Unsurprisingly, the open Whataburgers do a decent job outlining the wealthiest parts of the city as well

That model feels like pure copium. I haven't seen a poll with Biden leading in Michigan like at all and yet they have him with a 1% lead there lol and a majority of polls give Trump the national lead consistently and Biden is somehow 2% up?

As someone with a based educator as a partner, this kind of rhetoric and thinking pisses me off so much. Schools are so fucking harmful to children (which is a huge understatement but idk how to express it more strongly) and these kinds of people gleefully take up their position as functionally prison wardens and then have the shamelessness to blame everything on the children. Fuck these people. You literally just have to treat them like fucking human beings. School is designed to break their humanity. It says everything about YOU if you blame children and perpetuate this system.

Honestly l was worried about that but actually came away fairly pleasantly surprised by his characterization when I played through the game. Although it's definitely undercut by the epic bewbz shit they like to put in these kinds of games

I mean, is this true? "western" liberal society is pretty cynical and brutal towards children, but I don't think its fair to say this is a common feature across all humanity.

Oh I'm already a couple years deep in burnout already stress

I appreciate all the kind words and encouragement, I do think I have been neglecting self-care to address some life stuff that can wait a bit so that I am ready to address them without worsening my burnout. I'm moving in the right direction now though! Thanks again and to everyone else as well meow-hug

They've done an awesome job with the cast and paying homage to all the different games, I just find the actual gameplay very unsatisfying

I do not find the smash games after melee all that fun, Melee was something else and Sakurai watering down the gameplay for the sake of the casual gamer (despite the fact that Melee was mega popular with casual gamers already) makes me unreasonably upset.

Well-to-do Americans are already experts in ignoring the material reality of like 70-80% of Americans, including their elderly parents when they become inconvenient, what's another 2% lol

Thanks so much Care-Comrade

I appreciate all the recommendations! I've been stuck in a stressful period so I haven't really been stimming as much lately which is also contributing. Im still learning a lot about my stimming behaviors so I will try out your advice. Ive already incorporated a lot of yours and others suggestions (weighted blanket, eye mask, noise cancelling headphones, blackout curtains, oscillating fan) which I guess just underscores how much work I need to put in on just general sleep hygiene but I think finding better sensory inputs and engaging in more stimming behavior can go a long way to regulate myself better.

 

I used to regularly get good sleep for a while pre-pandemic, but ever since then my sleep has become so dysregulated and I've basically become dependent on weed to fall asleep. It's gotten to the point where I get nerve pain and restless legs (that in itself contributes to insomnia) if I don't get high before bed, no idea if this is a shared experience with other NDers. On top of the fact that this makes weed less fun and it makes my tolerance out of control, I also don't like relying on a substance to fall asleep as it seems to just make it more difficult to try and go without the longer I continue this pattern. I am trying to refrain from using weed to fall asleep for the next short little while but the first night I'm unable to fall asleep at all. Anyone have any advice or experience with a similar situation or just for regulating sleep in general? I know sleep difficulties are part and parcel of the autistic, ADHD, ND experience generally. I can't function if I don't get good sleep and I'm desperate.
