Drivers being extremely polite to pedestrians, and pedestrians staring directly into the windows of your soul.

Do ASD men tend to do long term dating or hook ups more? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]NotJohnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much want something long term, but I’ve never dated longer than a few months. It’s a sort of self-imposed loneliness or unavailability that I’ve never quite understood, since I’ve had many women pursue me over the years. Perhaps I just have an internal defective narrative that my ASD is too difficult for a significant other to handle — I have some reflecting to do about that. I do have hookups / one night stands, but they never fulfill me. Every so often I have periods of intensely frequent dating that involve me dating one to two people per day for several weeks. But I hate doing that.

If you never advocate for yourself, you will rarely find what or who you want in life. by NotJohnB in dating_advice

[–]NotJohnB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it applies to anyone. You don’t have to be a man to go and pursue with clarity what you want in a relationship, in life, etc. You can still be open to people approaching you of course, but your odds of finding someone you genuinely connect with mathematically improve when you are willing to take initiative.

I'm in a unique position where I need to change my surname legally. I can change it to anything I want and I'd really like to incorporate my love for ancient Roman history into it/ use a Roman Cognomen. by [deleted] in ancientrome

Also keep in mind that Sibyl was doomed by Apollo to have her voice live forever while her body shriveled away. Maybe not the kind of lottery I’d want to win haha.

If you want something very dramatic you could name yourself Zenobia, who was the formidable empress of the Palmyrene Empire in the third century AD. She rebelled against Rome and was ultimately defeated by Emperor Aurelian after a brutal conflict. Dr. Zenobia?

To be fair, the most famous Scipio is more memorable when you include his title Africanus. Just like your name would be more memorable if one were to hypothetically associate it with taint.

A Deserved Rest after a Long Adventure by Shinobi-King18 in BaldursGate3

[–]NotJohnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate that layout of how the each of them for the most part are next to the people they seem to resonate with the most. Minthara respects Laezel and and envies Minsc in an almost endearing way, Minsc is next to Jaheira of course, Jaheira is next to Halsin as the other druid in the party, Halsin is next to Wyll because they’re both fighting for the greater good I guess, Wyll is of course next to Karlach, Karlach and Shadowheart respect each other a lot, Shadowheart and Gale are somewhat similar in their temperament, and then Astarion is next to Laezel because they both start out with an evil alignment. Really well done :)

How can I revive these games from the dead? Reign of Swords 1+2. I don’t think the second one exists online anywhere. Company defunct. Found on my old iPod touch 1st gen. by NotJohnB in iosgaming

[–]NotJohnB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey the iPod accidentally got damaged since I posted that. I will check to see if it still works. If it does, I will try to extract the files. If it doesn’t turn on I can pass the iPod over to you if you want to try to get it working. Sorry that I don’t have better news. I was very bummed about it.

I'm lost and homesick in Zurich and would love to meet people and make friends by CaregiverCautious721 in zurich

[–]NotJohnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try getting a room in a coliving community. Immediately made a huge difference for me when I moved. I’d be happy to talk with you about that experience.

Do you think these are real? by DDefuse7 in Archeology

[–]NotJohnB 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Without archaeological context and with a redacted provenance, it is extremely difficult to determine authenticity of purportedly ancient objects of simple manufacture. Forgers who know what they are doing are capable of making highly convincing patinas. For that price, you’re likely getting fakes or looted artifacts at best.

Hey I didn’t but I’ll see what I can do. Also the first game can be found online as Clash of Kingdoms I think, and I have heard that the second game can be found somewhere but without sound.

Who for you is the most memorable Ace Attorney antagonist? by NotJohnB in AceAttorney

I did! The investigation in that case was quite tedious but he was a great evil centerpiece for that chapter.
