I can understand not wanting your favorite streamer to get funding from a toxic source, but why would I want them to be funded by anyone specific?

I did mention that depending on the specifics, that one could go either way.

That blows my mind. Like, where would you even start?

Your relationship with your parents is showing.

I’m starting to think they may not be as bad as you make them you to be.

I don’t know anything about this show, or how SpiderMan got involved, but this Jonathan sounds like an annoying little brat.

You didn’t give many details on the whole “forbidden to be Spider-Man” thing, so that might be bad parenting, but standing at the door all night is symbolic. Maybe a complete waste of time in reality, but he’s there for him. When the kid is ready, Clark will be there to talk. And that’s not stupid at all. That’s near perfect parenting. He’s not yelling, he’s not beating down the door, but he’s also not giving up on his son. He’s just there. Ready, and waiting for his kid to cool down from his hissy fit so they can work on this problem together.

EDIT: Hold up. I either didn’t see it, or forgot all about it by the time I got to the end, but are we seriously talking about something that was written by AI?

That’s like taking a shit on the carpet and complaining about the shape of the stain it leaves.

I’m probably a stereotypical millennial, but if you focused on any of my various individual interests, I don’t really fit into any of their cliches.

I’m sorry. I laughed.

Hopefully the doctor was able to degast your flabbers!

Let’s be honest, when was the last time anyone actually saw a doctor when they were scheduled to?

Kind of wish we could walk out and send them a “cancelled appointment fee” after 15 minutes.

I just started playing Vampire Crawlers this weekend. I’m pretty much hooked. It’s based on Vampire Survivors, but it plays like a fast paced Slay the Spire.

If you’re familiar with Vampire Survivors, you know there’s going to be a lot of things to unlock, and you already know most of the weapon evolutions.

Yeah, more or less, but habit has a different, less concrete definition. If a habit was a building, many schemas would be the blueprints for it.

Too little too late. I already went through my vasectomy.

It’s not easy to switch pronouns after using one for so long, but, if you’re trying, it’ll show. Just be supportive and help how you are able.

Say hi to Abby for me!

I just want to see what happens when it’s gone.

I totally get what you’re saying!

My personal example is when I finish a task, my default action is to have a cigarette, and/or look at my phone.

I don’t know if it directly explains these actions or not, but psychology uses the term schema for “pre-programmed” responses to stimuli.

For example, if there was a dog that bit you as a kid, your mind will remember that, and the next time you see a dog, your brain will default to “stay away”. If you encounter friendly dogs after that, your schema will change to “proceed with caution” as it now knows that dogs can be nice, but it’ll remember that bite.

They are mental shortcuts. Instead of completely analyzing the current situation and creating a plan from scratch, your brain remembers the last similar experience it had, and proceeds as if they are pretty much the same.

I’m thinking this relates to your “default actions” as: I was bored before, and when I did X, it caused the boredom to go away, so I’ll try that first. And it just kind of happens without you consciously deciding to do it.

Also, if I’m the only person that understands what you’re talking about, you might be describing a trait of ADHD. I used to think a lot of the things I experienced were completely normal, but eventually figured out that I’m very neurodivergent.

Ask porcupine lovers.

How you doin’? 😉
