Beans, stock photos, stroganoff. Jeans.
It’s a thing that happens on occasion and we don’t know why.

Yeah. I luckily got the good kind of autism where everyone calls me a genius (which anyone with above average intelligence can tell you geniusness isn’t a thing). But drives women away pretty quickly due to a “Mysterious Unlikeable Trait.”

Man we’re autistic here I need all the help I can get

I mean clearly. We scheduled time to talk the following day too. She wanted a text as soon as I got up.
Bam. Nothing. Something happened in the ~8 hours we didn’t talk that changed all that. I don’t know what. I will never know what.

What about someone who spent 6 hours forming a strong connection with you then you literally never hear from them again?

That’s… Wait. That’s the whole premise of all the games dammit.

I had to look it up because I didn’t believe y’all.
$755 for 64GB DDR5.
I thought I had DDR5 but I guess it’s just DDR4 according to my motherboard.
Mother fucker. I could have gotten it for $200 a year ago. I’m at the point where I suggest we start taking ahem excessive action against AI companies.

That seems to be my experience so that’s handy.
Doesn’t exactly help me much though.

- Comment on its a psyop, isn't it? 3 weeks ago:
I want to add that some people are completely unaware that they are being creepy. Others are entirely aware, and I don’t understand how they dont realize they’re gonna get got one day.
You are a creep if:
-
You like to get closer than you realistically should. Ask to close the distance if you were originally sitting apart, then let the other person get comfortable. If they adjust their distance, don’t get any fucking closer than that.
-
There are a lot of things you might want to say sober, but don’t. Probably a good idea to pay attention to these things if you have liquor in your system and notice when you no longer have control over that. If you don’t notice, maybe it’s better not to drink and rethink your life.
-
Don’t fucking grab, sniff, tickle, or seductively eye the other person. Just don’t. Grow up.
-
Don’t go diving through their social media like you need to learn all about them before you meet. Chances are they know exactly what is public, and they intend that public information to be a different person than they really are.
-
If you don’t know something about them, ask. If they don’t give you an answer, stop fucking asking. God. They don’t want to tell you.
-
If it involves sex, and you’re in public, don’t talk about it. That’s creepy.
-
If you ever receive a inconclusive answer, that’s a hint to back the fuck off that discussion.
There’s too much to list, but those are like a bunch I’ve seen.

Nobody posted it!?
- Comment on its a psyop, isn't it? 3 weeks ago:
I used to think it was because I’m too ugly to be attractive to the women I find attractive.
Then I discovered I don’t really even try with women I find physically attractive because it’s relatively small on my attraction plate. If I find a woman who has intellect and the ability to talk on that trait, and a desire to learn with a bit of that physical goodness, hot damn with I put the effort in.
Worst case scenario I get rejected. Back to square one. Next one isn’t even that bad: I end up with a good friend, which is one more link to hopefully find someone who foots the bill.
That being said having a lengthy dry spell probably isn’t healthy, but I’ve managed it so far.
- Comment on Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits 3 weeks ago:
I would happily have more babies as children are fun.
Unfortunately that requires a partner who values intelligence, child development, learning and desires children. When I find such a unicorn I’ll make as many babies as I can reasonably raise (probably like 2 or three more maximum)
- Comment on Roblox to block children from talking to adult strangers after string of lawsuits 3 weeks ago:
See, what I figured out is that I don’t have to let my son play Roblox. Sure, he might be the “weird” one who’s dad doesn’t let him. But he was going to be “weird” anyway. That’s just how our lives work.
Plus you have AuADHD, having it myself, it makes you vulnerable to predators in ways you can’t understand yet.
- Comment on Guaranteed to save you money 3 weeks ago:
Possibly hot take.
Might actually be the time to do it. If the Heritage Foundation gets their way, violence is coming. You need to know who you can trust. Many former moderate/conservatives are waking up. They just need some encouragement.
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 3 weeks ago:
See there’s a problem here. My philosophy is that she gets off. No matter how hard I work at it. However I can’t just go up and tell women this.
I thought I couldn’t date hot women because of my appearance. So they’d never find out my philosophy.
It actually turns out I can’t date hot women, especially hot women like this, because hot and intelligent are uncorrelated (not positively or negatively, just no correlation). This woman, in particular (assuming that’s his wife) is physically attractive, but given her choice of partner, is clearly unable to think. Why the fuck would I be sexually attracted to someone who can’t think.
Which explains why I don’t even bother following up. The slightest hint of stupid makes them unattractive. So it’s not my appearance, is it. It’s something else that’s wrong with me.

- Comment on Entering hyperspace 2 months ago:
Actually that’s a really good post. I didn’t know that salt without potassium would make you sick, as the products I used always had an amount of potassium in them.
And listening to our bodies shouldn’t be that hard, but here we are lol
- Comment on Entering hyperspace 2 months ago:
I was in a miserable puddle of sensory overload. 15 years after the test I started learning that yeah I’m probably ASD, and there’s a strange correlation with ASD and POTS. Neuron magic.
And no problem with that yeah.
- Comment on Entering hyperspace 2 months ago:
The sweat test was awful. You basically wear your underwear, lie down in what amounts to a glass oven, then they spread sand all over your and you sit still for an hour and bake. Then they take a picture at the end.
And purple means sweat, yellow means no sweat. It shows what sweat glands activated by the autonomic nervous system. Then you have to shower it off and it takes forever.
They were very professional about it though, it was a nurse, a doc, and technician. I guess they were doing multiple tests at the same time, but I never saw other people doing it. Which was a relief I didn’t really want to see other purple people
- Comment on Entering hyperspace 2 months ago:
It does help me keep volume, definitely. I found ones called “vitassium”. They have 500mg of sodium, 100mg of potassium per pill. That seems to work ok with 3L, so it should help reduce your intake.
It’s kind of weird to think about though. All my life I had to listen to my family having too high blood pressure so I got used to not eating salt.
Well that backfired.
- Comment on Entering hyperspace 2 months ago:
Well, bro, I got some bad news on that front.
I’ve been to two of the best hospitals in the world (not on purpose, just coincidentally and they wanted to check it out in their specialty clinics) and went through some unpleasant testing (one is called a thermoregulation sweat test that they cover you in color changing sand), and that’s the exact same thing I have to do.
I take 4 salt pills, drink 3 liters of water, Gatorade or Pedialyte and a beta blocker. I do cardio. The one thing I am starting to get better at now is lower body strength - my legs are pretty dinky and along with increased blood volume, bigger leg muscles can help ease the symptoms.
The beta blocker thing I got unlucky with though, there’s a few of them that are better for pots but I can’t metabolize them (or maybe I rapidly metabolize them so they don’t work at all, I cant remember).
