Ant smell
  • I recently had to close my store for an hour, because I was the only one working and couldn't breath due to one customers bad hygiene. People treat me like I'm overly sensitive or making up my discomfort, but to me it feels like being suffocated.

    Also I can totally smell roaches, they smell worse than any other thing in existence. Never smelled an ant though. Did not know that was possible.

  • What are some free interests/things/hobbies you can do in the city?
  • Find a game store! Every city should have one or two places where people gather to play board games and card games. I've met some really great people just jumping into random magic the gathering matches. Only of my best friends was just some dude I met at the card shop, he was looking for a group to play dnd with and we've been meeting up once a week ever since.

    Apps like meet up (if it's still a thing?) may be really useful as well.

  • It's called "social jet lag". Yes I know about sleep hygiene.
  • It's super helpful to people like me who have been suffering their entire lives. It's great to feel heard and validated, but the real value is being able to learn about myself. I've never been a morning person and have trouble sleeping at night. It's really nice to hear something other than "you're just not trying" or "try counting sheep". It's a lot better than just thinking I'm flawed. I wish someone would have told my parents this when they used to scream at me for sleeping in too late or not being asleep when they wanted me to be.

    It was the same way with my adhd. My parents and teachers kept telling me I was just lazy, or didn't care when I felt like I was working my butt off. Being 'worse' then everyone else ate me alive and I'm still suffering for it. It was the same with my brothers autism. It was the same with my chronic depression. I wish I was born in this age of self reflection and mental health awareness, and for the sake of all the kids like me I really hope we keep pushing forward.

    I'm sure your comment was sarcastic, but I'm hijacking it to dump 20 years of built up trama,, and to let the world know how thankful I am that we're starting to accept these labels as more than just flaws. They're really, really helpful.

    Edit to say, I just read the other comments and realize you weren't being sarcastic. I hope my post helped point out some of the reasons things like this are becoming so important to people.

  • What are your weird food rules?
  • Bought a fancy pizza the other day. They put zero thought into the distribution, instead opting for giant discs of goat cheese and spoonfuls of sauce spread about. Some bites were great, most were missing crucial ingredients for a pizza. Like sauce and cheese.

  • What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
  • I would prefer a civilization builder with that kind of personality. Live civ 5 mixed with baulders gate 3, with loads of asthetic choices for my towns, other civilizations to go to war with. Etc. Maybe you could play from the perspective of God, play the majority of the time in a top down cilization style, but then also have the option to go down to your planet as an avatar or profit or whatever and lead in a more hands on fashion to solve different issues. Say your chosen people are losing a war, you could become a great warrior and come down to help for a couple years. Idk, I just really love the idea of a civilization builder that feels more personal and involved.

  • What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
  • I'm totally not the guy to give this advice, but I am frequently told you can get almost any old game running on windows with the right emulators and know how. I don't have the know how, but I'm sure you could figure it out if you spent a couple days learning about it.

  • I have a junk tablet, wifi, and around 5 bucks to spend. I need some ad free clean streaming or playlists I can stream for 12 or so hours a day.

    Is it possible? I don't think any of the big companies have a one time buy in, and If they do I doubt it's anywhere near 5 bucks.

    I have to have the ability to restrict it to only clean music and ads.

    Just got my first entry level gaming pc! i have about 30 bucks to spend, what should i get for it?

    I have all my hardware set up, including a new chair. MineCraft and baulders gate 3, terraria, and some freebies are my only games so far. I have a massive console and physical game collection that I love, so I'm really just looking for things that are definitively better on pc, only on pc, or software that I may not know about yet. Free software and game recommendations are always my favorite.

    Really just posting here because I thought you would be the best people to find random recommendations from. Usually I would check reddit posts and all that, but I'm here now.

    Thanks in advance!
