@Eldweena: I had to start completely over and re-watch the whole thing because I would sometimes have it playing in the background for the dog while I did other things.
So... my dog first started watching TV when I was watching The Thing. He saw the part where _____SPOILER ALERT_____ the doggos in the movie get taken over by the thing. _____END SPOILER____ and he threw a fit, and was glued to the screen for the rest of the movie. After that, I tried showing him other types of TV because I worried I was corrupting his sweet doggy brain lol. He absolutely loves anything with horses in it, and can recognize even the worst cartoon versions of them. His favorite show is Steven Universe, which he will watch curled up on the couch. He really doesn't like some of the horror movies I put on... usually he'll just cry for the cast if its low-key horror, but if its zombies or if anyone gets seriously hurt he will leave the room entirely. Action movies are great because he'll whine and bark at the cast whenever there is a fight scene. He gets into it. He's way too smart for his own good.

I mean I'm technically a child of the 80's but I still grew up on all of this nonsense. I never let it go either.

@Kozi: No reason is why I got my cake. And also why the movie Rubber exists.

Oh boy. You have ADHD and he's singling you out? Thats horribly ablest. You didn't even pose the original question but he shifted focus to you. Coping mechanisms like organized notebooks can only help so much, especially if you have a different learning style. I can't take notes without one million doodles, I'd be a nightmare to him :p
I always have to explain to people how to teach me something and they always ignore it and just tell me what I need to do. I simply can not learn that way, so I absolutely understand your frustration. I need someone to like... stand behind me, show me what to do, and let me do it. I don't even know how that would translate to a class. Most of the things I know, I've had to teach myself. Its so weird that we've known about different learning styles for as long as we have, yet we only cater to the one way most of the time.

@Lucifera: That is pretty awesome. I tried to record myself painting once, which I would never have the nerve to upload anywhere anyways, and it was SO HARD. Camera angle, lighting, editing... thats all beyond my grasp. So the fact that you could handle that and get past the anxiety part is a big accomplishment.

Its just weird to me that people would rather look that way than take personal responsibility. If I get called out on something, I'm like "Wow I did not realize, thanks for bringing it to my attention!" Its not hard to look at the world through someone else's perspective.

You guys are awesome. I like to stand up for what I believe in, but when I find out that so many people disagree with me, I start to have doubts. I'm glad I don't have to doubt myself and can continue fighting for what is right. I feel like in 2020, we should be well past all this stuff that separates us from each other. This is why we can't have aliens. They can see what a sh* show we are as a species.

@vengeance: Thank you and @DevilkinBoi: Thank you as well.
Its so hard because a LOT of people I once loved and respected prove themselves to be completely the opposite of what I want in my life. I don't have a lot of friends so its pretty bittersweet to learn that they're kinda horrible. I need to figure out how to meet better people in real life, but I barely know how I got the friends I do have XD

TW: All sorts of hurtful stuff.
So... I'm really particular about a few things. Racism, sexism, classism, transphobia... I won't stand for it. I guess that makes me a downer, because I totally call out my friends when they post insensitive memes. "Its just a joke! You're being too sensitive!" Yeah, maybe, but I know a lot of people who face verbal and physical abuse because of these jokes. I can't just stand by and not let you know you're hurting people I care about.
I stopped a friendship that I've had for nearly 16 years because the person in question was transphobic and posting "funny memes" about fighting trans women if they followed his wife into a bathroom. He knew full well I quit a job because I got punished for enforcing a trans woman's state right to use her bathroom of choice. He does not know I identify as non-binary myself because thats out of his mental realm to grasp, but I digress...
I always try to educate in a calm manner before I go full yeet. Not only do I get argued back with, but they'll let their friends and family berate me for simply saying "hey don't be a jerk to other human beings". They'll laugh at me for trying to defend people I love. At that point, I feel like the friendship wasn't even ended by me. Thats not how you treat friends.
Most recently one of my friends ex's, who we are all still on good terms with, posted a meme of an Asian woman failing to eat a live octopus which she captioned "Covid-20". Without that specific caption, I might have let it slide but, me being me, I had to say that seemed pretty racist. She stopped just short of calling me the racist one because the woman "just so happened to be Asian" and it "wasn't about that, it was about the fact that she was eating live octopus." I explained that yes the fact that she was Asian was relevant in todays climate, and yes the fact that she's targeting another cultures eating habits just added to this fact (live octopus may be weird but it is absolutely a cultural delicacy). I explained that this mentality was leading to physical and verbal abuse of Asians, Asian Americans, and even people who just kind of look Asian (because racists really don't care to get their facts straight) and she just refused to even acknowledge that it could be problematic. She said I was making the problem up, I was making it racist when nobody intended it to be. Then she let her friends call me stupid. So... I'm out. I didn't make a big deal of it, but I can't even imagine wanting to be friends with someone like that anymore. This was no isolated incident. She's posted a lot of things to FB targeting homeless people, trans people (she even has trans acquaintances who I know are not ok with this) and SO many things flopping about on the topic of this pandemic.... I just can't.
Am I a jerk, Voltra? Am I making a situation where there was none? I want my friends to be aware of things outside of their privilege, but I don't want to be the bad friend who always spoils peoples fun. Where do you all draw the line between jokes and harmful rhetoric?

I'm weeks away from having a baby in real life, so I'm excited about this avatar option. I'm such a nerd for my unborn child :p FUN FACT: babysitters cost more than I made at my last job. Might be more cost effective for your avi to just stay at home with that baby.

@Jolly: They make little plastic backers for hook style earrings to prevent them from falling out. I use them all the time. Its just like a tiny fitted tube but it totally works.
