  There could be a million reasons, but here’s one I’m familiar with - ‘task inertia’, resulting from ADHD, perfectionism, fear of failure etc

  I have to ask - did you read that entire comment and not detect any hint of sarcasm?

  Perfect, my cat loves his new flappy paper cat toy with a fun click whirly noise button under it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of Feb 2nd⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just finished Echoes of the Eye (Outer Wilds DLC) last week, now trying Hollow Knight again. I’ve tried before, I love the game, I just don’t playany side-scrolling metroidvanias and even with the map and the pins I get lost and overwhelmed.

  This time I’m trying to just go with the flow a bit more, not get too hung up on mentally mapping out every twist and turn, and so far I’m making much better progress (I think). Gonna stick with it.

  No one (except for a very few nut jobs) is blaming Jews for the genocide that is happening, they’re blaming the state of Israel. The current government and individual people making the decisions. Disagreeing with apartheid Israel does not equal ‘blaming jews’.

  Also, look into Christian Zionism. There are a lot of literal nazis and other antisemites who are thrilled about backing Israel right now, because they think that this is all part of a prophecy that brings about the end times or something… And this prophecy does not end well for Jews. So no, supporting Israel does not necessarily mean someone isn’t antisemetic right now either.

  Nope. He does the salute twice before saying the ‘my heart goes out to you’ plausible deniability attempt. Which makes it much less likely to be just a simple gesture, and also makes it very very clear that the crown is cheering the salute, not the line which comes later.

  Oof, they bought you chutes and ladders (snakes and ladders where I grew up, I guess chutes makes a lot more sense) and never even played it with you…? Damn. I’m sorry

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you voice chat without bothering roommates?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people are overly conscientious of people around them, and ask questions like these even though they are already being completely reasonable. It’s a huge jump to assume they must be being an asshole, yelling into their mic etc. Try asking next time: “are you concerned about it because you tend to get excited and loud while chatting? Or is it more just a normal phone-call conversation volume?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you voice chat without bothering roommates?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …talking, in your own room, is being an asshole?

  I always wait and check first. Like that show 1899, looked pretty damn great but I’m not watching something about anything mysterious that got cancelled
