Things I Don't Get

i don't get why so many working class folk vote against their best interests just to stick it to people they don't like.

I don't get why boomers think younger generations are all snowflakes but then they throw a fit when they find out Cookie Monster's name used to be Sid.

Actually, Cookie once said back in the earlier 2000s on Sesame Street that when he was a baby he wasn't called Cookie Monster, and he wasn't sure but he thought his name was Sid. Then he ate a cookie his mother gave him for the first tine and he became the Cookie Monster we know and love. But when Cookie himself mentioned this on Facebook a boomer flipped out and said how they loved and trusted him since they were a kid and change is evil and bla bla bla.
Obviously the boomer didn't know how Cookie didn't eat cookies until he was given one when he was maybe five or six months old, so he had a different name before then. Really.

Do your remember when the network tried to change his name to Veggie Monster?

^ In that case I don't get why a honey badger isn't called a badger before its first taste of honey.

^ I don’t get why I restrain myself from saying something very naughty in response.

^I dont get that either.
Not like you've held back before.

I was wondering why some people are born as w*kers and c***su**ers prior to any known experience in that regard.

Cookie Monster was my nickname growing up, since I loved to eat cookies.

Totally unprompted and almost unconsciously, I developed the quirk of only eating cookies four at a time. If there were less than four available I would eat two (an even number), and if there were only one i wouldn't touch it. I absolutely cannot eat an odd number of cookies. But if there are plenty of cookies I always eat four. Fifty years later and to this day it is one of those things I can't shake. I don't know if it is autism or just OCD (which i have never been tested for).

Perhaps the cookie monster has doughnut and croissant monster cousins.

I can’t stand gloves and I have major meltdowns and rip them off if I have to wear them. That includes winter gloves, work gloves, or ****shivers**** latex gloves. It’s a sensory thing because each finger gets too much sensation from the glove but at the same time there’s sensory deprivation because I can’t feel anything I touch. It’s too much and too little sensory input at the same time.

I normally stim a lot with my hands as sensory receptors so it causes a panic attack if I can’t touch things.

Mittens, on the other hand (lol), are great because my fingers can touch each other and stim plus no one has to see or know.

Yes I’m weird. I shovel snow and scrape ice and do all outside work without gloves even when it’s well below zero. I don’t do socks either. Yeek!!
