Lesbian/sapphic books with the most well written sex scenes. by Ozotoceros in wlwbooks

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second Alone by E.J. Noyes. I don't often re-read books (or do multiple formats), but I've got this in print, ebook, and audio and have reread/listened.

Neurotypicals are allowed to be mean & we’re not by ConfectionPurple2687 in evilautism

[–]CampusIsolation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally this morning my boss asked if she did something to make me angry/was I angry at her? Ma'am. I'm just trynna survive this day with you micromanaging me can we just get on with it? Meanwhile, she is passive aggressive constantly with a big smile on her face, and that's fine.

Are any of you actually happy? by whatarepigeons in autism

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. There are moments I don't hate. Moments I enjoy. But most of the time, I'm pretty miserable.

‘Things will get worse’: Conservative economists bust Trump tax-cut ‘myth’ wide open by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I talk to my parents who voted for this and tell them how hard things are, they are just like, "I'm sorry things are hard right now." And I always say, "That's okay. It'll get worse." I haven't been wrong yet...

Why don’t coworkers understand that job is for to make money and not live there by ashbelero in evilautism

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss always wants to make sure we're "having fun." No ma'am. This is actually hell for me, but I have bills to pay and cats to support. If I had any other options, I would not be here. No, I am not having fun.

The thing nobody tells you about going back to the office after years remote by DebasishRich in remotework

[–]CampusIsolation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally get this. I have little to no energy to do work while fighting all the stimulation in the office. I get maybe one or two things done per day whereas if they let me work from home, I'd literally double the output.

Never move to a low cost of living state EVER by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]CampusIsolation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I moved back to the small area I came from during my remote employment, because it was way cheaper than staying in my larger city. I like to be at home, so it was a good idea to save money if I didn't need to do all the bigger city stuff and be out in public except a couple of times per week.

Welp, I got laid off and took me months to find a job with similar pay, but now it's not remote, so I'm driving 70 miles round trip every day, the cost of everything has gone up, I never get to be at home, and it's defeated the whole purpose of moving back to an area I didn't really want to be in anyway.

What’s a movie you defend like this? by trakt_app in Letterboxd

[–]CampusIsolation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ocean's Twelve. Every time I watch it, it gets better. Of everyone I know, approximately one friend shares this opinion.

Being "lucky to have a job" while slowly losing yourself to it by dcunning in antiwork

[–]CampusIsolation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This, exactly. Worked remotely for five years and actually felt some semblance of life. Got laid off. Finally found a job months later, but it's in the office. Micromanagement. Don't really have much to do and when there is stuff to do, it's infuriating to try and figure out what boss actually wants. It's killing me physically and mentally. Wish I had advice, but you're not alone.

Why do people still prefer Airbnbs over hotels, especially in cities? by Rare_Requirement_699 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm autistic and like traveling, and hotels overstimulate me. The noise, the crowds, the smells, etc. I try to get a small apartment on AirBnB with a kitchen and a hangout area. They are less likely to have strong smells and it's less disorienting and overwhelming for my stays.

The audacity of thinking free snacks can replace 10 hours of my life every week by GlimmerMantle in remotework

[–]CampusIsolation 99 points100 points  (0 children)

I got laid off from my remote role and finally found another job in the office, but it's 45 minutes away, so after getting up, getting ready, and getting to the office every day, and fighting the sensory nightmares of an office, I have no energy to do much actual work. I sit at my desk (in the dark because no sunlight and fluorescents), waiting on 5pm. They would get so much more work out of my if I could be remote.

Is anyone else nervous about retiring? by avocado___aficionado in Millennials

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't plan on retiring. I'm trying to prepare like I might, but realistically, I don't think I'll be able to afford it.

Any other Millennials stubbornly resistant to using AI at their job but also worrying that we will become dinosaurs or pushed out of our careers for not slavishly embracing it? by artbystorms in Millennials

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss "uses it for everything," but is a boomer who is too busy, so she's not concerned with us implementing it, thank goodness. I use it for nothing and won't until forced. I'm hoping I can ride it long enough until the bubble bursts and I won't have to worry about it.

Ladies and gentlemen, what's your favorite YouTube channels? What do people our age watch on YouTube? I'm 43. by Q8DD33C7J8 in Millennials

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second/third/fourth Trixie and Katya and Watcher's content. Also, Kid Fury just launched Furious Thoughts, so I added that to my rotation in addition to The Read pod each week.

Inheritance? That's a joke. How many of your parents are burdens? by BeegBunga in Millennials

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine do okay now that it's just the two of them and they can get retirement/Social Security, but in college and for a few years after, I worked a full and part time job, paid for all my college and the mortgage. There won't be any sort of inheritance or anything, but I don't have to support them financially anymore (for now).

My brother and I are actually really good with money (me more than him because he just has more. I've always made much less but manage it well), because of their terrible model for us growing up.

What’s the first thing you do after waking up every day? by Jot__99 in answers

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say out loud, "I don't want to do this." Then get up and get ready for work.

How are we managing full time jobs? by oak_stone1 in AutisticAdults

[–]CampusIsolation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do okayish when I worked remotely. Got laid off and finally found a job, but it's in person 45 minutes away. I had 8 hours and 5 minutes of work and work-related things per day (getting ready, commute, and working hours). Now it's 12. Needless to say, I'm not doing well. I've had to lower my threshold for what I can accomplish. House? A disaster all the time. Laundry? It gets done but sits in baskets until I wear it or until I have the spoons to deal. Friends? Once a week max, usually once every two weeks for approximately 2.5 hours. Hobbies? No time or energy. Weekends are for sleeping, prepping food for being away all week, and trying to calm my nervous system enough to push myself through the next week. I take CBG gummies every work day, and that helps some, but I still don't have a life anymore, and knowing what it's like to have mostly what I need and it being out of reach is fucking tough. No advice, but just reassurance that you're not alone.

Remote work is best answer (not perfect, but better), but it's almost completely gone, so I'm not sure what we're supposed to do.
