If you ever trip and fall in public, just get up and say "man, haven't inhabited a body in a while" and keep going

"Wow, legs on this planet sure are weird!"

Bipedal walking is basically controlling a fall with every step. It's not surprising that sometimes you fall.

Variations of this can work especially well if you're a Goth and literally look like a vampire... "Ugh, undead legs get so stiff sometimes."

I try to fake #1 without falling into sarcastic self deprecation.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

sarcastic self deprecation sounds like a great song or band name but also a downward spiral of psychological shit.

I'd this is autism then I have some unexpected conversations coming up.

Your inability to write coherent text only adds to that.

The only thing wrong with that comment is "if" got typo'd + autocorrected to "I'd"

I shook off a few things yday. Although the things going wrong were all things ive been putting off doing for months, so it was largely me knowing if I had done these things sooner they wouldnt be going wrong like they were that was helping me brush it off. Somehow it can be easier when you know why everything is going wrong..
