I do all of these. Do I get a prize? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Not having to see a manager in four months? Where do I sign up?!
Fifteen? Is that it?
When people talk about inner monologues, mine is just literally scripting. The worst is after social interaction, where my brain has to ruminate over it and script for the next time. Stupid brain won't stop, and all the way home, sometimes even sounds and gestures leak out as my brain frantically scripts and I hate it. Like, just shut up, brain!
It's common in neurodivergent people.
It was a big problem for me for a long time. The words are in my head, but my mouth couldn't articulate the sounds and sometimes it was literal nonsense sounds that came out my mouth.
Weirdly enough, it turned out that I had a sensitivity to eggs that was making that (and my mental health) a lot worse.*
Even now, ten years on, when I can articulate a long sentence without tripping over my words, it still feels like a little victory.
This is a completely different thing from mutism btw.
*Unfortunately, the price of lower anxiety and better speech was losing a lot of my neutral/useful autistic traits as well.
When I got a new SD card for my phone, before transferring the backups to the new SD, I made sure to give every meme a descriptive file name.
All 600 of them.
I'm actually on track to finally rework and finish off a twenty year old creative project by the end of the month! 🎉🎉🎉
One (almost) down, eight to go!
The way they broke the invading aliens' computer in Welcome to Our Village was by getting it to predict the final score of a cancelled cricket game using the Duckworth Lewis method.
I remember reading in a book that it was hard to actually break Windows, so I loved messing about in the settings. It was probably the 95 or 98 days where I turned on file extensions on my profile and never looked back.
I also played a part in infecting the family PC with about 500 different types of adware, but oh well.
I remember when I learnt you can customise the default icons for My Computer and the Recycling bin, so I used the image in the book or magazine as a reference and manually edited every pixel to make them golden.
You mean Monopoly was plagiarised by Darrow from Magie's game.
You mean we've finally found a brexit benefit?!
Most of our childhood toys and collections were kept in the big vanilla ice cream tubs! We may have some even older than the Gino Ginellis.
(I'm not making this a regular thing, don't worry).
I used to say sitting room, but like settee, at some point I switched over to living room. I'm a Londoner, but had a Midlands mum.
Following on from the other post, I think if you say settee, you probably say sitting room. If you say sofa, you probably say living room or sitting room . Lounge definitely goes with couch.
Which term do you use, what region are you in/from? I'm not counting front room, because that's a separate thing imo. The front room is the good room, or "the parlour" if you're posh.
Which word do you use?
Growing up, we used to say settee, but at some point, we switched to sofa. I'm a Londoner, but my mum was from the Midlands, so I think that was a regional thing we got from her.
Dudes? Excuse me, girls collected FunFax too!
