Buying anything from California will also teach you this.

(They put cancer warning stickers on everything, for anyone not familiar)

I’m going to pretend you’re asking in good faith and would genuinely like to learn.

“Stimming” is “sensory stimulation,” or self-regulating behavior. When used in this context it’s not sexual. It helps (typically neurodivergent, but I’d argue most) people better process the environment around them by having a sensory input they can focus on.

Examples of stimming are hand-flapping (waving one’s hands around), clicking a pen, listening to music, tapping one’s toes, chewing gum, just to name a few. I’m willing to bet you have stims that you may not even realize, and that’s perfectly okay.

TL;DR: Stimming = fidgeting that helps you focus/calm down, it’s not perverted.

Fondly referred to as “peer review.”

I’ve had strangers clock me in five seconds and neurotypical family members question my diagnosis. This tracks

Reminds me of the dorkwad who leaked military(?) secrets to his friends on discord a couple years ago. I think he was about their age at the time too, which tracks.

How dare we want our country to be better and for our fellow citizens to not die in cartoonishly preventable ways? /s

Doing difficult, noble work OP. Thank you for keeping local community resources running.

You’d be surprised how much free time and headspace people are willing to dedicate to the benefit of corporations in the name of defending their special interests.

Only thing missing is a CRT to make that warm staticky smell. Looks fantastic though

Unfortunately the live-rotting musk-scented fleshlight probably enjoys this sort of attention.

Still funny though.
