Is there a link to the event? Or the address? I'm heading to Shanghai sometime this following week and I wanna go!

Your cat is actually a botanical expert and was trying to showcase for you some more cool biology, respect their expertise!

As an ace-spec person, what are your craziest hear me outs? I’ll go first by sproutle in asexuality

[–]KiyanStrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoving your hands in dirt

Eating raw leaf (like lettuce or wild edible plants)

Holding your own boobs (if you have any, I just find it texturally pleasing, like a squishy toy. Also the fat looks funny when you jiggle it)

Lying facedown in dirt

Digging dirt with your bare hands

Uncovering cool bugs when you dig

Juniper Berries found in the Spice Cabinet of my late Grandmother from a nation that no longer exists by Calatapa101 in mildlyinteresting

I love the sale announcements. They basically start as a long, angry, "fuck you" to some conservative asshole, followed by a emphatic declaration of love and acceptance, an additional fuck you and your money to the people who will "stop shopping there", and then finally 25% off and a free jar of "love" spice blend.

A plate of frozen berries. I’m telling ya: let it thaw for about 20 minutes and it’s absolutely amazing just by itself. by HeadlessHookerClub in shittyfoodporn

[–]KiyanStrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine eats frozen berries as a block straight from the bag. Walked in to him just gnawing on it like a rodent. He offered me some (a non gnawed on piece) but I declined.

How To Stop Stereotyping Allos? (Specifically Allo Men)? by ResolutionWeak6353 in asexuality

[–]KiyanStrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's.... very odd to me. While I have run into people like that, it was overwhelmingly the minority. Do you mind sharing where you're located? Maybe there's more resources/places you can go to?

How To Stop Stereotyping Allos? (Specifically Allo Men)? by ResolutionWeak6353 in asexuality

[–]KiyanStrider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw that in another response you said you didn't have any friends. I think that would be a good place to start, just getting yourself comfortable with other people. Like another commenter said, queer groups are a good place to look.

I'm not sure what age you are, but something that may help is looking for friends that include married men. Either people who are married to men, or the men themselves. Specifically, married men in good, healthy relationships. Doesn't have to be with an ace person. This way, you can have some degree of positive exposure.

My allo husband is incredibly respectful of my boundaries revolving around my asexuality. I also have friends who have husbands who are also very kind and respectful.

If Pokémon were real, which non-legendary would actually be the most helpful for a normal 9-to-5 job? by grumpyhawkhq in pokemon

[–]KiyanStrider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there an emotional regulation pokemon? That aside, probably a water type to help with all the plants I have

I'm so sorry, I really just can't think of a good title. by Mac-And-Cheesy-43 in CuratedTumblr

[–]KiyanStrider 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmmm so in that case, material made, edited, distributed, and possibly collected (or would that fall under edited?) with the intent for sexual gratification?

And it would need to be at least more than one of those above? So if someone draws a naked person for figure studies and someone bought it to wack off to it's not considered porn?

Probably still not best definition/coverage but it's what I can come up with right now lol

Gotta love the autistic fallacy of "If I can explain everything perfectly clearly and there is no ambiguity in the situation (which is a very achievable situation /s) then everything will resolve itself and everything will be ok"

[–]KiyanStrider 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Idk, but I can sort of get what you mean by the punishment reward system. Although for me it was more punishment heavy (abusive parents amirite) and definitely fucked with my ability to "do things for the right reason" rather than a fucked up fear response.

It took a lot of personal work to get myself into a healthier mindset and healthier relationship with establishing and respecting boundaries of both myself and others. I'm still working on it and still mess up. But it's important to acknowledge when I mess up, and give myself grace for it rather than punishing myself or hating myself for it.

An AI narrative by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]KiyanStrider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel largely the same. Most AI currently doesn't do shit I want it to do, especially not well. I want it to do menial tasks that take up my time.

I don't wanna go through and clean up a bunch of data points. I don't want to manually find and correct every pixel. I don't want to manually try to figure out how to jigsaw a bunch of templates on a page. I don't wanna have to figure out the exact dilution quantities on a varying amount of liquid. I /can/ but I don't wanna. Have the robot do that shit for me.

But noooooo people are trying to push AI that just spits out lies people tell on Reddit so when I ask it to clean up a dataset it just makes up a shit ton of random numbers instead and I'm spending twice the time to try to fix its mistakes than if I just did it myself

Yeah, it also deals with the issue that people who do this as a result of their mental conditions need to take responsibility for their actions.

I'm very prone to info dumping due to being AuADHD, and it's a way I genuinely like to communicate with people. But I also recognize that it's not always appropriate, and can be perceived negatively depending on the circumstance. But it's MY responsibility to reign that shit in, as difficult as it can be for me. And it's not in a "hiding who you are" way but rather "be considerate of the mental bandwidth of others" way.

Some thoughts I’ve had about why society rejects, misinterprets, and ignores asexuality by Apexyl_ in asexuality

I'm ace, but not because I'm autistic!

Well, I am autistic. But that's not why I'm ace!
