i mean i got angrier and angrier watching the video and imagining this happening, not that i get angry over the little things partner does for us while i'm away
it's just too many things and i get angrier and angrier with each successive thing "you've done so much since i was last here!!!" she says!
every time i go away my partner does something i would be upset and confused about like move the couch or get a bigger TV because that way I tend to just go "oh you moved the couch while i was away" This would kill me I would not survive this.
what i remember about that comic is him talking about finding out how hard and annoying it is to clean a ball pit... maybe that was in a later interview and not the comic or alt text

I had a United Federation of Planets flag in my home for years until we moved because I'm an intergalactic socialist
if i hurt myself would they put me on the same ward with him so he could do this? it's so nonsensical
he said he would do it if we could stay with him, if someone could stay overnight with him in the ward. The hospital said that's not allowed, even if it's the only way he'll do it. Tell me again how Autistic people are the rigid inflexible ones.
Louis takes great care of his cats and I won't hear a word said against him
ha ha ha yes Wherever you post, your smugness is hosted on a amazon-owned server, dude
and a website wish list means people who have money but not time can buy you stuff without having to go to the store and then go to where you are with the thing they bought especially when you get donations from people who don't live nearby
i listened to a Billie Eilish song with headphones for the first time the other evening and jeeze i don't know who her producer is but she needs a new one immediately then again maybe it's only meant to sound good on a phone speaker
that smile when she realized she was gonna get away with it
my friend was fluent in German and English but they wouldn't let her work as a to-German translator because it wasn't her mother tongue, so they got her to proofread extremely badly translated to English texts, which often didn't even make sense. This took longer. It's like that
oh no! even more unethical porn sites 😭
and socialists went to the concentration camps they only hate the scapegoats as a convenient placeholder and proxy for hating the rest of us
I don't know what the German socialists did when the Nazis got elected but if they said "ok let's be more anti-Semitic" then fuck those guys
Idea: one magnet in the boob and one magnet in the baby’s head. Make it easier for him to ‘latch on’
i mean every GOOD thing i can think of from it i can think of loads of shite from it that has no crossover is my point and i left out that crucial word
every thing i can think of from evo-psych isn't thanks to evo-psych at all it's inferring something about us from mammals or birds Like my mobile phone is a supernormal stimulus, like a big egg We have a fight/flight/freeze response like a deer or any other mammal.. because we're all mammals
jfc man this is worse than cheating on your partner (i've been cheated on. .but not as a spouse and parent so i reserve the right to find out i'm wrong later in life)
a mí también me parece
*in case they don't ask
I know from talking to people in oncology and palliative care that sometimes we pressure our loved ones to "fight" when it might not objectively be the best choice I promise this isn't one of those situations, we're trying very hard not to pressure and it's definitely the best/least painful choice
I have to tell all of you one thing he said which broke my heart "will you forgive me if I don't do it?" No matter how little pressure you're putting on someone to take care of themselves, make sure they know there's nothing to forgive in case they don't as this. I'm so glad he asked
lovely! Thank you! 😊
it's hard to think of ill that has come out of the internet that didn't actually come out of social media.. is there some?
thanks so much 💚
Oh this looks great, thank you! The wooded area in the photo, can you go to those trees and walk around or are they private property?
the Christian Right wouldn't even be allowed to dance if it wasn't for us www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...
surely a bookshop is the ideal tenant 🥲 fingers crossed
Anybody know a forest in Ireland you can stay in a hotel or hut in or near that isn't as expensive as center parc? I don't need to pay for a heated pool I just want to look at squirrels #speirghorm #ireland
a trick i use is that an actual slippery slope is made up of bad things that get successively worse, following a clear path Accepting something bad against your better judgement is always genuinely a slippery slopes Every time you hear "greater good" or "ends justify means", prepare to protest.
I was really excited to see Blue Jays trending but it wasn't what I thought. I got to see one of these guys for the first time this year:
great, eugenics duck duck goose
Yes, I see now that "tap to click" is an option that is toggled on by default (Unity) what else do i not know I don't know *checks to see if screen is touch sensitive*
it's got buttons above and below that you can use for clicking, that's what I'd been doing. But it turns out a tap works.. then trackpacks without those buttons you can press down the whole pad and it acts like a button, but you can also use this gentle tap... mind blown
may I be entitled to compensation?
I've had this laptop nearly 10 years and I'm just finding out you can click by tapping on the trackpad
they'll say that the dems are trying to force cis people to transition in order to reduce mass shootings
thanks very much and thank you for being understanding of both of us. it's very hard
Antibiotics. He heard they were being over-prescribed. By the time he realized he wanted and needed to take them it was too late and the infection killed him Autonomy is one of my top values, I never try to persuade anyone to do anything, but there won't be any time for him when he changes his mind
I feel very sick thinking about this. His dad died completely unnecessarily because he refused treatment. He was the one trying to convince his dad to accept treatment
i'm actually just going to mute you for saying I said that we are impaired. I can't deal with this right now. I'm sure i'll come back and read what you have to say at some point if you have more to say, but I can do without having abelism put in my mouth when I'm trying to get help
Every time we even mention the word he shuts down and gets angry. He is dying by suicide in front of us, he is getting visibly thinner and sicker by the week and his pain is increasing and the more pain he is in the less he wants to talk about doing something about the pain
You are making assumptions. of course i have asked him. of course i have been respectful. I know you've been treated bad by allistics, we all have, but I am not one of them.
i'm not allistic.
you don't get it. you've completely misunderstood. at no point did i think or say he was impaired. I have PDA too.
also not my business! not just literal business, as i am not a doctor, but also not my beeswax
not a doctor! i don't know things!
I'm not a doctor and I'm definitely not a doctor or a person who knows things or a doctor, but just if it was me, because there are side effects and also other potential side effects, I would stick with lower doses as long as lower doses were working. not advice just like hey here is an option maybe
and because i do want to persuade him, the PDA comes up strong and it's as good as it being physically impossible for him to converse about it once that happens
I guess i want the conversation to result in him deciding to do this thing for himself rather than choosing pain and death, because that's what he's choosing and he doesn't want to think about it. And that's guaranteed, that's not just me worrying
I know I can't force him, I just want to have the conversation, and he starts moving towards meltdown when we try to talk about it with him. Got experience? If it was you, what do you think would help? #olderautistic There's so little research on what ND are like and what helps us as we get older
hello #actuallyautistic folks What do you do when because of PDA and maybe fear an elderly loved one is refusing medical care that would vastly improve their quality of life immediately, reduce and then eliminate their physical pain, and extend their life. 1/2
they'll probably try to kill him with large amounts of red dye, small amounts of fluoride or homeopathic-worthy amounts of mercury
oh no no no no no no no no no

