    You call this short? it was a little too long for me to read. 

    I will agree with you that Autism Speaks is indeed a big fat liar.

    I just saw one of their ads on YouTube and their likes are less than 240 while their dislikes are 3.2K. 

    The first part of this series of blogs was longer and I felt like there could have been more about autism's inaccurate media portrayal.

    I don't think they're lying exactly, but I think they're so severely misguided and hateful that they should all go chug some antifreeze.

    *looks up Autism Speaks on YouTube, and every result is either a video of an autistic YouTuber commenting on why it's bad or an Autism Speaks ad with a lot of dislikes* Well, at least there's plenty of people that are starting to see it.

    I was diagnosed with ASD at the age of 10 and I tick all of the boxes for the symptoms.

    I'm not happy with a lot of them, but the whole 'Specialized Interests' is something I actually don't mind. I love talking about Video Games - especially if it's Pokemon, Super Smash Bros., TF2, etc. I think I've made that apparent on this forum, but it's given me something to look forward to and they make me happy when I'm not in a pleasant mood.

    Some of the others have caused me many problems and have lead to things like being bullied. Not fun.

    I haven't been as of yet, but all of the broader symptoms fit and a good few of the more detailed symptoms that I didn't go through in their entirety 

    I'm not happy with most of them either, but as for just being different and having interests in gaming, cartoons, and all kinds of other things. However, it has gotten to a negative with me and League of Legends specifically to where I can't stop thinking about the game, even with the grief that playing the game (dealing with toxicity mostly) has caused me. However for the most part I have the same sentiment you do. It gives me something to look forward to and some even make me happy. But on that note, I was bullied a little for watching MLP. 

    I was VERY lucky on the bullying end. I do mean VERY. I only got bullied some. I'm surprised with all of my mannerisms and problems that it never got worse. It would have been if I had moved in sixth grade like I initially would have. I'd have been bullied for basically everything about me to be honest.

    Damn. LOL I actually read one of your tags and I like how you said that you aren't a liberal, but based on what you've said here, you sound like a SLIGHT one. Not an AVERAGE one, not an EXTREME one, but a SLIGHT one. I dunno.

    I kinda like this idea of posting your political views. I figure that I'LL do it as well!

    (P.S. I disagree about Eisenhower being one of the best, tbth.)

    I don't like calling myself a liberal for two reasons:

    1. Because I believe that the mainstream neo-liberal is not legitimately a left-winger. Most of the things they say that actually sound like left wing ideas usually get abused to try to woo more naïve leftists into actually voting for them. Even when they implement it also, they usually abuse it in one way or the other.

    2. Because I can't stand liberal politicians. They are entirely corrupt, and have this trend of putting on a show that makes them look better than they really are. But yet again conservative politicians are that way as well. 

    But I do agree with some of the stances taken by liberals, on some issues, but I also agree with conservatives on a couple of things as well. However, I agree with Bernie's and Noam Chomsky's stances on most things. I'm closer to a socialist than a liberal to be honest.

     

    I personally consider him among the best mainly because he paved (as close to literally as it could get) the way for our highway system. He's the one who implemented it back in the 50's.  He was also about as far left as a Republican could get, even at that time when some were even as far left as Bernie is. He literally said Medicare-for-all was only common sense one time. But yet again, I could be overrating him. May put Woodrow Wilson in that slot instead, as he was one of the creators of the League of Nations, which would be the predecessor to the UN.

    Armor in Overwatch is damage reduction, there is Healing Reduction in Ana's anti-heal, Sombra, Lucio and Mei employ massive CC reduction, There are several damage types such as projectile, energy, splash/AoE, ray, etc.

    There are elemental types as well, but there are no elemental resistances.

    To me, it seems you like more a fantasy flavor than futuristic Earth. Overwatch is based on technology rather than elements and abilities - so you're kinda comparing apples to oranges.

    I mean, it's okay to like one game over another for specific reasons, but just though I'd point out that your preference seems more deeply rooted than 'ability mechanics'.

    Okay, but there's not even remotely as much of any of it as there is in Paladins, and it's also less impactful. If it weren't, it would be much more noticeable. As for Armor being damage reduction, that confuses me considering the way Armor is presented and appears to function. It almost seems to function exactly like a shield where it takes a certain amount of damage and it's gone.

    There's fire and poison damage in Paladins, but there's no resistances for either of those.

