So for the last 10 years I've been pretty much checked out I was able to finally have a roof over my head and food in my belly and I decided to just stay home I went nowhere I talked to pretty much no one. I didn't really have any friends I was in Self isolation mode for real. The thing I did do though was I focused on things that actually were real I became an atheist I watched science programs galore I watched Gary Vee. I basically was just looking for the good in the world the exploration the true and the now and forgot what my world had been like prior to this. I found a new friend and I feel ready to go out into the world again to meet actual people and understand what life is like in the world beyond my four walls.

So space is not hospitable to human life we need a whole lot of technology in order for us to exist out in space. The ability to travel great lengths takes a whole lot of energy and technology and a lot of things that we are just unable to create at this time. we may see ourselves in danger on this planet due to the possibility of a nuclear winter or climate change the thing of it is is while it may diminish the size of human life the amount of humans on the planet all these things may not actually do like they did to the dinosaurs and caused us to go completely extinct and we're not even sure like there's still like dinosaurs are still in the gene pool as it were so Evolution Evolution will happen they'll be human life possibly in another form because we weren't the first to have the capability of thought such as we have it we're not unique and special as we would like to think that we are. we may not be immortal but we use our language as a way to write our thoughts down to immoralize us in a way so there are some life that actually lives hundreds thousands of years and doesn't say a word we have to use our words in order to be immortal. there is most likely thousands of planets across multiple galaxies that have life just like us that will never know they're not alone in the universe just like we don't know because at this stage of the game our planet is our best bet to stay alive I mean we think you know if we have on your nuclear winter and you know most of the planet loses most of it s ability to survive that that will be the end of us all but it's not it's going to be the end of many but not all and I don't think we're comfortable with the idea of like going well I might be one of the many but we don't need to go to another planet to fucking live this planet offers us the ability to live and we can create things to make it continue for you know a small minority of us to live. I think that's what people get frustrated. I'm not saying like there's a certain you know wealth or ability that gives you the right to life. Basically what you need to be able to do is be able to survive and guess who's the best of being able to survive it'll be poor fucking people that will be still here when nuclear winter happens because we know how to survive when there is nothing left.

working full time is terrible why do we just accept that having 8 days off a month is normal and okay........ being alive could be cool but we waste it at our JOBS.... sorry i’m just heated about capitalism again i’ll be fine

[fbdbsgdg]

8 days....never thought about it like that 😓

[revere-irreverence]

This seems really whiny to me. Like, I agree with you, work sucks, but our ancestors didn’t get to browse tumblr at their desks or have the option to gleefully spend their ENTIRE WEEKENDS horizontal on the couch stuffing their faces/watching tv/playing video games/wacking off.  They didn’t have weekends. They just slaved away as fucking peasants from dawn to dusk until they died in childbirth or got the consumption.

I am perfectly happy working 8 hrs a day because I don’t have to:

grow my own food

find my own clean water

heat my house

shit in the woods

Hi, I study social and cultural anthropology. Humans working 40+ hours a week is 100% an industrial revolution thing and was not normal in the early stages of our existence. In fact, hunter and gatherer societies that still exist to this day spend about 15-20 hours a week TOPS working. The rest is dedicated to sitting around and telling stories and jokes, dancing, singing, eating, sleeping, fucking and so forth. Read a damn book.

The average American worker takes less vacation time than a medieval peasant

Medieval peasants lived grueling, terrible lives. But their vacation days beat out the policies now common even in progressive societies.

[bookwyrmth1rt33n]

🤔😬😡

[patentlyabsurdrpgideas]

When the medieval peasant - the iconic, screwed over, worst off person of pop culture - had more days and time off than you, something’s gone wrong. And apparently something has been wrong for a while now...

This ADHD and Autism Venn Diagram was requested even more highly than the ADHD and PTSD diagram, and I finally got round to making it…

[13faeinapenguinsuit]

Apologies for the difficulty reading this and the lack of text description (hands hurting too much atm and can’t find a version with text)

[failurebot]

I gotta say the executive dysfunction stuff on the ADHD side of this diagram should really be in the center because executive dysfunction is not exclusive to just ADHD. (coming from an autistic person who very much struggles with executive dysfunction and always has)

[13faeinapenguinsuit]

The reason it is not is because there are some very specific things that have been learned about ADHD impacting the frontal lobe - which plays a significant and outsized role in executive function. The same is not seen in autistics that do not meet the criteria for ADHD (and yes, this has been studied repeatedly, and no I do not have DOIs handy).

You are right that executive dysfunction is a large part of ASD for many of us. The difference is that with ADHD we know that there is a specific thing that is very likely causal. With ASD the most we know is that it happens; that a correlation exists but nothing to suggest causation. This makes it a symptom, yes, but not necessarily a clinical trait (though it wouldn’t surprise me if we did eventually find a causal source of executive dysfunction in autism, I wouldn’t count on it).

From a community perspective and a peer support perspective that is mincing words. From a clinical, Science! perspective it is an important distinction, I think. At least with our current understanding.

All of the above

I hope you didn't have to take it too far my autism travels from coast to coast

[trouble4k]

so as someone who is autistic it is difficult for me to lie the only way I can is by not saying anything at all like when a friend of mine told me you know you're a gay man trapped in woman's body right? I realize now the reason I didn't reply was because I knew his statement was probably true I just wasn't trapped in a woman's body it was the one that was made available to me because being obviously gay would have set off my holier than thou stepmother. & he would have hated me even more than she did as my father's oldest child who looked very much like her mother when she was younger. my childhood was not the easiest but I'm sure there's those who had worse I feel very fortunate to have been given enough of a optimistic perspective to look for the decency in the world and to not worry about those who would see me as a thre at or competition to whatever they were looking to do and treat me poorly because of it I just refused to become bitter because people didn't like me because there wasn't anything I couldn't do about it. I may even complete the other fuck up when I was younger but it was mostly on purpose even if that purpose was to completely burns bridge that I was currently walking over.

If you actually read this whole thing and it makes anything sense to you whatsoever I just want to give you this little tidbit of information that I feel is somewhat true that we are all just 5-year-old children who are trying the best they can to grow up and be whatever it was that believed in their minds they could do and so while you may not know what direction you are going your inner child does

Not being able to lie, not because you’re a bad liar but because you inherently automatically respond to questions with the truth and oftentimes you can’t stop yourself before you blurt out the answer

Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies mom is in the kitchen baking apple pies.

~ I use so many words to explain everything because I don’t want anyone to have a chance to misunderstand anything I say ever… and then I realize that everyone is bored and annoyed and no one is listening anyway ~ autism

[trouble4k]

I understand the whole thing feel that constantly be misunderstood but I finally figured out that we interpret the world from completely different thought patterns so when normal person hears you they are listening via their emotional brain and then their rational brain which is why they feel like you're being mean. on the flip side we are very literal and how we say things and how we receive things and so we don't get the implication of sarcasm or the emotional behind the words so it's talking to foreign language.
