that guy aint gonna do anything with that 50 cal. the amount of time and effort he has to go thru to be able to use that against you effectively is too much considering how close you are to him. mess up the belt right near the firearm and he might be able to get 1-2 shots off at most if he even gets a chance to. additionally, he would have to rack it unless he’s insane enough to be driving around with that thing already racked without anyone manning it.

basically, this guy is prolly the least threatening guy out there because he’s so over the top with threatening others; he did a loop back to the other end of the continuum. like they say in Cuba, “a dog that barks does not bite.” to me, this guy is saying, “if there is any sort of violent altercation coming, kill me first.”

What a dumb headline. “We’re just thinking about it. We’re also thinking about going to the beach on Sunday. 🫳🤜”

yep! that’s how the trap works. a red flag is a red flag no matter how many other green flags there are. this one is clearly a boundary bulldozer. imagine everything the OP in the screenshot had to go thru to block Jessica. yet, she’s still finding a way to contact them. im having flashbacks from this. 😵‍💫

The two things that appeal to me about the folding phone are (1) protecting the screen from scratches, especially in my pocket or backpack and (2) that when folded, I wont accidentally touch the screen in a way that will register as a click or swipe. The last one in particular is super annoying to me. However, it doesn’t seem like the technology is ready for this yet since it sounds like the folding mechanism breaks easily. And ofc, I never buy anything Apple.

Veritassium has a recent video about some of this that you may find interesting if you haven’t already seen it.

Are you referring to the one titled Something Strange Happens When You Follow Einstein’s Math.

It’s neat that you say that about queer spaces! When I was in high school in the late 90s, I was in the LGBTQ club, tho I’ve never identified as LGBTQ. I found myself there because I was part of the outcasts and fell into since they were accepting. It’s like we all accepted and looked after each other.

I appreciate that you pointed out internalizing our difficulties as character deficiencies. I’ve definitely been affected by that and have been working to get rid those beliefs in the past year. I can see the overlap with LGBTQ. Pretty interesting. Thank you very much!

While your body may not still be developing, you’re not done growing mentally/spiritually yet! Keep on keeping on, fellow audultie ✊

I got diagnosed just over a year ago in my 40s. I was diagnosed as a child, but they didnt tell me. I only realized it once I reviewed my childhood with my autism therapist. Anyway, this meme hits hard every time I have one of those revelations:

I was in the US Marine Corps and deployed with the front lines for the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. I never once even considered putting my M-16 on burst. I also had a 240G, which we’re taught to fire in little burts, about the time it takes to yell, “Run, fuzzy bunny, run!” Firing full auto is terrible practice. That Rambo style is for movies. Aiming is nearly impossible because of the tendency for the recoil to push the muzzle up, you’re wasting rounds, and you can also overheat the muzzle, potentially melting it to the point of making the firearm inoperable. Additionally, full auto on a magazine-fed firearm means you’ll have to reload in mere seconds, so the only way that would be helpful for maximum death is with one of those drums, which makes the rifle heavy as shit. Basically, full auto is pointless unless you’re using a firearm specifically designed for that, fighting a military force, have logistics to support your amm needs, and are using a “machine gun” starting with at least a M249 SAW. Even then, anything beyond that would likely require a second person to help.

understanding the differences between autism and- ? Other what’s?

Understanding the difference between autistic neurotype and every other neurotype. If you would like, you can choose specific neurotypes or provide education on neurotypes that also share a similar style with eye contact.

Makes me think of The Hypno-toad - www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDsIlAXWORw

lol! Yesss! This is very close to how I experience it. Too overwhelming that I dissociate.

eye contact feels like someone is talking to me, and most of the time it feels like they’re unaware they’re talking, and like they’re telling me intimate details that seem like a bit much to be sharing.

I feel similar! It’s like they are being too intimate. I feel completely uncomfortable with that in the vast majority of situations/relationships. In fact, I accidentally did it at salsa dance class this week with someone I barely know. I have only seen them in dance class once a week for the past ~4 weeks. Anyway, I maintained eye contact because it helped me understand what they were feeling, which was important information while we were learning and executing a complicated move. However, I didn’t just pick up on how they were feeling about the dance. It felt like they were having sex with me with their eyes. I still feel a bit violated by it, but maybe I misinterpreted what I picked up on. Regardless, I am going to make sure I limit eye contact in these situations. It’s too much for that level of a relationship.

I don’t want to look into anyone else’s brain, and I’m really not interested in having anyone looking into mine

From what I can tell, we are pretty similar in regards to eye contact. I found quite validating, so thank you for sharing. Check out my response to this post if you are interested.

Thank you! I’m glad we were able to relate on it. I think it’s helpful for self-awareness and developing healthy relationships.

Others don’t like me having eye-contact with them, because I’m too intense.

When people have told me that, I think it was because I was forcing myself to maintain eye contact rather than do it naturally like NTs do, so I would do wayyy to much of it 😳, which made them feel uncomfortable. “How do you like it‽” 😆

To me, depends at how far I am from them. up close, I can only look at one eye at a time. Which eye I choose depends on how much I want to engage. If I want all in, I’m going with the eye they’re using to look at my eye. If I want a little separation, then I will look at the other. Maybe from about 25 feet (7.5 m), I can focus on both eyes at the same time.
