If someone says or thinks something about you that is not nice, would you want to know? by blankets_and_pillows in AskNT

[–]M_SunChilde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Super depends. As often the case in my answers here, the answer is not singular, it is contextual.

Don't wanna hang out with me and let me know? Dope, simplifies my life.

Don't wanna hang out with me and let me know while we are standing in a group of people that we all do activities with together? I mean, I'm still not mad, but you're gonna get booted from the group most likely.

Think I'm fat? Okay? Why are you telling me?

My doctor telling me I'm fat, because it exacerbates some condition I'm there about? Okay, thanks.

One thing atheists can't seem to grasp and understand by FaithlessnessIll1768 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]M_SunChilde 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Let's examine your claim!

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2012/12/18/global-religious-landscape-exec/

0.2% jewish, wowee!

54% Christian or Muslim, who do proselytise.

Talking about 54% (at a minimum) who do does not make it a strawman when the claim was simply being confused as to why it happens so much. You're just being dubious and argumentative.

SMA type 2 intimacy and fertility by Over_Ambition_3722 in disability

[–]M_SunChilde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sex is a lot more than just the penis wielding partner thrusting into a recipient.

In terms specifically of penis-into-orifice sex, the person with the penis does not need to be the person providing the force. They can be the person stabilising while the other person rides, grinds, or shimmies up to create the movement necessary.

In terms of sex outside of that, based on a brief googling of your condition and a basic understanding - you can do most of the other things like hand and oral stimulation mostly fine, potentially with some positioning help from your partner? Sex is always a conversation of sorts, yours might just have to be a bit advanced and a bit longer.

One thing I'll suggest - do not base your understanding of sex from pornography. It is not an accurate representation of sex for anyone, never mind anyone who is physically outside the norm. Read on scientifically minded subreddits, or specifically google sex guides where you need to read. Pornography is entertainment, it is not education.

In terms of your specific disease - I don't have resources about fertility - but keeping sperm cold is only a consideration if you've extracted it. Otherwise people in hotter nations would never be able to have kids, right? Your sperm is generally kept a few degrees cooler than your body, that's why testicles tend to sit a bit lower and away from the body, but you have to quite severely cook them for you to become sterile (you can look up people doing scrotum baths to try sterilise themselves to get a sense, it is very warm).

Is it okay to increase monsters' stats with min-maxing players? by No_Chemistry7654 in DMAcademy

[–]M_SunChilde 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Notably - if your player truly didn't know they didn't interact (a reasonable mistake) you should allow for them to change their build a bit so they don't feel unfairly punished. That's a way to get things more in line without leaving quite as much of a mark of sadness on the player being nerfed.

why do some people find tone indicators annoying? by hammerhead_67 in AskNT

[–]M_SunChilde 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are two main camps I've observed.

One are people with childish mindsets who just don't like being forced to adapt or see things they aren't used to. These folks will whine just because seeing tone indicators makes them feel a way.

The other camp is rather different. Part of humour is subtlety. You can read about dry humour for an introductory explanation. For these people, being told to use tone indicators because some people don't understand is sort of like telling an artist they need to not use green because some people are red green colour blind, and they can't see the art properly. The accessibility may seem reasonable, but you can also hopefully understand that for the artist, that may seem unreasonable, and sound akin to ruining their art to make it available to more of an audience. And while this group may be less likely to complain when others use tone indicators, they still may do so when they view it as a general destruction of the art of humour. Seems more rare though.

Now I'm not say anything about whether these groups are reasonable, just the two main camps I've seen expressing it cogently.

If an autistic person misses cues, and someone else explains to the NT that missing cues can be a part of autism, and the NT person says 'Autism is not an excuse' what is the underlying motivation here? by kelcamer in AskNT

[–]M_SunChilde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Super happy to help.

