eBay is usually the cheapest IMO
The same vintage “rare” McDonald’s T-shirt I wanted was $50+ on Etsy, Mercari, Poshmark, even some eBay sellers. But I got it for $2 from a dude on eBay 🤷♀️
Etsy is way worse at what OP is talking about, but I’m using it for vintage stuff not really electronics. For electronic stuff I use Swappa mostly
Yeah I just wish they had gone into detail since this was a groundbreaking medical discovery
I wish this article talked about how they are treating it? They just said she is doing well
I would highly recommend you stop speaking for other autistic and ADHD people. If you think accommodations can help you with everything, that’s great. I’m not doubting that. But it’s ignorant as fuck to assume that your experience is the one true experience and you already know my entire life experience and autistic traits to be able to correct me like that.
Let other autistic and ADHD people speak for themselves. We are more than capable.
I don’t disagree that neurodivergent people would have a way better time if people/society took them into consideration more. But I am low support needs and still consider it a disorder. My boyfriend has ADHD and agrees. While there are a lot of things that would be fixed by having sensory friendly environments for example, there are still a lot of things about being autistic that hinder me that I wish would go away regardless of what accommodations exist.
I knew this was going to be MA. I know exactly who owns that Ghostbusters car lol. Not sure about the Scooby Doo though
Yeah “just” got hacked 3 days ago lmao
Pretty similar experience to what others have mentioned, so mostly echoing what they said.
With a shutdown I “hit the wall” so to speak. I could have been fine when things started out but I have reached the point where whatever it is has built up and I have reached my limit of overstimulation. I will stop participating in conversation, if it’s really bad I won’t even move much or be paying attention.
Because I grew up with “you’re not autistic you’re just high maintenance” parents I learned to “save” my meltdowns. I may have short responses or act annoyed when I’m around others. Inside I am raging. And I know I’m raging for no reason aside from the environment, but I can’t help it. Which makes me more mad lol. Overstimulation is not just “wow it’s loud in here” it’s physically painful to me to continue to exist in that environment. Once I get home I rage cry.
Another thing that can make me shutdown or have meltdowns is plans changing, not only overstimulation. When I have plans it is like my entire life leading up to that point is built on the fact that I will be doing X at Y time. I have spent the time to mentally prepare myself to do X at Y time. If those things change, everything feels fucked up.
Recognizing when I am becoming overstimulated helps me a lot now that I actually understand what is happening. If I get to take a break and go for a walk or go somewhere quiet it usually prevents me from having a full on meltdown later. Also just… Admitting what is happening. Like “I am angry because the time changed from 3pm to 5pm and I was not mentally prepared for that.” But some situations are just too much and it ends up happening anyway.
Very true. Ok updated sentiment
So he couldn’t present the evidence after the election and needed to break the law instead, but it magically appears after the fact for a press conference when he goes to trial
So he couldn’t present the evidence in court to exonerate himself, but it magically appears after the fact for a press conference… Interesting
Yes, I do get upset when people act like disabled people needing accommodations is ruining their life. For obvious reasons. Disabled people had no accommodations in games for literal decades and suddenly able bodied people act like it’s the end of the world when they start getting introduced. The difference is that some disabled people literally cannot play when you have a choice. And ranting, on multiple forums, about how accommodations will ruin your hypothetical competitive game that doesn’t even exist yet!
And games are not the only scenario, I see a similar attitude in every instance where disabled people are granted accomodations.
You want accomodations to not exist in certain scenarios. Your comment was clear.
I have never once gotten a job from applying directly. It seems like applying directly just immediately deleted your application. I’ve always gotten my jobs from referrals or a recruiter reaching out
When did games go from being something fun to do, to people getting so serious about them that they would rather fuck over a bunch of disabled people than lose a game?
Whenever I play competitive games I see people raging in the comments like every game, and it’s usually people who aren’t doing very good that round because they want to blame everyone else for losing. Idk why y’all are paying $60+ just to be angry the entire time. Fuck around and have fun, it’s not that serious.
It’s so bad you’re STILL mad about a hypothetical situation that doesn’t even exist. Spiderman 2 is single player. If it was competitive, and disabled people being able to play ruins your life sooo much, then don’t play it. Crisis averted.
And the bus company that agreed to this shit
Or even less meat. Most countries do not eat the giant portions of meat or meat for every meal like the US does. Plus it’s way cheaper
Yeah exactly what I predicted has happened. People who were “pro-life” and protesting were still able to get abortions when they needed it. And they were taking advantage of that. But now their shitty decisions are actually affecting them, and not just every other woman who is a “murderer” but their abortion is different, and so they are not very happy that they got what they wanted.
People OVERWHELMINGLY want abortion to remain legal. Every time it’s on the ballot people vote to keep it legal. That’s why Republicans are trying so hard to keep it off the ballot or require a super majority of the vote. They know it’s unpopular.
Yeah because the only ammo they have for their side is made up bullshit
Its some shirt they gave out as a promotion for the Flintstones movie in 1994 lol. I have weird taste
