Thank you for that perspective, it is comforting to hear.

Yeah? And? Intergenerational households are a thing. Communities are a thing. A culture of small communities would be, in my opinion, superior to this isolating capitalist society.

Pivoting now, why would I want anyone to wipe my ass? I’m not a king. If I die because my immediate community and I cannot take care of myself, then that’s how it goes. I don’t plan on living forever and I certainly don’t plan on life being free of suffering. It is my sincere hope and goal to be the kind of person that people want in their lives. *I want to contribute positivity and love, which is, again, in my opinion, the pathway to a good life and thereby maintain a close community that helps one another. *

Third pivot. If, and I do mean IF, you read that last sentence and responded cynically, reflect on where that is coming from and let me know. (I have italicized the sentence for clarity.)

I hold no capacity for mental imagery, so a 5 on the Aphantasia Scale. When I think of things I do not consciously ask a question or engage in an inner monologue, either internally or externally, but instead become aware of the information that I need. My information is all stored with like information, so if you asked me about a person, then I get all of the information I have on that person including our previous conversation as though no time had passed. This makes people uncomfortable though, so I try not to reference things to specifically.

Similar to another poster here, I also hear voices, which range from background murmuring like a crowded restaurant to focused 1:1 interactions, though these are usually very brief. Additionally, I will ‘hear’ various noises and have gotten pretty good at not reacting to stuff until I gauge other peoples’ response.

I am not particularly creative. I cannot draw or create art, but I can recreate things that are in front of me.

I don’t know if that makes sense, and I am happy to answer questions if I didn’t describe it well.

That’s good natural light.

I’d watch this show.

The symbolism is noteworthy.

Thai Noodle? Works for me!

I don’t think people talk about it very much because it sounds like “I didn’t love my kid right away.” However, I believe that it is pretty common based on these types of conversations. There is an unrealistic expectation that fathers bond with these little, uninteresting blobs at first sight and I just don’t think that’s how it works.

Dad to dad, you’ll feel the bond when the kid becomes more interactive and rational. Moms can connect that little blob with no problem. It’s tougher for dads, at first. It all balances out though. What you are feeling is normal. Just stick with it and don’t cheat on your wife.

Sudden drop.

No idea bro. Burning is also pretty dope.

No, see, what if we just had way less people? Fuck taxes, fuck the economy, just have everyone commit to a one child policy. Yeah, I won’t be able to sit on my ass and play WoW all day, but is that really helping anyone?

Responses will be delayed by WoW marathons.

Or like how everything becomes pointless and grey, so you begin cutting your skin so that when the time comes, you’ll be ready?

A lot of people find Jesus in prison. I don’t know what Jesus is in there for, but as lot of people say he is.

Nah. We’re a fascist nazi regime now.

2: Top tier. I would suck a curly fry-wrapped dick as a side dish to my communion.

8: As pictured, yes. With their typical batter style that allows the onion to slide out? Fucking garbage. 1: A solid choice that reheats well and consistently delivers the yum.

7: Tasty and a fun puzzle as you try to reconstruct the potato.

3: Plain tots? Fuck outa here. Bump that shit up with some totchos.

4: Good in theory, dry as fuck in practice. Texture is inconsistent and offensive to autism.

5: What the fuck is wrong with you? Deadass. Explain your trauma to me.

6: Somehow chalk that reheats into more chalk. Your mom said not to fast food and then pulled these out the oven. Worse than a sweet potato fry.

Population decline is not a problem for humanity. It is a problem for capitalism.

Yeah, no shit. I’m with Iran on this one.

Well done.
