Sorry I meant to write 450k mph

I smirk as I place my immovable rod against the closed door and set it, and then don’t even have time to scream as the relative movement of the planet through space tears the rod away at 450mph, the friction of an indestructible magic object igniting the atmosphere and vaporizing everyone

They kind of are, the recipe has you using straws to hold up the M&Ms bag and then you glue the M&Ms up the straw so it looks like the bag is eternally pouring them out

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.
Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!
Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.
No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags.
But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.
It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.
Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person.
Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

Started up laptop, found that Windows had decided on its own to start syncing my desktops, erased everything on my laptop desktop and replaced it with my workstation desktop

So that's cool

Professor X: Hold, old friend. If you wish to take this military base hostage, you first must kill these five fifteen year olds I found.
Magneto: for fuck’s sake, Charles.

You think pirates talk that way because of one guy, Robert Newton, who played Long John Silver in 1950's Treasure Island, and cemented the "pirate voice" forever
