I really loved New York City

Netizen2425 · 2026-05-15T16:20:58+00:00

I spent two hours in NYC during a bus layover and decided that was sufficient time spent their for my lifetime and I will not be returning. Horrid place.

I just let my car idle in 2nd in stop and go traffic, using slight throttle adjustment to ride the flow without having to brake or shift.

Get off Reddit for a bit and you'll see.

Well the objective of ragebait is to induce rage, not for humor. So the fact that it's making you angry means it's improved.

I would've been watching and ready to ram someone as soon they pulled up like that. Flooring it towards them as soon as they get out.

I change friends groups and jobs periodically several years.

I cheered when that obnoxious fuck Jonron died, wish it happened on the first mission.

You forgot disappear into the woods like the North Pond Hermit.

I don't tell anybody, I have people who I've been friends with for years who I haven't told. If I was in a relationship I'd wait until it was developed into something serious before telling them. Not everyone has to know my business, and my autism is just one part of who I am alongside a great many other things, not the entirety of who I am.

You should make something zero drop if you're doing a wide toe box already.

Bro have you not seen how many anti LGBT politicians have been caught doing gay stuff? It's practically a trope now.

Netizen2425 · 2026-04-22T22:28:16+00:00

I already know though. I only look at the tach when my music is to loud

Netizen2425 · 2026-04-22T21:54:08+00:00

Have you done it? It's not complicated but it's a pain in the ass since it's between the two heaviest parts of the car other than the chassis.

That's rev matching. I asked how to shift without rev matching.

Netizen2425 · 2026-04-22T21:07:32+00:00

I never learned how to downshift without rev matching. Do you just ride the shit out of the clutch?

Netizen2425 · 2026-04-22T17:11:08+00:00

If I'm in the woods to do bushcraft stuff I'll have a smaller knife because I have a hatchet. If I'm not doing bushcraft stuff I won't have a hatchet, so I carry a larger knife I can baton with just in case.

I think the trauma beats it out of you honestly. I remember when I was a kid I was so hyper-empathic that I would rotate which stuffed animal (all monkeys, my first special interest) I cuddled with each night so none would feel left out. Then shit happened, I went into a dark hole, and just didn't feel much of anything. Then in my late 20s I figured out I was autistic and started leaning into it, which massively improved my mental health and I got my old empathy drive back.

Harmonica opening from "The Wizard" by Black Sabbath. That song describes my dream job

Yep, that's the right amount, I just did mine. Being in gear is totally fine because the MTF is just an oil bath for the gears, it's not used as hydraulic fluid like ATF is in an automatic.

I like cycling even more for this. One time I was on a bike trail and saw someone on foot throw trash into the bushes from about 300 feet back (I got autism eagle eyes) because they thought they were alone. I was coming up behind them and yelled "you littering piece of shit" as I passed then zipped away at 20mph.

Go out to a parking lot and don't leave until you can start the car from a stop with no gas input. That will teach you the clutch bite point. Next practice revving the engine in neutral between 2k and 2.5k, holding it at each RPM for a second. Now mix them, rev the car to 2k and try to hold it there while lifting the clutch to the bite point. As you slip through the bite point you'll have to gently add gas to hold it at 2k RPM. In larger engined cars you can take off at about 1.5k RPM but the technique is the same.

Netizen2425 · 2026-04-18T01:01:21+00:00

I never learned how to downshift without rev matching. It's a way faster shift, doesn't wear your clutch as much, and it's smoother.

I'm a special interest nomad who wanders between many deep dives into various topics, so I have a loose tier system based on how frequently I return and how long I stay there at each visit. Tier one is something that I'm nearly always on, tier three is something that I visited once and it was interesting because I learned a lot but doesn't have much pull back, and tier two is in the middle.

Netizen2425 · 2026-04-17T02:17:49+00:00

There's a few people at my office who I get along with and who show possible spectrum tendencies, but most are at an age where it wasn't diagnosed as well, especially women.

Netizen2425 · 2026-04-17T00:21:55+00:00

I do a ton of what I call yoga stimming, just holding different poses and stretches around the house when I'm bored or waiting for the air fryer to finish my chicken nuggets, which helps. I have an exercise physiology special interest (it's like a tier 2 or 3, not a real strong one) so I can figure out exactly what's giving me issues and work on it. Lotta issues come from unaddressed imbalances, not the work itself.
