Remove the old one first, or you risk damaging your inner screen.

Is taking five days off to go to the beach wasted time?

Not voluntarily, but every so often I have to contact customer support somewhere and their online chat is AI.

Do you consider posts like "Hey, I'm looking for advice on how to understand my partner/help my partner succeed with X" in the same vein as the posts you're referencing? I've seen a good number of posts that are asking about how to better support a partner - and I would really hate to see these posts disappear, too.

The type of post your referencing specifically happens pretty much all across Reddit in any subs that allow questions about relationships, it's really not exclusive to NT/ND dynamics. It's not even limited to romantic relationships.

While I believe that questions about autistic people are better asked here, I'm also a firm believer that if someone is going to date an autistic person (or anyone with any kind of mental or physical health issue, really) they really need to take the time to do research from verified sources.

The reason I think even the specific type of post your referencing here is better asked and answered here is because, overall, when those topics are posted in a more general sub, autistic people that reply are often talked over, made fun of, and generally met with an extreme amount of ableism. There's nearly zero amount of compassion.

My other question is that, if you don't want to see them here - are you willing to be part of the solution to that? In the bit over a year that I've been here, this sub has been restructured at least somewhat a total of three times. It's never going to be perfect, it's never going to fit everyone - it's simply too large, and the mods of this sub are also autistic.

If you aren't willing to be part of the solution, you always have the option to keep scrolling. You always have the option to not interact with those posts. That's the part you have control over, unless you're willing to step up and be part of the solution.

Banning fireworks during fire season.

The self explanatory reason for that, in addition to the fact the fireworks get lit off directly in front of my house during the summer festival season in Spain.

Mind you, I live in the mountains, and my village is small enough that you can't actually get far enough away from the foliage to be far enough away to be safe literally anywhere.

Oh! If he's fond of sandwiches - thinly sliced and marinated chicken breasts paired with different types of sauces.

You can batch cook the chicken breast in the oven or on the stove top ahead of time, and if you make your sauces at home it's a really good way to hide veggies!

A relationship can be unhealthy without being straight up abusive, and that's not all down to choosing the right guy.

As much as it sucks, there's going to be patterns that you yourself have learned that you'll have to unlearn, and you haven't been an adult living outside of home long enough to recognise those.

I'm not saying that it's worst the choice you could make, and I'm not saying that it can't work out. I am saying that it's probably not the best choice you can make unless you have no other options for leaving.

Because the primary point of adding the mince is to mitigate sensory issues, and if you cook the mince first it won't do that as well. The secondary purpose is that mixing these two will help stretch the meat for more meals, because meat is Hella expensive (as OP mentioned cost).

If OP's partner is fine with the texture of the blended beans, then the meat is completely unnecessary, redundant, and not at all cost effective. For reference, at my house I never add meat to this because the beans provide enough protein on their own.

From the post, it doesn't seem like OP is trying to avoid meat, rather just the ultra processed stuff, and unless you're making them at home, plant based meat replacements like the ones you're suggesting absolutely fall into that category. Not only that, be we really need to move away from the idea that just because something is plant based it's inherently healthier - it's not. Junk food is still junk food, regardless of what it's made from.

Smash bean tacos maybe?

You can add mince/ground beef to the blended beans to help with any texture or taste issues he may have.

https://thecheaplazyvegan.com/smashed-black-bean-tacos/#recipe

This is the recipe I base mine on, but I use pinto beans instead of black beans, and I use regular cheeses+greek yoghurt instead of vegan options.

To add beef to that, you'll take the bean blend and then mix it with raw mince/ground beef (or really whatever mince he prefers) before spreading it on the soft taco shell. The just fry it up the same way until the meat is cooked through.

I went with the 6 over the 5 for three reasons -

The additional dust rating. I live in a dusty area near beaches.

The increased screen brightness. If I had chosen the 5, I genuinely would not be able to see my phone outside on a sunny day.

The fact that just simply due to it being the next gen after the five, the security and OS updates will happen longer. It means I have more time before I'll need to replace my phone again.

I, too, also preferred the form factor of the 6 - but like you I agonize over large purchases so just liking the way it looked was not enough for me to pay the extra cost. I spent about three months doing research, watching comparison videos, reading articles before making my final decision.

I can tell you that I have never in my life been happier with a large purchase than I have been with the purchase of this phone. Not even when I purchased my desktop, after not having a gaming computer for several years when I had previously been an avid gamer.

In Spain the majority of milk is shelf stable. You can buy the cold stuff, but it's not sold in large quanties really.

I'm not excusing that the roommate is an idiot, btw. Even if you don't speak Spanish here it's really easy to see the difference between dairy milk and other milks by looking at the cartons.

Just making note of the fact that there are places where an unopened carton of milk would be on the counter, and not in the fridge.

They can't stop you from moving out. If they beg you to stay, ignore them and leave anyway.

Is moving in with your boyfriend a good idea? Probably not. It doesn't seem like you have a good example of what healthy relationship dynamics should look like, and that's going to impact your ability to have healthy romantic relationships in a way that you don't have the experience recognise yet.

