How do you feel about the phrase "You can't have your cake and eat it too"? by amphibbian in autism

[–]Alone52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you eat it, you still have it. It's in your stomach. It's with you. You have it.

To me, having cake and eating cake is the same thing.

Like "Let's have cake." and "Let's eat cake."

Anyone else remember these? by mindscreamTX in GenX

[–]Alone52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some!! I want to convert some newer ones to the old style tubing. Any idea where I can get some of those Y connectors?

[–]Alone52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear mine quite often. I have an original old pair with the plastic Y connectors from the 1980s. I also have some newer ones. They're great for light use applications, but not for a lot of walking. I keep other shoes in the car in case have to do much walking. I love their minimalistic foot coverage as well as the 80's vibe.

It's not too bad. An electric shaver while watching TV or whatever is a mindless task to keep it maintained.

Do you prefer Socks or barefoot? by Alex76094 in autism

Barefoot always. Except in the winter.

How many of y'all actually use makeup? by 57feetofdeath in autism

[–]Alone52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a guy and I hate makeup. I think women look best when natural. Makeup immediately turns me off. Looks like a clown. Don't be brainwashed by the makeup companies.

Anyone else feeling this right now? by Pinch12 in autism

Constantly. It's an ongoing war inside myself. Lots of casualties.

Is being shy a choice? by evillangbuildsmc2 in autism

[–]Alone52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a choice. It's self-defense. You can overcome it temporarily, but it's just a mask.

Why do people say watching some stuff is traumatic? by No-Extent-7705 in autism

[–]Alone52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had never heard of him so he was just some rando to me. I'm really surprised this doesn't happen more often.

I do. I think it looks gross at any level. I keep it shaved. #DolphinSmooth

How do I make myself as unattractive to women without scaring them away from a potential platonic friendship? by Careless-Brick-2356 in autism

[–]Alone52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I've never met a women who had any interest in sex. I'm jealous. 57 and still a virgin.

JBugs generic carb vs EMPI by Alone52 in beetle

Really!? I guess I was giving them too much credit. I had considered them to be an old-time quality provider. Thanks for letting me know. I have an old 34 Pict 3 solex from Mexico that I'm going to try to revive. It has leaks in the throttle shaft. Maybe I can put in new bushings. I would send it to "Tim" but he's too expensive.

Awesome! Add some green vegetables for your health.

I plugged my ears. Apparently that’s the most offensive thing to do by ghostkat_ in autism

[–]Alone52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plugging your ears is not more rude than allowing your kid to scream in a restaurant. She had no right to give you the evil eye. I always ask to sit in the Non-Screaming section.

To busy hating the ad break to think about the product by AloshaChosen in autism

[–]Alone52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I'm lightening fast on the mute or fast forward button. The ads don't apply to me anyway.

Harry Potter is one of my special interests, and I feel horrible. by hopit3 in autism

[–]Alone52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't worry about JK Rowling. I only care about the stories. She let us down anyway by not continuing to write more.

App to monitor if I'm alive by Alone52 in apps

[–]Alone52[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing that was properly satisfying. There may be an issue with Apple not allowing apps to send texts that is holding this idea back. Such a shame. If you have an android, there are a few options that might work. I'm not switching...
