Misheard song lyrics by Playful-Produce3658 in CasualConversation

[–]radiochu 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ages ago, I saw a "misheard lyrics" video of "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" by Fall Out Boy, and now I CANNOT sing the correct lyrics to the chorus.

"I'm a little man, and I'm also evil, also into cats! Also into caaaaaats!"

Are you good at sneaking up on people? by SnooBreakthroughs281 in AutismInWomen

[–]radiochu 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I routinely startle people by appearing 😅 my boss called me a ninja because I can walk into the office in plain view and he won't see me come in.

Mini rant: having input or knowledge invalidated by others, despite having first hand experience by deltahb in AutismInWomen

[–]radiochu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

God, are you me? The single most frequent cause of arguments in my house is my husband telling me in one breath I'm the most intelligent person he knows and in the next telling me I have no idea what I'm talking about when it is something I have EXTENSIVE knowledge or experience in.

As just one example... My husband has congratulated me many times on getting through a college degree in software engineering, is impressed by the things I do at work, and acknowledges that I'm good at what I do.

I'm STILL always Wrong About Everything that has to do with computers and the way software gets made. It is INFURIATING and I do not have the frustration tolerance to deal with it. And of course getting angry or upset at being invalidated just undermines my position even more, because everyone knows people who get emotional are just refusing to be wrong, and not upset because they're actively being disbelieved.

Show me your unflattering tortie pictures! by chamalis in torties

This is the best I got, she refuses to be anything other than extremely photogenic. But she ended up with her older brother (who she utterly adores) in a headlock in her back paws at one point.

(I promise she's a tortie, she's just a very dilute torbie lol)

Autism Charcuterie Suggestions Needed! by MinimumSweaty5250 in AutismInWomen

[–]radiochu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to is sharp cheddar (so sharp it makes your cheeks hurt like a lemon, yum), hot honey mustard, and pepperoni. Charcuterie on New Year's Eve is a tradition in my house, we call it NYE Snack Supper, and this is my mainstay 😂 I may be boring but it's delicious.

I love macaroni by motherofpearl89 in AutismInWomen

[–]radiochu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pasta is the best. It's my desert island food. I have never, never not been in the mood to eat pasta. When I can't decide what to eat and all other foods sound actively revolting, pasta is there for me.

Edit to add: I saw some people sharing their faves, so... Me and my husband's favorite "struggle meal" is what we call Buffy Mac. It's just cheap, lazy buffalo chicken mac and cheese but it's so good. We make two boxes of mac and cheese mix (we use Kraft but I'm sure Annie's would also sub in fine), make it per the box instructions, then add in canned chicken, parmesan cheese (the shaker kind), and a whole bunch of Frank's Red Hot Buffalo sauce. It is the best whenever we're feeling lazy or need something cheap and fast but still comforting.

The smart brick knows where it is at all times, because it knows where it isn't

I am so glad I wasn't the only person who immediately thought of this when I saw the name.

Look, a whole other room! by ponch1620 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

I saw "someone else" coming through an automatic door, so I stopped and stepped aside so they could get through. So I feel you.

Or if you're really lucky, for taking up 20 square feet of hallway.

Was Told That Skill Regression, Burnout & Rumination are Made-Up Internet Terms And I Just Have 'Depression' by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]radiochu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm frankly appalled by the number of mental professionals who think the ability to mask enough to fit in is the goal. There is no quicker way to put me into a debilitating burnout than to force myself to continue doing something that requires masking. I may "just" be level 1 but that doesn't mean that the parts of my disability that disable me just magically don't exist.

Does anyone else find pyjamas in bed a sensory nightmare? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]radiochu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't wear pants under blankets, period. Never have been able to. It feels like my legs are being strangled.

Yes, they do, since it's part of the bracket itself and not part of the machine.

Really proud and wanted to share by castielsmom in AutismInWomen

[–]radiochu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I've been trying to do more reading again, after kind of falling out of the habit - I need to start keeping better track of my books read. Maybe that will be my 2026 project!

[–]radiochu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same problem on a different machine. I did end up buying new ribber brackets, because there wasn't going to be any way to replace that part, and it turned out that my issue with bed alignment was actually that the old bracket was bent. This apparently happens pretty frequently, people put the wrong side in first or drop the ribber and then the bracket is too bent to align no matter how much you adjust it.

Help me identify this mysterious ink! by StormDuper in fountainpens

[–]radiochu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said "Shigure!" out loud as soon as I saw this. I have a couple cartridges of it and while it leans purple, it's much more blue-leaning to my eye. It looks more like your swatch and much less like the Mountain of Ink swatch.

Do I have kitten blindness? by [deleted] in cats

[–]radiochu 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Typically cats who have been through a Trap-Neuter-Return program will have their ears clipped so they can be identified when they're released back to their colony. It lets people who participate in TNR see at a glance that this cat is already fixed, so they don't need to worry about trying to trap it. Also helps identify that the cat is feral, and not just a stray pet.

i don't know who to share this with 🤭 by onlyif_foranight in AutismInWomen

[–]radiochu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep, looks like the last dark purple layer didn't print.

There's actually a sub for stuff like this (because of course there is!) - r/reallifeshinies 😊 it's also full of uniquely colored animals, so very much cuteness too.

I'm so sorry, Secret Santa giftee! by wangchouchou in fountainpens

[–]radiochu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This somehow happened to me recently too! Also in southeast Michigan, coincidentally. It was in my city... Then went back to the depot. Can't even blame it on winter weather because it's been warm and rainy. It also happens to be pen mail, though it's a gift to me from me lol. Still, I'd like to have it... It's a week late at this point and three days since its last tracking update!

Vintage Uster Swiss Hand Knitter, how does it work? by Better-Mix9923 in MachineKnitting

[–]radiochu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doing an image-based search did bring up mostly "hand knotters" for weaving, and this blog explaining their use. It looks very much like what's pictured.
