  • Ahh, old hanging balls, gotchya xD

    Yeah the medium of text can be tricky to convey meaning sometimes, I’m a pretty sarcastic person (gotta love using humour to cope with every situation, so healthy…) with a very deadpan kinda delivery on a lot of it, so I often find myself wondering if my intent came across well over text. Tricky indeed.

    Anyway you’re cool, and thanks for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully :-)

    Now, I’m going to go back to being drenched in a cold sweat! It seems that’s today’s COVID symptom roulette wheel choice! 💦☉_☉💦



  • To be fair it’s been less than a day, one of the great things about internet messaging is how asynchronous it can be, it’s great for calming anxieties about needing to come up with a reply immediately like if you’re on the phone or something x.x

    You’re right though, I don’t reply to things often enough, partly because I’m very sick with COVID at the moment but also a lot of it is my social anxiety and fear of rejection.

    I get so scared of what people might say that I avoid looking at the replies, even when I initially reach out because I want to interact with people and form connections ><

    It’s one of my big problems that I need to overcome, I’m still working out how to tackle it, but I do know it’s a problem, and it’s mine to solve.

    Alas I can’t afford things like therapy, so I just have to stumble around trying to figure my ADHD, possibly autistic (wish I could get seen for a diagnosis…), anxious, dumb ass brain out 😅

    I’m sorry in the mean time for being a bit annoying, I don’t mean to be on purpose :-)


  • Haha yes! I think we all reach a point in our lives when we truly become adults, and it’s when we realise that adults who didn’t understand our lingo and were embarrassing actually:

    1. Understood more of it than they let on,
    2. Used it incorrectly around younger people for a laugh, or to help bolster the kid’s confidence (the kid gets a little “omg that adult doesn’t know what blorpitybloo means! I’m so much more cultured than they are” boost).
    3. Realised that every generation has their language “thing”, and we don’t necessarily have to keep up with the latest word on the street to be fulfilled, or to connect meaningfully with the younger generations.

  • I found stardew relaxing! Especially, strangely enough, how it doesn’t try to grip your attention too hard.

    Like, it lets you feel like it’s okay to just put it down for as long as you like to do other life things then come back to it whenever you’re ready _

    Check out the “You suck at cooking” YouTube channel, it’s not actually for people who are terrible at cooking haha but it’s a very well produced, witty series of recipes that are simple to follow and usually teaches me a thing or 2 along the way :-)

    And the videos aren’t any longer than they need to be, which is refreshing!





  • It’s clearly bright yellow.

    Besides, you shouldn’t have to be threatened with a speed camera to just stay under the bloody speed limit. It’s literally a crime not to, and besides that it’s reckless and dangerous.

    Idiots that speed in cars deserve a special kind of hell where they’re tortured by all the children their kind have murdered.




  • Assuming she survived the nukes the UK immediately sent in response - and then perhaps others sent by other NATO nations for good measure - I imagine she’d have her choice of places to visit in the world, yes.

    …Because there’d be a whole lot of new theatres of war open for her to be deployed to as her country faces full scale invasion by the 32 Allied Nations.
