| Last year, before the COVID pandemic blew up, I went on a trip to India and Sri Lanka for 3 weeks with a group of other people (and who was there would change over time). I was very enthusiastic at first (as I always am whenever I go into something new and interesting), but over time, I became a bit... |

| I have an inner voice and it's tremendously overwhelming... it's constantly reviewing, repeating and analyzing what I'm doing and what's going on around me. And sometimes I get stuck in loops (the sentence about reviewing repeating and analyzing ran in my head for a solid 30 seconds after I typed i... |

| So gunshots early on before the explosion. I wonder if those had anything to do with the explosion to come? Maybe somebody was fighting over it? And what is the purpose of this explosion? Clearly, they didn't want to hurt civilians, but maybe they wanted to target cops? And if not cops, then what? T... |

| I went to sleep last night, and slept for only 3 hours. I had a dream that I was visiting my paternal grandmother and grandfather; even though my actual paternal grandfather is dead in real life. Anyway, I pulled up to them on the street in front of their house, and they were in a car parked on the ... |

| What I think I’m hearing is that others at WP, not just me, try to be or appear not as we are, but as what we think others want or expect or will like. I think we just want to fit in or be accepted. Doesn’t always work. Perhaps we come across as trying too hard, or inauthentic. Yes. Thank you for s... |

| I think one problem I have is that I am too often concerned about how I look to other people. I've always seen my differences as being shameful, so I always create a cover story. I know, people with Asperger's are supposed to be super-literal and to lack theory of mind, and I do have issues with tha... |

This scenario below would cause a complete failure of the law and constitution: How can it be that Congress slips into unbreakable deadlock? The law is a labyrinth in these parts, too intri... |

| I've had a lot of disappointments in my life. I tried to go into the Air Force when I was younger, for example, and I even scored a 98 on the ASVAB (with a 99 in Administration, and I had above 95 in everything but Mechanics, which I had a 63 in), but I was medically disqualified due to my Asperger'... |

| How do you know the conservative reaction to this movie is simply them not wanting women and girls to have more agency in their lives? They never seem to say that is their reason. They call it promiscuity or being vulgar, but they are things that are mostly leveraged at women. Men having a lot of p... |

| So while I think that both sides of the political aisle would be against a movie that sexualises children as young as 11, I think that the real reaction that is coming from conservatives is along the same lines as those clutch their pearls over the recent song; WAP. I am looking at Ben Shapiro. It ... |

Here where I live, we've been socked under smoke. It's stunk at times. The only upside is that it helps keep temperatures down by blocking much of the sun's rays:
That red dot in the sky there? That's the sun. It looks like the moon if it were red. |

| What happened to you as a result? Were you able to visit the dentist and deal with your problem? I'm just really curious about the ending of your story. I also had problems with one tooth. A very severe pain on the right side of the gum began abruptly and I did not know what to do. I usually don't ... |
