what a jerk

twitch has an emote called pogchamp that looks like this

and its basically used to say like "goddamn, holy shit, that was awesome" and whatever. theres also an emote called "poggers" which is basically the same thing except its pepe making the pogchamp face. theres a lot of emotes that are just people "pogging".

in case ur wondering yes the pog part is derived from pogs, those cardboard circles that drove everyone bonkers in ye olden days

So you know how you can't make yourself put your hand down on a hot stovetop? There's a part of your brain that stops you from doing that? That's what Neurodivergent Can't Do Task Mode™ feels like

Even if we want to do it, there's a barrier stopping us from doing it, and it's really hard to override

And why does our brain see the task as a hot stovetop? Because when neurotypicals finish a task, they get serotonin, but we don't get that satisfaction after completing a task. A neurotypical wouldn't get serotonin from putting their hand on a hot stovetop, it would just hurt. When we can't do a task, it's because our brain knows that the task will hurt (metaphorically) and wants to avoid that.

It's not that we're choosing not to do the task, it's that our brain is physically preventing us from doing it.

Neurotypicals can and should reblog but please don't add anything
