Yeah I do that too. When I get really enthusiastic about something, I can talk about it for hours. So, it exists.

I was told it is apparently an ADHD thing. Because some people I used to meet, did the same thing, about their favorite topic each. So, it’s an ADHD thing, apparently.

But I’m glad you can bring up the mental energy to talk about a topic for a long time! That means you’re healthy :-) (imo)

Life is like a dramatic river flowing through the rapids.

I have gained so many things in life, and lost them again, and gained others, and lost them again.

I do not predict the future. Let’s wait and see.

I wanted to add that i really really really did not want to hurt her. I’m just that dense (even if you can’t imagine it) and my gut feeling told me that would be a fine thing to do.

I’ll go first:

Yes, but not in bad faith. I really liked a girl in school and at some day after school (we were sitting together to do some exercises) I awkwardly approached her and tried to kiss her. To my defense: My autism is strong and doesn’t tell me when things are awkward. She pulled back and I realized how shocked she must be, so I awkwardly apologized. She said “yeah yeah it’s fine”. and i left. The next day, however, she avoided me and we didn’t talk afterwards.

I’m guessing that it was in fact not fine, and I’m sorry for making her feel bad. I’m not sure what to do, I never saw her again because my parents moved away so I changed school afterwards. I’m thinking about reaching out to her and apologizing again, but I’m not sure whether that’s such a good idea (it happened more than a year ago and I’d have to count on chance to figure out a way to contact her.)

Call me a nutcase but this story is true. Save yourself all the “ooh you’re such a bad person, you shouldn’t have done that”. Can anybody relate to this experience? Has anybody direct experiences being on the other side of this? I’d like to hear them. Thanks.

Yes. I’ve once ghosted a close friend of mine, because I had difficult health conditions and needed a break from school (that’s where we met). I didn’t want any human contact, so I just isolated myself and changed my phone number. It was unfair towards her, because she was a really likable person, but I just couldn’t handle any human contact at the time. I regret not telling her.

ricey crackers, they have chocolate and rice. everything one needs, besides some water…

Yeah, I predict that in the future, you can’t expect that content on the internet is written by humans. If you go to the internet, then it will probably not be to connect to other humans. Maybe you want to know something that a bot can tell you or you have some administrative task to fulfill, like filing a form.

First of all, yes, attempts have been made, but:

• E-Mail is widespread, but not simple. It’s quite complicated
• Other messengers often try to simplify the protocol.

Yeah there’s actually documentaries about this: like this (it’s in german though)

… hearkens back to basic Judeo-Christian values of kindness, human dignity, humility and prosperity.

So I feel like I’m doing peertube wrong. I’m trying to find good content, but it feels like every single instance I find is just “here’s the linux news, here’s the new linux tips, here’s the linux gossip, linux linux linux!” And I do not give a shit about linux. I just want to find the non-tech, non-video game content.

There’s also https://pony.tube ;-)
