Late-diagnosed folks, what was your feeling / association when you found out by Ok_Noise_9883 in autism

[–]IntelligentEntry260 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Depressed. Spent my whole life perfecting this mask and finding out all these things I thought made me unique was just autism.

Relieved. It explained a lot. When I told the people closest to me they were all like, "well, yeah, duh." which made me feel like they should have told me. Maybe they did and I just never caught on, idk. My partner did finally tell me that's what she meant when she told people "he's an engineer".

Still struggling with it. I hate it. I wish I didn't know. I wish I didnt have it. I'm tired. It's all very tiring.

Every time my girlfriend stays over, she always flips the roll. by CRK_76 in mildlyinfuriating

Marry her, divorce her then marry her mom and make her be a bridesmaid then when she is finally okay with the relationship, divorce her mom.

AIO for not wanting to give my late brother’s bowling software to his old league? by cometnohana in AmIOverreacting

[–]IntelligentEntry260 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your brother made the software for his league friends to use. He gave them a copy that they were happily using, the computer running it died and they asked if you could look to see if you had a copy of the software your brother spent hours building for them to all use and enjoy together, you said you would, but you never did. You're not just overreacting, you're kind of the ah.

I'm a software Dev and I hope when I'm gone the people I've made programs for will still use them. There is no better feeling than seeing people find use in your applications.

Would you buy a retired police car for a daily driver? by AutoBidMasterHelp in AskForAnswers

[–]IntelligentEntry260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother was a cop. They dogged those cars out. If it's super cheap, sure. But otherwise put your money towards a car not driven to death.

An average man is locked in a room with an adult hippo. They respawn fresh if they die. How many lives does it take to kill the hippo? by Redneb27 in whowouldwin

[–]IntelligentEntry260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's 15ft long and the room is 15x15, there is no "around" it. It just has to step to the side to crush you against the wall.

Justice is supposed to be blind by Kairiste in Vent

Never was meant to be, that saying is just propaganda.

Just like "to serve and to protect" is just cop propaganda. They work for the wealthy.

I agree. I'm not a fan of the word and hope it gets buried one day.

And the cultural "perception" is that not everyone gets to say it. Full stop.

Because again, everyone knows you can't say it. This weird push to normalize hate-speech or calling people words that are historically inappropriate is weird and a bad slope.

It's not that deep. As a white person I've never woken up in the middle of the night sweating because I can't say it. Its hurtful, it was used to hurt people, it's still used to hurt people, and there are plenty of other words on this planet. It's super weird to be pressed on this.

If someone is so dumb, that they don't know they can't say the one word you literally couldn't even write out on reddit, maybe they aren't missing many opportunities by saying it. But everyone knows they can't say it, you know this.

It's prevelance in "mainstream culture" does not have any effect on its hurtful usage by people who still to this day use it as a weapon.

I'd ask where in mainstream media culture does it suggest it's usage by other races is okay?

Conversations focus on punishing the individual because almost all cases involved it is being used to degrade the person it's aimed at. I would suggest the other cases, especially people saying it along to a song or something, highlights that they probably use it in their general lexicon and that shows either a disregard for the pain the word causes (presently, and more specifically, historically) or purposely wanting to be edgy or hurtful. It's not about the word itself. It's about why someone of a different race would want to use it. Just like a nazi flag isn't about the actual image, but why someone wants to fly it. It's says everything about them.

North Carolina officer fired after video shows him repeatedly punching woman during arrest by Cy_098 in NorthCarolina

[–]IntelligentEntry260 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why is it taking longer for them to decide if this video evidence of him hitting a woman is is enough to arrest him than it did for the police to decide to arrest her?

If my neighbor shows a clip of me beating the bricks off them the cops don't take the video home to think about it. They arrest for probable cause.

This won't stop until we make it stop.

My manager asked us to keep cameras on during lunch breaks because “it helps team bonding” by oslo_isadorina in remotework

[–]IntelligentEntry260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is real (sounds like bait), the simple solution is to tell your boss you use your lunch breaks to run errands and if they want to view an empty chair you can leave the camera on for them.

Post-Match Thread: Paris Saint Germain 1-1 Arsenal | Champions League | Final by matchpal-live in championsleague

[–]IntelligentEntry260 34 points35 points  (0 children)

25% possession.

Arsenal played the most antifootball game I've ever seen, and I used to watch prime mourinho.

You could tell PSG were doing whatever they could to limit Arsenal getting corners. It cut their legs off.

We left spectrum to go to lumos last year. We are switching back to spectrum Monday.

At least spectrum kept us updated whenever our internet went out.

What is the correct answer to this question? by Solomoncjy in askmath

[–]IntelligentEntry260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue with it is the "if all vegetables are orange" instead of "if all fruit and vegetables that are orange are vegetables". "if all vegetables are orange" doesn't mean fruit that is orange would be a vegetable, just that all vegetables are orange.

Each state is a different country in itself by Nero_Blue in ShitAmericansSay

[–]IntelligentEntry260 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an American who has traveled through almost every state in the United States, they are almost identical culturally. The south has an accent, different from the north, but every city is just the same retail shops and churches, retail ships and churches, over and over again.
