I got forced into getting rid of loads of stuff when I ended up homeless and sofa surfing for a while. When I got my own place again I really like not having heaps of junk ill never use and have tried to keep my home minimal since. Obviously I have stuff, but I try to really think about what I 1) buy, do I really need or want it, and 2) keep.
Congrats on the job, sounds fun!
Watchy, it was a pain to get started as I ended up with a v2 and the docs only apply for the v3 but I figured it out in the end
Made a webcam, programmed an e ink wrist watch to make it look sexy (notosans), and about to finish the last novel in le guins hainish cycle
Danced? Jesus this feels like an overachievement to me 😅 not even joking, I feel so fucking uncomfortable dancing in public
Its sire levels of humour here
As a brit id say blimey they got it spot on
I used to. It was curable via exposure for me. Had to do it at work a lot and just got used to it.
Lol, yes, it can feel like everyone has it sometimes as you just always seem to find each other without trying.
It used to be ‘chelmsford average’ when I was a kid
From working in a youth centre, it seems like sterotypes arent as big a thing as they used to be and have all kind of blended together. The only term I ever hear along those kind of lines is road man which the kids use as a general term for anyone who breaks the law or is in a gang (im in london, the definitions could probably alter slightly outside of the city). Nowadays they seem to find identity and categorisation in their sexual orientation, skin colour or cultural heritage, and nuerodivergence instead of stereotypes.
I dont even personify people. Headline made me laugh though
Speak to them about putting the rent up just enough to pay for a cleaner to come in once or twice a week? I used to rent out rooms and it was an unpleasant situation for me too
Thats a joke right? fighting urge to answer this literally in case of a woosh
There is research into moderate protein and reduced gluten and casein diets to help with autism by universities and autism organisations. Googling autism diet protein or autism diet gluten should bring a couple of those up. But this seems to be a well rounded compilation of the ones ive seen:
Protein. Your brain has to work harder than most peoples and protein is good at repairing the tissue. I ate a lot of meat but its expensive now so lots of eggs, beans and chickpeas in my diet, and tinned fish, but you can get plenty of protein without meat
As someone else suggested, I do also reccommend exercise, as counter intuitive as it may seem. What hours are you working? Morning shifts can be a bit harder to recover from if you dont find some way to get yourself out of the slump. I used to give myself an hour in front of the tv back when I worked mornings, then force myself to do some housework which would often jolt me back to life by breaking up the day. When I work later shifts, I try to claim as much of my morning for myself as I can, be it chores or exercise, so when I get home, if I have energy left for hobbies then that is a bonus, but I stay strict on my bedtimes so I can keep getting the mornings
Gave me a chuckle. Tried to go out in Soho, London the other night with a friend - locals will know. It was horrible.
I do, yes. Not with everything, but particularly around things like emotional support, I’ve always evaded. It used to bring on a flood of very overwhelming emotion that I suppose I wasn’t in touch with until someone pointed out to me: “this is bad, are you sure you’re okay?”
I just wanted to do subscript markdown, I didnt know what else to write
