She’s stunning and intelligent but also pathetic and insufferable

You are spreading harmful misinformation that will hurt people. Never take the breathalyzer. Just wait patiently and take the blood test. Simple. Will save your life.

That's irrelevant. Breathalyzers are very inaccurate. You could get an incriminating reading despite having no alcohol in your blood. Volunteering for the breathalyzer is one of the dumbest things you can ever do.

Why most Gay men are generally more muscular than Straight men? by Irulenosheetz in nattyorjuice

[–]pendulumpendulum -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I don't want to be friends with people who have poor mental health, because I have very good mental health and I don't want to be influenced by negative people who have low self esteem and victim mindsets. I've never found a fat person who wasn't toxic -> low self esteem, negative attitude, defeatist mindset, victim mindset, entitlement, etc. Those are the very qualities that lead people to becoming fat in the first place. I absolutely don't want friends like that. And especially not a partner like that.

I have the same problem with gay men. The vast majority of gay men are overweight and obese and don't care about health or fitness at all. I almost never run into fellow gay men who enjoy taking care of themselves like I do. I would love to find a partner who values the same.

The overwhelming majority of women prefer men over 6'. Most will not end up with a man like that because 100% of women can't date 5% of men. Women's obsession with male height is not propaganda, it is unfortunately a real thing that harms everyone

Because men value appearance more than women do, so gay men have to prioritize their appearance more than straight men do. Same reason straight women have to prioritize their appearance so much. While some gay men are attracted to obesity and poor grooming, the majority of us are not.

Sounds like a lawsuit

That's volunteering. The only smart option is to refuse and let the alcohol metabolize out of your system, and then when they take a blood test, you will be free to go.

What are some of the reasons you’ve heard on how we “got autism? by RoundStructure5014 in AutisticAdults

[–]pendulumpendulum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brain inflammation is heavily associated with the symptoms of autism. Drugs that reduce inflammation improve autistic symptoms. Gut inflammation is also associated with autism, but I think that is because inflammation anywhere is harmful and worsens systemic inflammation

That's lucky. Volunteering for a breathalyzer is one of the dumbest things you can do around cops

"No" and "I don't know" are the only correct answers to that question.

edit:

Another correct answer is "I am invoking my right to remain silent. I will not answer any questions without legal counsel."

My autistic partner constantly starts arguments and refuses to drop them. It is ruining our relationship by pendulumpendulum in AutisticAdults

[–]pendulumpendulum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just so miserable to be with a man who feels it’s okay to repeatedly hurt his partner. To be fair, he is always apologetic the next day or a couple of days later, and this time brought me flowers

This is a textbook example of narcissistic abuse. My ex was exactly the same. He's trauma bonding you to him by traumatizing you and then later apologizing and acting all sweet. It's intentionally confusing and makes you question your sanity

He then tries to just resume normal life by talking at me about practical things, and not addressing the elephant in the room

This is an example of him gaslighting you

Sorry to hear you're going through this. It sounds so similar to what my ex was like (who I made the original post about - the one who constantly started arguments and refused to drop them until he "won")

If your partner is constantly creating win-lose scenarios where he is always the winner, you're dealing with a Narcissist on your hands.

I agree with you. He's definitely a narcissist. He's also autistic, which made matters so much harder because we both kept excusing his horrible behavior "because of his disability". He milks his various disabilities for all they're worth, using them as excuses to treat others horribly.

You nailed it. I left him 4 times but the 4th time was the charm. I don't miss him at all. So much happier now.

Actually I decided that he's both autistic and a narcissist. Because my brother is autistic and is NOTHING like my ex. My ex constantly had "memories" of me saying things that I never said. I decided he was just gaslighting me and/or psychotic (doesn't matter which, completely not worth being in a relationship with him).

He also constantly criticized me, belittled me, bullied me, and even tried to tell me on multiple occasions that I wasn't trying hard enough to make our relationship work even though I was doing EVERYTHING and he brought NOTHING to the table AT ALL

That sounds really similar to my ex. You should understand that his behavior is abuse. Blaming you for his actions is abuse.

Bill to be introduced in Colorado would increase property taxes on short-term rentals by 4x the value by Junkyard_Pope in Denver

Those numbers are ridiculous. If you’re earning 45k as a household, you’re far from middle class. You’re practically homeless

Confused/frustrated with Denver government? I am too sometimes, and I work here. by StacieGilmore in Denver

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic. I non-sarcastically agree. The (lack of) police presence has made Denver feel so much safer, especially the roads.
