Instead of saying “bless you” when someone sneezes, I quite like the alternative: “shut the fuck up”.

The Bucharest palace looks architecturally appealing to me. Anyone know of any other examples of behemoth’s like this?

I can see it being hollowed out and converted into a huge shopping mall at some point.

Onkalo spent nuclear fuel repository in Finland ought to make the list if CERN is allowable.

I get the sentences/particular words thing in my head. Have mentioned it to individuals on occasion but it’s only ever been received with dismissal so I thought it was just a personal, unexplainable quirk of mine. You’re the first person I’ve seen referencing it. I can inexplicably become struck by a word or short phrase such as “conjugational recombination” and have it rattle around my head for hours. I can get on with my day but say I’m at work and it’s a day with an odd/previously un-ushered phrase stuck in my head, I can get some tasks done as normal then in between tasks my brain is as if it’s enjoying some rhythmic/phonetic quality of the phrase as it cycles it repeatedly through my consciousness. It can get old very quickly but I tend to have no control over when it leaves me. Doesn’t happen very often thankfully.

Music has been a massive part of my life since I was about 10. I’m always tapping out a rhythm, or have a restless foot/leg. My wife has called me Thumper after the Bambi character for as long as I remember. I don’t tend to notice if I have a restless leg at work unless I’m emailing then it’s obvious and pretty constant; but at home it’s pretty much all the time. Even if it’s just a toe doing an occasional stretch or whatever. I try not to “BE Thumper” when I notice it but then I find I’ll end up sort of pushing or pulling a foot/leg against something ie my other foot/leg. There’s less noticeable movement with that but definitely still something going on.

Are these behaviours ever associated with allistic people? I would have thought the phrases thing to have more in common with tourettes given my experience of it is that of it being involuntary.

Not this again.

I’m squatting on the landing at the top of the stairs and now need to shuffle off in shame to get some TP for my bunghole.

No recommendations for broken sword 🧐

I’m not familiar with the games you’ve mentioned but I believe Fire Emblem: Three Houses might be relevant (on Switch). My sister in law was playing it one time we were staying at theirs. I was encouraged to give it a whirl. Had several very late nights honing my team.
