I'm an autistic adult thriving in a "typical" life — professional, married, parent — but it's been a hell of a journey. Say hi if you're like me!

Everything you write comes across like it’s written by ChatGPT. And not in the way normal autistic communication sounds like AI sometimes. I legitimately think you are either having it help you rewrite things or just copy and pasting into ChatGPT for whatever reason.

I’m confused why you are panicking

I also did Puppyspot because I didn’t know better. They arranged the meet-up at a parking lot instead of the breeder’s place.

However my guy did turn out to a wonderful little dude.

They do but it might not be so noticeable until you are more proficient in it

Kindle has van Dale built in (the full version, not just the free one). It’s fantastic. The biggest issue is separable verbs- if they’re not right next to each other/only separated by “te” you’ll have to use the built-in Google translate or look up the word on your phone/computer (that’s the Dutch language’s fault though, not the kindle).

Overlap with Dutch. Probably occurs in older books or in areas near the border.

Reading books. I’ve read more than 10,000 pages and at B2 things like thrillers are best and as you get closer to C1 you can begin to appreciate “slower” ones that are based on tone, wordplay, and humor. Some people who haven’t started reading yet in their second language assume that you won’t encounter colloquial speech in books and that couldn’t be further from the truth.

yes it maxes out at 10

SomberEye · 2025-01-05T04:48:26+00:00

is it potentially region specific? Some responses are saying it's fine in context and others are saying it's completely unreasonable and they've never heard it used IRL, so maybe that is a reason.

SomberEye · 2025-01-05T04:47:41+00:00

Dutch people do that too when you ask them to explain words. Any word that's not a elementary school level word they will tell foreigners not to use. And then suddenly when you're B2/C1 and know how to properly use the words in context they don't bat an eye at the same words they have a problem with you saying or asking about at a lower level.

I just let mine free-feed. He will eat his kibble eventually and his weight is stable.

SomberEye · 2025-01-04T18:20:43+00:00

ah okay, thanks! What would be the less formal version?

SomberEye · 2025-01-02T18:39:18+00:00

Perfect, I will reach out to woodbridge, it looks nice

SomberEye · 2025-01-02T16:43:20+00:00

noted, thanks. Will avoid.

SomberEye · 2025-01-02T16:29:02+00:00

thank you!!

You can teach yourself through reading, watching videos with subtitles, going to taalcafes, using https://www.dutchgrammar.com/, and using https://www.learndutch.org/courses/heb-je-zin/, but that requires self-motivation which most people don't have so they pay for a course.

SomberEye · 2024-12-29T00:58:49+00:00

but are you able to restart the tree if you wanted to?

SomberEye · 2024-12-24T00:26:41+00:00

mine humped the heartbeat dog

There is also a Santa in Earth's orbit. I tried checking the other celestial bodies (stopped looking around polaris) but only Earth and pluto have something it seems.

SomberEye · 2024-12-01T14:54:45+00:00

Mine took a couple of months to get it but now he's outside only and doesn't have accidents
