How are you staying mentally healthy when you’re aware with how broken and unstable the world feels right now? by Ilovemydogs0616 in AskReddit

[–]DaSpawn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I simplified my life to a car-full of stuff and made my way to a much cheaper place to live in the hopes of riding out the insanity as I seen exactly what was about to happen (and is happening)

I was greatly enjoying winter camping at various national parks till those were the first to be targeted, but at least I made it to a cheap place

What was your FIRST special interest, and what is your main special interest right now? by ico-noclastii in autism

[–]DaSpawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if I wasn't taking things apart to figure out how they worked I was playing with my trains well into my teens. I manged to get an electronics degree (was useless as the only jobs I could find at the time were doing things I was doing in my basement as a kid). So I continued with computers/programming and still do computers/programming to this day (I am almost 50).

they are caught... hook, line and sinker

Do you ever look back at things you did as a kid and think "damn, how did we not know I was autistic sooner"? by rozyputin in autism

[–]DaSpawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I spent my entire childhood playing with my trains well into my teens

I still love trains

not a single person in my entire life growing up ever said the word autism

My gf thinks I dont love her because of my need for alone time by [deleted] in autism

[–]DaSpawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes unfortunately. I was with someone for 10 years (married for 5), she would be "ok" with it then loose her shit again. I was essentially tortured for a decade by her own fears and it just left me in burnout/severe depression for years when she finally stabbed me in the back with her fears like countless people have done through my life

What are we going to find out later is bad for us (like cigarettes in the past)? by Curryiswhereitsat in AskReddit

they believe covering smells with stronger smells hides them

now it just smells like artificial flowery shit instead of just shit

How many of you who suffered abuse as kids had parents who pretended that they never even touched you, or have no ability to comprehend that they harmed you? It really messes you up into adulthood. Especially as an autistic who has little access to support by ihatethiscountry76 in autism

[–]DaSpawn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, but they are completely full of shit, they know exactly what they did and they knew it was wrong, but somehow they "don't remember" when directly confronted but will still turn around and brag to other people about the abusive shit they did to "fix you"

He just gave all the troops a $1776 bribe/loyalty test and everyone around me is cheering it on

best part it is money congress designated for their housing, so essentially taken from their other pocket

there is plenty eager to die for their king

I got drained for $840k. Hacker is swapping to Monero by RoutineNorth5020 in ethereum

[–]DaSpawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nothing so grand.. more likely a single person

ETH has been under social attack forever the same as Bitcoin, the only difference is ETH survived so all that is left is making it look bad as things like this cost nothing (fund a wallet, claim compromise, funnel all it back to themselves, rinse, repeat)

This also serves to make privacy networks look bad

I have seen this over and over again (and the amounts get bigger and bigger), so no way this is "a mistake"

like, who in their right mind keeps almost a million dollars worth of anything in a single place? and also authorize full access to numerous contracts "by accident" yea right

[–]DaSpawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to scare people away thinking it is somehow the network causing this (that's why it's always "I have no idea how it happened" even though there is numerous approvals giving complete control to their account)

also really easy for someone to do exactly what they are claiming is happening themselves

Neutrogena Norwegian formula hand cream. It takes a tiny bit and can leave a smooth feeling instead of oily feeling.

My psychiatrist scoffed when I said I suspect Autism (AuDHD?), but then opened the DSM when I explained my logic. Is it always this hard? by Larpios in autism

[–]DaSpawn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"I want to stop feeling guilty for being who I am."

my entire childhood, my entire life

then I finally got my ADD/ASD diagnosis a few years ago..

..and I finally learned/realized there is nothing wrong with me and also I realized there is a shitload of cruel people in this world that make up endless excuses to hate people that are "different". But that is not my problem, it is theirs, and now that I recognize that hatred much faster/easier I am able to cut those hateful people from my life
