I live in Italy (not Italian) and I feel personally offended by how bad that pun was.
You, sir (or lady, or whatever the fuck you are) should be in a max security pun-itentiary

I suppose you have yet to see English or Germans eating… It’s… An unpleasant experience.
Mostly separating them in smaller tasks that I can see as making progress.
That’s the only thing that helps me with them
I love writing “congratulations, you have survived another full orbit around the sun”.
As for the gifts… I suck at them
I understand enough of my body to recognize when one can happen. And it’s not always easy but, I’ll give you an example.
Sirens in general, but specifically those from first responders are overwhelming for me so I always carry a pair of earplugs to soften their noise. They are one of my possible meltdown causes, and not long ago I was in my bike coming back from work and happened that in a very narrow street in which I was, an ambulance got trapped in the middle of the traffic. I realized my body was going into meltdown because I started hyperventilating so I quickly stopped, got down of the bike and sat down trying to breath and stim as I could. In the end it didn’t cause a meltdown (although I had a panic attack).
In my case, I start losing control of my body when a meltdown is happening so as soon as i notice a threat, I run a list of possible escape scenarios. And if there are non, I mitigate. But well, I always carry earplugs, some toys and a pair of ANC headphones with me with a playlist of soothing songs “just in case”.
I’m in the same boat. I was diagnosed late in my life and even then, being “highly functional” means that “I don’t look autistic”, so most people won’t even take it seriously.
I, involuntarily, learned control myself and put some safeties in place before a meltdown so it doesn’t happen. But sometimes it’s not that easy to avoid one, and almost 4 months ago, I had one (maybe the first in 6-7 years).
I did become almost non verbal, and only with a huge effort I was able to articulate some very few words to explain my SO what was happening to me (was a first time for them). After I explained, I went completely non verbal for the whole next day.
Only once I’ve been non verbal for a long period (around a month) after a meltdown.
Anon explained why he didn’t consider he was being creepy and (girl) didn’t counter it and didn’t mention it again. What does that mean?
“The murdering will continue until corruption decreases”
I think it’s a good plan. I either stop corruption or I run out of people (which technically will stop corruption too).
Only if I’m not fast enough spreading the pandemic
There will be an epidemic of falls through windows. It will affect oligarchs and will spare the population. There is a cure: leaving the country after having relinquished all your money to the government.
Oligarchs problem solved.
Allistic people have issues saying what they truly think, so they do all kinds of shit to “say without saying”. And that doesn’t work with us, but they don’t understand because, apparently, we should learn how to understand them, but they don’t want (and neither think they need) to understand us.
So we’re trapped in a world where a good bunch of the allistics don’t care enough about us to learn how to communicate properly with us or to, at least, find a middle ground.
I don’t think you are in the wrong, she just wasn’t able to express clearly what she thought and you weren’t able to understand her message because of the lack of clarity on her end.
I am like you. The way I listen to music is not the conventional way in which someone has a playlist and goes with it for a while, then add new music, etc… I am autistic too, and my music routine generally implies having a song or two on repeat for the day because they are a form of stimming for me. So I don’t use streaming services if not for trying new music before seeing if I want that song.
My rule is that if I find a song I can be comfortable with to listen to it for a while hour on repeat and I still like it, I’ll buy it. If that happens, that song is probably going to be my next stimming song for days or even weeks, meaning I’ll listen to it hundreds or thousands of times. If that’s the case, I’ll buy it.
On some rare instances, I find an artist that I really like because they have more than one song that helps me and then I’ll buy their album just to show support to what they are doing.
I also can’t go to shows because they are a nightmare to my brain and its lack of sensory overload control.

It’s fine. Sometimes this happens. A song gets stuck in my autistic brain and I’ll play it non stop for days or weeks.
I’m autistic.
There were “people with the gay” parodying it. People with the gay!!! You know? WITH THE GAY!!!
You’re right. Christofascists are not only Americans.
Stick a small piece of paper under the mouse of a colleague, covering the laser sensor and watch them go crazy trying to figure why the mouse doesn’t work. Bonus point of the paper is the same colour as the mouse and it’s hard to see.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the youth and the black voters are excited to vote for a fascist felon like Trump
This sounds so much like Spanish potato omelette. There’s the civilised side and the side that add onions to the omelette. And you don’t want to bring the topic to any peaceful conversation.
My company uses them regularly as one of their alarm systems when they need to notify the maintenance technicians of something that’s not working because they are reliable and work even if the phone lines are down.
Why should people stop using them if they work?
