- Comment on So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it? 22 hours ago:
I know it’s hard, I also have lots of experience getting over fears. I was myself extremely socially afraid and afraid of all kinds of things in a less severe manner.
I have an Singaporean girlfriend right now who is similar, who I’m helping through it as well.
Believe me, I know the struggle. It’s so unbelievably hard to do things you’re afraid of and the main problem is that it all happens inside your head. All the effort you’re putting in is basically invisible to an outsider. They might push you because they don’t see how much you’re already doing, which just makes it worse because you start feeling like you should be doing more, and then on top of feeling afraid you also feel like shit because you do “so little”, which is not little at all.
You can do it, I believe in you :D if you want any more words, I’m here, I don’t wanna ramble on and on lol

The separation anxiety doesn’t go away if you don’t separate sometimes.

🤣👍
- Comment on Why do people hate AI so much? 2 days ago:
I didn’t even make any argument for or against AI, just an argument regarding your behavior.
- Comment on Why do people hate AI so much? 3 days ago:
This clearly shows that you are willing to talk out of your ass. The early Internet was filled with some of the smartest people alive, the mass of shitty content did not arrive yet because it wasn’t accessible to the masses. At the beginning, the Internet was literally only scientists. A little later, it was only very open people not scared to try something new and excited about the future and about foreign cultures, with corresponding amazing content.
Only after this initial period, when the internet became commonly used, did it turn shit. Stop trying to manifacture arguments for your position and truly do what you acted like setting out to do, understand other people’s concerns.

I can’t be disappointed when I didn’t have any expectations
- Comment on I am only now discovering the sheer addictiveness of Sid Meier's Civilization. 1 week ago:
I helped develop Unciv.
Have fun.
- Comment on Anon introduces himself 1 week ago:
So as soon as you learn to talk, you can handle every social situation adequately? That’s news to me.
You may not understand this particular issue, because you never had trouble introducing yourself publicly. But you probably struggled at something else, and don’t you think training would (or did) help you there?
- Comment on Anon introduces himself 1 week ago:
How do you know how old anon is?
- Comment on Anon introduces himself 1 week ago:
Of course. But as the first thing overall with no prior training about it at all? No coaching about examples on what to say, no advice about your choices before the real thing?
- Comment on Anon introduces himself 1 week ago:
It’s not training though, you get thrown into the real thing immediately that decides the rest of your social time at school.
If you were encouraged and made to practice in private before, then I would agree with you.

- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 5 weeks ago:
Then you should start with that :D
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 5 weeks ago:
Did you see any mention in my comment of pretending it is healthy?
Do you think voicing disgust is going to help them?
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 5 weeks ago:
Let them do their thing, you don’t have to publicly state your disgust. Just block and move on if you don’t want to see it.
- Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with? 1 month ago:
Why do you care so much what other people say? Have you ever noticed this smell yourself?
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 1 month ago:
Well, usually if people call something “ridiculous” they mean that it’s so bad that it’s funny, i.e. not worth considering.
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 1 month ago:
You’re missing the point completely.
You do not actually know if “paradoxical consequences” are a thing. Logic might, like everything we believe right now, turn out not to be true.
Stopping yourself from doing an experiment because “current knowledge makes it seem impossible” is how science never advances.
- Comment on The man who drove his car into 100 people should be able to drive again, Judge rules. 1 month ago:
At least in my country, no one can know about your criminal record, so it’s not a disadvantage. And it shouldn’t be.
- Comment on The man who drove his car into 100 people should be able to drive again, Judge rules. 1 month ago:
I wouldn’t quite agree. Sure, a car can be used as a weapon, but that’s not its primary function. I’m not aware of the exact case, but if prison rehabilitated him in a way that he no longer uses a car as a weapon, I really see no reason why he shouldn’t get a driving license. Unfortunate as it may be, not being able to have a car is a severe disadvantage in a lot of areas.
I would agree with you if it was about a gun license. Having a gun is only useful as a weapon.
- Comment on The man who drove his car into 100 people should be able to drive again, Judge rules. 1 month ago:
I mean to be fair, that’s how prison is supposed to work. Rehabilitate the person so after, they’re fit to become a normal member of society again.
Of course, that’s only the theory of a few enlightened people…
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Play theater, start a software business, be a twitch streamer/youtuber, psychoanalyze my trauma, go scuba diving, have lots of sex, help people around me, craft decorations for my apartment, play lots of different video games, learn the piano, throw a really big party… Obviously not all at the same time, but this is still just an excerpt, it just feels like there’s just so much to do you can’t run out
The best part about all of this were the people you meet while doing these things, especially as a socially incredibly anxious person like me. Not all people are amazing, but I got to find some of them, restoring my faith and building an amazing set of friends.
- Comment on Does the first-born child in a family "mature" faster than the later-born children? 1 month ago:
Sounds like you get a lot of help to do lots of things instead of being taught how to do it yourself. Naturally, you’re going to feel like “I get things done for me, that must mean I’m inadequate to do them by myself”, and this feeling causes you to be able to do less, feeling more inadequate, thus increasing the things done for you, thus making you feel more inadequate…
Basically it sounds to me like you’re perfectly able to do it “by yourself” if you actually had to. It’s “just” the fear holding you back.
That was kind of a semi related thing. About the orientation towards your parents: if your parents are loving, and you’re autistic in some sense, then it is very likely you have little, if any, friends and definitely don’t feel loved by anyone else. Rather you feel “different”, not fitting in, like people don’t want to build deep relationships with you. Where else are you going to get that feeling from then, apart from your parents? Of course you’re going to gravitate towards them.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Just do something you haven’t done before, even if you’re not or just barely interested in it. But most of the time, we all have things we always wanted to do but a plethora of things stopped us from doing it: stigma, fear, lazyness, whatever.
Just go do it, even if you think it’ll suck. Almost guaranteed, it will not suck. Very likely, you’ll find something you love doing.
- Comment on Do you think my games should have optional calls to assembly functions for certain CPUs and GPUs if possible. 1 month ago:
“have optional calls” is not really how this works.
If you’re in an interpreted language, like python, java, c#, you don’t have to do anything, because they compile for the architecture they’re running on already, i.e. using whatever CPU features are available.
If you have a compiled language, and your users compile themselves, then they are choosing which CPU features to use, so you don’t have to do anything. If you distribute pre-built binaries, then you simply have to compile it once for each architecture you want to support, and distribute the correct binary to each user (usually done with an installer).
For graphics, your graphics API also already takes care of using system-specific instructions, and shaders are compiled by it before/while running also using system-specific instructions.
So there’s really no “optional” path that you have to specifically put into your program, so nothing like
Func work() If isArm then doArmStuff() Else if isZen4 then doZen4Stuff() ... End
- Comment on How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times? 1 month ago:
Well, see, you’re kind of answering your own question. The way to “fight” doomerism is to just look at the objective truth of the situation, instead of thinking about the worst possible scenarios possible.
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
He literally just told you in this video that he isn’t xD you should believe people when they tell you that
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
That’s actually exactly what he’s saying. He just can’t say it directly because it would impact his popularity.
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
You can quite obviously hear him say that he’s a terrible person for the job.
He’s an entertainer, he needs to be popular with his audience, and thus he needs to disguise negative feedback with humor.
If you speak plainly, he said to the guy wanting him to run for president “you barely know me, you just heard like 5 sentences you like and you’re already wanting me for president. That’s totally stupid, but it’s understandable because these 5 sentences are already better than anything you heard from Trump. I’m not even a good candidate and you’d still take me just so you don’t have to have Trump. So no, please actually try to elect someone that’d be good at the job, don’t force me to do who would suck. Look at what I’m doing now, I can’t even plainly tell you what I think, my desire for approval is so high. Be happy that I only use my charm for random humoric nonsense, if I’d use my charm for personal gain I’d basically be Trump, he also was mainly an entertainer.”
So yeah, while he doesn’t answer it, he does his best of trying to answer it based on the constraints that his person is being placed under.
- Comment on Nurses describe escalating tension as New YOrk City strike continues 1 month ago:
I didn’t know nurses in the US get up to $160k per year with 120k being the norm. In Germany, the maximum is 48k€. I know it’s not really comparable because of living costs and other factors but still, I didn’t know it was literally 3 times as much.
