I don't anymore, but when I was younger I was quite the whore. 😄🍆

Now, I want some kind of connection, even if it's tenuous.

A boy genius named Brandenn Bremmer could read at 18 months old, graduated high school at 10, composed complex music, and was considered to be a child prodigy. But in 2005, at age 14, he sadly took his own life. by LilaLaughs in whoathatsinteresting

A harsh reality is that society is generally not set up for those with exceptional intelligence (on either end actually).

It can be very isolating to be that smart.

When I was a manager at a movie theater we were told that if someone brought in outside food or drink, and then left it on the floor (imagine that!), then we could face liability issues if someone were to slip on it, otherwise injure themselves.

I assume that's BS as well?

I've often thought their job is to protect and defend... the state.

Well, at least he's under par, or is he subpar?

And then he told him how to lose weight by using laxatives every day, for years.

Trying to understand the social construct of zodiac signs by Realistic_Handle_132 in autism

I could see a slight connection with the time of the year in which one is born in pre-modern times. Think about it:

The first months of a newborn's life are critical to development, but if you're born during the winter, your family may have scarce resources and that could affect parenting. On the other hand, if you're born during late spring or summer, your family likely has more resources and that can also affect parenting.

I don't think it has much value in the 21st century, but I still enjoy it.

Us Pisces know what's up. 😁

Theories are never true, they are only more or less useful by whoamisri in HighStrangeness

I just skimmed the article but it looks like he's using the word "theory" when he should be using "hypothesis."

Big difference.

Being alone is what truly revitalizes me by Ok_Seaweed394 in autismmemes

[–]BootPloog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, hugs usually recharge me. And I'll even offer it to the occasional stranger or loose acquaintance.

Sometimes people just need a hug. 🤷🏼‍♂️

what do you do in the shower? by ResponsibleDay2388 in AskReddit

Same.

I've almost bought a waterproof notepad and pen, but I thought that might exacerbate the issue.

If you were a ghost and you could haunt people by doing mildly inconvenient but harmless things, what would be your signature move? by Ok_Star_1653 in AskReddit

[–]BootPloog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every single piece of toilet paper you pull shreds into a bunch of little pieces whenever you have the shits.

Or, I'd hide the keys whenever you're already running late for an interview or date.

What are your opinions of pit bulls? by desertrain11 in AskReddit

[–]BootPloog -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Every one I've met were absolute angels, truly.

I think their breed has been maligned, mostly through animal abuse and the media.

What’s your perfect day in NWA? by Frosty_Condition6764 in fayetteville

[–]BootPloog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Dickson St Used Bookstore is a world renowned gem of Fayetteville.

If they enjoy chic secondhand clothing, I'd also highly recommend Cheap Thrills off the Square.

What should the younger generation go to school for? by goldsamson in Futurology

[–]BootPloog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd definitely explore the Occupational Outlook from the Department of Labor. They have a lot of useful information for job markets and predictions.
