I still have the html files for my first geocities site. It was a Commander Keen fansite with info that was already on every other fansite. But it was mine! And I used marquee tags and gifs whenever I wanted to, and WordArt for the page headings.

My apologies.

The best was on the old T9s where you’d try to type mum, but its first choice would be nun.
- Comment on Neurodiverse people on benefits to be helped into work in bid to cut welfare bill 2 weeks ago:
Right? Is it so hard to just ask “what are your relevant skills and what experience do you have”? Why be so general and vague? I don’t get all the fakeness, I really don’t, especially in jobs like retail. Why the need for long forms and multiple choice questions and all the other nonsense.
Interviews only test how good you are at interviews, not how good you are at the job.
- Comment on Neurodiverse people on benefits to be helped into work in bid to cut welfare bill 2 weeks ago:
Same with me, except every job I got was from employers who were desperate and would take anyone. The only exception is the job I have now, which ironically enough, I’m kinda crap at.
Traditional job interviews are very much geared against autistic people. I was absolutely awful at interviews, until the job centre actually sent me to a coaching service and I had it spelt out exactly what each interview question meant and what kind of answer I was expected to give.
Turns out “tell me about yourself” doesn’t mean tell them where you were born and what your hobbies are 😅

After the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there was a minor trend to call them USers.

Nope, I don’t think I’d ever heard of it prior to the Arthur version.
We did the fall of Icarus in Year 3. My little sister learned Theseus and the Minotaur when she was around the same age, which is how I knew about it. Other than that, I don’t remember studying Ancient Greek anything, not even Heracles. Your school was obviously better than mine.
- Comment on american culture 1 month ago:
Mine didn’t. We did Buddy, The Crucible, Animal Farm and Shakespeare from what I remember. First I heard of the Odyssey was when I was 19 and DW did a retelling of it on Arthur. When I saw a copy of the story in the shop I worked at, I got it so I could read the actual story.

Can a catapult launch a 90kg projectile over 300m? No, didn’t think so.
- Comment on Happy birthday, peon 2 months ago:
I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 2 months ago:
Haha, okay, but they’re nothing special. I used to buy kits, but now I make them from scratch.
There are for my nieces. I’m currently making a game room for my mate, a full house and I’m thinking of making a mini vinyl shop too.
This was my first attempt at soldering too, as I couldn’t find any 3V LEDs prewired. Let’s just say it was an adventure, but it was worth it.
- Comment on Uh. So how are the Maplin's in your area doing? 2 months ago:
Yep, they’re great. I used them to buy some LEDs and battery holders for my miniatures.

That’s really great to hear!

Also, tinned coconut milk is actually labelled coconut milk just fine without a problem.
I wonder how many people might be be put off dairy, even if it’s just for a moment before putting it out their mind, if all dairy products were labelled mammary secretions.
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 2 months ago:
Awesome! Did it do what it said on the tin? Did you make the mental shift so that you didn’t want to smoke after? Or do you ever feel tempted?
- Comment on Good to see AAFES looking out for my health 2 months ago:
You might try Allen Carr’s easyway book, it’s meant to make you give up in a way that you don’t even want to smoke anymore, rather than fighting the urge. I’m a non smoker so I can’t give my personal experience on it. But it was recommended by some former smokers on the ukcasual community. I bought a used copy for a colleague, but I don’t work there anymore, so I’ll try to catch up with him sometime and find out how he went with it. I’m currently reading Carr’s other book, The Nicotine Conspiracy, and I’m finding it very interesting. (I have an ebook copy of his easyway book if you want it).

That’s okay. The GF actually stands for gayfriend.

Microwave for water?! I am going to spontaneously combust with rage, and you can use the heat to boil the water for your tea properly! 😡🥵🔥☕👍🏽

It’s not even innuendo, it’s just overt! “That’s what s/he said” comes up every five minutes!

Yep. Just watch any of Thunderfoot’s musk videos and you’ll see that clip featured at least once.

That might be a bit awkward given I’m a woman!
It’s tricky, because I would feel worse if anyone asked if I was okay. I’m very much an introvert and would just reply with I’m fine, or just pretend to not have heard you. But other people might appreciate the offer of a tissue and a chat.

My therapist actually has blue hair though…
- Comment on This is you tomorrow 2 months ago:
Well, I mean, I didn’t do it on purpose. I prefer to go somewhere private if I need a good cry, but when that’s not an option, if I gotta let it out, I’m gonna let it out. I care less about strangers seeing me cry than people I know.
- Comment on Thanks for the warning I guess?? 2 months ago:
My android 6 tablet and my android 13 phone both do it when I have earphones in.

You can get away with it in London. Source: experience.
You can cry on the tube and the bus, and the rule of “don’t make eye contact” means everyone just leaves you the heck alone and lets you get on with it it peace. I’ve twice cried while serving customers (after being bullied by a manager, two different jobs) and customers just try to get out of there. They might look at you a bit concerned but they mostly mind their own business.
