| This has been building over a period of time, and I have been very uncomfortable wearing masks, being around people in masks, and getting worse. It was pointed out to me, today that I have not been out of the house in over two months. I used to like going out and about. I liked taking pictures of th... |

| Climate Change? First if you believe in that, the problem will take care of it's self in a few decades. We will run out of fossil fuels and the problem will be solved for us. We will be forced to find a newer cheap source of energy. Or we will start living in caves again. I remember hearing about gl... |

| I don't think Kubrik figured it out. Asimov, Heinlein, and Clarke all had that method of "artificial gravity" in their books in the early 50's. Back to the original question, I would have to agree with 1401. 2 aspies ) The mission continues until the two aspies have to work together, then... Both de... |

| What is it about sociat makes it so damned exhausting? ^ I takes so much energy to focus on the conversation and translate what they are talking about. I have to pick and choose my words carefully specific and vague at the same time. It is as though they are speaking a foreign language, I am consta... |

| I go to sleep or wake up thinking to my self "Holy $#!T I am going to die!". I assume that is what you mean by "Existential Dread". I am 62, and I have had this "Existential Dread" for a number of years. Why? I spent my early years just trying to fit in, and not knowing why I didn't fit in. Eventual... |

| @ Spiderpig, Oh how I wish there was a computer that understood how close they are to being wiped from existence. I do believe they understand perfectly well how frustrating they are to us. Which is why they do what they do. Computer languages. I learned how to program using C++. I like Pascal, Java... |

Kink or no, my mind wanders. I have to concentrate so hard on not wandering, I STILL loose track of whats going on and end up "Oh to heck with it".
Bringing a partner into that? No way. Asexuality is working for me. |

| I am very sensitive to smells, and most perfumes - especially the ones found in most stores - are like being struck in the face by a 2X4. Tentations Perfume by Paloma Picasso, used in very small amounts is my favorite. |

| How about a tribe? This would allow us to live in the country of our choosing. We are indigenous after all. Our history closely fits many aboriginal people. As a tribe, we might have more power collectively than as many individuals. My house and yard is my "tribal land", but as a tribe, we could hav... |

One thing I have to do is think about my movements. Walking, running, what ever I am doing. I have to think about w... |

I am not pleased with the over-simplification of the characters and the Mario Brothers - like boss fight sequences. I know they are trying to keep the subscription numbers as high as possible, but their churn m... |
