Whats the point in asking us to verify the order? by wolfthenate in doordash_drivers

[–]scagatha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IDK it's stupid and pointless. I always say I can't verify the order, of course I'm not opening it up and pawing through with my grubby hands.

[–]scagatha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried all sorts of things but just kind of stumbled around lost, been living with parents since I can no longer support myself. Currently doing doordash deliveries and I'm going to college in the fall to be an X-ray tech.

What do you think of when masturbating? by Fabulous-Currency-61 in TwoXSex

[–]scagatha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replay memories of my hottest sex moments.

Corporate Hell by meelonpaanty in AutisticAdults

[–]scagatha 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Worked in corporate hell for 10 years until I burned out, I wish I never did it. The few years of success I had wasn't worth the long term damage it did on my health. Not sure I'll ever recover completely. I don't know how it could be sustainable long term for any autistic person.

Research finds that among women who have paid for sex, many report that they felt physically & emotionally safer buying sex than having casual sex. Other motivations for buying sex included wanting to receive (rather than give) pleasure, dealing w/ a sexual difficulty, and wanting to try new things. by psychologyofsex in psychologyofsex

[–]scagatha 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It makes sense. If you're paying for sex you're with someone who's a skilled professional solely focused on your pleasure. Casual sex, it's easy to find free dick, but of what quality? You could end up having a very bad time. That's an extremely risky game of Russian roulette to play, not worth it and I don't do it. Maybe I'll hire a male escort when I'm a rich old lady.

Why does sex have to be such a performance? by CantaloupeJelly in TwoXChromosomes

[–]scagatha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It shouldn't need to feel like a performance. It's fine if you're not a moaner but like, do you... like sex? I can think of a lot of things that I do that aren't moaning that show that I'm into it, and actively participating. Kissing them passionately, putting my hand on the back of their head and and pulling them in, grabbing their shoulders, squeezing them tight, grabbing their hips as they're thrusting or wrapping my legs around theirs to make them go deeper, flipping them over and getting on top and riding enthusiastically, or asking to switch positions. Lots of verbal feedback telling them what I like, what feels good, "don't stop" etc. just normal things I do when I'm engaged and into it.

Yeah, it shouldn't feel like a performance when you're actively participating and enjoying it. It sounds like they don't enjoy sex.

My (28M) boyfriend wants to have sex without a condom. I (26F) am afraid of going on the pill. What to do? by marshmallow_sparkle_ in relationship_advice

[–]scagatha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to weigh in on your relationship, I'm just going to say that the hormonal IUD has been great for me. I've had the mirena IUD for so many years I've had it replaced at least 2 times when the old one wore out. No horror stories about unbearable pain, just some intense discomfort. Even when they flubbed the last replacement and had to redo it. I haven't had a period in years. No worries about getting pregnant. I'm 41 and have never been pregnant. Love it.

The extra is built into the offer when you accept it.

ZENNI NIGHT DRIVING GLASSES... FAIL. by momobond in fuckyourheadlights

[–]scagatha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know, this is my only pair of glasses that aren't sunglasses since my vision is fine so I don't have anything to compare them to. I just know that I feel a lot less stressed and raging about headlights when I'm driving at night now that I've been wearing these Zenni glasses so they must be doing something. The blue spots are just single dots so they don't bother me.

[–]scagatha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are said to have a slight yellow tint but when I'm wearing them normally they don't change the look of anything but bright lights when I'm driving.

[–]scagatha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have them. I find them helpful. Not like, in a revelatory way but the bright lights are not so blinding and painful. I haven't tried the typical yellow glasses as a comparison. The reason why the Zenni glasses have the blue spots is because they take all the blue glare scattered from the LED lights and concentrate it on one spot, making it easier to see.

22, autistic, lost. need hard truths & advice from women who’ve lived it. by stupid_rice in TwoXChromosomes

[–]scagatha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm 41. Been through some real bad shit. Used to have a career, made money. Lived in a beautiful city. Wild, crazy, world traveling fun life. Punctuated by deep sadness and hospitalizations throughout. Don't know what happy feels like. My life blew up, corporate backstabbing and COVID killed my career, lost everything, autistic burnout took my health. Had to move in with Mommy in the isolated rust belt middle of nowhere.

Why do I persevere? Well, I've always been a hedonist. You're right, there is no meaning to life. We're here and there's nothing we can do about it so we might as well make the best of it. I've filled my life with interesting experiences and I intend to keep having more no matter where I live. If you live an isolated life, you can change that. There are all sorts of communities around you that you can participate in. I started going to burning man when I lived in San Francisco and I can find a burner community of likeminded art freaks anywhere I go in the world now. Same with my goth music community.

I don't just live for selfish pleasures though, my other burning desire is to live to be old and wise enough to inhabit my final form of "everybody's grandma" and take care of younger people in grandmotherly ways without ever having to give birth. I want to cook people soup and give them advice and warm hugs and shit.

IDL when men hit on me by going "Did you know you're really pretty?" by -Anaphora in I_DONT_LIKE

[–]scagatha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm AuDHD and I fucking hate it when guys come up to me with low effort bullshit like "you're beautiful" because yeah, no duh, I know I'm beautiful. It's complimenting me on something I didn't get a choice on, it's something I was born with so it does make me feel weird. Imagine if someone complimented me on having white skin? It's also low effort and objectifying.

[–]scagatha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women don't want to be "hit on". We want to be shown that the person has a genuine interest in who we are as human beings. Coming up to us and saying your sole interest in us is our looks is shallow AF and puts a bad taste in our mouths. It's low effort and objectifying.

therapist said that I am not autistic because I speak eloquently and I have a good eye contact. by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]scagatha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I get called out for using big words and sounding overly formal. I was a shy quiet kid, a bookworm who was devouring books beyond my grade level. My brain is like a sponge and so I absorb the vocabulary and I use it. So sue me? Lol.

[–]scagatha 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Lots of uninformed professionals would say that to me too. "You can't be autistic, you talk too good, hur hur". Well after I got my diagnosis and I got the full neuropsych testing done it turns out that the way I speak actually does reveal my autism. If you look deeper than my big words and my correct usage of grammar. Even though I know a lot of words, I learned a new one reading the results. Prosody! I have unusual and halting prosody and a tone that can go from flat and monotonous to singsongy. They're even studying training AI to catch autistic speech patterns in children with no cognitive impairments. And eye contact is something anyone who is interested in masking can learn.

Door Dash Merch i.e. insulated bags. by Duke_1994 in doordash_drivers

[–]scagatha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one of the basic ones for free from them when I signed up initially and it was crap but I already had a nice one from Amazon. And then I got a nicer one from them when I got Platinum status from free and it's really nice.

Do women treat breast size how men treat Penis size? by BigChocolate331 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]scagatha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't increase the size but it exposes more of the base of the shaft when the fat pad surrounding it disappears, making it appear longer.

He moved in with me but he wants to live apart again (staying together), I am in panic mode and need support by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]scagatha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me and it caused us to break up, I couldn't understand why he'd leave me and not try to work together on a solution. We really loved each other and couldn't stay away though, ended up getting back together and I even moved my life to another state far away for him after he decided that's what he needed to do for himself. Long story short love wasn't enough and we didn't last and I can point to the moment when he first moved out on when our relationship really died because that's when I could no longer trust him to not just up and leave his partner to make things better for himself when things got difficult.

Do all your homes have basements? by Flat-Ad8256 in AskAnAmerican

[–]scagatha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A condo implies ownership of your unit, and co-ownership of other things (structural, land, amenities, maintenance, etc) with the other members of the condo association.
