Hades: "You can take Eurydice out of the Underworld, but if you turn back to check on her, she'd be trapped here forever!"
Me as Orpheus: "Mmm... normally it's no issue, but today is a high anxiety day and I'm afraid I might snap and take a look. Can we do it tomorrow after I get a night of sleep?"
I had a pair of jeans that managed to pull that off. One pair, and when I lost it, I haven't found anything else like that
Fun fact: when you play as Astarion origin and get hounded by Cazador in Act 1 dream sequence, you can trade with him
I love talking to kids about disability bc
1. they often just Get It, and
2. they have 0 concept of disability as a tragedy or something pitiable.
I've watched kids get into an argument with a teacher bc they thought wheelchairs were cool. I told a kid that I can't stand for too long sometimes and they replied, "That's okay, I can't do cartwheels sometimes, but I just do other stuff then. You can sit down with me if you want". Today a girl asked me what the headphones on a classmate's desk were for and I told her that headphones are important for some kids because noises bother them, and she said she wished she had headphones at home, because her baby brothers make a lot of noise and it makes it hard to think. The idea that different people could use tools at different times is intuitive and simple and when accessibility aids are explained neutrally, kids don't see them as bad or unfortunate, they're just things that are useful.
Even mental disability!! In Kindergarten the other day one of the kids asked me why his table partner got stickers when nobody else did. I started off by saying, "Well, when you do your work well, it feels good, right? That's your brain giving you a reward," and the kid just right away went, "Oh, and the stickers are like his reward?" YES! You are 5 and have a better grasp on ADHD than most adults! Kids blow me away every day.

Doctor calls you with your bloodwork results and just says “I’m really mad at you” and then hangs up
You make it normal by doing it
"This is a phone alarm. One of those is enough to wake a grown man"
"How many did you set?"
How do you manage time blindness?
Me whenever I have to go somewhere:
Those are my morning alarms. They allow me to get ready for work without losing track of time.
And somehow, I sometimes still manage to leave late.
Capitalists have somehow got it in their minds that capitalism is human nature, even though it's literally the system most removed from it
People hypothesize that Elon Musk's child's gender transition was the thing that pushed him off the edge and turned him into what we see now. I don't know if it's true, but if it is, it's so supremely ironic. They _told us_ that transgender ideology will bring the western civilization down, but we didn't listen!
