I came here to quote this. Its like they know we have a detestable, rotten president and are insecure about it or something.

I won't be able to ever shake off Harry Potter. I don't think of points and views, I just love the idea of another world to go learn magic away from tech and such. I don't read or listen to it for the political points, or whatever other trash she's hidden in there. I read it as a form of escapism.

That said, I absolutely hate Rowling. Its to the point that I'm embarrassed that I still like HP. I hate the stupid shit that pukes out her mouth and I hate that she's taken a whole fanbase down with her. I feel like, for just liking Harry Potter, I'm labeled a patriarchal fascist and that's not my stance at all. I was an innocent kid who fell in love and still uses the books as a safe place to this very day, because I took refuge in them when my mother was at her most abusive (physically and mentally).

When I was very young, I would daydream about being taken away from her to another world to just dive into magic. She would lie to my therapists and tell them I had mental issues and a vivid imagination. That it was all in my head that she abused me. No one believed me when I cried for help. I was tested for autism. I was diagnosed with severe ADHD. There was one time in elementary school where they tried to take my video game magazine from me in class and I was hysterical, screaming that the demons in my head were going to get me. They blamed the magazine material (Mortal Kombat with Baraka on the front cover, I actually still have it). I was treated as though I was crazy.

It was pure, mind-altering hell. She won every court case over my father on the mere fact that she was my mother. She tried to have me put on numerous drugs as a kid, but my father refused and they needed both parent's consent. So that's why I'm irrationally addicted to the books. I'm not so vulnerable as to have my moral views swayed by a fictional story. However, Rowling will never get another cent from me if I can help it. My audiobooks are already pirated as is. I just wish I could be more honest about loving the books without having to tell this story and not be regarded as a piece of shit for liking them.

It definitely got less hyperactive and more fogbrain, as I like to call it.

I used to use the Ubuntu Font until I found the glory of Recursive.

Knock knock. Do you have a moment to talk about Recursive font? What about the weighted Recursive Duotone Nerd Font that makes bold and commented sections casual font?

Bro dualcasting "sound button that doesn't work because its a picture" at the same time.

Yeah, but what's more feasible? Uniting a complacent society and not knowing when or where your next meal will be, or taking a hot check home and living comfortably? Especially when kids come into the mix. Why do you think they want to push the "have kids" and anti-abortion agenda? Because you're only going to think about the best for your family and the best is stability and peace when it comes to children.

I don't disagree with you, but I don't condemn the little people trying to survive, either.

Me sitting on the couch listening to my clock and making it go from "tick tock tick tock" to "tock tick tock tick" back and forth in my head for 27 minutes straight.

They do, but not all the time. Most people can stay on one subject. With some ND individuals, particularly those with ADHD, one subject is every subject depending on what you are thinking at the time.

Carnivals could have easily become candy making videos, because spinning cotton candy is like the process of candy making on a tiny level, but hey, have you seen them break a candy bubble in this vid?

Candy like that is actually really hot and I bet those burns suck if you get one. I grabbed a stick in the fire once and didn't see the hot coal on the end, so I could only imagine what molten candy would do to you.

Its basically molding edible magma. Speaking of magma, did you know that Old Faithful is an underground volcano and if it erupted it would probably destroy half of North America? At least, that's what I heard.

From here we could go onto apocalypse talk, National Parks, or even the Yellowstone TV series. The world is your oyster and your brain will not stop.

Lemmy is actually better on this. I get a lot of upvotes for well thought-out long posts and comments here as well as humorous one-liners. I've been pleasantly surprised that people actually take the time to read out my longer posts. On reddit it'd probably just get lost and be another 1 thumber that never got read.

The key is also to make your story interesting. Something that pulls your reader in. Be personal and amicable. Realize you're talking to real people and speak to those people in your writing. I'm more of a creative writing buff. I managed to eek out 98th percentile for creative writing in my SATs. I love writing. Its my favorite thing to do. I want to be an author. I fucking hate my ADHD. I've started a hundred books at least and either bore myself or tell myself its a stupid plot, even though I have friends and family begging for me to finish something.

My early books were written in small notebooks. The old ones that sorta looked like they had cowprint covers with a title on them. They'd get passed around the school for weeks. I'd get them back and people would keep asking me to continue. I never did. Fuck me, I hate ADHD sometimes. But your words are alive. They can heal, hurt, cause laughter and tears, and, above all, words can influence anything. Words are power and, as long as you are careful of that power, you can write any damn length you want.

Honestly, my fear now is AI. I like AI, but I don't want to write a book and have people claim its AI or AI assisted. I'm regretting not writing one earlier now.

tl;dr: Is k. Writ stuf.

Yup. I do this 100%. But mostly it's because sometimes I get so hot on the subject, it feels good to get it out there and then I worry I was too brash about it. A trick I use is to leave the comment written on my phone in the background. Maybe I'll send it, but more often than not I clear it out when I clean up my background apps and go, "Well, that was decided for me."

My posts and comments here on Lemmy speak for themselves...

D-tecnoLife, but I just enjoy old school Bleach for the nostalgia. I do really like op1, though, and its a close match for me.

Speaking of, I was exploring some of my favorite animators, AC-bu, a few years ago, and found this which took me a second: Orange Range - Sushi Tabetai

I found my first AC-bu animation with Powder - New Tribe, then POLICEMAN110 - GAL (a must watch/listen, lmao). They did a lot of stuff for group_inou, too, who I became a fan of. I saw this vid after that and the voice was just so familiar. Then it hit me who it was, lol.
