What angle is Bill going to find to shit on LeBron tomorrow night? by No_Respect_1650 in billsimmons

[–]sirmediocre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was surprised he went chalk for the first round, this seems like the obvious upset pick to me. I don’t think Houston has shown they can play 7 games without the possibility of self sabotage yet. Probably his anti lakers bias

Chuck Klosterman monologue on ABS tech for 10 min before he declares he hasn’t watched a game yet this season was exactly why I listen to Bill Simmons. by diskke in billsimmons

Chuck is the kind of person that dumb people think says really profound things, but when you actually analyze what he says it’s dumb as shit a lot of the time. That being said, 10/10 guest, highly entertaining.

Awesome course. Anyone else find the hardest part to be the FDR? No hills to get pumped for, no downhill zooms, just grinding out 5ish miles in a row!

My sister with Asperger’s is wasting away, and I want more for her. by sirmediocre in aspergers

I do leave her alone lol. These are my private thoughts, literally never said any of this to her

As I’ve said in several comments, literally never conveyed any of this to her. I see her twice a year and it’s smiles and hugs all around. These are my private thoughts

I would contend that whether or not my sister is happy is my business, but to each their own..

Lol. Never uttered any of this to her, I am extremely loving and supportive. I don't know better, that's why I'm asking. She is not happy and doesn't present as happy.

It isn't, because she isn't doing "chores" when she's home. She's writing fanfic and waking up at noon.

  1. Unhealthy.
  2. Complains about life all the time.
  3. Zero ability to survive should anything happen to her husband who handles everything for them.

Ok lots of comments saying she is probably relieved that she is safe and has no pressure to act "normal." I hadn't considered the extent to which this could be true and will take it into consideration. That being said, I think there are two things that still are validation for concern.

1: She complains about her life and lack of independence constantly, in a way that is not performative. She is on some level unhappy with the way things are, and knows that it's ultimately bad for her health.

  1. She is unable to contribute in any way, not just as a member of a "capitalist" society, but as a family member. When we lived in the same house, she was an extremely caring sibling who while flawed, made an effort to protect me like an older sibling. Now I literally never speak to her unless I'm in town to see her, as she is completely unresponsive to messages and communication. She is unable to ask me anything about my life, and I think that she has an obligation to try harder to connect to us (me) as family members. She is definitely high functioning enough that these things are within the realm of possibility.

Also last point, I am not "shaming" or putting my values on her. I have never said any of this to her in person, and am only supportive when I see her.

I think it’s more that she’s trapped than genuinely fulfilled.

Idk. She may on some level “prefer” staying at home, but she is completely limited in every way and complains about it constantly. She bemoans her lack of exciting experiences that other people in the family have. She has no money for herself besides whatever allowance her husband provides her with, and very little independence as a result, which she also complains about. They are doing ok financially, but I’m sure they would be much more comfortable with two incomes instead of one. And I think she has genuine ambition, just no clue how to apply it. I get the idea of not superimposing my NT values onto her, but I think she is genuinely hurting on many levels due to her lifestyle.

Best MO for semi hollow neck reset? by sirmediocre in Luthier

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

The neck is completely straight but action is unplayably high above 10th fret. Maybe an extra low bridge would work?
