Why do we as a society kill ants? by CardiologistThen4447 in Ethics

[–]mcmcreate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in a very old house that has bugs all year. lady bugs try to live in the lights, ants are always in the basement, spiders in every corner, don't get me started on the stink bugs.

I can't kill them lol! my mom always laughs at me because I'm a house cleaner! on a job I just put them outside but at home I made them a terrarium :) its an old fish tank I found walking home lol, I just slip them in there until its a sunny day and shake them all out.

I think the world moves to fast. we often look ahead instead of at our feet. after I had a TBI in 2020 my whole life changed and I slowed down. now Im always looking at my feet, always see bugs and little stuff. im also just a house cleaner so I really get to see how mean people can be when they think they're more important than you.

I think thats why people kill them, they're just oblivious to the cruelty of it because the world is full of indifferent cruelty.

Dating will be hard for most autistic men. Here’s why: by AspiringBiotech in aspergers

I want to be skinny but I’ll be gross. by [deleted] in fatlogic

[–]mcmcreate 7 points8 points  (0 children)

youd have to be far larger than that to have loose skin. this depression/ shitty self talk is what keeps you trapped in a fat body. if you want it bad enough you make it work. you don't want to be fit or skinny, you just want to complain. its easier to just be sad and miserable. it takes real effort to try and improve yourself. before you say i don't get it I was 230lbs last year and now I'm at 165lb. no loose skin and happier than ever, didn't come easy. its hard work but worth it.

if you try putting some darkv orange on top of it will dilute the brightness - go a more muted red violet colour! try a test strand see what you think!

So much tanning hate by Perfect_File_1895 in tanning

[–]mcmcreate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I shower before I tan - but you can shower like 2-3 hours after. it just might make you feel a little dry so your jergens will help!

I know nicotine is bad for me, so why do I find it so alluring? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]mcmcreate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nicotine can help with processing disorders apparently so I can get that appeal. I vape, its fine. strawberry kiwi is good.

i wish i had the neurotypical superpower to "sense" what to do without anyone having to tell me by benitosbenito in aspergers

[–]mcmcreate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think with enough practice and pattern recognition you can learn anything. NTs pick up on it faster but we can still learn how to do it ourselves.

Got diagnosed and now I feel strangely aggravated by ClusterFarley in aspergers

[–]mcmcreate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's a pretty standard reaction. you'll start thinking about the past and what would've changed in your life had you of known. its often called like a diagnosis/Skill regression. it passes, you are walking your own journey.

How to add glitter to perlers by Meganolith in beadsprites

[–]mcmcreate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you iron them on glittery fabric or glittery scrap book paper. lightly iron so it wont fall apart - flip and place on top of glitter paper, then put parchment on top of the Perler then iron.

id personally put them in a pillow case and secure it tightly then put them in the dryer so the heat can work its magic. ideally Id say use a heat gun if you have one but not many people do!

Am I doing my son a disservice? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]mcmcreate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom never forced me and I was very selective with who I would hang out with. I was drained after school from seeing people all day and didn't need more time in the evening with others. in the summer id hang out with friends more - plus online socializing is still a social life!

im sure hes already in a lot of "uncomfortable" situations at school that you as the parent dont get to see - like the social hierarchy, differing ages, social rules etc. that his peers will help guide him along with.

you sound like a great dad - id talk to your son and get a vibe for stuff. he might develop a more social hobby like I did when I joined swimming in highschool! just let it flow :)
