  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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Don’t fucking grab, sniff, tickle, or seductively eye the other person. Just don’t. Grow up.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. If it involves sex, and you’re in public, don’t talk about it. That’s creepy.

  7. 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.

  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 ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨days⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  Why? Because fuck you, that’s why.

• ⁨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).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entering hyperspace⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does really hot weather seem to cause it?

  Do you seem to eat less salt than other people?

  Do you have persistently low blood pressure but a heart rate that is easy to spike?

  If you stretch just right will it happen?

  I don’t want to just say “go see a doctor” but having collapsed at very bad opportunities, it is not worth finding out until it’s too late that you have to make some lifestyle changes to function.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entering hyperspace⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to point out that Orthostatic Hypotension is normal to some degree.

  If you experience it changing positions while sitting, or notice exercise and heat intolerance, talk to a doctor. In the short term drink enough fluids and get a bunch of sodium and potassium in you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entering hyperspace⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  POTS?

  I actually had to start taking salt pills. I still greyout, but I don’t lose muscle strength anymore.

  What’s crazy is that some of the people I talk to, I expected to say something like “yeah, but he didn’t get a trial.”

  It’s been “yeah, he’s been on trial for 3 years at UHC, and 20 before that. And he was declared guilty.”

  Oh that would be a neat challenge.

  AI security guards (which I can only imagine look like Daleks from Dr Who) vs the public. How long before they just outright massacre a crowd?

  Or, better yet, what happens when people start using drones as flying pipe bombs and the robots can’t even aim at it.

  Ooooh or better yet, we can create devices that create a distraction for the AI robots.

  Or, since I am pretty sure they’d be using some wireless connection of some sort, bring a signal jammer and just push em over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what you were doing to end up in enough jails to know that, but I suspect that if there’s additional knowledge here, it’s that we should probably not do whatever that was

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Funny how uniting this is somehow⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure NBC, and ABC news, as well as several articles, have mentioned the similarity to the book title. Plus, deny, defend, depose has a VERY different statement.

  “Deny claims, defend legally, remove from power.” The insurance companies deny the claims, know they can avoid court because the insured can’t possibly afford lawyers when they get buried under medical debt, and the last one has multiple purposes. Remove the power of medical professionals in their care expertise, remove the power of the patient’s voice, and remove the insurance companies and executives from having this power.

  However, I acknowledge that the media shills for the owner class, and I see where the suspension that they would change the words to fit that agenda is very possible. Unfortunately, without seeing the bullets, we have no way to verify what the actual words are. The only way we get that is from NYPD’s evidence storage which would need a criminal case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's reaction⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that he represented the hoarding dragons. The dragons believe they can keep affording these lesser beings to take the blame for their wealth.

  He took measures that made things actively worse for the insured to make him and the owners wealthier.

  You can’t just skip to the boss fight. You gotta carve a path.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So here’s something wild I learned.

  To Canadians, when I speak French, I have a very thick American accent. However, when I speak English to Canadians, they really can’t tell my accent (presumably because I live in a bordering state?).

  I always respect anyone who knows just enough English to communicate something simple/frequent. Because there is no fucking way they’d understand what I was trying to say in their language.