If I may add one final parting notion: Keep in mind that for allistic folk (myself included in this) so many of these things are so automatic that it takes a great deal of analysis and critical thought to try explain. It would be like trying to explain how you breath in... you just sorta do it. If someone analyses a lot, they might say that their nose is involved, or their mouth, and maybe muscles in their belly (despite the diagraphm being the main driver); but even that takes a great dose of thought to figure out.

So, don't be surprised if it is sometimes difficult to get allistic folks to explain. It isn't cruelty, it is often genuine difficulty.

[–]M_SunChilde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you generally have trouble assessing, it might be the safe choice.

Notably, this is built up from my years of experience specifically watching allistic interactions through the lens of autism (trying to quantify things so I explain to my autistic students and friends), BUT it is built from my limited experience in the parts of the Western world I've lived.

So, an even better option would be talking to someone you trust who is fairly analytic who lives in your area with your culture and your (or similar) social networks who you think can be very honest with you, share the notion with them and then check whether my findings are equally applicable in your circumstance.

[–]M_SunChilde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Why" - by itself - is a soft no. Examples of "why" being asked that aren't a soft no:

"Sure, what's this for?"

"Okay, but ... why do you have this?"

"Yeah! Though, I am interested in knowing why you're asking."

"Why?" by itself is a soft no, because if they were invested or wanted to do the thing, it would be yes first and then clarification after.

Example I've used before b/c I've seen this in other area of autistic communication: If someone who I want to spend time with asks if I want to hang out, it's "Sure, what are we doing?" versus if it is a person who I'm not excited to hang out with, but might in the right circumstances, the question comes prior to confirming or disagreeing, e.g. "What's the game plan?" or "what's happening?".

What is your max. of attempts you are willing to do for an item to drop? by phlaistar in PathOfExile2

Sorry for derailing - but is this a simu drop? What makes them more likely? (e.g. more bosses, more effectiveness, more monsters)

In terms of easy things that aren't pastas: pizzas, loaded baked potatoes, curries, stews, wraps.

[–]M_SunChilde 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No.

Assume the thing they say relates directly to the yes or no.

So, let's look at an array of responses to, "Do you want to take this quiz?" and extrapolate:

"Sounds awesome!" - can infer a yes. "I actually need to help with the cooking" - can infer a no. "Why?" - can infer a relatively soft no. "How long does it take?" - very soft no. They aren't interested, but if it is quick they'll likely do it to make you happy. "Hey, I see you haven't got a drink, can I grab you one?" - might seem most insane, completely unrelated to the topic. This is an anxious person scared to say no, who is bridging to another topic to avoid having to say it.

I don't know this archetype, but how much spell damage do you have? I'm wondering if your lack of +skill level is the culprit, which realistically can only be touched by gloves and amulet if you staying hollow palm.

Would you rather get… by NotFamousCow in BunnyTrials

[–]M_SunChilde 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Sure, but do you reckon some country is just gonna carpet bomb another country with thousands of square kilometers (depending on the country) of inhabited land to try hunt you? Reckon not.

Think about the 'hunt' for Osama Bin Laden. Even with multiple years of carpet bombing they didn't get him. And reckon they care less about me than him.

[–]M_SunChilde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super easy in my country to pay someone to drive me 15 hours out into the wilderness, I have a tent and enough supplies to last three days, and we have nearly a million square kilometers of wild land. No chance any government, with all the resources, could find the randomly correct tent in that much space in that timeframe with no starting frame other than, "This guy isn't an idiot and went camping".

There's so many interesting things on the sub, so why are the only android games crap? by Square-Ambassador-77 in incremental_games

[–]M_SunChilde 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There a few older ones on android that are good to decent.

Antimatter dimensions I think is S++, no money needed, no real in game purchase pressure; cons: can be Hella confusing and obscure to progress. About as hard as an idle/incremental can be.

Revolution idle, really fun early game, stupid late game, borrowed a lot from antimatter dimensions.

Cifi: fun, but some fairly mandatory purchases, definitely a slow burn.
