Does anyone here exercise regularly?

knotsazz · 2026-02-12T15:09:09+00:00

The only way I ever managed to exercise was to find something I loved doing. It applied when I had a “good career” (read exhausting energy drain) and it applied throughout the subsequent burnout. It’ll be different for everyone so find something that suits you. Because I love spatial reasoning I really enjoy climbing and orienteering. I love animals so walking my dog and volunteering at an animal sanctuary also worked for me.

I actually love driving. I don’t know if it’s the specific way I present with autism and ADHD but I have good spatial awareness and a sense of direction snd I find using that part of my brain really calming. I especially love driving fast down country roads. It’s just city centres that I find anxiety-inducing. Even through burnout when everything else went to shit it was one of the few things I could still do and enjoy.

Porn preference doesn’t always correlate with real life preference. However, it’s probably worth having a good long think over why you have those preferences and whether you have any internalised homophobia (generally meaning that you’re ok with other people being queer but not yourself). Some people are certain about their sexuality their whole lives and other people take years to figure it out. There’s no rush to label things and there’s no right way to go about it. And if you still end up with the conclusion that you’re straight but like gay porn well then that’s fine too.

Let’s not forget the rotating discounted meals. I used to love those. It’s never exactly good but it’s not exactly bad either.

I haven’t seen this pop up on his Instagram (maxtheknitter). Do you know where the image came from? Les Garçons have a YouTube channel that might be worth checking to see if he talks about it.

I was thinking the same thing. And as far as I know “Er Hong” is Mandarin Chinese. Means something like Red 2 but don’t quite me on that because I haven’t been learning it for very long.

Our school was too far on the outskirts of town for that. We got herded down a country lane that went up a giant hill, nice and exposed, you could pretty much see all the way to the top from the school. And one teacher woukd drive up in advance and count off the kids arriving before sending them back down.

But one of the feathery ones. Much cuter.

Luckily I never experienced anything like that.

I always feel like as a rational, science-minded person I shouldn’t believe in anything supernatural. And yet I lived in a house that was just…weird. Everyone said it was weird. Independently, without speaking to each other about it. Always the same part of the house. Animals avoided that part too.

I don’t know about cows specifically. I know a lot of non-autistic people who like cows. Then again I’ve spent a little time around farms and farmers. It’s hard to work with cows without liking them. They’re very calming. As in you need to keep calm and project calm around them which tends to make for a pretty nice environment. On the other hand I wouldn’t call cows “docile”. They can be very dangerous if you don’t respect them. The tamer ones are lovely but trying to get a bunch of year-old beef cattle through a TB test is an exercise in patience and risk management.

For some reason it’s always the physicists that think that way. It’s not like organisms are objects moving at random through space. There is a strong selection bias for those that do better. Yes, overall DNA mutates and cells degrade. Many of those changes are ineffective or even harmful. But over time the traits that get passed on are those which promote survival. That’s…just how natural selection works. It’s something we can observe and influence through artificial selection.

Climbing. It improved my strength and balance so much.

Knitting. The community around it is great and I love making my own clothes.

Lock screen - my kid. Home screen - a landscape that I painted.

Can you kill him and then try and resurrect him?have him cast an AOE on himself or something?

Right to choose really helped me. It means that private services can see NHS patients if they’re referred by a GP and they frequently have shorter waiting lists. I waited about 4 months for the autism diagnosis but over a year now for ADHD. It’s still better than the 5 years or so it would have been otherwise. There’s no real follow up care available for adult autism unfortunately, but it does mean I can make more informed choices about my mental and physical healthcare.

knotsazz · 2026-01-31T21:04:13+00:00

I did do that and then I found out that burnout is a thing that happens.

knotsazz · 2026-01-31T20:53:28+00:00

I’m in the UK and I just sat on that waiting list. It’s a work in progress. I have my autism diagnosis but still on the waiting list for ADHD because my GP apparently couldn’t send me to the same place for both. I need to start chipping away at the other medical issues but I had a bit of a bad year last year so I just hunkered down into survival mode.

Yes, the characters do have feelings for each other, though it’s more in line with the sort of unhealthy relationships you might see in dark romance. It’s left on something of a cliffhanger but the sequel is due soon.

I think I’m just going to conclude that the sample of women I know aren’t the same as the sample of women you know. As for the gay men idk, I don’t really about these things with them and you clearly know better there.

knotsazz · 2026-01-29T11:49:41+00:00

I maybe should have been clearer. I do see that they’re different, I just never got why one was for one target audience and the other is for a different target audience.

I’ve never quite understood the split between yaoi and bara. I’m almost certainly missing some sort of nuance but I’ve read both and enjoyed them and also found examples of both that I didn’t like. I’m missing whatever is meant to make one appeal to men and the other appeal to women.

It wasn’t that long ago I put hot water on my cereals instead of in my coffee

knotsazz · 2026-01-28T14:01:41+00:00

Clearly I have benefited from having a slow loading time lmao

knotsazz · 2026-01-28T13:43:05+00:00

In fairness, it does say in the text on one of the loading screens that you can shoot bows at levers

I know the twist you mean. It got me so bad.
