QOTD: What is the worst thing an assassin could say to you right before they killed you?

Comments

Michael French

The one thing I don’t like about your Patreon schedule is that it always starts when my work starts so I could never catch it in the moment, but I just got home about 15 minutes ago and I’m greeted to a new episode of Elden ring after a long day of work. Thank you Bros much love forever

Michael French

On a completely unrelated note, I haven’t thought about that “It looks like if you ask one of them for ice cream they both say yes.” Probably since before Covid

Oh, Lord. Alex said the n-word (neurodivergent). That crap makes me want to shrivel up and die. I'd rather people call me autistic or, better yet, retarded than patronizing me with that term. (For context, I am on the spectrum. I think the term "neurodivergent" is a PC catch-all instead of referring to actual diagnoses. You could even say I think the word is retarded lol)

The idea of eating a whole pack of M&M's, wrapper and all, then spitting out the empty wrapping paper when you're done is unhinged!

On the topic of Flame, Cleanse Me: Does Mario not have the ability to absorb a magic star that makes every outside influence ineffective?

John Calvin Boyer

I don't really think there's anything wrong with the term, I think lots of people who fall into the category go undiagnosed. Could you go into any more detail about why it bothers you?

Joshua Levine

It's the broad term to cover the entire spectrum of autism as well as ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. I think I understand your frustration with yet ANOTHER term to describe something you already know about, but I think this time it works because it covers a broad group.

So my wife and I have always sort of treated our kids like small adults. Mostly out of necessity. I am disabled with a chronic condition that may result in my brain telling my heart and lungs to stop functioning at random so we have had to have rough conversations with them at a young age. They are now teens. Now that they are teens they have realized that not all parents treat their kids like small adults. Do not get me wrong we do not let our kids do whatever they want etc and we have had to discipline our kids though we really don't do physical discipline. Anyways with what Ted was saying about his aunt, I have family members who treat their kids like that and have always looked down on my wife and I for not raising our kids that way. Now as kids are teens and what not a difference in maturity level is quite obvious. Also though it sometimes makes it harder for our kids to fit in at school when they are use to speaking like an adult, reading and watching things like an adult, discussing issues calming and for educational purposes. An example is how my 15 year old sort of owned her debate club when debating for or against homosexual marriage. She was for and other people were not. The main argument was religious reasons, so my daughter pointed out in her first line that we do not live in a theocracy thus any part of the debate which depends on religion or religious views should be considered invalid to a debate on legality. She also reminded the debate club that legality and spiritual morality are not the same thing. Going back to the quiet kid comment. Yes my kids are neuro-divergent, my 15 year old is gifted and may be on the spectrum and has anxiety. My 13 year old has ADHD and is on the spectrum. They tend to kids who speak like adults but also tend to just not speak at all and be quiet. My 13 year old of course isn't all that quiet when she isn't on her medication, but even then she isn't 100% neurotypical in how she speaks and what she speaks about. One reason my 15 year doesn't speak though is the whole maturity level thing. She learned early on that sometimes kids are annoying and even admits to be annoying her self. In first grade she told a class mate who was complaining about getting in trouble that "it was a you problem, not a me problem". So we try as parents to keep her humble though and not let her think she is better than anyone etc. It is hard though when she is legit more intelligent, more wanting to learn, and makes better life choices than most in her class. I am not really speaking as her parent in saying that, more so as someone who worked with teens for over a decade. Though she is not perfect by no means and sometimes it is good to remind her of that lol. She sort of reminds me of how Brett said he would be if he were to go back in time and be his teenage self. Sorry for rambling a little. Also Ted, Anah still remembers when you video chatted with her and does ask about you. Both of the girls were quite bothered about your well being during the whole TOVG/Jirard stuff that happened.

I'm sorry but I'm not gonna call a stranger autistic and diagnose them 😭

Steve

Can we talk about the asset of a Mario card showing the ability? I'd play a Super Mario x Elden Ring crossover! That sounds sick!!!

your mom needs something from the store

@John Calvin Boyer The reason it bugs me is more that it feels like I'm being treated like I'm "special" or that I'm part of the "gifted and talented" program. I'd rather people take their time to actually learn about the different terms and what they mean and not use a catch-all term for multiple extremely different sets of disorders/disabilities.

@Joshua Levine The problem is that, when you generalize something like mental disorders, it comes off as an excuse to not educate yourself about what they mean and, more importantly, how that person is affected. The problem too is that a lot of people who label themselves as "neurodivergent" are the same people who advocate for not using meds to regulate whatever people's diagnoses are because they say "well, look at Van Gogh, he turned out to be an artistic genius and he never got treatment." yeah, the same guy who cut his own ear off and was generally in agony due to Bipolar. The term just frustrates me in general because, I'm on the autism spectrum, so I have difficulty with executive functioning specifically. My younger brother has Dyslexia, so he struggles to read for longer periods of time, yet somehow we're both the same catch-all of "neurodivergent" The phrase to me also just reeks of political correctness in the same way that latinx (ugh) is used to be PC, but is actually offensive to Central American and South American Spanish speakers.

@Reese Valentine I'd assume the context is that the person knows me and knows my diagnosis. I'm not saying people in the streets (which neither of us are ever in in the first place) are labeling me neurodivergent, I'm saying that people who know me end up being patronizing for labeling me with such a PC and excessively wide umbrella term

Korbo

It feels like you're taking the wrong chance to rant about something that bothers you in an entirely different context. "Neurodivergent" just means that your brain functions differently than the typical (statistically average) person, often with some difficulties in interacting with the world around you (may not be a great definition but you get what I mean), they were talking about a hypothetical kid who's silent in class, why would they specifically say autistic or retarded or whatever other specific medical condition you want them to say, when this is a hypothetical person that doesn't exist? I get you don't want people to use that term for you, when they know what is your specific situation, but that's just not what was happening here. It's not about education or generalization, it's about describing something aptly. Just because it's a more general term it doesn't make it incorrect. Also I've never heard anyone use the term "neurodivergent" as an excuse not to get any treatment or help, though I have seen people use it as a flagship to base their entire personality on ("hey yeah, my favorite neurodivergent youtuber like me!" kind of thing) which I don't think is very healthy but to each their own.

As a highschool wrestling coach I completely agree that sometimes you just gotta talk to kids and young adults as if they are cognitive grown adults. It really helps the relationship between the youth and older folks and best of all they get a sense that you aren't BS'ing them.

Danny Elfman played Jack Skellington's singing voice, but not his speaking voice. Jenna Elfman is not blood related to him, she is married to his nephew.

Teh Chikon

All those ladies simping for Jack Skellington while I'm lookin at Sally like "ditch that mopey twig, he doesn't deserve you". I had a huge crush on her when I was younger, where the ladies that like Sally at?
