    Had to spend Black Friday at work, but who shops in person anymore? Plus, that meant I had time to update my prehistoric mammals collection.

    Isn't it funny when time changes, you don't have as much time during the day as you used to?
    Levelskid
    First it was hot then cold and then hot again. All these weather changes is driving me nuts.

    Is it weird to carry a flashlight with you when your walking in the dark if only for security reasons?

    Carrying some protection is good, even if it's just to make you feel safer.

    At one point, I walked around late at night with a head lamp, so that I could see better. I quickly decided that it looked strange.

    LED conversion of a classic aluminum MagLite.
    A good solid maglite to the temple can change any attitude within arms length.
    I'm not going to preach at you about force when I just bought a .38 but I would suggest you try pepper spray as well as your light, as it's an ideal defensive arm in a lot of situations.

    Ever had people try to press your buttons just because you don't react like neurotypical people would?

    Yeah, yesterday at the plant at work! Same guy who usually starts stuff. He's been warned as well by the boss because I took the morning's crop of nonsense and explained it to people way on up the food chain.

    Thread 'Curious - does anybody else experience synesthesia?'

    Most people thing if synesthesia as something like "seeing colors," but there are far more types - for instance, to ME even numbers are "round," "friendly," and "blue," while odd numbers are "pointed," "harsh," and "red."

    Also, I use the red coffee cups because "they like me," but the dark green drinking glass is "dangerous."

    I never thought this was odd until I read about synesthesia types (sometimes a smell will start off as a color, then turn into a smell that reminds me of a color - "that smells like a light violet to me."), knew it was synesthesia, then read over a list of...

    Ever spent the entire day researching random stuff for no reason?

    I don't think it's ever lasted an entire day. But I can go down the rabbit hole for an hour or 2.

    Guilty as charged. Sometimes a combination of curiosity and perseverance.

    Is this bad?
    Levelskid
    Levelskid
    I don't think so.
    Levelskid
    Personal opinion: Kids should be taught basic computer literacy and coding as soon as they start school.

    Coding seems a bit niche in my opinion. IT lessons lasted 5 years at my school in UK and I finished school 22 years ago.

    I know that nowadays tablets and computers are much more prevalent in educational settings.

    I agree. I taught myself how to code.

    Do you ever agitated when someone rakes the leaves in a haphazard manner, leaving a trail of leaves still on the ground?

    Do you ever find it weird that stores always skip Thanksgiving decorations and go straight for the Holidays decorations?

    I find it endlessly annoying, honestly.

    Marketing. Who spends lots of money over hints and thoughts of Thanksgiving other than a turkey? Christmas? -Kaching!
