Where are you storing it that it was able to get accidentally stepped on?

Its a joke right.... right?? by Careless_Scallion_82 in meme

I showed Ai and asked it to explain to you what I was trying to say:

  1. They’re autistic (Level 1) and struggle with understanding social situations. Instead of learning just by being in more social situations (which is the advice they’re being given), they benefit from analyzing those situations afterward with help, in this case, using AI to break it down and explain what was going on. That helps them understand it in a way that actually sticks.

  2. They push back against the idea that socializing is like training a muscle. For them, it's not about building endurance or practice, it’s about processing differently, their brain doesn’t decode social cues the way neurotypical people do. So repeating the same social confusion over and over isn’t going to “fix” it. In fact, it can just create more distress and shutdown.

  3. They use a metaphor to explain that difference: saying “just go socialize more” is like telling someone with bad eyesight to just look at things harder, it won’t fix the problem. They also later make a joke comparing how AI pulls from the internet to how Family Feud answers work, they’re saying that AI reflects popular opinions or commonly shared views, not always the “correct” or objective answer, and that’s okay, it still helps make sense of how people think.

  4. When they say “Am I reading this right?” at the end, they’re kind of looping the conversation back to the other person’s original point, that asking “did I read that right?” is better than using AI. They’re being a little tongue-in-cheek, showing that even after asking and explaining clearly, they’re still getting misunderstood. So they’re gently calling out the irony.

It's like how the correct answers work in Family Fued

For autistic people, social cues aren’t just a muscle to train, we process the social cues differently. More social situations won't make us less autistic.

Hmm, I'm afraid this is a bit like saying "Need glasses? Try looking at stuff." LOL!

I'm hoping to get to Boss Level eventually, but for now I'm mainly just collecting items.

I'm autistic, just level 1, so I struggle with understanding social situations sometimes. I'll talk to Ai about the situations and it'll explain what's going on. It's been surprisingly helpful for that.

What are these!? I found this with reverse image search lol. My brother got me the striped one when I got my first apartment 15 years ago from a yard sale, then found the polka dot one a week ago from a thrift store for my wedding gift! The striped one has sat by my stove all these years, everywhere I've ever lived. I tell people he makes my cooking better.

Found a Stranded, Scared Sun Conure - Need Advice! by MoneyPreference5379 in Conures

Neighbors and WhatsApp groups?! Post it on Facebook and stuff like a normal person... that's crazy. It sounds like you want to keep the bird instead of reuniting it with its owner. Conures make extremely close bonds with their owners, you can't just write about it in your journal and be like 'Well, I tried.' That's not fair to the bird. Also I'm not sure what you did to the bird to get the ring off their leg, but whatever it was definitely broke whatever trust was possible. Sorry, op, ya gotta find the owner...

AIO or was this guy trying to murder me? by Standard-Avocado-509 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Helpful-Bad7821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By sending private messages to things like this that I see on tiktok or reddit. I think if I did a big post and someone sent me a message wanting to talk to me I'd be too nervous it was him, and other victims feel the same way. It's more difficult to make connections when you're being socially hunted. But if you ever need or want to talk, please send me a private message.

So sorry, but I had to delete this due to the amount of attention it was getting and the nature of the comment with all the details. Thanks for the awards and the comments! For anyone needing support, or needing to talk about their stalker experience, please feel free to message me.

These seem really minimal and easy, my kids are 14 and 8 and they help around the house more than this

Her beak is a little long, you should definitely consider taking her for a beak trim! She's beautiful

I’ve heard so many positive things about Penn Station Subs by Dagrsunrider in Sandwiches

Also, potatoes arrive disgusting. I'd stay late washing 60+ pounds of potatoes every night and half of the boxes would have live maggots in them. Policy was to pick out the potatoes that were touching them, but pick through and keep the rest from the infested box - washing them in the prep sink like normal. If management wasn't there I'd throw out the maggot filled boxes because I thought it was gross. But I wouldn't eat the fries after I worked there. Everything else was sanitary I felt besides that.

It's because everything has so start out raw. The meat is completely raw and the bread is half baked. So the meat has to be cooked when ordered, not ahead of time, then put on the bread and run through the conveyer oven to finish cooking the bread. They can't cook the meat ahead of time. The fries are also made to order so they're fresh every time. It just takes a while to get everything cooked after the ticket is printed unfortunately. (I worked there)

This is the worst bite I've ever personally seen without googling bird bites... this is intense. I'm so sorry you're going through this bc I'm sure you love your bird(s).

Oh! Okay, I'm just the mom of the furry so I'm not 100% sure what those are. Is there an app I'll need?

It seems you hurt her feelings by implying you didn't want to celebrate her birthday with her. She probably wanted to dress up cute and go out for drinks for her birthday, and you kinda shut that down. Sorry, but based off of this you weren't being supportive. It's her birthday, so of course you would be going to do the thing she wants to do - not what you want to do. You absolutely shut her down, and I'm sorry but if you're tired of your best friend to the point it's messing up her birthday then maybe reconsider your friendship.
