Hopefully, one with quiet relief.
Mom wouldn't want you miserable every year because of her.

I'm the wrong person to answer this. I react badly to eggs (just know it's gastrointestinal and unpleasant) and I have oral allergy syndrome (specifically bananas).
Love hot sauce though!
Here's hoping we see a response.
I had a hard time arguing against Sam's Club muffins for breakfast.
For less than $6, I can have nine 710 calorie muffins. But the cost to my health to eat that much pure sugar with extremely little nutrition and like zero protein?
But that'd breakfast for 9 days for less than $7 (including tax.)
People who say eating healthy is cheaper if you're willing to spend the time have never been to Sam's Club.
This is such a universal feeling.
Hey if you want a friend, I'm here. Keep in mind I have crippling ADHD so when I vanish for a huge chunk of time it's not because I don't love you but because I've fallen for one of the classic blunders (I only think about you when I'm afk or working so I'm thinking about you but you don't get a message.)
This is probably why all my long-term friends are neurologically atypical actually. We all have the same problem. And why one of my oldest friends and I catch up on a random weeknight at odd hours about once month when one of us sends the other a meme.
There was this mean thing people would say back in like the 90s, that the people complaining online win every argument because everyone who had success was busy being in a relationship.
Didn't you hear? Massive shortage on. Most of us can't get our medicine. (And it's not "medicine" jackass. It's the difference between me being "employable, constructive member of society" and a "disaster in human form.")
This is absolutely hilarious and I can see it being a case of "well, we lost Joseph, so just put an extra Mary in there."
Nowadays they just call it what it is. Politics.
Autism can present in many ways and many "levels." Are you talking about making all of your gnomes a specific, similar presentstion (ASD 1?) Or are you talking about specific stereotypes of autism? Are you talking about giving them all your very specific brand of behaviors associated with an autism diagnosis?
Because this is all important. If you're making them all have racial traits that are like you, then I say, have at, but maybe don't call it autism specifically, because you're representing a specific type and others might feel unrepresented. Or if you're making them all have behaviors we associate with a specific type of ASD, then make sure there's room in there for them to present in their unique ways.
Example: All gnomes have ASD traits. Make a roll on a chart for all known associated behaviors, randomly assigning those traits. Maybe this gnome is bad at eye contact, but maybe that one is bad at eye contact and also hypersensitive to sound. Maybe this one is extremely interested in obscure music, or that one is really great at drawing.
There's a lot to figure out but I think you can do it! If you want to. It's cool to write things we're familiar with but also to be true to our own experience. I have ADHD but my behaviors are very different from my ADHD boyfriend, and both our types are valid.
I have no idea. It's monstrously large so that might be why.
I was buying them and eating half of one for breakfast but with like no protein and no redeeming qualities beyond "not hungry" and "taste good" I knew it wasn't a real option. But my point here wasn't "this is what I do," my point was, "people are being disingenuous when they pretend it's not a real option many people are taking."
I work 12 hour shifts. I do meal prep of curries or stews and that makes a good, cheap meal, but the storage required to freeze 3 meals worth of meal prep for 4 days of work... plus the time it consumes in making and properly cooling and storing those meals... it's not a luxury many people have. Convenience options are very appealing for many reasons and there's this place where "I have to spend at least a day a week planning for work, preparing and putting away food in order for it to be healthy" yoyos around to, "I don't make enough to buy healthy convenience food." If I had kids I'd never be able to prep like I do. Hell, it's difficult as it is!
