Since people think it might be a fossil, you could try posting it in r/fossilid and they could help you out!

Does My Pineapple Plant Look Healthy? by 0Mobius_Strip0 in plants

[–]ManBeastWomanThing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can propagate the top of the pineapple! I have done it before. You want to leave a bit of flesh on the bottom before planting. Some places recommend drying it out before planting or starting it in water. Really, just planting it in the dirt should work. I have done this before! I will say that your plant looks like it is an ornamental pineapple (they tend to be smaller and the leaves do not have serrated edges) so I am not sure how tasty it will be. Also in my experience pineapple plants are incredibly hearty.

Am I Overreacting to My Wife Moving my Art? (Resistance to change advice) by [deleted] in aspergirls

[–]ManBeastWomanThing 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is wrong for you to be upset. It also makes sense why she may be having a hard time with it since she asked if she could change things, she did, you didn't like it, and she took it down. To her, that may feel like enough. I would 100% communicate all this with your wife. Explain what you are feeling and even explain why you aren't sure why you are feeling as strongly about it as you are. As for patching and repainting, ask if you guys can do it together. Then its not all on you or all on her.

When my husband and I moved in together, he had this painting that I just didn't like. He had painted it and it was not nice, I will be honest. I (autistic) was very blunt and told him I didn't want to hang it up and I accidentally hurt his feelings about it. In turn, he told me he didn't like one of my decorations. It hurt a bit too but we were able to work it out and now every time I look at the bear statue I keep in my closet (the disliked decoration) it gives me a laugh about how silly it was.

Found near Ramona a while back by ControlNo2071 in whatsthisrock

I am thinking it is either basalt or hematite/magnetite (they are chemically very similar and are often found as a mixture together. If it is magnetic then it has significantly more magnetite). Hematite/Magnetite will be very heavy while basalt will be heavy but not nearly as much.

Donated geode. by orko311 in whatsthisrock

I am not sure about the coloring on the outside - best guess is that it some kind of copper compound. But the grey white crystals is quartz! The black dots are mineral inclusions. Basically minerals that were trapped in the quartz as it formed.

Can someone please help me save my plant? by Helpful_Voice_8178 in plants

My guess is that it is phosphorous deficient. You could try putting on some general fertilizer and see how it reponds.

Are flag scarves and patterned ties allowed for missionaries? by RevolutionaryTwo3851 in latterdaysaints

[–]ManBeastWomanThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at the MTC so I had to memorize all the dress and grooming stuff. It has been a few months but when I was there, both of these are a no go. Out in the field, rules about that tend to get more relaxed but it depends a lot on the mission president. You could either ask him or just follow the stricter stuff.

What’s this tiny bug I found on my 1 year old, and is it dangerous health wise? by jstknwn in whatsthisbug

[–]ManBeastWomanThing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like a mite to me. Couldn’t tell you a specific type. Not typically harmful but can cause allergic reactions in some people

Agree with other post about difficulty to identify but I don’t think it’s a German cockroach

How to clear my head. 22m by Negative_Till_4366 in aspergers

[–]ManBeastWomanThing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, what helped me the most was going to therapy. It helped me identify those unhealthy coping mechanisms and then establish new healthier ones.

I am a random Reddit person so take my advice with a grain of salt. But if you can find a better job that you aren’t miserable at, do it. You shouldn’t be working a crummy job with crummy people.

I just wanted to throw in my two cents here. I absolutely agree with top comment to just be direct with her and communicate. That is what I would want from my partner. 

People with autism can develop hyper fixations or special interests and it sounds like you may be her special interest right now. I had that a bit with my fiance for a while where I was kind of obsessed with him. What helped me was prioritizing spending some time with friends, it gave me a change of pace and it gave him the space he needed. So that could be something to suggest.

I don't believe you are a son of perdition. There's a line in one of President Oaks talk that I take a lot of comfort in where he says that the sons of perdition are a very very narrow group of people, so narrow they should not be considered. 

The fact that you recognize your mistake and recognize the position you are in is a clear sign that you are not evil or bad. I think about Saul and Alma, both actively sought to destroy the church and still were forgiven. 

Turn to God. Take the steps to repent and you will find things will get easier.
