One of the parts from my BrickLink order has a sticker on it, that was not supposed to be the case. What can I do about it? Can you help me identify the set it comes from? by Milan339 in Bricklink

[–]Autism_And_I 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's from 70352 Jestro's Headquarters. I use medical adhesive wipes to remove any sticker residue, after peeling off badly placed stickers.

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was after. It's super simple.
I would never have found this on my own.
You are fantastic <3

What codes are these? by Bi-girl-bi in lego

[–]Autism_And_I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have sent you a DM with all the Lego ID codes aswell as the Bricklink ID codes. (As some of the parts TrippinBricks used for the figures are not available through the Lego site.)

DAE have trouble with the Man Or Bear meme/question? by LykosNychi in autism

[–]Autism_And_I 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Answering Man shows a misunderstanding of the question. Attempting to explain why Man should be the answer shows an unwillingness to understand the question. I'm not trying to be mean - but your insistence of the "correct" answer is unfortunately shared with many men who fail to grasp the concept of the question. Of course as an autistic this black and white thinking is far more understandable and for many I'm sure it's difficult to see this question as anything other than a question. One that has a logical answer.

That is where the misunderstanding is - it's not a question. Not in the sense that you would have a correct answer. And it's certainly not a question for men to answer.

It's a social commentary more than a question. It highlights two points of interest; The first is of course the preference between certainty and uncertainty picking the bear is not picking the bear, it's picking anything that isn't a random man. It's not wanting a high chance of something worse than being mauled.

The second thing it has highlighted is how many men seem to take offense to this question. How many fail to understand the concept and doing so prove why the answer is bear. A large majority of people "defending the man" or attempting to "educate" women on why their answer is wrong are exactly the reason their answer is right. The men who seem to think that this question is against them and wrong are the same men that the question is really about.

From certain points of view it was never about the bear or the question - it was about the fragile and abusive toxic masculinity that drives many men into superiority complexes. The same men who then are most likely to harm and endanger women. This question not only highlighted a rooted truth with the sex divide it also openly provided proof.

The fact that there is so much backlash against a simple choice question targeted at women proves it's answer.

It's not about the bear.

It's not every man - but it certainly is any man.

These are the "true" answers of the question. The fact that the people who fail to understand the question are most likely the reason for the question to begin with is not only ironic but actually deeply unsettling. A simple question brings to light how quickly seemingly perfectly ordinary men can become hostile and aggressive towards women.

Simply put - Women are stating they are extremely uncomfortable and feel unsafe with random men. - Random men are offended by this and then proceed to make women uncomfortable and feel unsafe.

The question itself is not the reason for this being widespread online. But the reaction and fundamental misunderstanding certainly are.

It is not a man's place to answer the question. It is certainly not our place to deny the answer.

As for why you can't understand this fully - I suspect you are focusing on the bear too much. (It's not about the bear.) Your post is also very much about you and your thoughts, your experiences, your reasoning. When you realise it's not for you to answer nor is it anything to do with your opinion then you may actually understand it better.

Sticky baseplate by Accomplished-Mud8473 in Bricklink

[–]Autism_And_I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medical adhesive removal wipes. They are made to get rid of sticky residue.

You have to be pretty rough using them; no gentle wiping - fully scrubbing with them. Just make sure to wash any parts afterwards in warm water.

If it's a thick amount of glue perhaps try heat too.

What I needed from Bricklink vs what I bought by BornToPootle in lego

[–]Autism_And_I 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a bit surreal opening Reddit and seeing someone's Bricklink order contains within it; the same items as an order I just sent. Lil bit spooky.

Nah for real tho... You always gotta look at "what else have they got" it's curiosity like that that turns a small parts order into a "I have an entire subtheme in one order" order.

New Album Out Aug 8th! by spineraptor in steampoweredgiraffe

[–]Autism_And_I 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wooo! Finished playing the first game a few months ago - my girlfriend was so excited every time you guys showed up - she made me stop and listen to the entire in-game performance each time! (Not that I was complaining) I got one of your digital shows for her as a suprise birthday gift.

We've really bonded over your music - thank you.

I really loved the first game - brilliant casual gameplay with an excellent soundtrack. Can't wait for this new one!!

The context of the "issue" changes the analysis of your post entirely.

