drop your childhood stories:
>be me, age 12
>hate showering more than anything
>it feels gross and i hate getting wet
>my mom starts telling me that if i don't shower every day then i can't eat dinner
>i want my dindin so i come up with a genius plan
>let the shower run for 10-15 minutes while i sit in the bathroom
>quickly wet my hair with sink
>mom buys it, i get dindin
>after a month she gets suspicious
>realize i have to step up my game
>now i run the shower and rub my arms/neck with hand soap
>also run my hair under the shower so it's dripping wet and not just moist
>she asks why i haven't asked her to buy shampoo yet
>come up with final version of my genius plan
>i'll stand next to the shower, let the water run, rub soap on my whole body and also use shampoo on my hair so it smells like shampoo
>then i'll rinse off in the sink
>all while the shower runs
i did this for four years until i realized i was just showering on hard mode
I'm gonna assume you said autistic but it was taken to be derogatory and while the phrasing you used implies that, it is literally a reaction to symptoms of autism. That hypersensitivity to physical feelings fucking suuuuucks
More than a little confused by your comment.
Retarded is crossed out in the 4chan post. Did you read it?
lemmy.ml instance has a slur filter enabled. You cannot post slurs in any context and users from there will see it filtered everywhere. It's pretty broad too. Can't say shorthand for a female dog
That's gotta be a bitch sometimes.
Its completely removed so they have to guess from context.
Word filters are fun but if everyone has a different filter that seems like it would get ridiculous real fast
There may be others that follow it. It's built into lemmy and was compulsory at one point iirc.
Maybe idk. It reminds me of the whole recent defederation drama partly caused by a false assumption that pronoun tags would be visible to everyone. If you don't know what other people are seeing, that's a big source of misunderstandings.
I was already under assumption pronoun tags were visible to everyone. Actually always assumed they were part of a users display name.
I don't see any, what client?
Come to find I don't see any either I don't think.
Well apparently that assumption is wrong for certain clients or instances
The ones like hexbear users have?
Not your OP, but I'm on kbin and I don't see any pronouns.
Do you see a display name when a lemmy user has one set? I don't so you can't use me as an example.
Have you ever seen a user with an emoji in their name?
Nothing? Is this a new feature? My instance is still on 0.18.5.
