Watch silent films and marvel at the theatery exaggerated acting. You can talk over silent films much easier and they demand less attention from the viewer. Some have their own scores attached to them so you aren’t just hearing silence or someone’s classical music playlist. Many are public domain and trivial to find online. Success scales with your interest in film criticism and how much you can tolerate thinking about a pretty messed-up period of history while blazed.

Also try SomaFM for picking a music vibe. It’s donation-supported and ad-free, and a nice way to come across new artists.

Could you narrow it down with details like the genre, instruments, other lyrics, or the release year or the year you first recall hearing it?

Some quick extra bullet points as I’m short on time and much of what I want to say has already been said in this thread:

  • I strongly recommend Behind the Bastards’ 2-parter on fake autism cures (huge trigger warning for child abuse though), and just as strongly Rowan Ellis’ video essay on autism representation. youtube.com/watch?v=WA9B4_e6sS0
  • If you’re making an intentional, good-faith effort to be kind and curious, then as an autistic person I deeply appreciate your showing up, and please don’t let the downvotes make you any less curious.

How to clean those super cheap foam earplugs? - sh.itjust.works

I’m down to my last clean pair and I’d love to not have to buy a ton more of these down the line. They’re essential for any time I end up at a music-centric event, or really most events that include music. I’ll be scrolling through the earplug recommendations in this community too

It depends on the region and culture you were born into, but I’m gonna have to lean toward no since I can’t personally find any evidence that any other person has ever had this name. It’d make it hard to find shirts and stuff that already have your name printed on them
Usually for the same reasons you’d get entangled in a movie or book? Games are allowed to be emotionally complex just the same as any other form of media, and the interactive aspect gives them some extra leverage for it that others lack.

I’ve cried really hard to the track “Confronting Myself” from Celeste, which counts as “because of a video game” even though I wasn’t playing it at the time.

Tap for spoiler

I was off my SSRI meds at the time, and it seriously broke me up listening to how the characters’ instruments and motifs and the buildup and release of tension in the track mirror the kind of dialogue they’re in when it plays. It’s also a climactic scene with a lot of mental health allegory going on at the same time, which really adds to the emotions here.

I’m crying again now thanks

  • You can derive numerical values from words using a letter-number pairing like “A=1, B=2 (…)”. This kind of number-letter pairing is called “Gematria”.
  • Adding the numerical values of the seven Hebrew words in the first verse of Genesis gives you a number
  • Multiplying these seven values together instead and then adding up each group of three digits in the result gives you the same number as before

Which episode has this quote?

Which episode has this quote? - sh.itjust.works

It goes something like “The most level-headed people in the world are the people who regularly have interactions with people they know nothing about”. I’ve been using the site filmot.com [http://filmot.com] to search the transcripts for permutations of words I think might be in the actual quote, with no results so far. I think it might be in Zizians Part 1 or one of the other cult-related episodes. It’s an important quote to me and I want to have easy access to it.
