I'm only alive because successfully killing myself is hard. Bernadette, she/her, smash bros addict, dog person, work addict, ruined beyond repair, stuck in the past. I will defend Amazon and Nintendo like they're the parents I never had. They did, and will do, nothing wrong, ever.

    Neurotypical people of Lemmy, what's your hyperfixation?

    Jump

  • Anyone can have hobbies and enjoy things, even silly, obscure, or weird things. It's not a "hyperfixation" if someone with some stupid disorder label on them enjoys it.

    Regardless of how stupid or silly the thing is, there are more neurotypical people very invested in it more than everyone else.

    Liking things is human, not some symptom of some stupid fucking disorder. Eradicate "hyperfixation" and "special interest". Humanity is a fucking spectrum, no you can't be more dIfFeReNt than everyone else, you're not fucking special, stop fucking contributing to the abuse, division, and othering of humans.

    For fucks sake have you seen a Sanrio fan, Disney fan, superhero comic fan, or a sports fan? People with hundreds of Funko Pops of entire sports teams and movie characters? Yeah, neurotypicals who like stuff. But god forbid that person has a stupid disorder label on them, then at best society views them as a puppet controlled by their disorder, or at worst they're abused into killing themselves, for being a human being who enjoyed things.

    Something tells me you had a real childhood where you went through real school and grew up as a normal child who made fun of short bus kids, then did some stupid online test popularized on TikTok, and now you reduce yourself to a disorder for clout. Then you spread harmful stereotypes that set disability rights back several decades, up to when they were left to die.

    Do you fucking realize that you're literally doing the equivalent of being a Jewish person born 18 years ago, broadcasting that Hitler was right, that you control the media and banks and you're the reason why everyone else is poor?

    You, all those TikTok disorder fakers, and adults who didn't live their childhoods on the wrong side of life, are why several lives get ruined beyond repair. The "therapists" will see your stupid posts about how making furry characters and enjoying Sonic games are exclusively symptoms of autism, and abuse an otherwise independent child into a zombie. Literally the equivalent of using chemotherapy on a mosquito bite.

    Hobbies and interests are not disorders. Stop implying that crap, you're ruining lives.

    Sincerely, someone who lost 20 years I'll never get back, for endlessly creating characters and wanting to make games as a 6 year old.

  • Yeah, family only saw me as that stupid fucking puzzle piece and not an actual human being so they'd look through everything and assume that stupid puzzle piece was the reason why and share it with ABA therapists, or literal professional child abusers, to make me no longer do the thing. Actual humans can watch youtube poop and meme videos because they're funny, but I only did because that stupid puzzle piece made me. Actual humans can read and write fanfiction, make games, romhack, and have hobbies, but when I did them, the same stupid ass puzzle piece that made me too stupid and unfit for actual human society made me so talented and so smart, and what used to be a hobby becomes some big stupid "talent" that I'm forced to overwork myself on to prove that puzzle pieces are just as bright as people! So inspirational! Ugh. But when I quit all my hobbies, the same puzzle piece that made me do them made me quit.

    Is your car a dude or a chick?

    Jump

  • My segway ninebot scooter was a man (may he rest in peace), my niu kqi3 max is a woman. I miss my ninebot, he was so portable and lightweight for carrying up train station stairs. Also nobody wanted him since he was outdated and an unpopular model (e22) and was safe from being stolen. While my niu is much more powerful, faster, and lasts longer, she's like 2x heavier and attracts would-be thieves if I didn't app lock AND use a chain lock. I was able to secure the ninebot with a cheap amazon basics lock, nobody wanted him but me!

  • What name that's common today do you think will be considered an "old person name" in the future?

  • Assuming the GoT babies didn't change their names. Imagine having a name that others yourself from everyone else and it comes from a fake culture in a fake world.

  • What is something considered impossible when you were a kid but is now known to be completely possible or even inevitable?

    Jump

  • I didn't change my gender, only the name. Many people are so transphobic that a cis person changing their name is just as "bad" as transitioning, and the rest think a cis person's life is perfect so they only change their name for attention and to be oppressed. I changed my name because it was ugly and othering and it only reminds me of childhood. I legitimately felt like I was stuck in someone else's body and could never get out and be myself.

