I speak languages that differentiate between "t" and "d".

You know how people often assume someone is trolling, simply because their account is new?

Another reason would be to not have a billion dead accounts on servers.

When I first considered signing up (I think it was on Mastodon), I was told how very easy it would be to move from one instance to another so it wouldn't matter where I sign up - so I chose the first server that caught my eye. It was also implied that I'd need exactly one login for the entire Fediverse.

In hindsight, I'm okay with this not being true but it was a disappointment. At least moving servers (while taking your history with you) should be a lot easier if we're trying to avoid big instances becoming bigger.

Almost as if what's in the photo, for all we know, might be strawberry mush.

The original original post.

Listen, I know that the FDA in the US is banning that one type of red dye - even though I'm not from the US. That's how unavoidable the topic is if you're just a little too online. That's the cultural context. Now show me in the original post where it says "red dye".

The post is about sauce that happens to be red. The post cleverly avoids saying "food dye" and everybody just assumes it must be about food dye because of cultural context.

My main point being that not every food that is red has artificial food dye in it.

I have ADHD and probably also the 'tism and I've never felt like hurting others or myself after eating sauce that happened to be red because it contained red ingredients. After eating anything, really, for that matter.

There may also be evidence of certain red foods being red because of ingredients other than red food dye.

Honest question: why do you want that? What would you do with it? Tbh, I'm not even entirely certain I know what it is you're looking for. "Character templates"?

Sounds legit.

A new Whovian, how nice!

Gotta be honest, I don't get that either.

What exactly was it you expected?

Also why we endlessly do the hip wiggle to avoid going to the loo until it hurts.

"Just do [X]" does not compute, whether X is "yoga", "sports", "[specific diet]", "the laundry", or simply "it". It is never simply "just". The inability to "just" start doing a thing (especially without any immediate reward) is one of the central symptoms of ADHD and if you say "just do [X]", you're essentially saying "just don't have ADHD".

ADHD also doesn't mean you are/were bad in school. Not by a long shot.

Oh I see, hah. It did sound like you were simply misremembering and it's been quite a while since I saw the movie so that went right over my head.

Won't that just make people smoke more to get their nicotine hit?

Was that Ozzy? Whoever it was, it was a request for a bowl of only brown M&Ms backstage and their reasoning was that, if that request wasn't fulfilled, whoever was responsible didn't do their job and they'd assume that other, necessary stuff also wasn't done properly. Kind of a canary, in a way.
