It’s a meal that I don’t have to cook after a hard day of work, and is most likely an expression of love. There’s nothing that tastes better than that.

With ADHD, you can suddenly be depleted of energy, not have the motivation to cook, or simply forget to eat. When you get hungry you can go ," Ah whatever I’ll order delivery"
NOW. It may be more prominent in ADHD folk, as myself, but it is not just an ADHD folk issue. This person is just making ADHD their entire personality, and pointing fingers at things they don’t like.
Also, I’m almost positive that Madrid( is this Madrid?)has food delivery services.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
“Masking” and “natural” kinda contradict each other
No they literally don’t. It is in my nature to mask. Whether it’s engrained in me since childhood, or it’s part of my DNA, I only know how to mask, and it’s very difficult for me not to. It’s MY nature, it’s natural to me. I do not make a conscious effort to mask.
Also for your first point, I typed out a whole article, realized it was preachy and entitled, then deleted it. Tbh, I probably shouldnt have made the comment at all. But Ive been fortunate enough that my depression never affected my need to shower. I attribute that to my autistic nature of 1) masking and 2) routine. Whether that’s the truth or not idk.
The point I was trying to make, and failed to do so, was that autism comes in many flavors. Mine apparently does the opposite of yours where I’m very self conscious about how I look, sound, and smell. I am confident that I don’t stink and I’m not nose blind to it cause I am so worried that I don’t smell pleasant, that I constantly take additional measures to fit in just like everyone else would.

I’m pretty fucking autistic, and I’ve never used nose blindness as an excuse to carry my stink out of my house.
Now to be clear, I’ve also dealt with depression, and my environment has not always been the cleanest. I have had a depression den in the past. But I always put an effort into separating my clean clothes from my room stink, and making sure I always showered before I left the house.
But I also have the high masking flavor of autism, so maybe that’s why that level of effort has come naturally.

LMAO, brother fucking stinks and nobodies bothered to tell them.
We use soap to wash away the stubborn oils that cling to our skin. Water can wash away the dirt and some of the scents, but over time that oil and musk is gonna build up and give you the sort of funk that’s reminiscent of dry aged beef and a crawl space.
You may think you don’t stink, but thats cause you’re nose blind. I’ve met many people who don’t believe in soap, and they all have the same muskiness to them. It varies from person to person, sometimes it’s not THAT bad, but it’s always there.

- Comment on Recommendations for "girly" games? 1 month ago:
I already knew the struggles that women have to endure that most men don’t. But playing this game really put that into perspective, with how immersed I became. By the end of the game, I felt emotionally wreck.
Very much a “girly” game, just in an entirely different sense.
- Comment on What are some of the most cringeworthy scenes or moments in TV that you've seen? 1 month ago:
I feel like community is the only show to do it right. The product placement wasn’t subtle, they didn’t try to hide it from you. They incorporated it into the story, and anything that was an “ad read” came from subway itself, not any of the characters. They even allow for some nice tongue in cheek jokes about the product placement in future episodes as well.
Of course I’d rather not have any product placement, but if you’re gonna do it, it should be like that.
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 1 month ago:
I was on the same boat as you forever. I came back to ow2 late last year. I’ll say this. OW feels better than it ever has. Very balanced and very fair, while maintaining that very chaotic and energized feeling. They added tiered perks which really break up the monotony of the game, and also brought back loot boxes.
It feels like they realized the game became stagnant, and they’re doing as much as they can to bring it back to peak, and past that.
They also are bringing back 'classic overwatch", and I’ll say this… After you play classic and go back to regular you can feel the difference. The only thing I miss is 6v6 but it seems like that’s coming back soon too

We’re great at what we do, it’s true.

- Comment on Anon critiques humanity 2 months ago:
That was the entire point I made.
- Comment on Anon critiques humanity 2 months ago:
To be able to tank venoms like the mongoose or the honey badger. To be able to rarely get sick such as sharks or bats. Thick keratin skin or shells, such as the pangolin or armadillo. Being able to survive great falls, such as most small mammals and insects. Being able to regrow limbs such as some reptiles.
I’m not saying that humans are weak and fragile like glass. We can tank a lot of stuff. Most animals can tank a lot more.
Our big evolution trait is massive brain, adapting to our environment, and language. Aside from our nutty long distance stamina, and being able to throw, our bodies are NOT what makes us ‘superior’.
- Comment on Anon critiques humanity 2 months ago:
The OP kinda used bad faith arguments, so everyone is pointing out ways that humans excel. They have a good point however. Humans are not superior. We are not the best species. Just about every animal, insect, or parasite can kill us or seriously harm us. Our bodies are not resilient, and have about a thousand built in flaws. Our ‘intelligence’ just creates new dangers that kill us.
Humans are great in many ways, but we do not sit at the top of everything. We are great at what we do and that’s it.

Weeds. I believe starting in S2, they start doing the same song, same intro, but in different styles. I believe they even had green day cover it at one point.

Also worth noting, segregation may have “ended” in 64, but there’s still soft segregation to this day. There’s a massive divide in culture, that’s left over from administrations such as Reagan. Racism still hasn’t ended, although it has gotten a lot better just in the time I’ve been alive.

Yes. He’s not knocking you for who you are, and is suggesting less expensive and dramatic treatments first, but is saying that if it doesn’t work then he supports the transition.
I think this is about supportive and level headed you can get, especially for a conservative.

- Comment on Pornhub Is Now Blocked In Almost All of the U.S. South 5 months ago:
Its all porn, pornhub just prohibits itself from operating in states that pass this legislation.
The legislation in question requires you to prove you’re over 18 to enter these sites. Whether that’s through id or credit card info. However, this can lead to some pretty insane security issues. Just imagine if the id of every user along with their browsing data got leaked.
So instead, pornhub just refuses to operate in those states.
