I Will Defend That Fictional Teenage Girl With My Life. I Literally Don’t Even Care What She Did. You

Too scared to look at tags/post about my interests because some of them have weird fans and I don't want them to think I'm one of them, and then some of my interests are things I haven't finished yet and I don't want spoilers, and some of my interests are super niche and I don't think anyone would care, and some of them are hated for stupid reasons and I'm non-confrontational and don't want to be attacked and some of them

Me remembering one of the most beautiful video games I've ever played and realizing I'll never be able to experience it for the first time ever again:

Baldwin is a cool name. It is the opposite of Hairloss

sexymen and trisha dont discriminate between the sinners and the saints ig

We all making grandpa cry btw

voice acting as a profession is so funny because you'll see someone being like "voice actors need to be paid better! like [obscure person you've never heard of]" and you're like "oh I wonder who that person is, maybe I've heard them voice a character" and you look it up and it turns out they voice 137 characters in Futurama and 94 characters in The Simpsons and 96 characters in Adventure Time and every one of the My Little Ponies and 27 characters in Arcane and 96 characters in Kim Possible and 4 characters in Phineas and Ferb and 296 characters in Dexter's Laboratory and all of the main cast of Fairly Odd Parents and at least 6 characters in every Pixar movie and almost every animated depiction of Superman and 473 SpongeBob characters and they've been in every installment of Mass Effect and Halo and The Elder Scrolls and Fallout and Call of Duty and they were in Star Trek and Law & Order and they were 12 characters in the MCU and they also invented t-shirts and the colour green and they got paid a sum total of $3.27 and a mothball for all of it combined. then you go burn down David Zaslav's house with him inside

Idk if this applies to neurotypicals as well or even other autistics but I think I figured out why I hate talking on the phone:

I can’t multitask and am understimulated.

An in-person conversation demands you pay attention to where someone is in the room, their expressions and body language, even if you’re distracted while talking to them *your* body language can make it clear that you’re still listening.

Text, on the other hand, does not need an immediate real-time response so I can be doing 3 different things and not have to worry about mishearing or not hearing something someone says because it’s in text right there.

But a phone conversation? I have no one to look at and have no expressions and body language to rely on for the “I’m listening I promise” cues, and I can’t see what they’re saying so it’s really easy to miss words unless I’m solely focused on the phone conversation. Which means I can’t do anything else that requires split focus and have to stop everything else that I’m doing to devote entirely to this call.

Text has its own problems lacking tone and inflection, but in terms of “why I hate phone calls” this awkward middle ground of focus is like an itch I can’t scratch.

My problem with the "looks like a cinnamon roll - looks like they could kill you - is actually a cinnamon roll - could actually kill you" thing is that there's a very big difference between characters that could kill you and characters that would be willing to kill you.

Like, the opposite of "is actually a cinnamon roll" should be "would actually kill you", and there needs to be a z-axis of "has the destructive power of a cinnamon roll" to "living nuclear bomb"

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

:C

I’m so fucking sick of AI