    Actually, I like the futuristic themes of Overwatch better than the theme of Paladins. It's actually a part of what I like about the lore of Overwatch. But the thing with it is that the stakes seem low considering the game's conflict is presented to be a global problem. As for comparing apples to oranges, no it's not like that at all. Both games are hero shooters. Both games have a lore centered around two opposing factions fighting each other in a way that impacts the lore (since I'm thinking you mean in a lore sense). But even then, I did say that I think Overwatch has better lore than Paladins, so I'm confused by the point here.

    If you actually read all that I posted instead of nit-picking, you would know my gripes extend past the shoddy design of the game's mechanics. The balancing of the game has consistently been terrible (not just now, but for the game's entire lifespan), and also the lack of actually impactful character customization makes me lose interest in the game much more quickly (as I can't just play different builds to keep it interesting). Not even to mention the problems with character switching and the actual structure of the game's main competitive game mode.

    Yes my criticism is mainly centered on the gameplay and the mechanics, but considering we are talking about video games, particularly video games that you may play for hundreds even thousands of hours, the way the game plays is really important.

    I have paladins on my switch, i played it only one time and couldnt understand anything the only thing i knew was gotta atack and defend some moving vehicle oh and shoot bad dudes xd

    Used the shaman girl that use stones. Was pretty fun

    Well, the game is pretty complicated for a newer player to get the hang of so I can't necessarily blame you.

    That's actually a dude :P (a very creepy dude that likes smelling people's hair :eww:) I played him a lot a while back. I wish he was better personally (I mentioned him in the section with the other underwhelming supports) because I was able to win with him a lot when he was good. I personally started with Pip, or that furry fox thing with something that looks like a grenade launcher. I was pretty good with him when my computer was performing well enough to aim (I played it on PC).

    I have a little personal conspiracy theory that sites which do that late ad-loading do it on purpose to register accidental clicks for more ad revenue. The idea of making your content appear as fast as possible is a great idea, but late loading shouldn't cause your website layout to readjust itself. That's just crap web design.

    I don't think they really care, to be honest. All most of the people who own some websites want is more money, and I feel like the way ads are presented on those websites are proof.

    Yeah, I've been laughed at for the way I do things. I was with a group of guys the other day and I shook someone's hand in a different way to most - One could call it a weird way. The guys proceeded to take the piss out of me, until I got up and left. 

    Yeah, things like that can be difficult. I personally don't open up to many, as I fear how people will see me. I have a lot of conflicting thoughts each day, so I understand.

    No Problem.

    I got laughed at for several months for repeatedly opening and closing a door out of a hotel room, because I didn't know how to open it. Didn't really help that I was having an anxiety attack at the time...

    That's only part of it. I also am having trouble with it on a personal level also. Part of me feels like I'm just a guy going through a long phase, and the other part feels like I'm at least sort of feminine if not a girl in a boy's body...

    I know the struggles of Asperger's Syndrome and the things that you've listed all apply to me. I couldn't tie my shoes until I was 11, wet the bed until I was a teenager, couldn't write properly for a long time - even now I can't write neatly. I'm no professional, but I'd say that it's likely that you have Asperger's. Asperger's can make things rather difficult and I empathize with your troubles.

    I don't have any personal experience with Gender Identity but I've had feelings over my identity on different matters. Not the same things, but I've had conflicting and awkward feelings regarding myself as an individual, so I do understand. If you feel different to what you are, that's perfectly fine. 

    No, these aren't a waste of time. It can be quite refreshing to release your thoughts into these and if it makes you feel any better, I'll keep reading them. 

    That literally sounds like me. I couldn't tie my shoes until I was 10, I needed Pull-Ups (basically diapers for older kids) until I was 13 or 14, and I'm still one of the few people who can really read my handwriting. Well, somebody agrees with me. Some of my classmates who acted like they were my friends  (but were much more like bullies) laughed at me when I made the very suggestion. Yet again, it's always nice to have someone else who can empathize with me, because few people in real life seem to really do that whatsoever. I've been yelled at more than once also over these sorts of issues which makes it a bit harder to open up about it anyways.

    It's nice that I'm not the only one with an identity crisis. It's really been a struggle for me considering that I can't find basically anyone in real life to open that up to. I had a friend who considered themselves gender fluid, but I graduated a year or two after I met them. I also had an ex that knew, and at the time he even called me the name I was thinking of changing to after I got a sex change. But them I got conflicted because I inserted logic and politics where I should just go with my feelings. 

    Thanks. Knowing me, I'll probably come up with more vents and random blog posts like these.

    Go to a library or a place with wifi. Find some basic job to get enough money for a place to live and look for better jobs.

