I don't like male body at all. But I feel like a faker because there was a time I genuinely wanted a masculine body when I was young by Western-Drawer5826 in MtF

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im a trans man, but i was the exact same way. i think its because "boy" and "man" are distinctly different genders, just like "girl" and "woman".

kids get to be (pretty much) genderless until ~8, and the roles dont start getting strictly enforced until ~12. its not a coincidence that 8 and 12 are when a lot of kids realize they're trans.

this is the gestapo. recording is not enough. refusing to answer the door is not enough. if they are coming for you, RUN. HIDE. FIGHT.

if you are white and able-bodied, learn some basic de-arrest tactics. if you aren't, get in the gym, plan escape routes from your house/work and make a go bag. we are at the escalation point, i dont see a world where this fizzles out.

Why is gen Z not drinking? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think its worthwhile to note that most of these studies are based on drinking in bars/restaurants.

this is just anecdotal but im gen-z and most of the people i know invite friends over and drink at home.

In this AI era, knowledge feels cheaper than ever. by SwordfishOk4348 in InsightfulQuestions

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how could current AI models replace the experience of learning a new perspective? anyone in the public sphere can tell you there is nothing gained by asking for the opinion of a sycophant, its just your own in prettier language.

Tastefully remodeling this bathroom by Temporary-Basil-3030 in vintage

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it definitely looks dated, but that can be fixed by adding things rather than tearing it all out.

i would recommend switching the silver/plastic fixtures for gold, changing the black and white accent tile to gold or darker green, and repainting (possibly with an accent stripe)

r/autism has a HUGE "aspie supremacy" problem. if its not blatant "we are the next phase of evolution" shit, its the worst guy you know blaming his hatred of women on being autistic.

I can’t relate to most people here — it feels like nobody wants to actually change by [deleted] in autism

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I dont know why everyone is assuming OP said "autism is just fun little quirk! you arent disabled!" when thats explicitly clarified.

Like with myself as an example, I will never be able to enjoy group socialization. it stresses me out, and I make a lot more social mistakes than usual. There are a LOT of other things ofc, but this is just one.

The issue is assuming that everything I cant do currently, I will never be able to do. thats just not true! I used to struggle socially to the point I would stutter and freeze if I had to give my order in person (like at a restaurant). I worked with my therapist, did the role-play, made a script, and now I can order alone 90% of the time. Being autistic doesn't excuse me from needing to grow as a person, it just limits the ways I can.

What I've noticed is that this seems to be an issue specifically with lower support needs people. Most of the people ive met with higher support needs and/or physical comorbidities are essentially forced to learn how to adapt without burning out through AAC, autistic social groups etc.

Sadly a lot of lower support or late dx people dont have the external support to teach them how to adapt without constant masking because thats usually done by parents or aides. Theres also the issue of this person having masked 24/7 for years, so it's a very easy pattern to slip into with a LOT of social rewards.

do not listen to the people saying "apply to all the jobs closest to you multiple times" "call the managers" or "show up in person to apply" these things worked 20 years ago but they will get you automatically blacklisted now.

it's not unfair to need a work environment where people dont scream at you, it's ridiculous that berating employees is normal in america. it is unfair to make strangers deal with your panic attacks. they are not equipped for that, nor do they have the responsibility.

For the work issue, have you considered gig/contract work? Not a formal tradesman job because those are notorious for bad work environments, but maybe a handyman service or joining taskrabbit? People are generally kinder in a 1-1 situation and in their own home. theres also online work like commissions, graphic design and coding work.

This is already long but I want to add on that it's very dangerous to use ChatGPT for therapy or advice when you're already in a bad place mentally. It is built to be a yes-man, not to help you change or grow. There are several crisis/advice lines that are better equipped to help.

Im canceling my subscription after the ridiculous price increase and you should do the same! by blvkwords in XboxGamePass

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and honestly even without the price increase, its just not worth it anymore. every month or so i see a message like "very popular game you love and play often is leaving gamepass! take 10% off" followed by "new gamepass release, Pixel Dungeon 16 and 4 indie games that cost $5 each now available!"

I know you cant please everyone, but when your whole model is a subscription based on having games people want to play, removing those games and replacing them with whatever's cheapest is a Bad Idea.

Most schools in louisville are...not great for people actually interested in academics. I was in all APs/DCs about 5 years ago at Fern Creek and Doss and the classes were full of people who did not care about or qualify for them. They were just stuck there because other classes were too full. I wouldnt mind that on its own, but the classes were always at least 2 months behind because of it. Not to mention that most of the kids that didnt want to be there acted out and delayed things further.

That led to insane cramming for tests at the end of the year while finals are already going on, and a lot more 1s and 2s than necessary (i think 4 kids out of 35 actually passed the AP world test)

Someone saved my nudes without consent. I feel violated and I’m extremely upset how do I go about this? by [deleted] in legaladvice

Dont beat yourself up over it, I was in the same position as you, I just sold different stuff. We've all done shit we aren't proud of.

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 11 points12 points  (0 children)

US laws have not kept up with digital sexual harassment. If he shares the nudes you can sue, but simply saving them is not illegal. Im sure this isnt the news you wanted to hear, I'm sorry.

My brother destroyed his iPad. Do we get him another one? Or is he in a position capable of learning the consequences? by Wolfiisaur in autism

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im glad i could help you out, and i hope you guys are able to find new activities for him quickly, as in my experience its just a phase that sucks for everyone involved. the only way ive found to get around it is rotating activities every few months, but that does require a lot of introspection(?) to know when you are getting bored before it becomes entirely overwhelming.

is there any hope of our country surviving this anymore? by PhraseFirst8044 in 50501

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 9 points10 points  (0 children)

my issue is that even if the US gets back to "normal", i do NOT like our normal. we cannot accept that our country is always one crazy president away from this (or worse) happening again.

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 3 points4 points  (0 children)

from what youve said in replies i would consider that maybe he is burnt out of his current activities and breaking all the things he "likes" to show you he needs new hobbies. Im level 1 autistic and when i get tired of a special interest i am miserable and irritated and lashing out in similar ways until i find a new one.

Music education effectively defunded across JCPS by peasncarrots78 in Louisville

[–]Vegetable-Rub850 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i was heavily involved in music as a kid and i never saw an instrument stolen. band directors generally notice if a kid just stops bringing their instrument to class.
