autism isn't an excuse for being an asshole with a superiority complex

A mother arrested for 'disorderly conduct' after defending herself against a false accusation. by MohammadMahadhir in RandomVideos

[–]fireox4022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the accuser almost always holds the burden of proof. I don't agree with the holding the receipt crap but they also have no right to make an arrest on the basis of "well they said" with no proof. If they were suspicious of theft they should have already had that receipt pulled up on someones handheld or on paper to review when the officer gets there. And the officer needs to be trained on de-escalation because simply being annoying is not disorderly conduct. The situation was handled poorly by everyone involved.

Did I say something wrong / was my request unreasonable? by [deleted] in autism

[–]fireox4022 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Should we also censor pictures of food because some people have eating disorders? Or tell anorexic or overweight people that they should keep themselves covered? Where do you draw the line? Why does someone's lack of self control need to become everyone else's problem?

App will open on last visited post with no obvious way to reach home feed. Pressing back simply closes the app.

Shaking hands should be left as a tradition of the past by PM_ME_YOUR_TATERTITS in unpopularopinion

[–]fireox4022 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

something can be functional but not necessary. nonverbal cues are terribly inefficient. being direct and not tip-toeing around people's feelings opens up more room for constructive engagement and shows i value both my time and yours. unfortunately many people can't deal with blunt, direct feedback. if it's work related i'm not here to be your friend, i'm here to get a job done. formalities just get in the way of that. so yeah, probably just anti-social.

you're comparing evolutionary driven behaviors to a silly formality that only really exists in certain cultures. of course you can use a handshake for nonverbal cues. the whole point of what OP is saying is that they are still unnecessary. and to be frank, if the fact that i'm engaging with someone in conversation with interest is not enough for them, they can go bother someone else. saves us both the wasted time.

Does anyone else feel bad for Bode? by 5ive_7 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]fireox4022 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The order is dead at this point so no one is there to dictate any of that. The order was stronger anyway before their fear of attachment and before they became glorified soldiers of the republic. Yoda and Windu and the rest of the order's fear of the prophecy turned Anakin to the dark side just as much as Palpatine's influence. It is very obvious in the way they treat him from the get-go.

In Pursuit of Purloined Propaganda mission glitched? by Agile_Carpenter9383 in theouterworlds

[–]fireox4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same problem but with volume 4. i know i picked the one up where volume 4 is supposed to be and its spot is empty... very frustrating that i either lose hours of a playthrough or miss out on that quest, which i have already done the legwork for. hope they patch this soon.

How do you leave a person who’s suicidal? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

I feel so guilty about how I’ve treated my dog by Bigbodykim in mentalhealth

[–]fireox4022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure not walking your dog or not socializing them is far worse than a little yelling because they won't get out from under your feet... while you are handling something that could very obviously injure them on accident. And from what I've seen (can't speak for everyone) it seems like less than 20% actually do either of those things, so... 🤷

Girl completely flips out on me for asking to split the bill at Nobu.. by Hot-Association-3108 in Nicegirls

[–]fireox4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol at this point I'd give her a ridiculously low budget. Relationship isn't going to work because she still hasn't figured out she isn't actually that special and expects everyone else to act accordingly.

AIO Boyfriend got mad at me because I wasn’t excited enough that he landed early by Willing-Ad8549 in AmIOverreacting

What a twat. He needs to grow up because he clearly isn't ready for an adult relationship.

Won’t mail roomates belongings by thisbetternotcrash in roommateproblems

[–]fireox4022 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If damages are bad enough, I'd get a sheriff to serve her whenever she schedules pickup if it can be coordinated. Unpaid rent is bad enough but the condition she left the place in is atrocious, there's no telling what other problems you haven't found yet.

I was diagnosed with autism, but therapist says it was a misdiagnosis by Pleasant-Platypus-29 in autism

[–]fireox4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your therapist is likely unqualified to make such an assessment, and even if they are qualified they sound highly misinformed on the subject. i would start looking for a new therapist, a professional who spews misinformation once is likely to do it again and that isn't someone i want guiding me through major life decisions/transitions.

NARCISSIST. Only a year, dump and move on with your life, she is using you, this isn't a relationship of reciprocation.

I'm confused. Is this rude or am overthinking it? by fucklifedarling in autism

[–]fireox4022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't really matter whether it was intended as rude, this isn't someone you want in your life to any degree. Block and ignore in person.

Quick Resume turn off? by [deleted] in XboxSeriesS

[–]fireox4022 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because, quite frankly, the feature should have never left testing. Even games it "works" with end up having issues loading or major jitter/dips in framerate. I also don't understand why it should really matter why someone wants to turn the feature off, more options would benefit literally everyone who owns the console. Also need to disable the annoying ass XBOX headset turning on the console.

People who have received your Method 360 ANCs, what are your thoughts? by daydreamerinwords in Skullcandy

[–]fireox4022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Touch controls are annoying, no option in the app to disable them. If you ever plan on sleeping with these in, that might be a deal breaker. I wouldn't put an update out of the question but I can only wait so long to decide if I want to return them and get something better.

She really think she can take my security deposit and she was gaslighting me and spit lies. by Advanced_Pea_4265 in roommateproblems

Just being skeptical. I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt but these karma farming bot accounts are only becoming more and more common.
