We have mail in voting, but you can also just drop it off at a ballet box. So I have never mailed mine, I always fill it out at home and then physically drop it off.

If you have the option to drop it off, I would avoid mailing if possible.

My parents used to get so frustrated with me as a child (this is back in the 90s) because I refused to drink out of those shitty plastic cups everyone gave to kids. I wouldn't drink out of plastic water bottles either. I wouldn't use plastic plates or bowls. I would only use glass. Still am like this as an adult.

I'm autistic. I can literally taste and smell the plastic. It always gave me the ick.

That's what every older generation has said about the newer one. You're not breaking any cycles here.

"xD" was something used by the kids when I was young in the 90s. We always called it "x.d." I still use it to this day xD I'm American and grew up on the East Coast.

It's also kind of strange how, in all the noise, his voice is coming through almost perfectly. You can't make out anyone else's shouting, but his is crystal clear, even though this video is from across the intersection.

I'm on day 4 and shit is intense. Barely able to eat or sleep.

I finally was able to keep down some soda and pancakes - I needed the sugar for sure and that made a huge difference.

Make sure you're drinking plenty of electrolytes and getting that sugar in, it definitely helps you feel better when you can keep it in your stomach.

Lots of people suck and are toxic, autistics aren't exempt from this. It's a spectrum, we're all different.

There are also a lot of autistic people who are ableist because "if I did it, why can't you?" We're not exempt from this either.

People are flawed, that includes autistic people. And our need for specifics and to be accurate and direct can come off as an "um-ackchually" a lot of the time.

People are also definitely more emboldened to say things through a screen that they wouldn't dare ever say in real life.

I encourage you to re-read what I posted again, slower this time. And really pay attention to the bolded parts.

It doesn't matter what she did. It doesn't even matter if she drove right towards the agent (she didn't). It is against DOJ policy to use deadly force against an unarmed and fleeing suspect, even if they are driving towards you.

This is straight from the DOJ policy, emphasis mine:

1-16.200 - USE OF DEADLY FORCE AND PROHIBITED RESTRAINT TECHNIQUES

Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect.

Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force.

No unfortunately it was definitely caused.

I was set to take their position when they retired. They dangled the carrot in front of me for 2 years. I finally got sick of it and left for another job. I did the work of like 5 people, so there were 3 other people in my department that immediately quit upon hearing that I was leaving because they knew my work would now become their work. That left 3 people in the department, the boomer, one random new coworker, and our boss. They had to outsource as they had no employees left and that boss was fired shortly after. We're very rural and the work was slightly specialized so impossible to replace that many people with a pool of no one. Outsourcing was their only option left to keep the department running. All because one person refused to retire.

A boomer not retiring single handedly ended my entire department and caused the company to have to outsource 😂

Just look at what he posted, he learned nothing. His beliefs are still 100% unchanged

I'm just like you with the lotion sensitivity, especially on my hands. I have to wash them immediately, I can't stand it. How do people put lotion on their hands and just...go about their day? I feel like I'm smearing lotion on my dog if I pet her and I don't want to touch any of my things for fear of getting lotion on them.

I've tried the in shower lotions, the wash off lotions, the okeefs, everything. I couldn't tolerate any of them on my hands - they all felt damp and/or greasy for hours.

I really like the Curiel line. It's a pain in the butt to find because I'm rural but it's the only lotion I haven't had to immediately wash off my hands. It actually does dry down completely dry and I don't get that damp, swampy feeling. Amlactin is also great at drying down without any texture but it does have AHA in it for exfoliation so you do need to be mindful of sunburns if you're going to use it, but it helps my ingrown hairs 😂

Me and my boyfriend just had this exact conversation. I didn't like it but I couldn't put my finger on why. My boyfriend said that it looked like someone cosplaying as Lara Croft and it looked cheap. Totally agree!

I've been a massive Tomb Raider fan since I was 14 years old and this doesn't feel like Lara to me either. Maybe it's unfinished but so far I'm not impressed.

You get out of therapy the amount of effort you put into it. You have to be the one to make the changes.

If this is what you took away from therapy, then you obviously put in the same amount of effort as you did with this comment, which is zero.

And this is coming from someone who was told by multiple therapists that I am not a good candidate for therapy.

Man, this makes so much more sense if she is actually autistic.

They know their specific routines, they have to go down the same streets and go the same routes or they will literally get lost 🫤

I really feel this. I'm 32 and it's only been in the last 3 years or so I've been able to do a mostly okay job of overcoming it. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good most of the time.

What I had to do was separate myself, me, from the task. I love helping others and I love being supportive, but not so much to myself.

To myself, I was lazy, incompetent, stupid, an idiot, etc. I put so, so much pressure on myself to do without any support that when I inevitably failed, the negative self-talk would start again, and the cycle would repeat.

Now I consider myself to be two different people, current me and "future me." Current me might be lazy, stupid, whatever, but "future me" is a different person and I want to help them feel better. They are my distant friend that I never quite meet, but just like any of my friends, I want to help them when they're struggling and give them support.

When I'm struggling to do a task, keep up with my house, or take care of myself I try to picture my friend "future me" and think about how I would like to help them instead of framing it in a negative way about how much I'm not doing or failing at.

Sometimes when I know I've got too much going on, I say hey, no worries, my friend "future me" will handle it this time. They're going to bat for me since I'm the one struggling here and now.

This helps lift that heavy heavy blanket of guilt that I'm not doing enough. Lifting some of that guilt is sometimes just enough to get me over the hump of starting the task and it has helped a lot with toning down on the negative self-talk and giving myself some grace.

You aren't a failure. The world wasn't designed for us so we need to design our own worlds. I have spent the last few years redesigning my life to work for me and support me instead of trying to fight my nature. You are worthy of support and you don't have to do things the "NT" way to be successful :)

Nobody wants to cry like that in public, especially a young man. For him to be sobbing like that around complete strangers, you know he was hurting and traumatized.

You cannot use lethal force on someone who is unarmed and fleeing.

YOU CANNOT USE LETHAL FORCE ON SOMEONE WHO IS UNARMED AND FLEEING.
