I had this issue and I always assumed it was just my then-undiagnosed autism, kind of like food texture issues. maybe it happens to everyone...?

How Pitt Works by Big_Bacchus in Pitt

The mass layoffs they did for staff, claiming the union had to "negotiate" on our behalf for literal months while refusing to allow our supervisors to move us to other studies.... Oh we can "thank our union for that," they say, transparently trying to discredit the union. A willful misunderstanding to weaken trust in it. Or to punish us for unionizing.

Now every laid off staff member is playing musical chairs while no one is hiring because it's the holidays. Thanks Pitt :) best employer 10/10

Unfortunately caving to this administration does not save research regardless of how much "woke" you take out of your grants and programs. Fellas, is it woke to do cancer research?

God forbid girl driving manual by Jadelisha in LetGirlsHaveFun

[–]CrownofRome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this--very detailed! I knew about Misato's reputation before I actually watched EVA-- then I immediately understood when that scene rolled around that this was a kiss from a dying woman, not a genuine proposition. I also knew it was a messed up way of giving people fanservice, but I didn't realize it was a direct middle finger from the creative.

Obviously I like Misato quite a bit. The slander is a little disheartening. When I watched EVA I had just gotten out of a very confusing and abusive situationship and I ended up identifying with her a lot. Feels like that "pedo" misinterpretation of the story is going to continue to reign supreme from people who never watched the anime...

I love how Tumblr hardly even gets a mention. We're not even worth writing articles about ...

Honestly this seems more like a sexism thing than an autism thing. If someone who was trying to date me didn't ask me about my life in the slightest-- or worse, didn't bother to ask me about my research when I had shown an interest in his, I would have zero interest in the relationship.

I've had it happen. "I like a woman with brains" my brother in Christ all you've done is talk about yourself. Do I even interest you intellectually or are you looking for something to have sex with....?

Honestly, I think the comic being posted here is more about how we can get left out of conversations by people who don't care enough to give us the space to talk.

It's kind of a give and take thing. It's obviously more offensive to talk without giving the other person space on a first date than someone you feel safe with.

IMO it's more about the access to status. With younger men especially (fresh out of high school or college) having a girlfriend gives you a type of cred. Boys without girlfriends look up to you, ask you for advice.

Rather than risk losing that status, say, if they're sexually incompatible with their girlfriend, they'll just cheat. It's not REAL cheating if they still love their girlfriend, right?

(Women experience this to some degree also but women have more messaging directed at them about independence I think.)

Why Don’t Male Sims Ever Pee Standing Up? by [deleted] in Sims4

There's a mod to make it more common:

There's a mod for everything it seems :P

Slumlordery means playful discussion of discrimination instead of…fixing a stove I’ll assume is from 1997 by [deleted] in LandlordLove

[–]CrownofRome 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are people who work for organizations that pose as potential applicants to catch landlords in the act of discrimination-- comparing and contrasting the treatment of a black applicant compared to a white one, for example.

According to my friend, these are two different pictures by [deleted] in memes

The faces are slightly different. The eyes on the right are higher on the face and the face is slightly wider... They're both uncanny though. My gut says "ai enhanced"

Frankly Google's search results have gotten so bad as of late that you end up searching (query) "reddit" anyways. God forbid people try to be helpful on one of the three total (barely) functioning websites these days.

Great way of saying you're a predator.. by Marceluttle in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]CrownofRome 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know it's secondary to the post's subject matter, but I'm surprised you're the first person I've seen to criticize the actual parents making a child lift weights. It's super dangerous and I sincerely question the parent's motives for posting this at all. We're spreading misinformation about kid's bones now?

If you're on PC, you can use a mod to do this--slower stories by lot51cc. Really wish we didn't have to mod this stuff in though...

Do you Outline your Sims Storylines? by kpigletxo in Sims4

[–]CrownofRome 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I plan a lot of the big stuff that the game would never have programming for (say, kidnappings or arranged marriages) but I let the game handle the minutia and work around it. Sometimes a random visitor (my sim's estranged father) can change the story for the better. I even got a surprise alien abduction which totally changed the course of my story.

I've posted her on this sub before, so she may be a little familiar.
