Just asked my millennial room mate about socks. I’m a zoomer and somehow this lines up with our household. I didn’t know long socks were a fashion thing, they’re just more comfy to me

That’s the plan 8)

I hate Disney as a company, but goddamn the engineering that goes into Disney theme parks is absolutely insane. A good theme park makes engineering magic.

Modest Mouse is really strong as far as leftist music goes. The lead singer was living in a flooded house he got evicted from before the band started, Their angry songs are pretty good, but I’d say their real strengths come out in their more reflective songs. Lonesome Crowded West is probably their peak

I also strongly suggest Lupe Fiasco as far as leftist rappers. Seriously, just listen to Mural and American Terrorist

Perfect, I can send you some recipes/routines, see what you think of them. Personally, I have a really big problem with executive function. I have schizophrenia so I have very little energy because I’m stuck trying to function in a catatonic stage. Like I’m not going to pretend like I’m perfect, I’m probably just as fucked as you are as far as doing stuff for myself (no disrespect meant, I just understand how hard it can be to do stuff for yourself). But I have the type of autism where I can do stuff for other people like my life depends on it. I’ll start writing out some stuff right now. Are you vegan or have any sort of dietary restrictions?

I got you. I used to be a chef, so this isn’t just some random person offering you help, I had to keep cost and accessbility in mind for an entire restaurant’s worth of staff. I’d try to keep costs down, along as making it as easy as possible for you to make.

I’d even focus on food prep so you wouldn’t be fucked on days that I’m not available. Because secret about restaurants, most stuff you eat was prepped at least a day or two ago. They certainly don’t do any sort of carb daily. Rice, pasta, potatoes, whatever you can think of. They do it 2-3 times a week. Especially if you’re neurodivergent and have a safety meal, meal prep is the absolute shit. Like you could realistically cook 2 times a week and be fine for all 7 days or the week. Taco Bell recombines the same shit over and over again for new menu items, why not do the same thing at home?

An example of a meal prep that would last all week. You boil 1-2 pound(s) of pasta slightly below done on Sunday. Don’t worry about not being able to do it just right, just do it by the package instructions and subtract a minute. You rinse off your pasta and toss it in a bit of oil so it doesn’t stick to itself, boom you have perfectly cooked pasta after throwing it in the microwave for a minute or two. You make a base sauce on the same day, you’re already at the stove, what’s another pan mean? Canned tomatoes, whatever source of garlic you have, same thing with onion, and some salt and pepper. If you’re a drinker, a splash of whatever you’re drinking. You have a very generic sauce, but a great base for whatever you want to do in the microwave. Thinking Italian? Add some Italian seasoning, Parm, maybe some red pepper flake and you have a somewhat healthy and quick microwave meal. Wanna do Mexican? Add chili and cumin along with whatever protein you want the sauce to flavor, boom you have a quick Mexican dish in the microwave. Chinese? Add ginger, soy sauce and MSG if you have it and all of a sudden you have some fried noodles straight from the Chinese place.

Sorry for the long rant, I just think you’d really benefit from learning some restaurant prep. You can have a great variety of food for 7 days with a can opener and an hour or two of time a week. Everywhere does the Taco Bell method. And I know it’s a lot to do back to back, but I’m the type of autistic who does better with momentum, one thing gives me the energy to do more until like 2-3 hours in, then I lose the desire to do it for a while. Whatever you need to make it manageable for you, I got you. This place at its core is about helping each other. I’m broke as shit, but I can offer education to help you if you fall in this spot again. There’s never any shame in posting here, everybody is great, but as someone who posts here a lot I know nobody likes posting on this comm. Someone here helped me get a remote job that pays way better than mine, so I truly hope I never have to post here again and I can start giving back to the people here. Best mutual aid ever if it actually pays off

Also don’t mean to be overreaching, but if this happens again would you wanna try cooking on a zoom call with me? I know it’s not the same as actually having someone there to cook with you, but I’d be more than willing to walk you through recipes and such if you just have a hard time with neurodivergence. Obviously wouldn’t really help if you’re getting help for a physical disability, but I’d be willing to try

Amber bump whataboutism volcel police

It’s in a pinned post made recently, it’s a very new rule so don’t sweat it.

Bumping amber volcel police

Yeah, I mean I was a middle schooler when Gamergate started and I never went harassing people because of it, but I definitely was caught up in Gamergate when it was first going down. It’s one of the reasons I’ll always love Hbomberguy, because watching his videos was how I ended the youtube algorithm death slide that was Gamergate.

Eventually you build a tolerance and the weed doesn’t help with that anymore :/

Child/house care is often considered a second shift,

Sad that I can’t make it, I really wanted to make this my first movie night but I’m gonna be busy tonight. Guessing it’s a livestream and I won’t be able to watch I saw the TV glow later?

Deep mood

Yeah, I’m very well versed in withdrawal and psychosis. You need to get her into a hospital. They will give her some Librium and maybe shoot her up with Ativan. Alcohol withdrawal is capable of killing, she could literally just seize out because she puts down the bottle for too long one day. I came into my outpatient place with crazy bad shakes but relatively low alcohol consumption. They called an ambulance for me immediately because of just how bad I was doing. They were worried I was going to die right there.

She’s also probably self medicating to some degree. Getting into treatment for mental health was a game changer that made not drinking worth it.

I’d be very down for this job. Do you mind if I PM you?

What is this? I’d be really interested since my job doesn’t pay for shit.

Calling the cops is for moments that you are sure the situation would be made better by someone being shot.
