I appreciate you sharing that. I’d never heard of this exactly, but it fits my experiences with the autistic community.
Being a little pedantic, I don’t think gay or black are disabilities, but, on the other hand, why wouldn’t my reasoning apply to any descriptor? “Nobody’s whole identity should be boiled down to a single trait, so wouldn’t the same logic apply?”
This is just something I was taught as part of the secondary education program in university and was culturally popular at the time. There’s no semantic algorithm we can follow that will instantly make us sensitive and kind. In fact, I’m pretty sure virtually every tactic would offend someone somewhere.
The hard work of it all is listening to people and caring about their feelings. So I hear you autistic brother and will try to bear this in mind. I just thought the person first mindset was a good one generally.

I was taught that for any form of disability, “put the person first,” never “a mentally disabled person,” always “a person with a mental disability,” making the condition a descriptor rather than the core identity.
I’m not sure that would have helped you but feel like it’s good advice generally

I gotta agree to an extent.
If I play a fighting game, I have to focus and react, and I can feel my blood pressure / heart rate up.
But I’ve also absolutely rotted my brain at 3am trying to max crafting just clicking that fkn rock over and over again.
I’d wildly guess that, if you don’t let the video games be brainrot, they’re also not quiiite gonna scratch the, “I wanna lay on the couch and let my mind melt,” itch, and you’ll have to face some suck
Entirely projecting, just what my experience is like

I mean if it works for you and you’re happy, that’s what matters.
If it were me, eventually video games would just be the new addiction.
Moderation and all that

Get ready for it to suck. Embrace the pain like a masochist.
Currently seems like you have a pretty solid routine of wasting days on YT. While it may be long term painful, it’s short term very pleasant, and it’s gonna be hard to force yourself to do anything less pleasant.
Gotta expect the suck and treat the feeling as progress.
Or substitution for other dopamine dumps, but that’s just making a new future problem

This is genuinely good culinary advice. Thank you for sharing. I may try it soon.
That said, you bastard! You took all the delicious mustard gas tingle out of the onion! Poor ex-delicious onions.

There’s a scene in the original Trigun where one of the Gung Ho Guns, Rai-Dei the Blade, is obsessed with his chance to face Vash because he wants to see what wisdom exists right at the point of death, and he’s sure Vash (with his crazy dangerous life) has seen it and can show him.
Vash responds saying he’s stood on that ledge many times, and he’s only ever seen fear.
The Blade says that just means he’s a coward and engages in the fight to see for himself. Eventually he winds up on the ground with Vash’s cannon pointed at him preparing to fire, and he thinks that he can finally see it, but all he sees is fear.
I always thought this was surprisingly realistic for an anime spouting lofty ideals.
Our DNA has had 4 billion years to learn the very pragmatic fear of death. I don’t believe anyone faces death without fear. Not if they really have time to think about it.
But it’s just as pragmatic to set that aside to focus on what needs doing while you’re alive. It’s the most predictable consequence of being born. You’ve had a lifetime to make your peace.
Don’t expect death to stop being scary, and don’t try to face it without fear. Just find reasons to keep moving despite that. (Just my 2 bits.)
