I’m glad this was your takeaway as well because it felt to me like the second person was belittling the first, and… they really should shut the fuck up.
- Comment on Partner has ADD, do I have misophonia? 1 week ago:
The boyfriend (also ADHD) and I both have it for people making eating sounds, like eating with their mouths open. Your mentioning smacking made me think of that. Agh!
- Comment on Partner has ADD, do I have misophonia? 1 week ago:
I get real mad when people use ADHD as an excuse to be an inconsiderate bag of dicks.
I prefer to be interacting with several forms of media, yes. But I don’t need the sound up on all of them, and if I did, I’d put on my BT headphones and mix the sound levels individually. What an asshole.
- Comment on Partner has ADD, do I have misophonia? 1 week ago:
I’m ADD as hell and I couldn’t have got with someone who played their things loud like that. I can tolerate one audible thing, but multiple?

You know that was why they stopped with calling them weird.
Because it was working.
- Comment on The new AMERICAN pope doesn't even speak AMERICAN 2 weeks ago:
He also made a statement about building bridges.
For those among you who don’t speak Catholic, this was a direct call-out to Trump. Francis was known for saying you should build bridges, not walls.
- Comment on Here kitty kitty 2 weeks ago:
Worse than that, it’s something incels tell each other about why women aren’t having babies. Because they have cats that satisfy the maternal urge.
For the record, babies crying- doesn’t matter if I’ve given birth to it or not- is not a “cute” sound. It is an enraging sound. It makes us move quickly because we hate it.
If we thought baby cries were cute things we wanted to listen to, we wouldn’t hurry to help the child, and thar completely defeats the purpose of it.

Oooh, thank you for reminding me that game exists. I still haven’t played it, and so many people have told me it’s good!
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
There are over 1,000 pokemon. I think it’s a Tolkien situation- where famously, you can’t write fantasy without using ingredients that Tolkien created, because if you do, obviously it’s from Tolkien, and if you didn’t, the reader is asking why not? That kinda deal.
If you set out to create a game involving collecting, or even looking at and cataloguing, a bunch of different fantasy creatures, you’re going to have some that are at least a little similar to pokemon. The electibuzz/grizzbolt example you gave is a fantastic one. You’re claiming it’s stolen, but that there is a cat creature with a single lightning bolt in it’s belly. Versus a… monkeything? Covered in them. My point here being, even if they didn’t steal (which, I’m sure they did, there are other, better examples) at a certain point you have to accept that with 1,000 pokemon, there’s going to be overlap, so you either need to just be up front about the stealing, or you need to spend 5x the amount of development time making sure none of your creatures have overlap.
Personally, Pokemon has been around for more than 25 years. Even if they released a million games a year, they shouldn’t get to gatekeep ‘all creature-collection simulators that you use balls for and that you can ride like a dragon.’ Fuck that. They got infinite money back on their initial investment, and they shouldn’t be allowed to just own the ideas. This is the kind of bullshit that makes me (a lifelong pokemon fan) want to never, ever, ever give them money again.

Love that energy! That’s kind of how I feel about the Elder Scrolls. I can’t get into it but I’m so glad there are people who do.

I’m glad someone on the internet finally figured out that we all have rules about forks.

- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 4 weeks ago:
Glad you mentioned ‘next of kin.’ This is the important answer. If you’re married, you can do all that important legal stuff- make medical decisions if your partner is unconscious or indisposed, get the death certificate if that happens and give it to all the people who will need it.
Say your partner is in a car accident and you go to the hospital. There’s no marriage, no forms, no nothing to indicate you’re at all related to this person. You’re just some dude or lady, showing up at some dude or lady’s bedside. You can’t make the decisions for this person. Even if, say, they have a horrible narcissistic mother they’re estranged from- that mother, just by being the mother, can get all the authority to make decisions your unconscious partner would hate!
(Drawing from my own life. Fuck my mother.)
You can’t even call the hospital and get information on them. If they aren’t awake to indicate a release of information, the hospital can’t let you see them, can’t tell you anything.
This is just the first example that came to mind. The purpose of marriage is, it’s a legal way to indicate that you’re the most important person in the life of the person you marry. (And yes, depending on where you are and laws in your state or country or whatever, domestic partnership and other stuff can grant that, too.)

Eeeeew I feel like this really diminishes both ADHD and autism.
Especially since it’s so damn difficult to actually get a diagnosis if you have it.
