  I know you wrote H and O, and not H2 and O2, but I’m going to assume the gas forms because those two substances pretty much cannot exist in their pure forms

  And for those, O2 is necessary for our life, and H2 is non-toxic, it’s just very flammable. So I don’t know if the comparison fully works

  Of course, you’re right if you mean pure H and pure O, but, again, they will immediately combine to form a new substance

  Frankly at this point self-diagnosis shouldn’t be as demonized as it is. Because getting a diagnosis is, 1. Expensive, 2. Involved as all hell sometimes, 3. Not all professionals being great, and 4. In certain countries cough the US cough, it gets you literally put on a list

  I say this as someone who is diagnosed. Just preface any statements you make with you not being professionally diagnosed and that you think you might likely have it and such, and you should be fine. Ultimately the point of the diagnosis is to help you. If you feel like the autistic framework is useful to understanding yourself, use it.

  Hell yeah. Being a slut is great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hit it and quit it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it is unironically a good question though. There’s no biological reason for why that can’t happen, and in fact, it would be more efficient! You’d be less exposed to predators etc

  The actual answer is, of course, that there are other reasons for why it’s a longer activity. Such as, for example, it being about social bonding

  I never can get anyone to give me a proper definition of processed food that doesn’t include obviously okay stuff like bread or yoghurt. As I wouldn’t call those foods prepared, they’ve been through multiple chemical and biological processes.

  Ultra processes foods is something that tends to be more appropriate I think. That’s stuff like chips or fast food. Though even that I consider fine to eat in moderation, and I, personally, do. Though I agree it would be better if I completely cut those out. I just tend to eat a lot of pre-made foods due to disability reasons (frozen pizzas, pastas, and the like)

  But yeah, I do know that the US has some very lax food laws unfortunately. So maybe that is a big part of the difference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The solution to many problems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this is you fighting phantoms. I highly doubt anyone would want to actively help someone die instead like, referring them to a psychologist or therapist or something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The solution to many problems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it still leaves store-bought bread out I guess. Or yoghurt. Or milk

  But nah, I really do think it’s extreme. Pre-made food isn’t bad for you

  Either that or I’m just being European, idk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's bad man⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And nobody forces you to have kids, you know? If anything that’s just saying to make sure to make choices that you will be happy with in your life

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's bad man⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As you grow you will keep appreciating the growing amounts of personal development

  Eventually you think back to when you were worried about turning 25 and you’ll think “why would I ever wanna be 25 again? I had so much less knowledge and experience back then”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A New Headache for Honest Students: Proving They Didn’t Use A.I.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Externalizing all of the difficult thinking to an LLM won’t exactly make you a skilled individual

  So, yeah, if you plan to go to uni to just use LLMs because it’s less challenging to you, then there indeed is no point

  But there’s never no point in actually learning those skills yourself. Just as there’s not no point in learning how arithmetics work, even though you can just use a calculator

  Lmaoo building the Bob Semple tank, now that’s something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The only way to be⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And herein lies the core of the issue of “business is a warzone/you need to be ruthless”

  It’s in the business’ best interest to treat their employees well

  If you have no allies, who are you left with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Onion be onioning again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but like, the water is just going to clean everything off. Especially turbulent water like a hot tub

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French culture⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, you’re right, I didn’t even think about it

  If I wrote “I love to read, I read an interesting book every day”, then the way you say the latter ‘read’ shifts from my original example, and it depends on context that comes later in the sentence

  Wack

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French culture⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “I love to read, I read an interesting book yesterday”

  Seriously, who came up with this shit 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know who The Rizzler is and Im not interested.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would that be a sign of wikipedia’s decline?

  Should they not document a famous figure? It doesn’t matter whether it’s ridiculous or not, value judgement is not an encyclopedia’s place to do

  What do you mean ruined?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Possession⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t read the books (yet), so I don’t know how closely it resembles the condition in reality, but crucially, it’s a real thing, it’s not a magical fantasy possesion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨God is a dick.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In other words, literal time travel

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Only older people from what I’ve seen. At least, whenever I hear a ping out in public, it’s always someone older

  So, to answer your question, no, not really

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kawaiiiiiii⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh 😭 lmaooo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kawaiiiiiii⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think vision would fall girly within the realms of physics. I don’t know if you can justifiably call it visual anymore when it incorporates magic

  It’s like, if there’s magic bow that launches arrows at a far greater rate than it normally would, would you say that the energy comes from the buildup and release of tension in the wood? There’s another element there, which enhances the thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kawaiiiiiii⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would fall under “nonvisual perception”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨logs are for quitters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Radioactivity I side your body is very bad bad

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨logs are for quitters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s good it didn’t, otherwise it’s possible that all the hydrogen in the ocean would be fused into helium by now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of CAPTCHA is this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lmao yeah, I thought “haha funny joke” but people were genuinely asking

  For future reference, never run any script or code or command unless you know what it is and does

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know about you, but I am very reluctant to insult others, even in private conversations, even if they might deserve it

  I always try to approach things constructively, because in the end, those patterns and thoughts bleed out into the world and your behaviour

  And do keep in mind, even from the person’s who was part of the asshole gang side of the story, it sounds pretty darn bad, and people have a tendency to downplay their side’s wrongdoings and elevate the other side’s. Chances are, it was probably quite bad

  If there’s people in my life that go around talking badly about other like that, even in private… yeah, I’d want to stay the hell away from them too. It’s just a massive warming sign, and you’re going to be the target sooner or later. And you don’t want a coordinated group acting in bad faith against you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mother⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, but I don’t think this was intentional suffocation of the kids. This seems much more as an attempt to get everyone to survive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's just eccentric⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet, despite people saying what you say, I still struggle far more than neurotypical people and they can’t understand why

  I am diagnosed with both, and do relate to social media posts regarding the combination of both

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe part of it is the whole “greatest country on earth” stuff as well. In other words, a lack of humility

  In the European countries I’ve lived in, pride like that wasn’t really encouraged. And if you’re too boastful or what not to the point of arrogance, you tend to get the stink eye

  And this applies to patriotism as well. Here in Norway for example, despite us having a stronger claim for stuff like “greatest country”, very few people, if any, really feel like being “proud” of one’s own country is something that one should be doing, or it being honorable at all. The best I see is that people enjoy living here and, if they see another Norwegian out there or Norway mentioned, they just get happy to see a fellow Norwegian, just because we are relatively small

  Honestly, most Norwegians I’ve met complain about Norway’s problems more often than not lmao, despite, all things considered, you can hardly find better countries to live in, except some other European ones depending on your own preferences

  There really is just, no culture of like, arrogance. Something that I feel like is very different to the US with its super heavy emphasis on individual capitalistic success

  Maybe that’s a large part of it as well. A consequence of American culture being so extremely individualistic
