I find picky eaters irritating and childish, so I’m glad I now know that there’s a separate thing that I should take seriously. Is there a way to tell the difference? Cos I’ve been in situations where I’ve been having people round for dinner and so and so’s new partner can’t eat this, that and the other but it turns out that it’s not because of allergies or anything. It’d be handy to know if this is medical or just them being an irritating bastard.

It's a big thing with autism and certain textures and therefore certain foods causing revulsion and on the extreme ends panic attacks and meltdowns. For me it's any food with tiny bones in it. Autism lately has been linked to CPTSD as well. https://healthmatch.io/ptsd/cptsd-and-autism#what-is-autism-spectrum-disorder

Listen buddy, we all got problems!
Most meats where it's not the main flavour can be replaced pretty well. So a lot of dishes that require minced beef for example. Sausages is another.

However every single bacon replacement I have tried is dog poo poo. And I think I might have tried them all at this point.
But bacon lardons, there are some good ones. Seems getting the texture right in cubes is easy, in thin cuts is hard.

On the plus side those pieces of poo poo who killed Brianna Ghey have been found guilty by jury unanimously https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/20/brianna-ghey-found-guilty-murder

Says they'll get life sentences but the judge will determine their minimum before possibility of parole.

Oh thank god. I was worried those little shits would get off because of their "no it was him/her!" antics.

I normally believe in reform over punishment for the prison system but what's come out during this trial makes them sound truly irredeemably evil.

My partner’s a vegan and though I know it’s the morally correct choice, I hate the guilt I feel every time I make myself a fantastically elaborate meat dish. They don’t have a go to be fair, and I do cook really nice vegan stuff sometimes too. It’s just not as fun.

I assume you've given seitan a go (don't use it if you have problems with gluten), i found it easy to make and cook if a bit time consuming.

For some reason if I eat melon it makes me vom afterwards. No idea why, I have no emotional aversion to it and it tastes quite nice, just makes me vomit so I can't have it.

Mangoes give me nosebleeds quite consistently if it is a very high dosage, like an unreasonable amount of mangoes to eat, but I did manage to eat that amount quite a few times as a kid and it resulted in a mango embargo in my household. People were allowed to bring one mango. But not a bag full.

Microprose games all had big manuals. I had Knights of the Sky, Gunship 2000, F-15 Strike Eagle II and Civilization for Amiga and those manuals felt like encyclopedias.

I don't know if physical copies of new Civilizations are sold anymore but if they are the manuals are prolly that 4 pages instructions of how to install and start.

Yeah, people with raised input sensitivity and lowered stress thresholds take a beating from a world full of people expecting them to deal with constant, unending stress.

I sometimes think autistic people are the canaries in the coal mine. The things that cause us to melt down are the things that will eventually start to get to you lot too.

There's another article going round about how at least one of them is claiming to be autistic (and apparently became non verbal during the trial), so looking forward to having a bunch of dickheads start coming up with Opinions™ over the next few weeks.

E: Christ that article is grim. The school denying she was bullied to save face. The police denying that it was because she was trans, while as the article points out: 'The boy referred to Brianna as “prey” and “it” in his messages, saying she would be easier to kill “and I want to see if it will scream like a man or a girl”.' (content warning: extreme transphobia)

I dunno why the police would want to alter the perception that way. They had other targets on their kill list that were not trans.

Bobby Deluxe

Yes they had a list of other kids, but it's clear from the messages between them that her being trans was a factor in her being included in that list.

Yes. It’s nothing to do with cars. It’s to do with face matching anyone they get on a camera to the driving license photo db.

I think that may have made it easier for the prosecution if anything; it sounds like once they both realised they were actually in some serious poo poo they were squealing like pigs trying to pin all the blame on the other one.

Pretty disgusting watching the usual suspects on the internet twisting themselves into major mental gymnastics to try and claim Brianna being trans wasn’t a factor in her murder, despite the killers wanting to in their words ”see if it screamed like a boy or a girl.”

Stuck in spoiler tags because it’s vile.

Also that they also wanted to murder a bunch of other kids, as if that somehow makes anything anywhere any better.

Because yes, that's what wannabe mass murderers fantasize about. They still went after their first target for the obvious reasons that they declared.
