I'm not neurotypical at all, you can't tell with a lot of us if you don't talk to us

Omg very similar here! My best friend, who lives oversees now, is coming to visit for 3 weeks. It's been about 2 years since I've seen him. If I didn't know him, I wouldn't think it possible for another human to understand me on such a fundamental and intuitive level as he does. I'm stoked!

Interesting, where are you? It's more or less the opposite here (Austria). Hospitals will let you wait for ages (like 2 hours, possibly even more if it's particularly busy) if you walk in with something that doesn't require immediate treatment and/or their more advanced machines, and they'll tell you you shouldn't waste emergency resources for that stuff. I'm talking about COVID or the flu or things like that as a healthy young adult. But GPs will always take walk-ins for immediate issues. Mine has a wait time of 10-30 mins for walk-ins.

I always get excited when I get on one of the old ones, they're so charming and no worse than the new ones. A bit louder maybe.

Wait is it normal to need an appointment for a GP visit?

Mostly things that fall under the category of women not being able to be a threat/dangerous. Especially white women, which im usually read as.

This includes everything from talking to children in public to actual minor crimes like shoplifting.

ETA: this is in fact a prime example of how sexism is mean to everyone. Women are not dangerous because they're weak, men are dangerous because they're strong. Neither is generally true.

I've silently cried in public many many times and nobody ever bats an eye. If your town is over a certain size, people tend to prefer to mind their business.

Not done yet, I just keep finding groups of three today

My mum at least asked 'do you learn about this stuff in school?', to which i awkwardly said yeah. We did get some pretty good classes on bodies, the biology of reproduction, and contraception. I even remember having a test on contraceptives in biology class.

Unfortunately, it was very cis-het only. I had to figure out by myself that I should be using protection during sex even if both participants had a vulva.

As for drugs, it never occurred to my mum that anything other than alcohol and nicotine could be relevant to us. She did well on keeping me from smoking just by telling me about her experience as a smoker and how hard it was to quit. I kept my drinking and weed smoking from her pretty well because even a mention would make her angry. To be fair, as an adult I understand she had some trauma from her mum being an alcoholic.

Where I live it is, because of local-ish soy production. Also helps that it's a complete protein, so you don't have to think as much about which amino acids you're getting from where.

Man where were you 8 years ago when I ate zero protein because I didn't know it could be cheap. Couldn't afford animal products and was conditioned to believe those were the only viable source of protein.

Btw I'd like to add textured vegetable protein to the list! It's one of my go-tos nowadays.

I'm not even in tech. I teach maths at night school to support myself while doing my masters. Somehow I've become the 'computer guy' at my job. All the teachers and even office staff ask me to explain software to them that I myself have never even used. I need to learn to say no.

Semi related, but my mum likes to pretend she doesn't know what 'Netflix and chill' means. She keeps saying it to people. One time I said mum please google that phrase. She said she's well aware of the meaning and just likes to see people's reactions.

My friends and I still quote Monty Python to each other. Embrace tradition.

The youngest millennials aren't even 30 yet, and there's lots of places where most people have children in their early 30s nowadays

To add: drink water throughout the day in general. Especially where tap water is safe to drink. You're going to pass up the opportunity to improve your health and daily wellbeing, easily and for free? WHY?

Random side note. I actually prefer room temperature water. Sensitive teeth. And i try to keep my backpack as light, so it's a one layer water bottle for me.

I'm so glad I don't want kids in the first place. Must be heartbreaking to want them and not be able to have them.

A bit of a more serious comment on that: knowledge is never useless. Many, maybe most, researchers agree with that. It's why we do what we do. Publishers and sources of funding (be they third party or governmental), however, disagree. So we have to sell them on the importance of our research this way.

Die unter uns, die laute Geräusche nicht gut vertragen, sind trotzdem sehr einfach zu erreichen: einfach den Text stehen lassen, nachdem man das Geräusch wegdrückt

I just lost my job due to some bigger firm buying the place. I'll honestly prefer to live at the office (I have one at uni where I'm doing an unpaid thesis) or a friend's couch again (like I did after a breakup) than move in with family. Everyone's family dynamic is different.

That said, you don't need friends to find roommates. There's websites and social media groups to find them, usually. Have you considered moving a bit further away, where there's better job opportunities? Hope things get better for you

Where did all that splatter come from? Did it explode in the microwave? Or did you drop it onto the plate from like a metre above?

I meant that as in 'everyone should be pro creating safe bike lanes'. Sorry I wasn't clear

I mean, getting hit by a bike hurts, but it doesn't kill you. Still, I'm not a fan of people endangering and inconveniencing others so they themselves can be safer either. But that's what people are like. That's one of the reasons everyone should be pro bike lane, even if they don't cycle.

Ich hab genau deshalb 2 Hausärzt:innen. Eine für akute Kleinigkeiten ganz in meiner Nähe und einen der mich gut kennt, dafür aber ein Stück weiter weg ist.

My room is a nightmare of a mess and I'm not a drug dealer. We exist

We used to be able to use headphones and charge our phones at the same time

I asked an 18yo I know whether 'rizzler' was actually a thing people say and they said no. 'Rizz', however, is a common term.

It's me. I'm the fae. At least I think I must be, since I use any pronouns.

Erstens bringend Katzen nicht jede Beute mit heim oder töten nur vor deinen Augen. Und zweitens töten die auch kleinere Tiere als Vögel. Auch Insekten sind für das Ökosystem wichtig. Und drittens sind anekdotische, unwissenschaftliche Beobachtungen nie genug, um Wissenschafter:innen zu widersprechen. Siehe all die Links in diesem thread.

Im enby and man do I wish they'd just go away and you could bring them back if you felt like it

The descriptions you found on google are probably vague because different people will mean different things when they say they're graysexual. The other person already explained well what it means, but the specifics can be different for everyone. For example, some might experience attraction weakly but all of the time, some might experience it more strongly, but only rarely, and then no attraction at all the rest of the time. Both of these people could refer to themselves as graysexual. But since you relate and plan on communicating well, I bet you'll be fine. Good luck!

6 yr relationship, never planned to marry, in case it matters. The lack of communication I was talking about was him eating ahead of time in secret rather than telling his wife that sharing would mean that they'd need more food in order for him to have enough.

What happened to communicating with your partner

Guy from my undergrad who was missing one hand has always had a profile pic of him posing with a sign that said 'second hand shop'

If you're going to do complex data analysis, isn't it a pain to use ANY spreadsheet software, no matter how good? I do mine as a Jupyter notebook. The spreadsheet is just for looking at the numbers, maybe sorting some things.

do other countries [...] both political parties

No, other countries tend to have 0, 1, or way more than 2 parties

Most of my brains bandwidth is used up by remembering things like that my passport is in that canvas bag half under my bed and that my birth certificate is in a specific stack of paper at my mums house in my former room. So yes, let's!

Where do I learn the skill of remembering/noticing things that are directly in front of my face

If that was how it worked it would also happen if you spilt oil or liquid soap or soapy water

Mine is: fuck it, I'm going into industry. And then I don't.