    Well, that would sound like a nice thing to try, but it's hard to hold a job without reliable transportation (which I don't exactly have, considering it's gotten so bad that my dad can't even afford to put gas in his car now). With how reliable the transportation is, it may not even be that easy to go to the library either.

    But luckily enough I got an idea from talking with the friend of my dad's. She doesn't work, but she seems to be getting a little tired of relying on somebody else to pay bills and stuff. She proposed the idea of going to work at a farm that's in need of hands. I had the thought maybe I could go with her to work, to make my own money. From what she told me, it sounds like they're going to need plenty of help there.

    The only things here are that I'd have to move in with her still, and get acclimated to living in her house. Even though I pointed out that I may not fit in that line of work (they need day laborers and harvesters, for mushrooms at the moment from what I hear), I probably could make it work. After all, I help my dad do things from time to time, and I am capable of that. Even though the help they need is a little more regular and a bit more constant, I could manage considering that I've dealt with my share of strenuous physical activities including being a sousaphone (marching tuba) player in the high school marching band. Though that may take some conditioning.

    She also threw forward the idea of working at a sandwich shop in town with her daughter (who's thought of working so she can afford to buy her own things). Never thought about it, but maybe I could manage that as well if I worked on my social skills a bit. Hopefully, I wouldn't be up front. Maybe I could find another job other than that or one that doesn't require a food handling certification (they take some time to get, from what I've heard from people who've gotten one before). Yet again, I would still have to move to her house here also, but that probably won't take too long and hopefully not too much space.

    So I should start off by asking if you have any other family members or trustworthy individuals that you could possibly move in with.

    If not, I could suggest talking to your dad about how you are not happy with the way he is doing things - Although I can't guarantee this will work.

    Hopefully there's some sort of alternative, as it really doesn't sound like living there is an enjoyable ordeal.

    Potentially, I have a couple of options, but they'd require some sort of communication that might be a little bit difficult for me to make. I have a brother that lives in an apartment in San Antonio (which is about a 2 hour drive away from where I live now), but I have no real way of contacting him (no phone, no internet...) and I might have to step up a bit considering he's having issues affording his apartment, even working for a dollar or two above minimum wage, from what I hear. I also have people I could move in close by, but there seems to be a lack of space. I've stayed over a few times, but I had to sleep on a couch (which only ends up working because I'm skinny enough to fit the little room there is for actually laying down on it). I'm also concerned about finances on their end, because they seem to live paycheck to paycheck (one of them works for some computer people, at least I think). My grandma has "no room" (not exactly true, but can't convince her otherwise) at her house, and my uncle is already having difficulty financially, so there's no point really calling either an option.

    I know my dad, and I can unfortunately basically guarantee that it won't work. He probably wouldn't understand his dysfunctional way of operating makes my life worse on me. It would probably just end up being a bad argument like it always is when I want to talk to him about something and he doesn't exactly like what I'm saying. Like the time I tried to tell him that he needs to clean up after himself (because, yes, that's a problem), and he forced me to pick up remains of dead chickens for two or three hours before grandma intervened (she lived where I do now at the time). It actually caused me to miss a band practice also, which kind of confirms for me that he has a quite troubling lack of concern. It also doesn't help the issue that a large chunk of it is that he has less money than I do in the bank, so he can't really fix most of the bigger problems.

    I've tried to express that I need to get out of here several times to multiple people, but it never really seems to get anywhere. I've talked to my grandma quite a bit about it, but the response always seems to be all the problems that I'd have finding another place to live. I've also had a discussion or two with one of my dad's friends (the same one who I stay for dinner with from time to time), that ended with the thought I could move over with them, but I already expressed how it may be a bit tight. It's definitely not an enjoyable ordeal being borderline homeless (only have the house in the first place because my grandma is generous enough to pay the taxes on it, and only have electricity most of the time anymore because she's generous enough to pay the bill) and being unable to do anything to remedy it, I can genuinely agree with that.

    Ah, I see. For as long as I remember, unfamiliar bathrooms have caused me to have anxiety attacks. One was so bad, it almost caused me to commit suicide, afterwards. 

    Yeah, I hear it all the time. 'It'll get better soon' or 'Things will change'. I used believe it, but after hearing those words for the fiftieth time, I stopped. I mean, there's a chance that things could get better, but it may take a very long time.

    I suppose that's the best I can do at this point. I can't really change how I am, so I guess I have to deal with it.

    I understand completely, I don't think I'd be able to tell the person whom I liked how I felt, as I'd probably just freeze up.

