash from the implication that people sayin "fixin" are trying to sound important.

I promise, among those of us who say that kinda thing, it's seen as a mark of ignorance and bein low class in general. The idea that a hillbilly accent can seem "important" is banana sandwiches to me.

"...of the human race?"

I tried but no amount of injecting humor made that funny. Came across as more onejoke nonsense to be honest.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make. Everyone in the comments is dunking on the person for being weird. Or talking about what even is the point of Instagram (a point I agree with but I'm kind of old).

He's crepuscular!

This is the internet, friend! You should be free from judgement for upvoting cum!

They are explicitly complaining that there are several users posting content they don't enjoy.

Don't you know the entire fediverse is supposed to be cultivated to PatFussy's personal taste?

As a girl I can confirm that my pee is pink for like 7 out of every 28 days.

MyFitnessPal had a problem with anorexic using the app to compare their disordered eating in competition. From there it went downhill fast.

(Unsweetened) coffee gang represent!

I do a yogurt Smoothie (130 cals) and a cup of black coffee for first breakfast, then a carnation breakfast essentials or a muscle milk protein shake for second breakfast.

It hits my protein goals (super important- I have a very physically demanding job) but it costs more than eating garbage (or pure carbs which I can't afford to do for my health).

I have no idea. It's monstrously large so that might be why.

I was buying them and eating half of one for breakfast but with like no protein and no redeeming qualities beyond "not hungry" and "taste good" I knew it wasn't a real option. But my point here wasn't "this is what I do," my point was, "people are being disingenuous when they pretend it's not a real option many people are taking."

I work 12 hour shifts. I do meal prep of curries or stews and that makes a good, cheap meal, but the storage required to freeze 3 meals worth of meal prep for 4 days of work... plus the time it consumes in making and properly cooling and storing those meals... it's not a luxury many people have. Convenience options are very appealing for many reasons and there's this place where "I have to spend at least a day a week planning for work, preparing and putting away food in order for it to be healthy" yoyos around to, "I don't make enough to buy healthy convenience food." If I had kids I'd never be able to prep like I do. Hell, it's difficult as it is!

Hopefully, one with quiet relief.

Mom wouldn't want you miserable every year because of her.

I'm the wrong person to answer this. I react badly to eggs (just know it's gastrointestinal and unpleasant) and I have oral allergy syndrome (specifically bananas).

Love hot sauce though!

Here's hoping we see a response.

I had a hard time arguing against Sam's Club muffins for breakfast.

For less than $6, I can have nine 710 calorie muffins. But the cost to my health to eat that much pure sugar with extremely little nutrition and like zero protein?

But that'd breakfast for 9 days for less than $7 (including tax.)

People who say eating healthy is cheaper if you're willing to spend the time have never been to Sam's Club.

This is such a universal feeling.

Hey if you want a friend, I'm here. Keep in mind I have crippling ADHD so when I vanish for a huge chunk of time it's not because I don't love you but because I've fallen for one of the classic blunders (I only think about you when I'm afk or working so I'm thinking about you but you don't get a message.)

This is probably why all my long-term friends are neurologically atypical actually. We all have the same problem. And why one of my oldest friends and I catch up on a random weeknight at odd hours about once month when one of us sends the other a meme.

Didn't you hear? Massive shortage on. Most of us can't get our medicine. (And it's not "medicine" jackass. It's the difference between me being "employable, constructive member of society" and a "disaster in human form.")

This is absolutely hilarious and I can see it being a case of "well, we lost Joseph, so just put an extra Mary in there."

Nowadays they just call it what it is. Politics.

Autism can present in many ways and many "levels." Are you talking about making all of your gnomes a specific, similar presentstion (ASD 1?) Or are you talking about specific stereotypes of autism? Are you talking about giving them all your very specific brand of behaviors associated with an autism diagnosis?

Because this is all important. If you're making them all have racial traits that are like you, then I say, have at, but maybe don't call it autism specifically, because you're representing a specific type and others might feel unrepresented. Or if you're making them all have behaviors we associate with a specific type of ASD, then make sure there's room in there for them to present in their unique ways.

Example: All gnomes have ASD traits. Make a roll on a chart for all known associated behaviors, randomly assigning those traits. Maybe this gnome is bad at eye contact, but maybe that one is bad at eye contact and also hypersensitive to sound. Maybe this one is extremely interested in obscure music, or that one is really great at drawing.

There's a lot to figure out but I think you can do it! If you want to. It's cool to write things we're familiar with but also to be true to our own experience. I have ADHD but my behaviors are very different from my ADHD boyfriend, and both our types are valid.

Loved me some Chip's Challenge.

I assume since this refers to changes in hearing, that if you've had this problem since birth, you're probably not accounted for.

Shoutout to my fellow ADHD folks. God knows you can't hear me over that song playing in your head.

Gotta get through the Bell Riots before we get our Star Trek future.

You just told them a "better example" than the one they made, because the example you told them was "better" was one you could disagree with, and that shit was transparent as hell.

You talk about wanting free debate but you used an actual strawman.

Thank you.

I think that is exactly why that problem persists. Among a certain subset of the population, there is no need to look further. Why assume that there's a deeper message there?

Which is why it's always so frustrating when you see someone arguing that you should only be able to vote if you serve. (Yes, this really happened to me.)

I love the way the smoke seems to be coming off of the top of it...

Whoever down voted this has no sense of humor.

Ah. The Starship Troopers problem.

Where can I play this game?

I sometimes think I'll never be a success in life if no one attributes the "fall" of society to me.

Still a favorite. So much later humor got its start in someone watching this movie.

His nervous sweating is so precious.

Actually, that's amazing. Like even if you believe in these things, the karmic "payback" for trying to do evil with it is paid immediately by being scammed.

Man I had to reread that headline like five times. "How was the man, who was killed, rebuking anyone?"

Holy crap. Cats fearing ceiling fans is a whole thing. I had no idea!

Thank you so much! Now I have a plan!

I'm renting so I can't take it down completely and I'm short but I'm going to get a ladder and try to remove the blades. I won't be able to do it until Friday though...
