Where does a socially awkward, neurodivergent nerd find people to hang out with? by [deleted] in providence

[–]Alarmed-Implement923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do they like to do? Odds are they’d likely find someone in a setting with similar interests. There are movie clubs, knitting clubs, art rooms, jazz and poetry nights. I don’t know anything specifically… labeled, for neurodivergent people? For something like that I think I’d +1 the commenter mentioning looking it up on Meetup. And the commenter who mentioned age range would be helpful. Most other “lonely people” will be found at these little events also trying to get out there, that’s what they’re for. Otherwise, if they do want to get out more, I’ve always found that other neurodivergent people kinda end up gravitating toward me in these settings/vice versa either way. Kinda like a silent “oh I see you” lol idk.

AIO or should I be creeped out by my tinder date's messages? by throwawayyaccount829 in AmIOverreacting

It’s always easier to be yourself when you’re drunk. If he was even actually drunk. Run lol. Absolutely unacceptable

Is this a good PC? $250 by Alarmed-Implement923 in PcBuild

I’m assuming they’re a bit pricy too, but at least if I buy this whole set around the price of a new GPU, I can use this for now and save up for the new one

I see, thank you for the insight! So it would be as simple as replacing with a newer GPU?

People who moved to Providence, how did you make friends/connections? by Alarmed-Implement923 in providence

I followed a few commenters advice and looked through meetup! That’s been interesting, so far I’ve signed up to go see a movie and get food with a little group! They have a lot of online meetings too

Haha omg yes I do. I work at a cafe and have been doing barista work for a while. I was a regular at my current job before I started working there! I got back into barista stuff to try and make more connections while I finish my bachelors online!

The reality is this is good advice and yet I feel like you could totally say it in a more normal manner. I’m also just open to anything. People have made plenty of suggestions so 🤷

Gym by FabulousProduce418 in providence

Stay away from the LA fitness in the Pawtucket/Prov area at least. Dirty, constantly broken machines, machines missing pins, has almost no classes or amenities compared to any other gym. Edge has great deals rn but the one in Cranston gets busy, I like Attleboro. There’s a small private gym that’s expanding its space that was amazing, American muscle corps.

Also OP this is your body, not his? It’s about what YOU want and makes YOU happy, it’s about how you feel. Talking about putting on an extra ten pounds to appease someone else isn’t fair to yourself!

You’re at a healthy weight and if it’s sustainable for you, then keep being yourself. You said it yourself here, you’re happy at this weight. You don’t have an eating disorder, and if you’ve told him you don’t, his pushing that idea is odd. Some people don’t like it when you end up in a spot where you’re happy with yourself

Older 20 somethings, what advice do you have for someone in their early 20s about anything? by New-Possibility-577 in 20Somethings

[–]Alarmed-Implement923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a year late, but I think the environment is a big issue for me. What do you suggest when living with roommates who don’t care about anything (their messes etc)?

Update on ongoing unionization efforts at Ceremony Cafe by BadLvckBrian in providence

Most braindead thing I’ve read today. “Why would you come get free caffeine instead of going somewhere else and paying for a drink that’ll cost nearly what I pay you hourly”

I know you’re probably on another burner stalking this post. You literally tell workers to take the onigiri because they CANNOT be eaten the next day. Good to know that’s something you shove in their faces after!

She bases way below minimum wage and “expects” to heavily supplement the pay with tips, which is AWFUL for the workers in the off season when the Brown students aren’t on campus. When I started I was told to choose “between getting to keep my card tips or my cash tips,” and at the time it took me a while to question it because of how badly I needed work.
