Obviously I roll over. My belly is all yours to do whatever you want with (please pet and scritch it and then tell me I’m a good boy again)

You have no idea now much my tail is wagging right now.

Well, I can confirm. I’m not sure if you even need to put my head in your lap (but it certainly can’t hurt). I’m basically yours for life.

Good advice, I agree with it nearly 100%.

Out of curiosity, how much of it do you personally think is specific to neurodivergent people? Because outside of (obviously) number one, I think that’s just good advice in general.

Someone please tell me I did good. You have my full permission to lie to me.

Mate, if you’ve met an ice cream truck driver who’d just let you walk away with all their goods and a promise that you’d pay them back, I need to know where you live. I want in on that.

hey, gimme a cart, i’ll go roam around and sell these before they spoil, you keep 80 or 90% of the money when i come back with the empty cart.

Tell you what: I’ll give you a time traveling device and the ability to jump into any fictional world that has ever existed.

Find me one where they would accept that “deal” if you didn’t pay up front.

If you do this, you’re going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Fun fact: you can just pirate stuff.

You don’t have to make semantic arguments to justify to yourself why it’s actually moral or not technically stealing or whatever. You can just pirate stuff.

Look, if we shake hands? Your name is immediately thrown into the void. You will forever be “Oh hey!” to me.

So basically:

Takano: I drew a hot big witchy gothy dommy mommy.

Fans (drooling): Step on me.

Takano: Writers, make it work.

You’re giving the devs a lot of credit, here. It’s less “this particular chimera would be most adept to combat” and more:

“I drew a super-buff zombie alien man with a weird head. He can shoot lazers. Writers, make a backstory for him.”

That’s pretty funny to me. I read the start of a King novel when I was probably too young for it (pretty sure it was It?), and just got bored with it. Never tried reading another for years. A decade or two later I tried the Dark Tower series and ended up binge-reading the first 5 books.

I really love those books, although I absolutely see their flaws and understand why people wouldn’t like them.

Either way, I definitely don’t think you need to be a Stephen King fan to enjoy them. I mean, I’m certainly not and I certainly did. Still haven’t read any of his other works…

I take issue with the word “immigrant” as it implies compliance, but okay.

No, that was not my intent, but I see your point. I think this is really all I meant to say:

Most former colonies of Britain can feel the influence of its culture a lot more than Britain feels the influence of any of its colonies’ cultures.

So when Britain says “we totally invented how to put butter and spices in a tomatoe base and add some chicken”. And tries to claim one of the last few things they haven’t from this subcontinent? I get kinda angry.

But, more to my point: let’s say I walk into an English pub, and ask what they’ve got on the menu. How many times do you think they’ll tell me about the unseasoned fried fish, or the unseasoned fried potatoes, before they mention “oh and we’ve got chicken tikka masala”

Not exactly a national dish, in my opinion.

“British chefs with South Asian heritage” lmao. That’s one way of putting it.

Yes. I agree. It is VERY British.

Would you like to go more into the origin of the phrase “British-Indian”?

I’m not disagreeing there. But were those British chefs who came up with it? And not chefs they brought back from places which Brits had conquered? Obviously no.

And, needless to say, tikka masala is about as far from modern English cuisine as you can get.

Lmao I guess when you’ve subjugated half the world, you can claim any dish as your own.

Lol, yeah. That was my bad.

LMAO okay, yes reading and writing are two separate skills. You got me there.

You never intended to speak to me in honest. I see that now. I’m cutting out.