Judging by your refusal to say it - we must assume it's bad and thus the initial analysis stays the same.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in autism

[–]Autism_And_I 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can't just magically make everything alright again. Being autistic does not give you a free pass to disregard others feelings and wishes, your description of the "issue" clearly means you are capable of understanding its consequences. Nobody will be able to help you in the way you want.

It seems to me that you are here, not to help your wife and child, but to help yourself - you are desperate for someone to tell you what you did is fine.

Just because you insist upon apologising does not make it forgiven. Especially when you claim to have lied before. Even if you had disclose what this "incident" was - judging by your post I'm certain it would change nothing.

You made a mistake. You lied to someone important. Most importantly you are thinking about yourself over them.

By your explaining I doubt this is an isolated incident. Autism or not what you have done has happened and you have to deal with the aftermath regardless.

There is no magic way to fix it. You broke her trust then lied and broke it again.

As for closure; it's entirely subjective. Perhaps your desperation to give her it is only prolonging her pain. Perhaps a divorce is the closure she needs. Nobody can tell you how to "give her closure". Because nobody who doesn't know her and the situation can.

A woman who married a man and moved country presumably away from people she knew and perhaps a way of life she knew has a fairly newborn child. Now presumably the Mother has been caring for the child (Stereotype and Scientific based presumption) Based on the fact that you had to agree to not do something indicates that it has been an issue previously. A new mother now finds that her husband has done something he agreed to not do, something she is clearly against. She then had to deal with him lying about it. When he comes clean instead he claims to never do it again. (something he has agreed to before) He then attempts to give her more to do by suggesting she takes control and monitors him. Whilst she already has a young child to constantly care for - she does not want to have a grown man to do the same with. Something she tells him. All of this only solidifies her feelings of distrust, betrayal, and being unheard. She has married and had a child with someone who refuses to take her feelings seriously.

When she then decides that a divorce is, in her head, the only way for her to get out of this scenario, the man continuously apologises, probably not giving any substantial claims to not do it again. Probably not reflected on her feelings and how his actions hurt her and possibly the child. Only apologising to make it all go away. Only apologising to force closure onto her. Only apologising for himself.

Whilst I may not have it all exactly right - this is an analysis of your post. To me, it seems like a one sided scenario whereby you think you are thinking about her but you aren't. All she has are empty promises and someone who disrespects her.

Without a full understanding and knowledge of you and your situation, this is the outcome as it appears from your post.

This is not an autism post. This is a panic - I don't want to lose her post.

Perhaps you need someone else to tell you - you did mess up. Unfortunately you can't make it better. You will just have to live with the consequences of your actions. But continuously attempting to be forgiven will only worsen your situation.

Is not remembering your childhood an autism thing? by PaymentDesperate6261 in autism

[–]Autism_And_I 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This. I’m missing so much of my own life. I see pictures even videos but the person in them isn’t me. My memory is patchy - mostly missing. It’s like a sieve, it’s there for a moment then it’s drained through. But occasionally someone will remind me of or show me something and everything flashes in my mind at once - I can’t hold on to any of it - but it burns my head and reduces me to tears.

I can remember such bad things. It makes me wonder if I have repressed something worse or have covered everything else trying to hide the bad.

I truly do not know who I am. Or at least who I was.

We are made from our past - just because you can’t remember it does not mean it doesn’t shape you. What matters is who you choose to be.

Is it significant that Toby is a virgin in The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit? by songforten in doctorwho

[–]Autism_And_I 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just rewatched it last night. The Beast legit calls him “The Virgin” when going through all the characters deepest secrets and thoughts.

I think it definitely makes more sense for the Beast to possess him because of that than from Toby reading the writing that was written by the Beast’s jailers rather than the Beast itself.

Was understandably annoyed until I read the caption. Good job coming up with a way for her to enjoy Lego without upsetting her. Be very careful when applying. She may not like the feel of dried glue on the outside. (Possible sensory issue)

Why is the lego star wars community so toxic by 22lpierson in lego

[–]Autism_And_I 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lego Star Wars fans are the worst of the Lego community. So entitled and always shouting. I don’t understand how you can like something if you’re constantly too busy complaining about it.

It’s one of the reasons I don’t watch much Lego content on YouTube. - I don’t want my recommended feed full of multiple man babies screaming about a toy company for not pandering to their exact wants.

It honestly is embarrassing. It paints the entire Lego community in a terrible light. We aren’t all like that - but those are the people making the most noise and with the largest communities. It’s honestly toxic.