  • "If everyone's an asshole, you're the asshole," but what are they when they apologize?

    Jump

  • Almost every friend group I was in had at least one friend bully me in private. One would only be hurtful online and on the phone and would "end the friendship" over nothing. But if he's sorry then I'm forced to forgive him. No one believes he said he was never speaking to me again because they never saw it, it was on the phone.

    Another was a stalker who deliberately copied everything I did and tried to rape me whenever she was alone with me in the bathroom, but I was the problem because I was the only person who had an issue with her. She was so pleasant and happy with everyone else but with me she was always angry and would do things she assumed I did, like watch anime and brag about how much anime she watched when I never watched anime and was a nintendo fan, something you'd know if you actually spoke to me. She also wore the same shirt and jeans every day without washing them as they were the closest thing she had to my clothes, and I didn't wear anything Cool, just a plain blue shirt and navy blue jeans.

    Then another tried raping me every day for months, would give up and dry hump or grope instead. I only made my clothes hard to undo since no one saw it so I must be lying. I eventually reported it, he got suspended, and everyone in the group ignored me ever since.

    And on top of that I was alienated and bullied by family for existing.

    If everywhere smells like shit check under your shoe. If you don't have friends then the common denominator is you. If everyone's an asshole then you're the asshole, etc. Obviously if I go through this a lot I'm the problem.

  • I'm still the asshole for cutting ties, but then I'm the asshole because I'm being bullied by my entire family. And if I'm bullied by everyone then I deserve it.

    Jump

  • Yeah or that it was extremely complicated, and that no one in my life would respect my new name. Which, the latter, I was right about. I cut all ties I had (except family since I'm stuck with them currently) before changing my name, and eventually I will cut ties with family and receive mail in my name.

  • Ah yes, the classic "driving is fun, it's just The People that make it stressful". How many people did you swear at on the road this month? And how many pedestrians did you beep at or inch towards while they were crossing the street?

  • Eradicate poverty and cars. Hey guess what drivers, you hate driving, that's why you rush until it's over. So I'll make public transit so fast and reliable that driving will finally be treated as primitive as it actually is.

    Free apartments for all. Luxury apartments cost money. Unwanted, dangerous, and unpleasant jobs are automated with AI.

    All debt is forgiven and you have a clean slate. Everyone now has a credit score of 700. Kickstart your best life.

    Happy population means more locally owned businesses, less crime, less mental illness, less of a declining birth rate.

  • Not to steal the other comment but yeah a swiss army knife of a device that pays for things, browses the internet without running up the phone bill (and I can browse AND talk on the phone at the same time), has games and music, is a flashlight, etc.

    But most importantly a name change. I thought it was impossible or extremely hard but it wasn't. Just write, pay $65, pay $12, send the documents to wherever, and that's it.

  • How would you get back into hobbies you've abandoned for years?

    Jump

  • Constantly failing and being bad at a hobby is still inspirational black excellence and black girl magic. The only way to escape inspiration porn is suicide. Alternatively, failing is a result of being oppressed by the white man. I'm either a permanent victim or an inspirational story. I'd rather be a normal human who enjoys stuff like all the other normal people doing hobbies for fun.

  • Patronizing and infantilizing attention. The normal kind is fine but the only way I could be treated normally is if I pretend to be a white man. Otherwise I'm treated like a sick puppy learning how to walk. I hate it.

    What online subscriptions do you have?

    Jump

  • YouTube premium, Amazon prime, Microsoft 365, Nintendo switch online, virtual ups mailbox (to receive mail with my name on it without involving family), Twitch turbo, Neocities.org. I don't watch TV or movies, only user generated content. Spotify is unusable without premium and after being subject to five ads in a row, one being an obnoxious gen z vape addicted minor tiktok "satisfying" asmr one, I will never use them. I don't understand the appeal of a subscription or an obnoxiously ad-ridden service for a thing you download for free or buy once. I only wanted to listen to one fucking podcast. One.
