Make music, perform music, make games, make movies, write small books and maybe draw pictures.

And then I would try out being a research attorney, being an EMT, a pilot, maybe working with NASA at some point and working for some government agency specializing in digital warfare.

People always assume if you had everything you would just sit at home and be lazy and never try anything. But from my experience you don’t do that shit just because you’re complacent, you do it because either you are way too stressed out to try out new stuff or you are in the middle of a depressive episode. Almost all people I know wouldn’t be able to be lazy for more than 2 weeks, they would start making something.

NGL the question and the projections read like they are two different posts.

Hi, I’m audhd as well. What do the levels mean? I had an informal diagnosis done by my therapist but I didn’t get a level, I was just “high functioning”.

But why does our fingerprint grow back the same way when we damage our outer skin layer on our fingers? Or does it not?

It has “safe seas” now iirc

Thank you the kitten was my main concern :P

Things that might be helpful:

• how long y’all been together?
• what’s her relationship to her family?
• how many people and how big is the place?
• (when) do you intend to get your own place?
• what country and would you be able to afford your own place soon?
• are there specific reasons you would move in other than “she lives there and we wanna be together”?
• how far is the move from your place currently?
• can you find me an image of a kitten? I love those.

Also please don’t take Internet advice at face value on such delicate topics, we can show you what to keep in mind, but you are best suited to decide and I’m sure whatever you will decide, you’ll find your way :)

Totally agree.

Although as an outsider without any context I find it hard to “recommend” what to do, these are definitely red flags.

Also the comments about your autism are degrading and mean and your friend should know better. I wanna assume she just doesn’t know better, but that doesn’t change that she should really stop saying those things.

why are (some) extroverts like this?

I sometimes do this too even though I’m very introverted. I do this because I want to feel useful with the experience I gained and it just feels like a waste sitting on some knowledge and not being able to do something with it.

It’s a really cool thing if you can help someone. And some people have such a need for this, either they completely forget they were very explicitly not asked, and some will ignore it, just in the hopes they get to contribute.

Funnily enough I get to see both sides, because I also sometimes get an answer from multiple people, so I’ve learned how to handle it to some degree.

The best thing to do is not to tell them to shut up, but to acknowledge it and then explicitly say “also wanna hear from [experienced] person as well on this though.”

Tbf “our CEO went off making hitler salutes, dismantling our government and issuing shady deals with rich people” is one hell of an excuse. Probably the best one yet for Tesla.

On a serious node, I feel bad for the engineers who came there to do something great and never got to follow through on it. There’s some geniuses working there that should get more deference.

Person with autism here: the truth is even if some people on the spectrum can’t use the bathroom by themselves, it’s either a comorbidity linked to a different disability or it’s obscenely rare.

The way autism expresses in different people is very complex and this is this is one of the worst mischaracterizations I’ve ever seen.

That guy shouldn’t be able to touch the US health department or any other health organization for that matter with a ten foot pole. He is explicitly and intentionally spreading lies on a variety of different topics and should have no authority.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Yeah I’ve come to accept that there’s an amount of money needed to get comfortable. But when you get there, any surplus will not bring any happiness and might even inspire egoism and jealousy. But there is a line.

If you wanna go back for nostalgia you can do it but keep in mind when I did that is sucked, so don’t expect too much lol

If you keep your expectations down it might actually be fun for a bit

I think drawings are good because this gives us more cat per cat.

Started with EDM 10 years ago (melodub, dnb, electro, …).

I think now I’m into indie / indie rock. Although I get spikes of EDM and metal in between.

10/10

Love that Harry potter character.

This is a good time to ask: I want to use AI on a local server (deepseek maybe, image generators like flux, …) is there a cheaper alternative to flagship Nvidia cards which can do it?

About 5 years ago I would’ve agreed but since then I’ve seen some shit in publicly streamed trials and politics, so I don’t hold any standard anymore regarding this.

I’m wondering if your social group has something to do with it. Usually social circles have very distinct habits and patterns of behavior so this might be related.

That said, if not, it could be more of a perception but it could also be real.

And then the question is what can you change, and what should you change.

I have autism, so I empathize with the inability to see yourself from the outside and to understand how much and in what ways behaviors affect others - but I’ve also learned that if you have friends, you can always ask them about it, and if they’re good friends, they will give you useful pointers. More useful than random people on the Internet anyway.

So either it is they way you act or perceive things, which is stuff you can work on, or it’s a pattern of a specific friends circle, and that means maybe you just express yourself very differently and therefore it’s hard to relate to them.

Anyway I wish you good look on figuring it all out and as someone who is constantly trying to improve, I’m sure if you take a hold of the root cause, you’ll quickly adapt :)
