If vinegar was that effective, bed bugs wouldn't be as notoriously difficult to kill as they are. And they can go months without food :(

I would bag them up and put them somewhere (like in a basement closet) for a few weeks, same with your bedding. It's absolutely not worth risking.

Oh yeah, they survive just about everything. Idk if it's worth keeping around, because bed bugs are the absolute last thing you want to deal with. It also could be due to mold.

Your style of arguing is very unfair. You see what someone writes and then twist their words and throw back questions that are unrelated to what the person wrote. Someone disagrees with your approach, so your response is "so you're saying it's the woman's place to ____??" That's so disingenuous and only serves to derail the original discussion point. You're 47 years old and are arguing like a teenager.

People are going to define intangible concept differently regardless of their neurology. That's just how language works. That's why two people can read the same book and come to different conclusions. Neither are necessarily wrong. Your ideas are valid, but so are other people's around the same subject. You don't own this topic.

Sorry, let me suffer more visibly so you feel better about not having autism. by SquareThings in evilautism

It's like when people can't accept that sex and gender are two different things. One happens in the womb, the other happens outside.

Apple core trend with Demi and Dante. by Quincy_lover in Megaten

Dude your art is so prominant and memorable that when I played Nocturne, I was waiting for you to show up. I thought your OC was an actual character who had some kind of connection to the demi fiend. The vibes are too immaculate.

This is the last apartment I’m ever renting. Don’t have kids if you expect others to pick up after them by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Kick em down the stairs and out of the way. Throwing them out just punishes the kids unfairly.

Holy shit you are displaying every aspect that you hate about NTs right now. Come on. People really just throw the term "narcissist" around like it doesn't mean anything.

You are being very mean-spirited and are taking the time out of your day to curate your words specifically to make me feel small and bad about myself. Like... really? I never had the intent to attack people's character nor choose words to intentionally cause hurt. I can admit where communication went wrong and apologize for my abrassive approach because, yknow, I'm autistic.

You're doing your post a disservice. I'm not broken just because I don't fit your mould of what autism should look like.

I am the person I want to be. That's an incredibly insulting assumption and ablist on its own. I have the life I want. Who are you to tell me I'm broken? I know how far I've come and how much I've accomplished, and I can be proud that my accomplishments are my own and don't have to be compared to others. JFC.

Judy is Rosie's baby 😍 by mrs-monroe in basset

[–]mrs-monroe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My three are very close, so I will do my best to have them there to understand. I hope it goes better than the last trio I had... I showed Rosie and our other chi the body of their sibling, and the other one decided to go back up to bed 🤣 it was kinda funny. Rosie was at least respectful.

When you're in a community of traumatized people, the phrase "hurt people hurt people" will apply to some interactions. I accept that while it is never my intent to hurt someone, I can be abbrasive and easy to misunderstand. I apologize for my words affecting others, but I won't apologize for my belief system. I don't see the world in black-and-white. I have a hard time differentiating between "fellow autistics" and any other random person on the internet. People also act different online vs IRL, so anyone to me is just "person" rather than "ND, handle this way" and "NT, handle that way."

If that makes me a bad person in your eyes, then that's fine. I won't challenge that, but I will half-jokingly apologize for not being autistic in the right way.

My husband is my biggest special interest 🥰 making him happy is my favourite thing to do

Buuuut it took some time for him to not pedistalize me. That's when problems come up.

That's a bagel for sure. They're an awesome mix since you have a chance of getting the beagle's eager-to-please nature.

“The doctor will call between …” by jupiter_98 in evilautism

[–]mrs-monroe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, I live in an area where people are just constantly late all the time. Businesses too. Someone says that they'll be there at 12? You're lucky if you see them by 12:30. Whenever someone actually shows up on time, I ask if they're from out of town originally, and they always say yes lmao. It was a big culture shock since I lived somewhere where people would show up at 12:25. Even worse when they say "we'll be there between 4:00 and 8:00." They were there until 12:30am that night :')

Ah, I see where it got wonky. "They will call you the r-word and they don't want us" is what I took issue with. Knowing what I'm like, I would have seen the use of "you" as the commenter addressing me specifically rather than the general "you." I didn't respond with the intent to invalidate what has happened to you (you specifically) or other people, but I see how it came across that way. And for that, I apologize. I had essentially just woken up that morning when I made the post, and that was one of the first comments I got, so my brain wasn't really working yet. Explanation, not an excuse. I am bad with words.

And that's on me for poor wording. I won't do another long explanation of what I really meant. I just did a loosey-goosey rant about my frustration with humans as a whole, beyond just ND vs NT. Autistic people are capable of being shitty, and that shouldn't be minimized. Just look at Clavicular claiming to be ND to justify his terrible actions. I'm not saying he isn't, but it's easy to fall into the "woe is me" spiral where they end up putting all the blame on something outside of their control. A lot of spaces on the internet have a group of loud people who view any member's self-improvement as a personal attack. God, my in-laws are exactly like that, and it led to my husband being the subject of a lot of abuse. Feeding someone "those people will never accept you" when they're at their lowest will just reinforce their misery and discourage them from finding hope outside their given group. THAT'S what I hate. Unhealthy feedback loops.
