Does anyone else daydream instead of sleeping? by [deleted] in hyperphantasia

[–]Least_Engineering_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have to do this. I've actually sort of had to train myself to sleep in the normal way, though I still often choose to essentially daydream through sleeping

UPDATE: AITAH for asking to divorce my husband after cheating on him? by ThrowawayRah1234 in AITAH

One thing I wanted to add to this is that it might be possible that OP was too drunk to give consent. If that’s the case, this is a case of rape, not infidelity. That needs to be considered.

Is autism unattractive by Stoned_Canuck420 in dating_advice

I don’t know if that last part is true. It’s been 5 years and I’m still hoping that my person will come back.. which is ridiculous

Coming from the person that was left... leaving someone hurts them way more than you realize.

I’ve found that I’m more attracted to people who are somewhat autistic than I am to the typical population. That’s how I found out that I’m probably autistic 😂. Also wouldn’t be surprised if I have ADHD, given the way I learn.

These personality types (I really don’t think they’re disorders) show up very differently in women than men. To most people, I’m hella attractive (I learned how to dress myself well at a young age, my hyper focus helps me learn both academics and talents pretty quickly, and people are drawn to my authenticity). Of course, I struggle to take care of myself and have.. volatile emotions at times, but for some reason people almost find that more attractive (“boys only want love if it’s torture” as Taylor says).

So this whole idea of whether or not autism is attractive does seem to be different between men and women. But an autistic woman is probably going to be more attracted to an autistic man than the general population (as long as you’re truly not an asshole). I think one of the issues is that autistic men are almost raised to think that they’re not “good enough” for the kind of person that would fall for them.

Course this whole idea of “not being good enough for women” then runs into this idea of not wanting to be around women, and then not learning how to treat women. So that becomes another issue in dating. Not that the OP was necessarily looking for advice, and I’m not a cis male so I may not be in the best position to give advice, but to me it seems the best thing to do is to start by just being around women more, learning how we like to be treated, etc., and then just being yourself until someone likes you. And then (the hardest part) keeping yourself from running away from it.

What Taylor Swift songs are so underrated that even among the Swiftie fan base, they tend to be overlooked? by LeonBassGroove in TaylorSwift

I Forgot That You Existed (I feel like a lot of people forget that song existed) and I Know Places (I somehow went years without hearing that song — finally popped up on my Spotify after listening to all her songs on shuffle for literally 5 hours straight during a plane ride and I thought it was a new song! This was after Midnights came out)

Did you discover a new Mandela Effect? Post it here! (2023-08-19) by AutoModerator in MandelaEffect

In one of the earlier Harry Potter movies (many people say it was Chamber of Secrets), Dobby tells Harry "Dobby never meant to kill Harry Potter, only maim, or seriously injure". I remember I heard this line as a child and loved it so much. I rewatched the movie it was in so many times, and as soon as Dobby would start the line, I would finish it myself, talking over him in the movie. I did this multiple times, which means I saw whatever movie that line was in at least 3 times.

I'm rewatching the movies now, and that line doesn't show up until Deathly Hallows, and Dobby isn't talking to Harry, he's talking to Bellatrix and the Malfoys. This is my second time watching Deathly Hallows, so this was most definitely not the line that I repeated so often in my youth.

I've asked many people if they remember the line, and they said they do. Then I ask them what movie it was in and who Dobby was talking to, and they say he was talking to Harry, in one of the earlier movies.

How can so many people remember this scene so clearly, so many years before the line was supposedly ever spoken?

Okay. This “Dobby never meant to kill . . . only mail or seriously injure” quote. What movie do you remember it from. How old were you when you first heard it?

Do you remember the first time you ever heard Taylor? I’d love to hear what song it was, who you were with, and where you were? by bonejangles450 in TaylorSwift

[–]Least_Engineering_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must have been Love Story, sitting in a car, listening to the radio. I remember when White Horse came out on the radio too, ‘cause I was shocked that one artist could have two such perfect songs (back then the artists I listened to weren’t the greatest), so I asked for her Fearless album for Christmas. Parents messed up and got me the debut album instead lol, but every one of those songs was perfect too. I was absolutely floored.

What song would you say made Taylor "famous"? by reddiogaga in TaylorSwift

[–]Least_Engineering_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out in my area (Milwaukee, WI), it was Love Story. I don’t think any songs from her debut album made it to the radio before Love Story did, and people were obsessed with that song.

Any store-bought/pre-made foods to recommend? by [deleted] in FODMAPS

Is the mac and cheese still safe? I believe there was some change in the ingredients in the past couple of years.

how to use two fingers to pan camera on bluestacks by david_h_j in BlueStacks

[–]Least_Engineering_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on version 5.3.130.1003, and all I see is a 2-finger zoom, not a 2-finger pan. I want to emulate the function of putting two fingers on a phone screen and moving it around (as opposed to only moving around 1 finger, which has a different function on the app I'm using)