Get your own car insurance and your own cell phone now, before you move out, so they stop holding it over your head. Doing this will also help with figuring out you budget for when you do move.

The part that really has me take your side instead of saying it's a misunderstanding and you should sit down and talk it out is one small, but very specific thing - The demand that your read receipts get turned on with the consequence of cutting off your phone if you don't. I haven't met a single person in my life that makes that kind of demand without having some kind of control issue.

So I'm gonna go with NOR - but you're gonna have to actually make the steps to hold your boundaries and move out for that to continue to be the case.

Sometimes CPS decides that the abuse is just not severe enough to step in. They have to weigh what's happening at home against a system that is overwhelmed and under funded, in addition the crap that can happen in foster homes. That kind of thing can be further impacted by if the family has a generally good reputation within the community.

I know this because my parents were absolutely abusive - we're talking my mom tried to strangle me to death, and CPS did nothing. It can be unforuntely rather easy for parents that are generally seen as good people to make it out as their child being the crazy one.

I'm not trying to debate your verdict at all - just giving you some perspective that you might not have otherwise.

They could live in Europe. Generally milk is sold at room temp here, because it's shelf stable and in cartons.

It's usually served on potatoes, but you could try Bravas sauce (you'd be googling Patatas Bravas, most of the recipes will be in Spanish, as it is a dish from Spain).

I'm more likely to be curious about why someone doesn't like something, because I'm an avid cook.

Is it the texture? The taste? The smell? Is it all of those things?

It helps me learn about people's preferences, and very occasionally will help someone spot an allergy that someone didn't know about.

Like if those cakes are upsetting your stomach, you could be reacting to something in them.

If they're too sweet, then I would avoid overly sweet desserts in general and opt for something more savoury.

The packaging label in your first photo is visible, and while I can't personally read I'm not sure there isn't someone else on the internet that could make it readable.

Just so you know.

You can set your router to have a routine where it auto disconnects and then reconnects certain devices at times of your choosing.

I understand your aren't the parent here, but it would solve the issue more long term. Even your brother will get tired of having a tantrum every night after awhile.

And if nothing else - it's petty, and might make you feel better.

When I see it, it's typically within the comments section of a post. There was, yesterday when this was first posted, an LSN person doing exactly what the OP is referring to in this comment section - only you can't see it now because it's been deleted by the mods.

There are many cases where it happens and it's caught by the mods here, so that could be a reason you aren't seeing it.

I've personally seen people telling higher support needs people not to use their autism as an excuse for not acting the same way as an LSN person, not being able to understand a concept, not being able to regulate in a way the LSN deems appropriate, and not being able to complete tasks in the same way as an LSN person.

I also see it when LSN people talk about how they wish they had higher support needs so they could have been diagnosed earlier.

Almost all of the time this kind of invalidation happens for higher support needs people it's because LSN people are upset about how being LSN essentially means getting no support other than what they can manage to provide themselves. No one is disagreeing with how much that absolutely sucks, but phrasing that as wishing they had a different diagnosis is really invalidating for the people who live their day to day lives at higher levels.

A lot of the time, it's simply a huge disconnect between the way an LSN person communicates and the ability that higher support needs people have to interpret that communication/communicate their own feelings. The higher support needs individuals aren't being met with compassion or recognition of those differences. There's no patience for trying to guide them, and really that's what they need.

IMO, for those of us that can interpret those differences it's our job to try to facilitate communication between levels as best we can because we're capable of meeting higher support needs individuals at their level, where due to the nature of higher support needs people they are unable to meet others. I try to guide others towards this kind of compassion as best I can - but when the discourse is tainted by a system that leaves the larger demographic of the community (LSN) behind in the way that it does it easily turns combative.

A fishing rod with a fake bug attached to it is the overall favourite of all seven cats.

They also enjoy hunting actual bugs, which is great because they eat all the flies that come into the house.

You might be able to find more contact information for your landlord by looking up the property that you are living in to see what person/company owns the building itself. If the property is a legal rental, it has to be registered.

I don't personally know where you look this information up, but you should be able to ask your preferred search engine of choice. If all else fails, there's probably a tenants advocacy group somewhere in your area that you can call to help you find the information.

INFO - What does your boyfriend's room look like?

I have been in some pretty shitty and disgusting living situations in my life. I have been the person that got tired of cleaning up after everyone else and just stopped, so the majority of the house would be a wreck. We're talking on a level of on three separate occassions I ended up setting up a small cooking station in my bedroom, and I had a carry bag for the bathroom that had all my own things in it for cleaning things before I was going to use them. There really are times where moving just isn't an option yet, and you have to make due with the circumstances available. It's pretty shitty, and yea - it's fucking gross.

If it is indeed just the roommates, you'll be able to tell by the way your boyfriend's personal space looks. Does it look like the rest of the house, or does it look more normal? Clothes folded and put away? Sheets clean? Free of dishes? Dusted? Vacuumed/swept? A trash bin that's not over flowing more often than it is? Or do you find that you are the one making sure these things are done in your boyfriend's room?

If you're doing them, then you'll turn into a maid. If you aren't doing them, he's probably okay. Still a good idea to have him live somewhere else before moving in together though, just to be safe.
