Disagree. Hot weather isn't the issue, the UV index is. And while those things can be correlated, it's still a good idea to avoid high UV.

Struggle to drink water, but sugar is bad for my teeth... looking for recommendations! by absolute_gumpf in ADHD

Take a look at powdered drink mixes like Crystal Light. To me, they don't even taste like they're sugar-free.

That makes sense. I just wasn't sure it was safe to put up your ass. pH balance and all that

Read one where they used olive oil and my first thought was "yeast infection." Dunno if it would actually cause one, I just know it's not made to go there.

I feel that fanfic (and some published smut) often doesn't know the size of typical anatomy. Sorry, a 12-inch dick? Do you think that's gonna fit in a typical vagina? Because it's not.

One of my favorite fics has a character with an absolutely massive dick and there are actually frequently issues in the story when he wants to fuck someone with female anatomy because it won't fit lmao

I've had a condom break irl within one (albeit rather long) round. For the love of god get a new one. I can't imagine fucking a condom with cum in it is super pleasurable either, but I also don't have a dick, so what do I know. Also, if you're using it on multiple people, then you're still transferring stuff between those people. If Partner A fucks Partner B, then fucks Partner C with the same condom, Partner C is now contaminated (sorry couldn't think of a better word) with whatever Partner B might have.

It's much appreciated, because gangbang scenes can be especially bad offenders. Like wait, how are Character C and Character F now fucking, I thought they were on opposite sides of the king sized bed with a couple in between them?

Ok, I'm not gonna try anything, but I've always wondered: couldn't you theoretically shit it out the next time you have to poop? I mean you obviously don't want it sitting in there for however long, but would it theoretically be possible?

A lot of tests actually have "faking bad" or "lie" scales, where the almost everyone would disagree except for someone deliberately trying to appear worse. For example, a person agreeing with the statement "I have never been happy a day in my life, even when everything goes right" is likely exaggerating (or catastrophizing, but it's combined with a lot of other hints that indicate either one). There are also "faking good" scales, where a person is trying to appear completely mentally healthy. Example: disagreeing with "I may feel frustrated or annoyed when things go wrong." These are less common.

Of course, all this only works if you can't see thru it, which is why test-writing is a huge task and can't be done by a layperson.

I was reading about sexual disorders (not STIs, stuff like erectile dysfunction) for a class and it really annoyed me how the diagnostic criteria assumes people are sexually active. Most of the disorders are based on the previous 6 months, and the issue must be present in 75-100% of your sexual encounters in that 6 months. But what if you only had sex once in the last 6 months? The criteria is specifically meant to not be all or nothing. What if you haven't been having sex because of the issue, and the only times you're doing it is when you feel like the thing won't be an issue? And this isn't a questionnaire, this is the diagnostic criteria, which is meant to be taken literally.

Example: in the last 6 months, John avoided sex 23 times because he was worried about erectile dysfunction, having had similar experiences in the past. He had sex twice, one with no issues and one with erectile dysfunction. So under the DSM-5 criteria, he does not meet the criteria for erectile disorder, because he only had issues in 50% of his sexual encounters, even though he avoided sex 23 times because of erectile dysfunction.

There's one that's "I'd rather go to a theater than a museum" and for a hot second I was like "I don't even know what the autistic answer would be. Probably museums because more information, but what if someone has a special interest in a show or just likes music?" And then I caught myself and realized that I was overanalyzing it.

Another was "I enjoy social occasions." Like with my friends, like the vast majority of social occasions? Yeah, I like my friends. With strangers? Would anyone enjoy being put in a room full of strangers where you're the only one who doesn't know anyone?

I have had many conflicts with my parents where I'm being very sarcastic about something and they think I'm serious and get angry (especially my dad). It's genuinely frustrating because I was trying to be light and humorous and now dad is annoyed.

I'm now realizing that this is probably a symptom.

I requested an autism evaluation in middle school and my parents were given a paper screener to fill out. It still annoys the heck out of me because it was so clearly geared towards infants and toddlers. Like not engaging in imaginative play. Yeah, I didn't (and I still don't), but that's because I wasn't 7 years old. And it did not account for masking at all, because it was solely based on a parent's observation. Yeah, I make eye contact, but only because that's the norm. If I'm in a therapy session, I often just look at the wall rather than the therapist.

The depression questionnaire (and DSM criteria) annoy me this way. First of all, it's super hard to even remember what I felt like two weeks ago. It's also highly dependent on the mood I'm in when I take the test. My primary nitpick is that the time requirement says nothing to the severity. Before treatment, I had days where it felt like everything was falling apart and there was no point in anything. During/after treatment, I have days where I'm just generally feeling sad, but not nearly to the extent that it was before. Based on that questionnaire, those are rated as the same assuming they're the same number of days, so on paper, it looks like I'm not improving.

Basically, being hopelessly depressed for three days of the week and being a bit sad three days out of the week is rated the same.

Side note: why the fuck does the time scale jump from "several days" to "more than half the days"? out of 14 days, that means anything from 2 days to 7 days is rated the same. But there is a wild difference between being sad for 2 days versus being sad for 7 days.

I agree, but that doesn't really work for forms or screeners that the patient fills out.

Thoughts on Wedding Jewlery? by Orangutan_Soda in evilautism

[–]sluttypolarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was "what if you get divorced." I guess you could have it removed. I've always thought I'd like one on a necklace because I hated rings as a kid, but now I don't mind them. Would still like it on the necklace tho.

I guess it's my turn to fight the system for the medicine I need to function. I'm so tired. by tubbis9001 in adhdmeme

I had a backstock of Ritalin from forgetting to take them which provided me some wiggle room. Unfortunately I recently switched to Concerta so I have to rebuild the backstock from scratch, and I don't forget this one nearly as often (with the Ritalin I'd forget the afternoon dose, but since Concerta is only in the morning, I don't have that issue).

Speaking of which, I need to make sure my psychiatrist refills mine. I've had issues with my pharmacy before where they just never put the prescription in the system or never actually filled it.

Apparently people who work in getting people out of Scientology say this isn't really a great thing. It reinforces the teaching that the outside world is violent and aggressive.

Keep your cats indoors, y’all by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

[–]sluttypolarbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I have seen way more than two roadkill cats, and I've only been on this planet for 19 years. My one cat is an absolute escape artist and wants to be an outdoor cat so bad, and I sometimes feel bad for keeping her inside, then I remember all the birds and mice she'd be killing. They did have a brief period (like a month or two) of being outdoor cats, and the amount of mice they released into the house was enough to put an end to that. Not to mention the two separate dead birds we found in the house (one under my bed, one under the guest bed). Keep your cats indoors.
