| It's so interesting how people equate math with aspieness. Why is that? This could only be a stereotype conjured up by images of Rain Man, Sheldon Cooper, Spencer Reid, etc. I've been diagnosed as having Asperger's, but like a lot of other aspies, math is weak with me. You do seem to possess some t... |

| Zodai. I don't think I've ever actually changed it XD. BTW; I have some DOTA2 invites :D They give out tons of them. I had something like 17 of them and managed to give some away to friends, but mostly just ended up throwing them on the Steam store for pennies just to get them out of my inventory. ... |

| I've been hearing good things about it, like it having a focus on exploration and giving options for a first person mode, and I do like the TES lore and games. I have all of the main series of them, from Arena to Skyrim. Whether I actually play it will hinge entirely on whether they make it free to ... |

| I remember seeing this on... TV Tropes, most likely, pretty sure it was on the page for the game. It was hilarious and brilliant, and the way it manages to simultaneously undermine any serious attempt to play it and be far more successful than one is just perfect. |

| I'm usually only inclined to say it after having talked to someone for a while and having decided I actually enjoyed meeting them, so it's more of a goodbye than a greeting to me. If someone says it to me, though, I usually just say "you too". It's pretty unlikely someone who was being intentionally... |

| For a start, cognitive empathy(recognising the feelings of others through interaction) and emotional empathy(caring about their feelings) are entirely separate things. People with AS lack the former and people with ASPD lack the latter. As for your actual problem, I would recommend simply trying to ... |

| You seem to be confusing being religious with being a moral person in general. Ultimately, people will use anything to justify what they do, whether it's altruistic, opportunistic or sadistic. It is also possible to worship using the Bible without being part of any organised church, especially if yo... |

| I would recommend getting Planescape: Torment off of GOG and following this guide: http://thunderpeel2001.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/planescape-torment-fully-modded.html - it's a fantastic game that, while it admittedly would do nothing for someone looking for action, manages to be incredibly well writt... |

| My dad complains about 'poofs' on TV occasionally, despite knowing I'm gay and can hear through the entire house, but I get the general impression, and he has told me as such as well, that what he's actually talking about is acting camp rather than being gay, and that sexuality doesn't come into it.... |

| I've had maybe one or two people actually listen when I argue with them over this sort of thing. My argument tends to basically be that they didn't wake up one morning and weigh up whether they wanted to be straight or gay or whatever, and neither did anyone else. It has worked, as I said, a few tim... |

| Most people don't actually hate you, they're just spiteful because of some completely unrelated reason. The advice is to recognise that unless that behaviour is specifically directed towards you, they're probably just having a bad day or are terrible in general. |
