I've heard this before, and don't get it. I mean, sure, I'm a late bloomer, I was about 20 when I figured out my sexuality and even older when I figured out my gender. But people don't experience attraction before puberty, right? How do they know what groups of people they'll grow up to be attracted to?
Huh, funnily enough I thought this was about the opposite. I barely have a social battery, so I don't meet up with people much, and only for a limited time. But when I do, I'm the life of the party.
No offense, but this post is sort of crazy to me because I've read a bunch of comments explaining how it actually happens, and id categorize all of them as normal results of critical thinking. As in, you could've answered your own question with some critical thinking.
I'd be kinda ok with someone jokingly saying that about themselves when they're actually autistic. But just randomly calling a stranger autistic in association with a specific interest is so regressive and insulting.
Oh absolutely. Far less likely though*, since car drivers actually have accountability here. As soon as there's no fear of punishment, ppl will be assholes. I'd rather people don't be assholes. Also, one sidewalk cyclist broke my glasses and I couldn't afford new ones, another one hit me on a way where my hip still creaks years later. So again, I'd just rather every participant in traffic abides by the rules and doesn't endanger others, even if the danger isn't life threatening.
I was going to reply sincerely, then I got the reference. Nice!
Both of those are things my driving instructor told me, worked like a charm! Passed the exam with ease, despite being super nervous.
My city is super walkable with great walking and biking infrastructure. Still get run over by some fuck on a bicycle or escooter on the sidewalk or zebra crossing.
Interesting! If I could literally only pick one thing (well one combo I guess) I'd 100% go for toothpaste and toothbrush! I feel ok skipping a shower or a few, but not brushing my teeth every day feels horrible to me!
But yeah I totally makes sense to keep it pretty variable depending on where you're going.
Perfectly valid that you'd rather not be autistic! But those of us who wouldn't want our autism removed aren't secretly using that as a cope or deluding ourselves that it's a super power. Personally, I just feel like it's inseparable from my personality and who I am at the core of my being. I wouldn't want to not be autistic kinda the same way I wouldn't want to not be trans. Sure, it'd be easier to be neurotypical, and it'd be easier to be cis. But I wouldn't be me if I were, y'know?
Again, you're valid in wanting to be neurotypical, but those of us who don't want that are valid, too.
Same and same. Everything being re readable makes me nervous and awkward. Chat is for ppl I feel comfortable around.
Just another little option for cologne: can you just fill some of the stuff you usually use into a smaller bottle? That's what I do with shampoo. Thinking about it, I should do it with face wash, too! Could buy a travel sized bottle once and then keep refilling that, or could just buy a small empty bottle.
The big fallacy with 'can just conform to cis gender norm' is that it doesn't separate us from binary trans ppl at all. Everyone could technically deny their transness and go with cis normativism. But that's emotionally and psychologically damaging or even impossible. At the very least it's preferable to live as your true gender. I don't get why that should be different for binary and non binary trans people.
What's the point of having your house be unattached if you're not going to have a green space? Even a shared one.
I love to get super cute to rot. Like I don't have to worry about anyone reading me as the wrong gender (I'm nb), I can wear alllll the makeup. I wash it off after like two hours when the sensory issues hit, but still.
But I do look forward to it. Until the day it's supposed to happen, that is.
Funnily enough, calculator is one of the few proprietary apps I've paid for and still happily lose. Wolfram alpha just does many things that other calculators don't.
Same here, and those Aldi cucumbers are like 1,50€ or a little more.

But like, most people have headphones nowadays. You can very easily just blast it in your ears.
I'm from there and didn't know this wasn't a global thing haha. Partner and I have two blankets but usually fall asleep under the same one. If someone gets too hot they just take the other blanket.
It's crazy to me that a hotel would only provide one duvet, never seen that. What if you're travelling with a friend and the line is just between sharing a bed and sharing a blanket?
