- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 55 minutes ago:
I’m not a patient person.
Even that is a choice.
the easy answer.
“Choosing” to give another answer feels completely strange, foreign, not me
Oh, come on. Life starts when you get your lazy ass up and try it ; -)
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 1 hour ago:
are you telling me to start telling them
Not this time. It’s a theoretical answer to this kind of question. You decide if and when to use it.
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 1 hour ago:
I like how you present this as a choice
And it’s true. Everything you do has been your choice to do.
what do I do with people like this? I simply don’t care about their beliefs
But don’t you see the possibilities there? Your choice!
Especially with the “ranting ones” it is so easy to give them peace (because they can hardly ever see through it): just fake a little understanding, listen just a little longer and then finish it by (for example) telling them that it was nice talking and now you are going to continue with your work.
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 9 hours ago:
what bothers and triggers me is people constantly asking why I don’t talk more
I have developed an answer to such questions:
I play chess. If you know that game: when it’s my turn, there are many possible moves. I can make only one. I can think about many of the other possibilities, but usually not all of them. So in the end, I am going to have one answer to the question “why did I…?” Only one is needed. And I am going to have only a few answers to all the possible questions “why didn’t I…?”. Maybe two or three, sometimes maybe even five of these possible moves that I decided against. But there will always be so many more possible moves (about 30 by average), where I don’t know the reason why I didn’t choose to make them. And in real life there are even more possibilities what I could do. Every second I do a thing, and I don’t do so many other things… And that’s why that question “why didn’t you?” is so boring, and so useless.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 4 days ago:
Farts are always 37°, your core temperature.
Therefore: yes, your fart heats up the room.
If one was already profoundly hypothermic,
Your skin is way cooler, and your arms and legs, but your core remains very close to 37.
If your core goes profoundly below 35°, you don’t care about farting anymore.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 4 days ago:
And you need streaming video, because I want to watch, but I don’t want to be in the same room.
- Comment on Do farts at least nominally increase the overall temperature of the room in which they are extruded? 4 days ago:
If you’re hypothermic to the point where your fart is cold, it might be beneficial
… then your body is already dead, and the fart is involuntary
- Comment on Has a woman ever orgasmed by subwoofer? 5 days ago:
See the movie “Private Parts”!

If he were emancipated: wouldn’t he do only half of the chores? ; -)
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
NTA you are not the asshole. It seems somewhat feasable and legit, if everybody agrees.
But still I recommend against the idea.
Reason: Conflicts between ex and gf will arise. They are unavoidable. Life in general will become more difficult for all. Life for the kids has just started to be more difficult anyway (the teenage years). In all this, I cannot help the impression that you are the kind that avoids conflicts instead of resolving them.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
More information is needed here:
Is the house your own and yours alone, so that you can make this decision alone?
Is the available space equally enough for all the possible variants?
Is the money of any concern in the whole story? (If yes, please elaborate)
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
There’s a lot of “should”, but that’s not the way it works.
The genes usually take one thing from dad, one thing from mom etc. but it happens not so often that they mix both to find the “mean value” or something.
- Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier? 1 week ago:
Do you set fire on your fart immediately?
Then you probably have a lighter ;-)
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
You must try:
- a Biergarten
- a swim in the river Isar
- the public parks in the city (new york central park is just a joke)
- climb up the stairs of a church tower and enjoy the view, preferably the 'Alter Peter’
- public transport in Munich, especially the trams
- window shopping in the Maximilianstrasse
If you go to Neuschwanstein, take your time and enjoy a whole day there, first do some hiking in the area around, 2-3 hours, then walk up to the castle itself, and afterwards a little boat trip on the lake Forggensee nearby.

You can google for ‘German stare explained’
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 2 weeks ago:
It depends a lot where your story happens. Laws are quite different.
In my country, this little detail would save you …
it’s not like my shirt is emitting damaging laser beams or anything, it’s entirely passive.
… unless you were deliberately wearing this for the purpose of doing such damage, and somebody could prove that.
- Comment on How difficult would it be to live in a modern-day developed country without a smartphone? 2 weeks ago:
And did you have a payment card that worked in Sweden? Or was it not needed?
- Comment on How difficult would it be to live in a modern-day developed country without a smartphone? 2 weeks ago:
Why would they lock out tourists from public transport?
- Comment on How difficult would it be to live in a modern-day developed country without a smartphone? 2 weeks ago:
More and more official / administration things in more and more countries require a smartphone.
So: outright impossible, unless you want to unplug yourself from any “normal” living, earning money etc.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It still feels like that’s crossing a boundary
That’s because it is.
But sometimes crossing a boundary can be a good thing after all.
- Comment on Handling malicious coworker advice 2 weeks ago:
This is a manipulative person, and you have not found your defense so far. You are defenseless (except some of the managers seem a little protective).
Avoid any communication with this person if possible. Be careful never to be dependent on them in any way.
Take good care for yourself at all times. When talking to others about this person, ask only for advice about what would be best for yourself, nothing else, no talking anymore about what they have said or done etc.
- Comment on For some reason suicide is illegal. If someone is going or trying to commit suicide and get talked down are they still in trouble or get locked up or sent to a medical facility? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know exactly, but I think it is made illegal mostly in order to clarify circumstances:
Police has a clear reason to get involved (not just a general “maybe somebody should help this person”), people who “help” with committing suicide are also doing this illegally (no need to start a discussion first) etc.
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 2 weeks ago:
Hurting people is not generally good.
It is also not as directly related to suffering as your text suggests.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Ex should not have a say there.

Someone is practising the trolling with an AI text generator again?
- Comment on Was there a Cold War conflict where the Soviets funded the right-wingers and the Americans funded the communists? 3 weeks ago:
The world isn’t only about leftists and rightists.
Even your country wasn’t, most of the time. There are so many more ideas and interests and strategies and beliefs…
- Comment on Couldn't big-tech shut out non-monopoly laws by saying that it's meant to be like that on "their" product? 3 weeks ago:
laws; telling a maker to make the product in a specific way, eliminating creative freedom?
Do you think we need no laws at all anymore?
Well, every law limits somebody’s freedom, somehow. That’s nothing special at all.

The question wasn’t stupid enough, only the way of asking was…
- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 3 weeks ago:
Feels like there are tons of cultural differences involved. Maybe you are not aware of them?
Cultural differences are usually not changeable. I mean, you cannot change all people at once, obviously. Most times you cannot even change that one special person.
You can only be open to accept that one specific person as they are. And you need to talk about these things more, and much more explicitly, than about some other general topics.
Don’t know if this is helpful, but I must admit that I don’t know the Indian or Japanese cultures enough to really answer your questions.
- Comment on What would you do if your gym trainer is 5 minutes late? 3 weeks ago:
Assuming each time has cost you 15 minutes effectively, that makes a total of 45 min by now (1 hour after rounding).
Write a nice formal complaint letter to the company.
