When I was young, I got tested for autism, which I have. My mother and the person testing me agreed right there that I also had ADHD, but declined to officially diagnose because of various stigmas in schooling related to it, and medical/governmental stigmas on having two or more mental conditions.
Unfortunately, my mother also declined to actually tell me this until I was 19. Now a lot more things make sense, such as my impossibility in picking up any sort of constructive habit, or my severe hatred of being excluded in any way.
Not telling your kid they have a learning disability, chronic illness, mental illness etc. so they can “feel normal” actually does the opposite. They will not feel normal if they do not have the context to understand that their normal will be different from that of their peers.
They're swingers. I for one thought it was a reference to that old swinger couple from Benidorm (The series, not the actual location, which is also referenced in the game.)
I wouldn't have thought Tumblr would be late to the party on this one lmao
Also to answer OOP's question, no it's not a thing specific to British culture.
I've been having this question for awhile that no one explained yet https://x.com/highladderbed/status/1822893582166167933
Well
I'm not sure what these people's relations are just judging off the images, but we can assume this is an old image from the presence of more hair on the man's head. Maybe they used to date other people before dating each other. Dunno why they'd frame that but some weird stuff's going on here

a giant, glass shattering noise comes from the sky that is unmistakably the smash bros announcer saying “KING DEDEDE”. it makes headlines worldwide and people are scared. scientists find that the source of the noise was a dead star 2.7 billion light years away
like every other game dev born after 1985 i've had thoughts of making my own Pokemon-like and the main roadblock for me has been: how do i come up with a typing system that doesn't just mimic Pokemon's? and the answer is you don't come up with a system. maybe there's types but they're completely ad-hoc - you could even have one-off types just for one specific mon or move if you want. the flexibility is dizzying; you can add dozens or hundreds of new types whenever. sound type, radiation type, magic type. go wild! you begin to run into combinatorial explosion. strengths and weaknesses grow more nonsensical as you start skipping over most of your ever-growing type chart anytime you add a new one. after all, who cares whether food-type mons are weak or strong versus electricity? they just need to be weak against munch-type attacks, and maybe mold-type too. to make full use of the increasingly-specific types you've been coming up with, some of your mons end up with 5 or 10 types. your spidershark monster is, at the very least, a spider, shark, swim, beast, and bug type. overlaps happen; redundancies crop up. music type, nuclear type, mystic type. have you done those before? don't worry about it. 3 years into development you cannot imagine having ever hated anyone as much as you hate yourself
Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?
Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.
Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.
Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?
i have a resit coming up tomorrow, which i need to pass otherwise bad shit happens
i'm constantly having dreams of disasters befalling me or those close to me
my favourite game (one that has been in my life for roughly 32% of it) is on the verge of complete collapse
whenever i try to talk about it my closest friends just laugh it off, mainly because they've already internally jumped off the train (it took me about 2 years to have any one of my friends play the game with me again, they're all about to stop)
another one of my closest friends keeps inviting everyone else out and not me (i really want to put it down to him thinking i'm not a "going out" person, and not that he doesn't like me, but you know how the brain is)
and i know that other people have it much worse, even those close to me
i love hearing what lines from film/tv people quote with their family all the time because they're always niche and forgettable to everyone but that specific family
