Can’t they are too small and I can only know either where they are or how fast they are.

Literally literally means figuratively, or literally, however figuratively literally only means figuratively.

I honestly don’t understand that, I have always rounded up for money going out and down for money coming in. So if I see something priced at $3.25 my brain thinks $4, and if I earn $3.25 my brain thinks $3 dollars.

Dammit, I have those. Now I need to find enough beetles to fill it. Do you know how long that is going to take?

Nah things like this just come to me, kinda like intrusive thoughts, then they rattle around until I tell someone.

One of the few things I have morals about is that you do not fuck with peoples food.

Excuse me.

18, I had plans in place just needed to get some things in order, then my older brother killed himself, a few years later another brother killed himself so now plans are pushed back and I’m really trying to figure things out. Life happened, got married had a child. Had to keep shit together, new plan in place wife and child will be ok so time to go at 40.youngest brother commits suicide 2 weeks before my 40th birthday. I ended up getting diagnosed as bipolar at 40, and autistic at 50, life makes a lot more sense now but fuck if it hasn’t been a ride.

Boomer death death boom.

When I was a kid I went through the boxes that held all the family photos and threw away the ones of me, there is now very little physical evidence I existed at all up in till the mid 90s.

The way I avoided home work in the 80s was not do it and not care about the repercussion, though I did drop out at 16 and get my GED.

Go to church parking lots in early summer and put them in people’s back seats, you will have to take some zucchini out to make room though.

I dunno I’ve seen some bright rocks.

Or just his arms, but bears ain’t got no arms therefore you get no rights.

I’ve met more people who are proud sex workers then I have people who are proud fast food employees.

I think that perhaps you are letting your disgust for a person’s work color how you feel about the person. Do you feel the same about athletes and actors? They also “sell their bodies”.

Ok I worked at Walmart for 11 years does that mean my self worth is minimum wage? I don’t think so. My worth after I’m gone will be determined by the people who loved me and I honestly won’t care,what with me being dead and all.

If I thought I could make enough money from doing sex work your damn right I would and I would be more proud of that then my work at retail or a defense contractor or a member of the military.

Sex work is work and as long as everyone concents rock the fuck on.

I’m 55 and can honestly say I am more happy today then I have ever been in the past, not because of money or lots of friends but because I have learned a lot about myself in the last 10 years.

The problem will always be that companies and organizations will still use it as a primary communication platform, same issue with Twitter and face book, I have left all those platforms but still have sock puppet accounts so that I can access information that is difficult to find elsewhere. It’s kind of a never ending cycle.

We need a group of talented people who want to start making nonprofit social media platforms, but then maintain them in such a way that it attracts the companies, and organizations that currently use the for profit sites.

Lol I was going to say it sounds like all the AI shit that’s posted to the “today I fucked up” forums all it needed was a couple " I turned my phone off because it was blowing up" and oddly similar and unnecessarily given ages.

It’s probably because we tell kids about how dangerous scams are and all the problems that can occur, but we don’t teach ways to mitigate the issue when it does occur, the child was probably worried that all of their friends would fall for the scam and everyone would get in trouble, it honestly sounds like she was more concerned for her friends then she was about her discord account.

I’ve had adults act pretty much just like this, they are not well versed in how shit works but hear all the scary stories, so if things go a little wrong it is terrifying.

If buy “worked” you mean “caused me to not buy a product” then you are correct. I have no memory of ever buying a product because of an ad. In fact the ads I see are almost all for products I have no interest in. I get ads for fast food and I haven’t been to any restaurant in 10 years or so. I get ads for feminine hygiene products and I am male. I get ads in Spanish that I’m certain are for great products but I will never know because I don’t speak Spanish. I have even got an ad from a company that makes sand traps for off shore oil rigs.

To me ads feel like a person is trying to scam me it is the same feeling I get from door to door sales people and agresive sales people in general. The more I see an ad the less likely I am to hold positive feelings for the product.

I understand that I am nerodivergent and therefore my response to ads is atypical, but it is still my response.