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
it looks like something TV satanists would draw on the floor to torture you on top of
yeah sometimes youtube sends me videos from classically trains musicians technically dissecting pop songs and it is such a joy even though I literally still have nightmares about trying to understand the fucking circle of fifths
Thank you for the warning. I will read it another day.
how dare you
Yes I found a story! William Melchert-Dinkel was the nurse! Licensed therapists have been successfully sued for even failing to prevent suicides
Acting similarly to a therapist but then telling someone to kill themselves, this is murder. Wasn't there a nurse who talked people into killing themselves online and was convicted of murder?
there have been articles about this for a year and they haven't corrected the problem. I think this is the first person who has been killed by ChatGPT that we know of but it is NOT The first person who was told to end their lives.
You know how I’ve been talking about how if you release mass-market consumer technology, you do in fact bear a lot of ethical (and SHOULD bear legal) responsibility for the horrible things that happen to people who use it?

here's an idea, Israel. They are journalists. You can contact them. They are journalists. They're contactable. Tell them what you'll do to to the hospital and the doctors and journalists and patients and children in the hospital if they don't destroy the camera. Be a bully instead of a murderer
Anyone yelling they won't vote have their own dumbass reasons Anyone trying to convince you not to vote has malicious reasons
talked to partner about this and he said I used to mostly just be angry or sad all the time, not how I experienced it coz there was intermittent joy. It must have been so hard on him. I asked him why he had stayed with me and he said because he loved me and he saw the person and not the illness.
Why get Stephen Fry to read audibooks he hasn't written. He always sounds like he has loads and loads and loads of saliva collected in his mouth and you can hear it sloshing around and making that paint roller being rolled in paint sound. And he reads everything like it's a children's book #booksky
interesting! thank you it's been there for quite a while now
he's having IVs, that's been clear but of what or of whose blood
reading my online presence before I had medication and my god i was so passionate about literally everything people said i was an "opinionated" kid but now i see that's all 1. stimulation seeking 2. a regular, mild opinion, just with the emotions turned up 5 notches because all my emotions were
I rest my case!
wait... how many games named football are there.. suddenly i'm thinking it can't just be the three i know
oh, that football! i thought it was one of the other two
i love it when they get a goal and they all cuddle and run their fingers through each others hair
it's so easy to compliment Trump. he is very active for a man of such advanced years sometimes he's very funny Dude has an excellent lean. If he stood still long enough tourists would take forced perspective photos where they are holding him up
sexiest TV dr for my mom:
an ad hoc evolutionary psychology explanation might be that this is because the attractive older man is like Dr. Ross whereas the attractive younger man is like Dr. Carter
am I in favour of RT being censored? I don't even know. It seems so impotent when people are getting their misinfo from tiktok and other social media, not state news sites. Maybe blocking RT in 2010 would have impacted someone
I am basically in favour of the EU censoring RT but I'm annoyed that instead of it saying "this site is blocked" like it does when I visited imbd (not imdb) in Turkey, it says "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site." I don't know if I agree with the secrecy
not the politicians, no. Nor the oligarchs. But the people are human and their media is saying that there's a genocide being perpetrated in Gaza www.rt.com/shows/crosst...
I'm always really interested in knowing what spin is put on stuff I know Putin never cared about Palestine, it was just a way to get a dig in at the US
I wonder how the Russians I've met who do like Putin, and there are some, feel about him going from talking about the genocide happening in Palestine to being pals with the person currently funding the genocide, and not twisting his arm about it at all. What's the official explanation of that?

well you do live in one of the only countries where teachers aren't relatively well paid, so are we talking about teachers and teaching or are we talking about US teachers and teaching in the US?
Man says everything would be fine if marginalized people would just stop complaining
all 4 of them for 20 dollars!? I feel like not buying them is losing money!
There's a scheme where for every million Ireland spent building a motorway, a percentage of that had to go to public art decorating the motorway. Some art had to be moved for being so engaging it caused accidents, so artists tried to create things you could enjoy out of the corner of your eye.

sharing food is an act of love though: we've been feeding people we love since love evolved. It's among the first acts of care we receive after we are born She is not asking you for a fry, she is asking you to love her.
i could go back and re-punctuate that but i'm being authentic
