I pretty much only use it to generate boilerplate. I’ve tried using it to learn the syntax of new languages and it kind of works, but in my experience just reading the docs is better even if it seems like a lot of text. Also your IQ really does not matter. You can learn anything as long as you’re willing to put in the time and effort; don’t compare yourself to others it’s fine to go at your own pace. (I’m Autistic also btw)

I’m Autistic and I struggle with driving too. There’s too many things to pay attention to and it overwhelms my brain. It took me 5 tries to get my license. I genuinely would not drive if I didn’t live in the US and had access to reliable public transport. I cope with this by being very cautious. I have a hard time determining speed and distance so sometimes I will sit at a stop sign for notably longer than I need to which upsets the people behind me but I think it’s the only reason I haven’t gotten in an accident yet. I hate how car brained people can be. There’s nothing wrong with not being able to drive and lots of people in non-car brained countries who don’t.

The sound it makes is exactly where the name comes from. Also there were people in soda territory also calling it pop as well way back in the day. That’s why the term “soda pop” exists.

You can see a D.C. newspaper from the mid 1800s calling it pop in this wiki article.

History of Pop

Mine talked about various contraceptive methods, STDs, and accidental/teen pregnancies. It did focus more on the pregnancy part than the STD part, but they also briefly talked about how condoms are still important even if you’re gay, since they prevent STDs.

I have a cousin I went to highschool with. He grew up in the south, but he finished highschool with me in Minnesota, and he told me his sex ed curriculum down south consisted of a brief talk on how sex is bad and that it is important to eat vegetables. Even though he had health class credits from down south, the school made him take their health class and he was happy to find out it’s much more comprehensive than the south.

I have over 2,000 hours in terraria and way more in minecraft. Really anything with good building or creative features is going to hook me for quite a while.

I worked as a cashier for about two years, so I do have some social skills, but too much noise and activity tires me out quickly. I chose online college partly because I can do it in an environment that’s comfortable to me since I can’t do that with work, it helps me get somewhat of a break. I have a friend I made at work who’s also autistic and doing an online CS degree. I find them easy to talk to and they are more outgoing than me, and they have helped me figure out how to better socialize. I have been experiencing autistic burnout the past few months though, so lately I have been regressing on some things. I don’t know if I’m going to make it, but atm I feel like I will eventually.

I like online learning because I’m autistic and in person learning makes me uncomfortable. I can tolerate it but it gets really tiring eventually. I’m currently a senior and am almost done with my computer science bachelor’s which I’ve done entirely online.

Online discussions suck, but so do in person discussions. Talking to neurotypicals is stressful just anticipating having to do it and trying to pretend to be “normal” really wipes me out.

I agree that some majors and classes are way better in person and I get that some people need to go in person to motivate themselves, but also going in person ends up being worse for some other people. I don’t think people should be forced to learn online, but I think the option should be there if it is reasonable to do that class online.

When I was in high school a kid brought a gun with the intent to shoot up the school, but he got caught with it and ran before he was able to use it. We were in lockdown for over an hour while they searched for this kid, so while it thankfully wasn’t a mass shooting it was still scary and it affected the whole school. Some kids were so rattled they didn’t show up the next day or two. If the shooting did happen that would add 2,000 people to the number who have experienced a mass shooting.

I thought Minnesota was part of Canada. Why is it saying here that it’s a US state?

(Yes, this is a joke, although I wish it wasn’t)

Wait 'til you see what’s underneath!

Wow! Nice jenis!

It’s actually really good although the stuff in the picture looks like it wasn’t made very well.

Watching streamers does help to temporarily escape from the cruelties of the world so I’d rather not hear about politics then. Many of the streamers I watch have commented on it, but not frequently, some only once after the election results came in. I think they understand people are watching them to get away from politics.

When I started HRT I was at around 270 pounds (122.5 kg) but I exercised a bunch and got down to 220 pounds (100 kg) which I’ve been stuck at for almost a year now. Despite losing all that weight in my first few months of taking HRT, I still had a lot of breast growth. I didn’t really restrict myself calorically, although I didn’t eat excessively either, so my calorie deficit came primarily from exercise, so it is possible to lose weight without inhibiting breast growth. Your genetics are also going to be a factor as well, some people just don’t get much breast growth, but that doesn’t mean they are any less valid!

That’s why I call them farts (feminist appropriating radical transphobes) because terf isn’t accurate.

I get that. I left catholicism as a teen for a variety of reasons but one of the big ones was the bigoted views of other catholics. Leaving organized religion is a difficult thing, especially when you’ve grown up in it and many or all of the people close to you participate in it. It is completely normal to be worried about losing the acceptance of those people. I’ve gone through this twice, once when I left catholicism, and a second time when I came out as trans, and I can tell you that if the people close to you really do love you and appreciate you that they will come around eventually.

Also, with religion/spirituality, you really can just believe whatever you want, it doesn’t have to be in a book or followed by anyone else. Ultimately, it is your choice if you want to stay in catholicism, follow your own version of it, be an atheist, look into other existing religions, or have your own personal one.

My thoughts are that the first one is for BIPOC and one of the pinkish ones is for women. I have no idea what the other one is for.

Hey thanks! My reply to you somehow was posted twice, so if you see another in your inbox that’s why. I deleted this one just before you replied but the other is still up.
