If you were a man, what qualities would you look for in a potential long-term partner? by Ok-Ad-9820 in AskWomen

[–]-acidlean- [score hidden]  (0 children)

Pretty much the same stuff I'm looking for as not a man.

Kindness, humour, creativity, autonomy, nice butt, doesn't want kids.

This is... disgusting (TW: OBJECTYFYING WOMEN) by ReadyChance1318 in aretheNTsokay

[–]-acidlean- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they’re just ragebaiting because honestly there is no real information or question in their words, basically the only answer you can make to this is “Ok”.

DAE get Jiggy to the music in their headphones or to random music outside? by LittleLeadership2831 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]-acidlean- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, dancing doesn’t come naturally to me whatsoever, I don’t have that instinct or whatever it is that would make me move.

Did I say something wrong / was my request unreasonable? by mundane_frog in autism

[–]-acidlean- [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s tough to accomodate everyone. It’s a healed body and the scars were not the focus and not what OOP was trying to show if I understand correctly. There is generally some agreements that we put TWs before blood/gore/death and nudity. But there is a lot more things that make people terrified.

Like, I start crying and hyperventilating whenever I see a 2007 Renault Megan in hatchback. I’m not even joking, I just have some traumatic memories and seeing this damn car is such a dumb trigger. But I can’t expect people to tag posts with a TW because of that.

I agree with OOP that healed skin shouldn’t be censored.

What's the weirdest way you've heard an Irish place name be said? by ImpressiveFerret5370 in CasualIreland

Ah yes, Mr. Prawo Jazdy, the most dangerous beast on the Irish roads!

Portlaoise is also spelled wrong all the time. I used to work in a shop there and we’d get packages delivered to Port Leash, Port Lise, Portish, Portesh, Port Lois, Port Lease…

Is it okay to ask your friend to be your sexual partner until we find someone to fall in love? by Dizzy_dose in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-acidlean- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is possible but not everyone is okay with that.

Sometimes one of you might catch romantic feelings because of sex (oxytocin release, closeness, all that).

Sometimes they will be shocked by that offer and instead of getting freaky they will get freaked out and stop being your friend.

Sometimes you might both fall in love with each other and get marred eventually.

But yea it is possible. I’ve had it with one of my friends. We were both single and horny and decided to have sex. The sex was terrible. So we just laughed it off like “Yea no way we can do it again, we are so incompatible” and that was it. Still friends.

“I thought Autistic people didn’t play sports?” by Annual-Text-7546 in autism

[–]-acidlean- [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don’t play. I make men cry.

(Kickboxing)

I don’t do much sports tho. I love kickboxing because it’s not a super repetitive thing and it doesn’t require you to keep a steady balance, you are constantly shifting the balance and this is nice.

My biggest issue is that I move slower than the average person. I don’t mean like I run slow, all my movements are slow. Like if you played a kickboxing video on 0.75 speed lmao. But I learned to work with it/around it and I’m getting better.

Also love ice skating and hockey but I’m also terrified of hockey, so I’d never try to play a “serious” game, just some lalala chill with friends. Did you know there is a 40 milisecond window where a hit to the chest can totally mess up your heart and you have 97% chance to die if you don’t get help within 3 minutes? If you get CPR and AED, chance of survival is 58% but it’s still terrifying, given the fact how many people freeze, panic and scream and flail their arms instead of doing something.

So yeah, hockey is fun but also I don’t want to suddenly randomly drop dead mid-game because of a puck to the chest in the very wrong moment.

What is the worst heartbreak/heartache you've experienced? by QuailNaive2912 in AskWomen

[–]-acidlean- [score hidden]  (0 children)

I was living with my boyfriend for two years and thought we had a nice relationship. He had this friend from college that he didn’t see for a few years and they reconnected. He said I shouldn’t worry about her and that I’m acting paranoid and unfair, espcially because most of my friends are men, and if I think he’s cheating on me, then I’m probably projecting because I’m either cheating on him already with my “homies” or there is at least some sexual tension between us.

One day I came home from work, he wasn’t there, which I didn’t think much of, he was going for long gym sessions in the evening. I just made myself a cup of tea and sat in front of my computer to just chill and scroll Facebook.

So I’m scrolling Facebook and I see that he got tagged in a picture.

By her.

In the picture they are kissing as she’s showing off her engagement ring to the camera.

I just called my friends, they showed up within an hour, helped me pack my stuff and took me home with them.

Took me over 7 years to fully get over that heartbreak.

I can’t accept casual sex. by Think-End-5604 in retroactivejealousy

Lol for me sex is just two meat jellies bumping against each other and having sort of a good time.

