I wonder how music video directors decide how many different outfits/aesthetics are acceptable for a single video.

Does anyone else still remember those LeapFrog videos from the 2000s? I know I do. My favorites back then were the school one with the frogs and this weird one with the colorful people. I think the last one was called “Sing and Learn with Us!” Or something.

No, but I remember the books with the pen that said a word when you tapped it. I love frogs and toads now, but I don’t think that had to do with the books lol.
 
I saw an Autism service dog a few days ago. The dog had a vest stating he was an "Autism support dog."

I didn't know why a service dog would be needed for Autism, and out of curiosity and wanting to learn more, I looked it up.

My immediate thought was "what is an autism support dog?" I initially thought it was an ESA, but the vest had nothing about ESA on it.

Apparently, Autism support dogs prevent meltdowns. That was one of the things the dog had written on his vest. I'm still not sure what all is required of an Autism support dog. I'm personally not Autistic so I'm not sure I'll ever fully understand, but I think it's better to ask questions and educate ourselves over jumping to a conclusion.

I ended up jumping to a conclusion in my head, and instead of making a big deal about it, I educated myself and answered my own question. I understand why a dog would be helpful now. I just wasn't sure of the difference between an "Autism support dog" and an "Emotional support dog." As I said, I initially thought they were the same, but I discovered that they weren't because of research.

Edit: It was a golden retriever! Amazing dogs!

Makes me miss my own dog... very much. Everytime I had meltdowns or came home from a bad day at school, she'd run to me and greet me by rolling on her back (showing belly is a sign of trust for dogs) She'd always help me feel better. She was really sweet.
 
You know something? Why haven't I had many users here following me or me following them? What did I do to deserve this fate?

I don't wanna jump to conclusions here, but I may just be one of the most shunned users on the whole forums or something, then again I may just not give the friendships to others myself because I'm afraid of the backlash being negative. Yes, I have had made a few major negative reputation choices here, but there really is no cost to trying to form some friendly gestures to make some TBT friends here I guess... For one part I'm lazy and forget, which may be one of the reasons why. I don't even tell anyone Happy Birthday when most are doing it, only when I feel like it.

Maybe one day I'll fight the nervousness and hope for the best. After all you guys trust me right? (No seriously, after what happened on Discord several days ago I don't know anymore...)

To be honest I can't speak for anything happening on Discord as I'm not a part of the TBT Discord or Twitch and don't intend on joining, but I can say that over time you've seemed like a kind person. Just from my interactions with you, even though they've been few and far between, you seem like a good person. Not sure what people would have against you to be honest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you want to talk more you can DM me by the way. 💚

I feel the same way too sometimes. But I try to remain social and active. One thing I learned is that there are even fewer users who are ignoring me than users who would react to every single post I make.

In the past, my main flaw among the rest of the community is that I’m too right-winged. I’m also very impatient when it comes to buying or selling collectibles. Even on my first year, I was socially awkward and childish (yet I was at my best on public forums at the time). Now I have to say, I have improved a lot since my first year. I’m not as picky over art anymore. I’m not as conservative as I used to be. I am unwilling to sell collectibles I got for free. And I’m still going to be satisfied after an event even if I don’t get anything at all. There are still two things I struggle with. One is that I can’t take criticism over my beliefs or my actions. The other is that I focus too much on those who were ignoring me or weren’t being nice to me. You may not see me express these flaws, but I still feel them.

If it makes you feel any better:
1: I got like 0 followers
2 This is supposed to be a friendly/safe space. if there's any extreme negative backlash (threats, etc) just report it :]
3: Don't beat yourself up about birthdays. People in real life forget mine a lot, so I don't know why people online feel the need to remember. This might sound bad, but I didn't even know how to bring up people's birthdays until recently, so you're not alone
4: I've got no idea what happened on discord. several times in the last few days I close it for half an hour, and come back to everything everywhere all at once. this morning for example I checked in at 6am. I then looked back in on it at 7am, and there was 14,000 messages according to the little blue bar.

At the end of the day, we're all just people trying to do something meaningful. As long as you're not being a piece of [sheesh], and are respectful online there shouldn't be any reason for people to dislike you. If the stuff online is stressing you out, then step back and take a break. You're not obliged to spend every second of your free time online, and for example, if someone is pinging and @ ing you and it's annoying or hurtful, turn your phone off. Shut down your computer. Just relax, maybe go for a walk.

(sorry if this was a bit long : )
 
I just caught Spanky trying to bite my right joystick on my switch 😳; she never did that before. It is getting close to her breakfast so that is probably why she did that 😅. still, i need to watch her when I have my switch out now
 
It’s so hot that it’s hard to fall asleep at this point. It takes double the time it used to take me to fall asleep now. Super helpful the week I have finals.

If you had to write a book on the American Civil War, what event do you think started it all? And what event do you think would be the last in the Civil War saga? Obviously, the battles of Fort Sumter and Appomattox were the start and end to the actual civil war, but it would feel incomplete without the events that led up to the war and the events that followed the war.

In my book, I would start with the Missouri Compromise and end with Plessy v Ferguson. Sure that the whole thing goes before and after the said events, but everything in between is about what led to the war, what happened during the war, what results followed the war, and what the war was about?

My fingers actually hurt from writing two essays back to back today. Luckily those are the only classes I have to write that much for.

Ouch, that must've hurt! I hope they get better.

In my school, we always typed our essays instead of writing them all out. I wish you were there!
