Thank you for the link!

I’m with you, gonna have to wait and see how this develops

I can’t find a trustworthy news source on this. Please help me out, I would love to share this to a few people

I had scarlet fever when I was six, and when I recovered I kept trying to turn the TV off even when it wasn’t on. My parents eventually realized the illness gave me tinnitus. It’s so weird to see someone else describe it that way because no one really remembers that sound anymore haha

I eat breakfast consistently, usually some form of rice porrige and various veggies. Lunch is my most skipped meal, but I forget to eat dinner sometimes too lol

If I’m lucky I made rice for dinner and have left over to stir fry the next morning

Every college chemistry class I’ve taken (5 now) has had a professor asking why no living thing uses all d-aminos. Kinda sounds like that experiment may answer the question one way or another!

I had a string of relationships in my 20s as well, but I don’t think any of them were healthy and I developed my own drinking habit to cope before realizing I didn’t want that misery for myself.

Dunno if you want any advice to consider, but I’ve lived alone for most of my 30s, and I have to say having a pet really helps. I have a cat and a dog, and the dog does provide more opportunities for conversations to happen just seeing the same people on the trails we walk every day. These are usually shallow conversations so it’s easier to avoid feeling like I’ve upset anyone (it still happens lol “why did I say good morning that way??” but it’s low stakes at least). But even having a plant to take care of helps with the loneliness, because you have this living thing that occupies the same space as you, and even if you can’t leave the house today you can still share being alive and existing with this plant or creature.

Anyway, I wish you all the luck with your move and your new future

Edit: I just realized we’ve commented to each other before, I was on a different account though lol. I’m glad your move date is so close now :)

I have AvPD, and I am sure there is a genetic link, but it’s hard to separate it from my mother’s issues and treatment of me. She had schizo-affective bipolar and was an alcoholic on top of that.

I’ve found therapy to be a bit frustrating, because I am able to cope with my fears and recognize when I’m slipping into avoidance but still unable to form connections with people. I’ve been released from therapy but still don’t have any friends or relationships because I still react to other people’s unpredictable emotions with fawning and then cutting them out of my life lol

It’s a very lonely disorder

I’ve heard they can at least survive a fall onto snow lol

This is epigenetics, changes to a genome via stress and environment that are passsed to offspring. We’ve known for a while that older men have children with autism or schizophrenia more often than young men, and investigating the cause and mechanism like they have in this study will help people have healthier children in the future.

The type of RNA that are involved in this study are regulatory, which means they can help or prevent gene activity, and are very important in the development of an embryo because the egg doesn’t have this in abundance like the sperm does

I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.

Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.

Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk

Wow, Kid Rock is only 55

My dog smells my car bumper on days I’ve been out, so I assume she thinks I’m taking the car for a walk

From personal experience knowing someone who posted that stuff just to get a reaction out of people: he was beat by his dad (who then divorced his mom because she produced “that”) and was severely bullied in high school. It’s not an excuse, he just desperately wanted the world to feel as miserable as he did.

He showed me a video of someone being shot in the head once. Mind you, I’m the kind of person that breaks down when I accidentally run over an animal or hear a bird splat on a high-rise window. He thought it was okay to show me without my consent because the guy lived, but didn’t understand that violence, pain, and disfigurement are just as traumatizing as death.

He diagnosed himself with Anti-social PD while taking a psychology class, take that however you wish

I lived in Seattle and greater area for nearly a decade and had very few complaints about the transit system. I think the worst was it got pretty hot on the busses during the summer when everyone was leaving work lol

I left right as they started working on the light rail, why is traffic still so bad?

Ah! Okay once you finish all the bundles you’ll get the quest. It’s a grind, but worth it ^.

It’s in the theater! You have to choose the community center path then you’ll get a quest to convert the abandoned Joja warehouse.

I was going to bring up taking Abigail on a date to see cheesy movies and feeding her rock candy, but I enjoy the crane game a little bit more than that lol

I’m optimizing so I can afford to win all the prizes in the crane game 😅

Man that’s a weird photo. The lighting is strange, the shadows make the photo unnecessarily busy. Only one of the four has a natural smile. Melania is wearing a black leather dress for some reason? Why do most of them have weird hand positions? Also why are none of them touching their spouses?

My grandmother fully believed in sasquatch as a species, with subspecies in various environments. The ones where she grew up in the northeast were apparently larger, less hairy and more fat than the ones in the swamps where I grew up. To this day I still think she had just seen hunters, but she knew what she saw lol

Are you going to delete this one too?
