I don't know anything about cookies, but I recommend that you do what you want forever ♡

I hope you get some sleep soon.

from my understanding, cookies are basically tiny bits of information stored on a users browser. for example, the theme changer. your page will send my browser a key value pair, in this case which theme I pick on your page, which I can chose to either accept or deny. if I chose to accept, any time I visit your page, my browser will automatically recognize the settings or themes I set related to your page.

there are many kinds of cookies, like session management, personalization, and the most common kind of cookies we come across, which is tracking. tracking cookies are the ones people have the most issue with because it's a way for companies to store seemingly useless information on you to later sell to other companies to then show you hyper personalized ads, amongst other things.

in your case, I would have nothing to worry about. the cookies you are using are just personalization. the only information you are collecting are things like which theme people prefer, that way they don't have to constantly change it to their preference each and every time they visit your page. you can learn more about it in the HTTP Cookies Wikipedia page, under the Uses section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_

i havent finished disco elysium yet, but i agree it feels more like a storybook than a game. it feels so expansive and the worldbuilding is absolutely genius, its like once you get into it its hard to stop playing. im so happy you enjoyed it, i'd love to hear more of your thoughts on it soon when you have the energy to. i hope you feel better soon, and your f*mily.

oh yeah i was really surprised at how deep the worldbuilding went! like, you never leave this tiny ass piece of shit town but every other country in the world has relevant sociopolitics and history. it's overwhelming on purpose i think. ty for the well wishes too, jamie :)

I like your review, UA :-) Though I think it's maybe a bit unfair to criticize the book for not being good autistic representation, because the book never claimed to be such a thing. I also thought the ending was happy, so it's interesting to hear you call it sad. I think to continue working at the convenience store was an act of nonconformity, & I think the reason people seem to take issue with it is because it's a

convenience store. I've seen others call the ending sad, & I think it's because working at a convenience store is seen as sad. I guess I don't see it that way because I see everything as meaningless, with her job being as meaningless as any other. I like that she doesn't get "cured," because she doesn't need to be cured. A cure in her case would be conformity; the issue (to everyone in the book) is that she doesn't

is that she doesn't live in a way prescribed by others. I see it as an act of rebellion in a society that punishes such things.

it's true the book doesn't claim to represent autism, but i think it's still important to address because it's regarded as such. i realize that's a problem with the audience more than the author, which is why i called it more like a projection. as for the ending, yeah i'm super happy she chose nonconformity and therefore chose to go back to a store. store work is totally valid!

how i interpreted it when she said she wanted a cure or change was that she ultimately wanted people to let her live the way she wants. i think by going back to a new store with new strangers she can put her mask back on, but i don't think she achieves the privacy, respect, nonjudgment, and ability to be genuine that she was actually seeking. idk that makes me sad lol

ah i really enjoyed your review. i've heard of convienece store woman before but have never heard people say it had autism rep. good or bad. it might justbe dependent on what circles we hang around in on the internet haha. i can understand feeling disappointed by the ending, too. i haven't read the book yet but maybe the ending was more so about the change in perspective about what she wanted instead of attaining it?

also i can't wait for ur review on Giovanni's Room, it's another book I wanted to read soon. i had it in my hands a few weeks ago but set it down, i always get so upset afterward when i do. grr... i hope youre enjoying it so far