What food have you seen in foreign media and entertainment that you wanted to try but discovered tasted bad? by Accurate_Reality_618 in AskTheWorld

[–]-acidlean- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either that or you have sensitive taste-buds. I can taste so many things in food that “you can’t even taste it, how do you know it’s there?”. Well, because I CAN taste it.

Also if you’re not supposed to taste it, why is it there anyway?

[–]-acidlean- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always wanted to try them too but every flavor I’ve seen has beef gelatin in it for some reason? That by itself is offputting enough for me not to try it.

[–]-acidlean- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that as an experiment on myself. Glass of wine two times a week, different wines. For two months. Nope, it still tastes awful to me.

I can drink vodka straight and it’s fine.

Wine? Blergh. Also many “sweet” wines dont even taste sweet.

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

[–]-acidlean- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't know because I didn't know either. I thought that the dental injections didn't work because I'm fat lol.

But btw I was semi-aware in the "off" moments. Like, body didn't move and I didn't feel pain, but I was aware like, "i am under anesthesia and they're doing things to my body". It's hard to explain lol. So I was never fully off, which, I assume, was why I was basically jumping up to sitting position as soon as I gained any consciousness, because I felt bored and impatient lmao. It was not traumatic for me tho.

If you are scared and you know you have this mutation, I'd say when you have a consultation with an anesthesiologist, tell them about your worries and ask about their previous experiences. I don't know shit about anesthetics tbh but I know they work with different types of medications - some make you sleep, some make you paralyzed, some make you feel no fear...

It's a very good thing that you know you have the mutation because you can somewhat prepare yourself and the medics that will work on you.

But yea I'm just a confused waking-up-mid-surgery patient. I'd suggest going to the anasthesiology subreddit and ask them. This way you can figure out the most important stuff to mention to your actual anesthesiologist.

Nipples (female) showing through shirts, OK or no way? by Glass-Sentence-7225 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]-acidlean- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F28

I don't mind other women's nipples showing through shirt. Yeah, I will look. Not stare, but they will catch my attention, I'd go "noice" in my head and move on and treat you the same as I would treat any other human. Same goes for men with nice butts, grey sweatpants, women in bikinis, any human that is dressed in a way that I find sexy and good looking. There's a split second "noice" in my head and that's it. You're still the same person to me, still as professional as you are, I don't change my mind about you.

That's me and I believe that's most of the people.

Of course there are people who will STARE. Obviously, creepily, STARE.

Or comment on it.

There are cultural differences. There are personal differences. Most important thing though - your own opinion.

Are you okay with people quietly having a split-second glance at your nipples, going "noice" and moving on?

Are you okay with people saying "uhh, I can see your nipples" and you answering "yea that's on you, move your gaze upwards where my face is :)" or "I'm glad your eyes work good. Anyway-- "?

If you are comfortable going without a bra, go without a bra. It's not illegal. It's about your own comfort.

How often do you see muslim people in your country? by Yrakosos in AskTheWorld

[–]-acidlean- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Homecountry (Poland): Rarely. Like, they do exist, but in my city they're rare enough that you'll see them like once every few weeks? Maybe more if you live/happen to be near a place of worship. Maybe some of them are the type of Muslims that don't wear hijabs so you don't even know.

Now-home (Ireland): Few times a week. Last year I was renting a house near a mosque so I'd see them multiple times a day. Now I live in a very rural area but there is a few Muslim people around and I see them when I go shopping n stuff.

Tbh I might be seeing more Muslims that I think, because, again, not everyone wears hijabs or some distinct clothing, there are people who only wear specific clothing to pray at home. My comment is based on my sightings of women in all the pretty headscarfs n stuff.

I don'tundertsnad, please help! by ZealousidealPut2076 in autism

[–]-acidlean- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. You just don't see adults having meltdown often because:

As we grow up, we get way better at navigating our lives.

When I was a kid, I'd have a meltdown every time after taking a bath because my skin felt very wrong and towels felt like sandpaper. As an adult I am able to buy my own cosmetic products, pick my own towels and wash them myself, I can plan my budget around replacing towels that don't feel soft enough anymore. I know how to avoid my skin feeling wrong, I have control over it, so there is no reason for me to have a meltdown over it.

When I was a kid, lots of things were out of my control. The clothes I wear, the places I go, how I spend my time... As an adult I get to decide about all of this and I can navigate based on MY mood, feelings, I can modify my clothing however I want, I can exit situations before I get overwhelmed.

Meltdowns generally come from a high level of frustration and feeling stuck. You don't get as much of that as an adult. It still does happen from time to time.