    I have trouble talking to others, so sometimes I use weird hand gestures to start a conversation ,with the price of possibly freaking that person out.

    Yeah, I know that too well. I've released my problems to others in the past and they simply assumed that it was for attention.

    That hasn't happened here yet, luckily.

    It's no problem. As I said, I can relate to a lot of things that you've mentioned, so I can understand completely.

    That's good. When I talk about my life it releases some stress, but it also reminds me on how shite things can be.

    It never got that bad, but it caused a few accidents in elementary school. Luckily I stayed at the same school since 5th grade and I got more familiar with the bathrooms. I've begun to manage it at social events by just going in the hotel bathroom instead. I end up going a lot in a few hours, but it's better than doing the potty dance for hours at a convention.

    Yeah, and it may just not even happen. In my case, over the past couple of years, things have only been getting progressively worse...

    That's probably for the best anyways... I'd suppose. I never really wanted to be "normal" to start with. But, for the parts that cause real life problems, I just have to deal with it for now.

    Well, I covertly flirted with him a little (mostly prodding and poking at him from across the lunch table), but it was probably just irritating him more than anything else.

    Sometimes I grunt or make some other sort of weird noise to try to get somebody's attention because I can't start conversations, but it rarely works.

    I released them a little to my brother and he thought I was just being overly dramatic at the time. 

    I think that may be in part because there are plenty of Aspies on the forum just like we are. 

    :) 

    Exactly.

    I can understand these feelings that you're having.

    I have high anxiety, have Asperger's Syndrome, lack self-esteem and am a very anti-social individual.

    Pretty much all of things that you've listed, have applied to me within the last seven or so years.

    I can ramble on how things will get better, but the truth is, that won't always happen.

    However, know that you're not the only one who has felt like this, in fact I felt like garbage today as I didn't know how to talk to a person who I really liked.

    While I can't necessarily help, I can lend an ear if you want to release these feelings, as I've been there many times.

    Also, don't worry about this being similar to another person's post. Writing these things out, can be oddly therapeutic. 

    At least I'm not the only one.

    As you can see, I can most certainly relate to that...

    Iin my case, I'd be inclined to say it's applied to me as long as I can remember. The phone ringing thing has been around all my life as far as I can remember, and I used to be completely unable to talk on it without having an anxiety attack beforehand. Heck, I wasn't comfortable calling my own grandmother when I absolutely needed to until high school... And it caused problems, for sure. One time she almost called 911 because I didn't come home from school. Oh and when I got home at 9 in the afternoon, she had a fit, and I certainly can't blame her for that. I made her worry about where I was. If I were in that position, I'd more than likely have an attack.

    At least you're not injecting me with optimistic BS. I am tired of that, people just saying "trust me it'll get better." It hasn't yet (and it's been a couple of years since I graduated), so what's supposed to make me believe that? Even then, they're usually not even specific about how they say it'll get better. 

    All you can do is try and get through it, I know that from experience. I had a crush on a boy in high school and only ever said a word about it to a couple of people I really trusted with it. I never told him about it, because I couldn't. Even if I got the confidence (considering I'm a boy and he isn't gay), I would certainly go mute. After all, that's always what happens when I really need to say something. I just get so nervous I lock up. It was so bad in school I had to have my brother actually talk to people for me. I'm more than grateful he was able and willing to accommodate for his weird, somewhat edgy younger brother with social issues.

    I release these feelings on here so often that I sometimes feel like I'm making somebody think I'm just saying this for attention or something (which as you seem to be able to see is far from the case), and I hopefully will be able to talk to somebody who can really do something to help me out. But I more than certainly appreciate it.

    Oh it's almost identical. But I guess he's okay with it considering he read it and didn't flip out... It just feels wrong to take somebody else's blog post and make a near identical copy of it.  It's probably just me like a lot of things are. It really depresses me to talk about my life, but at the same time it also makes me feel a little bit better also.

  13. Honestly, it doesn't bother me that much. Partially because I end up using profanities quite a bit myself, but mostly because I just don't really care about it too much. It can get excessive, but I've heard very few instances that it has in my mind. Honestly, most people I know hardly swear when they talk at all.

     

    But what DOES bother me is when people say "you know" at the end of EVERY OTHER SENTENCE. What I know is that you need to STOP DOING THAT.

    You don't necessarily need surgery to "be" trans. Many people have gender dysphoria but choose not to undergo it. There are also identities such as nonbinary, genderfuid, agender, etc., which, for some, fits better than having to identify rigidly as either a girl or guy.

