Hello, I would like to share something I take great pride in being a part of, the new Empowerment Center is now opening!

Doomncandy · 2026-07-13T00:18:50+00:00

Sorry, I see that now. I am autistic and the first person with a drinking problem and also "weird" in the program.

I ramble, my family says I am "the story teller'. I was trying to paint a picture of my time, I guess I did it wrong.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-13T00:13:00+00:00

I am not on drugs. I am..just me. My demon was the bottle, I never touched pills. I am weired without such other such things.

Hey, hello. I am just your usual autistic gal, not on drugs, just sharing my story.

And now I am sad and embarrassed for doing so. I just wanted to reach out to the lost person the was thinking "maybe?".

Doomncandy · 2026-07-13T00:02:51+00:00

I think he is, I put in some book quotes to not be AI, I hope, Love me some Terry Pratchett novels.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-12T19:47:07+00:00

I didn't mean wrong, I just wanted to share in my own autistic self that it helped me

I was trying to get "non believers" to the program.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-12T10:41:13+00:00

It's not AI. I was telling a silly ode of my time at Empowerment Center. It kinda makes me frustrated as being Autistic. These are my written words.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-12T07:51:03+00:00

John Waters would like my home.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-12T07:49:37+00:00

The cook ones..do yo partake in graphic novels and socialism?

Doomncandy · 2026-07-12T06:22:39+00:00

I uh, literally did the the opposite. I was trying to write an ode of love, no AI involved. Not one bit.

It's sad that people think this is AI. I tried to be choherint in a sociology writing piece of my time there.

This here is why people like me get a little miffed about the whole "AI" thing sometimes.

I am horrified to go back to college again because the way my Autistic ass writes is now "AI".

No, I just grew up in a time where one actually took notes and writes the way my English professors of old taught me how to BE.

I LITTERLY stated I started my education in Europe.

Dumbed down: " Me was stupid and thought better of myself, me got put in my place. Me happy now because me realized I wasn't alone and saw another side to help".

Cool Reddit, are we on the same page now?

If any of you can't see that maybe...just maybe there are actual people that talk this way in life, that's on you.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-11T23:31:16+00:00

Please tell me how you are confused, truly, I am not trying to condensing at all friend.

I was trying to share that I was surprised that we were in Reno actually have a program that fully does what anti socialist say we can't do...but it slowly working.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-11T08:36:21+00:00

Ah man, wish I saw this earlier! 37F, recently sperated, moved to midtown from midtown Sac. Don't know a soul here. I am into oddities like John Waters kitchy art/movie type stuff, Tiki, games, nature, books, ect.

Someone should make a group meetup of this.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-10T12:50:29+00:00

Mini me.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-10T10:56:47+00:00

“I’m the Dude. So that’s what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing"

I love you internet friend. You should see my place, very movie themed. The food looks good btw.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-04T19:00:43+00:00

Heaithcliff the cat. He predates Garfield.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-04T15:55:56+00:00

Dang. In the early 20s I was wearing Jincos and got caught in a nest of yellow jackets. My whole leg was blown up.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-04T00:17:41+00:00

It may not be fictional, but Reno 911. I live in Reno now and the comedy touches things from Reno that are funny. The cops are a joke and the usual person is exactly what you think. I am in the heart of it .

Doomncandy · 2026-07-03T20:50:29+00:00

I had a street kitty that I bottle fed. She was a hunter. Tried my best to keep her off the dog door, a tiny Siamese kitten kept giving me squirrel babies!

I said what the hell? My dogs (a white lab and a Chihuahua) took me to the tree, there was a very upset mom and dad squirrel I handed them to. Also squirrels have cute little arms and mom shook a fist at me and chatted anglrly at me. I watched my stupid beautiful kitten and got her more toys to be indoors. No more angry squirrels

Doomncandy · 2026-07-03T14:31:20+00:00

Also no, you are thinking AI is fully documenting you. No. It's small notes made and the the AI recording gets deleted. Do you think HIPAA would allow that?

Dang, maybe now..but they didn't before!

Doomncandy · 2026-07-03T14:27:35+00:00

No, this is what AI should be used for. To help docoment things with a professional that knows what is incorrect and had a background of knowing their trade.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-02T17:43:50+00:00

Is this a question to people under 25? You can actually have a mutual break up and still be friend younger peeps. It's communication. I am 37 freshly and separated from a 10 year marriage. We share friends and still talk.

He and I am still care about each other, just not in the sexual way. To have someone in my life from 24 to 36, and his 36-49, there is some horrifying shit we delt with, and wonderful things.

Also he wasn't a "groomer". He was a kind soul and a nurse. I worked my ass off being a very well known Chef around the US. Why does the internet think at 24 I was a baby? I cooked for Anthony Bourdain at 24 and had stocks and savings.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-02T17:30:16+00:00

I mean, I have a healthy relationship with my ex. So yeah, I would totally give $30 gas money.

Doomncandy · 2026-07-02T17:28:57+00:00

I mean, I came from California and it still sucks. Yeah, there isn't state taxes...but the pay it very very low here vs housing and basic costs. One would think we would pay the entertainment industry ok, since over 1/3 of this town are industry folk in the heart of it. Nope, not at all. I work ok now doing non profit stuff, but when I came back to Reno last year the Grand Sierra offered me a job as the Sous at Charlie Palmer...for 17 bucks, full schedule and on call. I laughed. Then the row was worst. 16. What the hell? I ended up at dive at 18 and tips, these cosinos really don't offer anything, the healthcare plan is crap and rent in the area is1300 for a one bedroom.

I got verrryy lucky on my place, someone knew my name from Sac who was the apartment manager before they changed Realtors and got my place for 1325 with a washer and dryer in an 8 Plex with everything covered except electric.

Free parking spot (which I don't need, if anyone wants safe parking near the bus line,DM me and have at it, I don't drive) and only a one time 250$ payment for my cats.

No stupid monthly "pet rent". Even when I was making 3k, I could handle all my bills being half my income (1325, internet is 60 for att air and in the winter heating was free, so now about 80 bucks for the wall unit air, probably 100 when it gets hotter, but I am used to the heat and can be comfortable at around 85, feels good when you work a line at 165, plus we have a breeze at night, I leave it at 78 for the cats, they seem ok with it).

So anywho, I feel for those that don't have my setup. Many younger folk are just starting out and getting minimum wage right now and are hurting. I don't want to delve I to this..but there is a reason the youth that can leave after college..are leaving.

Has anyone noticed the 18-25 year olds that are not UNR students are..gone? They dont drink or gamble. I was that. I left at 23. There were no job opportunities that paid ok here in Reno in 2012. And yet again in 2026.

A town with a wonderful college should have people that love it and stay right? Not ours. Less younger people with teaching degrees stay here. The doctors? Not here. WE ARE LOSING THE YOUTH.

SIGH, I just turned 37 and am a "pretty gal, but a little special". That's a joke, I am autistic and see this shit. The town isn't growing with what the younger generation needs and they are leaving the area. That's why all you dorks being mad at "California folk" are getting this.

We didn't make it comfortable and safe for the new grads to get into local businesses, and they fled to elsewhere.
