I am doing a 24 hour Twitch stream for Extra Life this weekend. Please send me a PM if you want a link - since some of the games I will be playing are rated M, posting a direct link to the stream here is forbidden.

I wish wings and Mountain Dew were safe for my diet.

So, for you, chicken is fowl.

Reflux is foul....chicken is just plain verboten. Unless I want to leave an offering to the god of porcelain. ;)

Diet Mtn Dew is a thing. Also, there is an amazing Keto way to make fried chicken. Bread it in parmesan cheese and seasonings!!! And oven fry it for about 30 minutes at 350. 1/2 stick of butter drizzled over all the breaded chicken before putting in the oven.

How many meetup groups did I get kicked out of.
Three count them because they don't understand my meltdowns. The other three I didn't I am still in because one has a daughter, a partner who works with autism and the other person is disabled.

If they are meetup groups oriented specifically with autistic members in mind:

"Yes, autistic meeting groups should aim to create a supportive environment that tolerates meltdowns, as they are often a natural response to overwhelming situations for autistic individuals. Understanding and compassion can help members feel safe and accepted during such experiences." -Duck Duck Go Search Assist

Conversely non-autistic meetup groups...participate at your own risk.

The problem is I can't find any in person autistic groups that are level 1 mild autism. So I look for similar groups. I got lucky with three and a midtown church center with leaders knowing autistic people, which is why they took my meltdowns.

29°C during fall? Seriously?

Interesting. We've had a relatively warm fall so far as well, but not that warm! But isn't this a La Niña year? Though usually they don't impact us as we are geographically on "the cusp" of such conflicting weather systems. You're so much more south than us...so yeah...it stands to reason.

I don't know if la niña is here but last year was very hot as well, I couldn't even wear my hoodie!

It's relatively unusual for here in the High Desert. But the cold weather is coming very soon. Experiencing high winds today.

Watermelons used to be hard like coconuts, and tasted bitter (I don't like watermelons on the best of days, but come on).

I love Gomtang ramen noodles. Not very healthy, though I do like throwing in frozen veggies.

How far away do you stand when you throw them? How do you
figure points? More for large or small veggie? Or what?

It is a good reminder that I need to get to a nearby larger town that has a good Asian market for some dried Bonito to make a Shoyu Ramen base. Maybe pick up wrappers to make some Gyoza too. A year ago I was introduced to Tsukemen Ramen. I wish we can get it here.

I hate the attempts at emotional manipulation that narcissists can pull off without a care in the world for anybody but themselves.

Today is supposed to be food stamp day. There is a zero balance. I have been stuck in my house for almost a month now. My wheelchair is broken. But I will have faith in The Lord. He's going to make a miracle out of this.

Pray to St. Jude, who is the patron of those without hope. I am not Catholic but I identify with St. Jude.

Bananas look very disgusting in the past compared to today (definitely couldn't make banana pudding/pie with those).

How far in the past?
A hundred years? Or what?

??! Australia has several species of native banana including the Lady Finger and the Sugar Banana. They're smaller than those GM Chequita things, sweeter, stronger in flavour and don't have that horrible chalky texture from being force grown. I'll take them instead of what supermarkets have to offer any time.

Natural foods don't look that disgusting. They're food.

I now have a steady trauma and anger management therapist. Hope for the best for my mental health.

Maybe you will finally get some great therapy. Make sure to ask questions if you don't understand. :)

and i apologize if this is an uncomfortable topic, but i hope you have a serious discussion with your folks regarding your future, future in the sense of being able to support yourself after your folks are gone, as in, obviously this applies to everyone, none of our folks are gonna be around forever, since i doubt collecting disability for the rest of your life would be enough to support yourself.

A woman I meet in August actually wants to get a coffee with me this week and hangout. I accepted.

Hey, that's cool. Just stay low-key. It's just a coffee, not anything else. Think of some conversation topics that are interesting, not about mom and dad. Maybe memorize a silly joke, talk about something interesting that happened to you, and make sure to ask questions about her. That is a great way to start. No matter what happens, she asked you out, don't forget that. May you have many more coffee dates.

I took it snails pace messaging her actually waiting over 2 weeks between communicating last one was over 2 weeks she got back to me today. Meds calming me down.