    I know that, that's why I said I stopped being trans. I never had surgery done or anything.

    I feel it was the only way for me to actually enjoy life and enjoy being myself. Depression, hatred and darkness was just too much for me at times. I've always felt something was odd or different about how I was and looked. Felt that way for years. If all that makes sense. It's a bit complicated and hard to explain honestly.

    I understand perfectly. I have went through the same thing for probably 7 or 8 years now. I just stopped being trans because I thought about expenses and thought if it was really worth it. I'm not entirely comfortable in my body, but I'm not so uncomfortable that I'm willing to spend a few thousand dollars to change it, and still be kind of uncomfortable.

  16. It's really sad that people try to twist a topic that had NOTHING even remotely to do with politics... into something political. The whole School Daze thing was one of a vast amount of instances, MLP or otherwise. I'm tired of that, but people's need to be problematic can't really be fixed... They'll just start drama regardless.

     

    I don't blame you. I would've done the same thing long ago if I didn't need this place to vent, occupy my time, and actually communicate with other people. After all, too many people have tried to stir up drama here recently and I've been sick of it for at least a good couple of months now. This place has been going down the drain over the past few months, I was even beginning to notice it when I was here on my old account... Seriously, I've been hopeful that maybe it will quit happening, but instead it actually only seems to get worse. This place used to be really nice a few years back (sure there were a few people that I'm GLAD got banned), but it's slowly becoming a cesspool of crud.

    There's no such thing as sexual equality. Sorry but sex is a person's choice and they are allowed to be as prejudiced about it as they desire because it's their body and they have every right to not give it up to another person based upon any reason. There's no reason to bother promoting something that won't happen.

    I do not understand that logic, but furthermore is all you intend to do just try and flip my posts back on me and use my words in a reconstructed sentence against me? I mean it's pretty clear you're looking for a reason to take issue with myself, and trying to get some kind of emotional reaction out of me when I have made it pretty clear that I am operating on logic, not emotion or offense.

    I did read the posts. I am stating that I feel he is angry that women get a "better" hand in society by his perception. 

    Again, I don't see why you're going to far out of your way to find a reason to take issue with me, but I don't really find any of this productive. I'm sorry if something I said offended you, that was not my intent.

    This is a pretty lousy excuse to be against the idea.

    Ironically, you just made it seem even more so that you are operating on offense, by slandering my post meant to question your intention behind these replies. But you're taking it as an attack. I never said you were I was just saying it seems like you are, but apparently all you read into it is that I'm somehow trying to anger you by questioning your own motives for posting these replies to his blog. 

    And I'm stating that your perception makes you seem like a third-wave feminist. Making the argument that he has no reason to ask questions on society because they're all about men is kind of nonsense. Apparently it must be made clear that I don't mean offense by that, because when I question your argument you seem to believe I'm trying to start something. I only asked a question concerning the nature of your post.It was toned badly, sure, but that was all it was.

    I'm not going out of my way at all. All I've had to do is read what you typed. If it wasn't meant to be the slightest bit inflammatory, you've made it very easy to misinterpret.

    I'm not offended at all. Why would I be?

    Sometimes we have to say what people don't want to hear to truly help them. I can't help but notice that in the past three blogs they have been complaining about how the world is unfair to men and that women have all the advantages.

    When someone makes three blogs in a row complaining about women, I feel it's only logical to propose an animosity toward women as a potential cause, wouldn't you? Logically speaking it makes the most sense.

    I don't know why, but you make it sound like you are.

    So...? That automatically makes his arguments about the subject invalid...?

    When somebody makes a reply complaining about a post that's only trying to promote sexual equality (no matter the concern), I feel it to be logical to question if they're somehow offended or not. Also, if you think he was actually complaining about women, instead of about society, you didn't read the posts.

    Okay I am going to be real here for a second and I want you to take this with a grain of salt: I have seen a lot of your blogs regarding women, relationships, etc. and is it possible that perhaps you have some resentment toward the dating scene for your own lack of prowess in it? Not trying to be a bitch here, but I can't help but notice you complain a lot about how men (which you are) are unattractive and women are so lucky... I am sensing a lot of animosity toward women and it's becoming internalized self hate.

    Why do you have such animosity toward women, might I ask?

    I want you to take THIS with a grain of salt: Are you only posting this because you're offended by what he's posting? I don't see what would be so offended by it, but your tone here makes it seem pretty obvious that it's it to me.

    There was literally nowhere that he even hinted at animosity towards women.
