  • [meme] How would you rather see this land developed?

  • The shores become resort property. The rest becomes a mini-mall. The resort buys the apartment complex a year later. With any houses, all houses get bought by cooperations and rented out as overpriced Airbnb houses. Fuck we can't have anything nice with unfettered capitalism.

    Edit: Sorry, off-topic rant.

  • On Self-Diagnosis

    Jump

  • I looked for a diagnosis. Called lots of providers and, in summary, they only providers that could accept me were expensive and lengthy. I don't have light or sound sensitivity (which isn't required) so I don't need accommodations. I don't have trama and have worked through most of my issues so I don't need therapy. There's objectively no benefit to getting a diagnosis for me other than claiming I have ASD. And there's some negatives, especially if traveling abroad. So yeah, with that, I don't want a professional diagnosis. I did lots of research and checked more than enough boxes in the DSM-5 to validate myself. Others' validation isn't worth a couple thousand dollars and hours of consultation over a year. If I needed support, it might be worth it, but personally, I feel I'm in a good place.

    I was searching for why I am different and found that it had a name and there are other who have similar experiences that I can relate to. That's good enough for me.

    I get gatekeeping and that people may be spreading false information or making the community look bad. Call them out then. Otherwise, an educated self-diagnosis isn't harming anyone. Let people be at peace with their sense of self.

  • Remember the Alamo? It's like that but the stuff that happened after, up until now. I don't know if there was anything before.

  • If the door is moving 1 meter per second, you are relatively moving 1 m/s towards the door even if you are stationary on the ground. You pass and, although you are still stationary to the ground, you are still moving 1 m/s in the same direction relative to the door. The door is the frame of reference, not the ground.

  • When you're running for your life and thinking you should have improved your cardio. You never use that gym membership. Everyone is too intimidating there. Maybe it'd be better to invest in a treadmill. Wait, you looked into that before. Wasn't it too expensive? [train of thought diverges for another minute] Wait, why did I come to this room again?
