    Gotta love how my friend just pointed out the juxtaposition of me finding Wario creepy while being really into Waluigi.

    My neighbors have gotten so loud all the time that they kept me up until 5:00 AM and woke me up at 9:30. I'm currently in a really bad mood and it's such a problem that I had to tell my landlord.

    I hate Twitter but if there's anything I miss about it, it's how it was a good place to write down my random thoughts and minor complaints without feeling like I'd be annoying for posting a few hours apart. Sometimes I like to be vocal about whatever I'm thinking about, no matter how stupid it is and Twitter is great for that. I wish there were another platform that weren't as much of a hellhole as Twitter where I could say my random nonsense to people who might be willing to listen on occasion.

    consider yourself welcome to share your feelings here! you have the benefit of a tightly-knit community that may be more given to empathy than twitter's entropic grandstands

    Crazy how you can get emotions over not only memories you have, but also memories you don't have. I've been thinking about how being an only child with emotionally distant parents caused me to grow up feeling isolated, made even worse by my mom never letting me go to public school. I never got to do anything fun with them at home and therefore didn't develop fond memories of growing up. It feels like I missed out on a true childhood and now that I'm an adult, I can see just how much I wish I had that.

    So anyway, all those thoughts came from listening to Wii Sports bowling music.

    I feel like I never really let go of the things I liked as a kid since they helped me cope with my horrible real life situation. I still live in my imagination most of the time, I still love plushes, and I've developed a reputation at my college for being "the Mario guy." I know I used to feel really insecure about being as openly into Mario as I am but nowadays my belief is that I'm a depressed, autistic college student living in a society that's doing everything it can to shut me down so anything that makes me happy is something to be celebrated.

    Damn, being an English major sure has made me verbose.

    I think that's the right mentality to take! There's nothing wrong with loving Mario. While I didn't seriously get into the franchise until later in my teens, there's something about it that always puts a smile on my face. People boil it down to being simplistic and childish, but there's a lot of thoughtful decisions that go into the making of Mario games so that they can bring that unfiltered joy.

    Honestly, to some extent I would say cringe culture or making fun of adults for liking things is just repackaged ableism, since we all know those who get that amount of comfort from fandoms and actively participate in them the most are dominantly autistic. I mean, I'm also an autistic adult myself.

    It's a lot nicer, and liberating, to see it for what it is and decide not to bother with any of it. Especially when life is rough. It's okay to take what you can get and holding it back for some... what, sense of maturity-superiority?... it doesn't amount to much in the end, and I think that's easier for us to see as opposed to our allistic counterparts.

    I left most social media because the negativity was just too much for me. I like hanging out in the more tight-knit communities where people enjoy just hanging around each other. Even my school friends think it's a little charming that I carry around a King Boo plush to help with my generalized anxiety. I'm not some kind of failure in society because I enjoy staying at home and writing stories and playing Mario Kart even though my mom would really like me to think that. It's definitely important to just accept that people have interests that might be different from yours and let them enjoy it.

    And yeah, there definitely comes a point where "cringe culture" is just another label for blatant ableism. Adults have interests, and just because they may lean more "childish" (as much as I hate that term, I can't think of a better one) doesn't mean it's worthy of dunking on them for being "weird" and "cringe." Like I said, the world is a horrible place to live in right now, especially at the age where we'll be dealing with all the problems the older generation is leaving us with on their way out. Any shred of joy you can get out of your interests, no matter the target demographic, is a good thing.

    Hallo.

    It's been a while, hasn't it?

    Basically, I've been dealing with the stress of college and deteriorating mental health and haven't been inclined to check in here lately. Well, I just finished with my last final a couple hours ago so I thought I'd drop in and let everyone know I'm okay. I probably won't be going back to activity very much, but I'm glad to be done with my freshman year of college after this much time.

    My mom committed a felony update #2: the money has been returned to my account, except for $45 that's unaccounted for. I'll probably still take all my money and move it to a new bank account that she doesn't have control of though.

    ...was she actually charged as felonious

    I never pressed charges, but Massachusetts law says that theft of any property worth $250+ is a felony and she stole a lot more than that. I doubt she'll ever be charged with a felony though.

    Update to the whole "my money got stolen by my mom" thing: Turns out that if there isn't some stupid loophole with her having access to my bank account, then I could sue her on felony larceny charges. I have no idea if that will actually happen, but it's good to know the law is most likely in my favor if I do go after her.

    Per LJS; my advice is to start looking into it now, as while I need to learn more about how the laws work in these instances but especially you should avoid not being able to sue her like she deserves because she realizes you're going to take action on it and gives it back only because of that. Even if that isn't all bad because you got the money back, you need to seriously take action against her behavior, no matter what. Your not responding to her calls as you mentioned a bit ago is a good first step, for example, as you've already done what you could there.

    My mom's birthday gift to me was stealing over $1250 from me because I wouldn't answer her relentless phone calls 🙃

    @LavaSherbert Wow you posted exactly half a day after me
    I agree, that's theft and something that should be able to get one convicted

    I would probably consider suing if it weren't for the fact that she immediately wrote a check to my dad, who's going to (most likely) give it back to me. I'm also a little unsure what the laws surrounding it would be given that she has "approved" access to my bank account, even if that approval was from when I was about 13 and couldn't actually legally approve something like that.

    Get your own bank account without her involvement asap and transfer your funds to it.

    I'm feeling nostalgic for the days of February when I had no neighbors on the other side of my bedroom wall and I knew I could actually sleep without neighbor noise bothering me.

    A throwaway practice sentence from my German class managed to manifest itself into reality about 30 minutes after I left.

    Every now and then, I'll randomly get fixated on the theme song from a sitcom that I've only watched a couple episodes of. Right now it's Parks and Rec.

    Water can help with that at least marginally. Also keep record of which people it is that cut your hair so you know who is more likely to do a good job with what hairstyle you wanted and other aspects

    I think I would rather have aphantasia than constantly have my mind haunted by any slightly creepy imagery for hours at the most.
