What OS? Totally fine over here.

Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. I know a lot of people love it, but I had a coworker that played it endlessly at the office and as soon as I hear that whistling, I want to jump out of the window.

Likely not. I’m a cis straight man who tends to be into women who aren’t into men, so while particularly feminine women aren’t my thing, the parts matter to me in terms of dating/having sex. Fully post-op and passing would certainly consider, but I know that’s not always the goal for trans folks.

So, AI.

Yeah, I usually joke I’m too hipster for Reddit and use Lemmy when Reddit comes up, and nobody ever asks for more information. I feel like, at least in their current form, federated apps are too complicated/fussy for anyone who isn’t actively interested in moving away from centralized platforms.

I met one at a petting zoo, sat on the ground, and it crawled up into my lap like a cat. I died.

I shave my head in the shower every couple of days. Trim my beard once a week.

I have a Kindle and love it, but if you don’t want to go with Amazon, I think Kobos are a solid option! The current best models are the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kobo Libra Colour, but they both have cheaper models as well.

I can’t recommend getting an e-reader more. It’s so much nicer than staring at a backlit screen for extended periods of time.

We’ve looked at how our teams work best, and the data is clear: when people work together in person more often, they thrive — they are more energized, empowered, and they deliver stronger results.

Would be interested in seeing that data.

Not many. My phone is typically on Do not Disturb when I’m not working, and a custom focus mode I call Deep Work when I am working. The primary difference just being focus filters so I can use the same calendar/email app I like but not see anything work related outside regular work hours. I’ll check in on my notifications somewhat regularly, but basically nothing can actually ping me.

As someone in this camp, this is very accurate. I’m simply very selective about the amount of fucks I give at work, and save them for my personal life. It makes me a better worker on top of having better work/life balance.

I thought I was 37 before the gal I’m seeing learned my bday and told me I’m 38. Then I turned 39 a couple of months later, so I aged 3 years in a few months. It’s just a number, and gray facial hair looks great.

Why even ask if you’re just going to deflect opinions you don’t like?

Hope you get some help, dude.

Your personality is the problem, not the fact that you’re on the spectrum. I know plenty of autistic people who are very pleasant to be around, even those who are heavily introverted. If you put negative energy out towards people, they’re going to give it back to you.

They don’t see introversion and solitude as self caring, but as depression, being an ass and being antisocial.

As an introverted person who is also at least a bit on the spectrum, I really don’t think this is true. I’m very open about being introverted and needing to leave when my battery is depleted or turning things down when I need solo time, and I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced a negative or rude reaction from it. You already sound like you’re pretty misanthropic and tbh kind of a dick; I’d wager the people you’re having negative interactions with are picking up on that rather than your introversion.

Given the only sources I see for this story are the Daily Mail and The Sun, I wouldn’t put too much stock into it quite yet.
