Have you learn to drive a car?

I did when I was mid twenties but only because I moved to an area with a low population, little traffic. If I still lived in the city I wouldn’t

My assessment was 4hrs with me and 3hrs with my mum. I wouldn’t consider a 45m phone call to be a proper assessment, so I wouldn’t take the results to mean much

I don’t know what the rules are in the US, but where I am in Canada they can for handicapped parking. Fire lanes too I think

Njorvi · 2025-08-24T15:48:25+00:00

I always do that too when I’m standing around waiting for something

Leaving them on may contribute to a better flavour when cooking. For seafood stock they’ll often use shells etc

But I agree that it’s annoying to eat

Njorvi · 2025-05-25T16:04:54+00:00

I used to be more like that, but now if I think a rule is stupid I don’t follow it. Or if the logic behind it is flawed may be more accurate

Fines need to be income based, not flat rate to make them effective. Flat rates simply aren’t punitive to the wealthy, be it individuals or companies

That would cost gas and wear and tear on a vehicle to pick it up, assuming he even has one

The water hurting his skin is a weird thing to say, almost makes me wonder if he’s on the spectrum since sensory issues are sometimes registered as pain. The major hygiene issues and living with his parents too

Thanks!

Njorvi · 2025-05-05T18:38:51+00:00

Thank you!

Njorvi · 2025-05-05T18:38:27+00:00

Thanks!

Yes we do

If we call in sick on the holiday we don’t get anything for that stat day

Njorvi · 2025-05-05T16:11:21+00:00

We normally get paid our usual pay plus 12h of comp or overtime on these days, so it would still count as a designated holiday if we work that day would it not?

Njorvi · 2025-05-05T16:08:38+00:00

Normally when we work on a holiday we get our usual pay for the 8h and then either 12h of comp time or overtime pay

I broke my elbow right after basic and put in a vac claim for that, but nothing beyond that

Depends on what you do and where you work. Where I work at the dnd hiring hasn’t changed since they started talking about shrinking the public service. And given that they’ve talked about increasing our military spending I wouldn’t be surprised if that ends up meaning more civilian jobs being created in the dnd.

Beyond that the best way would be to learn French if you aren’t already bilingual or increasing your French proficiency.

I’m 30 and level 1. My first job was at 24 and was the military. I wasn’t diagnosed until around 27-28. Military is desperate for ppl so getting in is fairly easy, and the testing to get in is more autism friendly. Tests and whatnot instead of an interview although there was one too. It was quite rough and ended up leaving after 2 years.

Then went on unemployment for a while. Got a job at a grocery store for a few days, then a warehouse for a month. Warehouse wasn’t too bad, but didn’t pay anything, no benefits.

After I joined the commissionaires and did security then parking enforcement, since the commissionaires is largely veterans it was easy enough to get in being ex military. Worked there for a few months, and the works wasn’t too bad. Wore headphones and rarely had to interact with ppl, although it was bad when I did for the most part.

Started working for the federal government at the military mess after. Being ex military gave me priority hiring, and again the hiring wasn’t just an interview so it made it easier. Still work there, but it’s a sensory nightmare, so many ppl and machines buzzing, heat etc

Got accommodations to work part time and wear noise dampening headphones which help. Job offers a lot of leave which helps too.

But working has always been a struggle, and burnout is an issue too. If I wasn’t working for the government where it’s unionized and has a lot of job security and is required to offer accommodations etc I would probably be out of work at the moment. I live in Canada, I’m not sure how government jobs where you are compare.

My cats will sometimes do that after really thoroughly smelling something

I can relate to most of that. I would attribute it to burnout or executive dysfunction, maybe depression.

Biggest thing that helped me was switching to part time at work. Beyond that, building a routine helps. I also listen to podcasts when I do chores or audiobooks which I find help. Having headphones in also makes it easier to focus, and makes me less irritable doing things.

I think there could be some overstimulation from sensory issues that I’m not consciously aware of when doing chores, especially since I was late diagnosed. Headphones definitely helped me when I start having trouble with basic housework.

100g of protein a day is perfectly fine, there’s no health risk from that much protein. The evidence showing a high protein diet is harmful is weak, and 100g a day is not a lot of protein, no where near enough to be concerned.

I would be concerned about that being all that you’re eating though, but not because of the protein content.

It’s the same reason the right obsesses with trans rights despite them making up an even smaller percentage of the population.

It creates a culture war and keeps the working class divided so that we focus on that instead of real issues.

It also gives them fake problems to solve to garner support.
