What's on your mind right now?

You make a very valid point as all autistic persons want to be seen as affable & friendly amongst others in a social setting. I, myself sometimes feel concerned how someone might see me in a negative manner.
I can recall how I was treated in a non pleasant manner after revealing what I look like to someone via an actual photograph not adobe Photoshop doctoring nor editing.

^Yes it can be hard to dare to be more oneself. It's a fact that we can not be liked by every one, just as we don't like every one either.

lol I got a kernel panic on my laptop

I was trying to add overclocking support for my GPU to the kernel, I obviously wasn't going to overclock much since its a laptop but I was trying to get a few extra fps. I guess I'll have to work on that, it screwed the pooch on the hook that allows me to detect my encrypted hard drive.

Kernel panics are fun

My childhood is nothing to write home about.

What's a pooch on the hook? Are we fishing for dogs? LOL?.

LOL that did sound funny but I meant a hook in computers. I was saying it was screwing up at that point.

Funny story actually, I fixed my laptop but I just created a new boot command for the kernel that didn't work so I can have a kernel panic on demand now for when I need to feel the feels

Which by the way, if I wasn't an idiot, I would have done that to begin with in case it didn't work but the fix was easy enough.

LOL. So what would a kernel panic feel like, other than frustrating?

Its just plain text on a screen, a kernel panic is the Linux equivalent of a the blue screen in Windows and surprisingly means basically the same thing. In non technical language, it just means the computer had no idea how to proceed. In this case, it was trying to read an encrypted hard drive without decrypted it. It became confused

It brings back nostalgia

Also unrelated and I think I posted this years upon years ago, possibly back when I was in college back before I even paid attention to anyone here and made 1-2 posts a year. Anyway, I got the game to work with sound tonight which can be semi hard considering it uses CD audio and it caused nostalgia so I am posting it again

That must be what differentiates the true hacker or tinkerer from the rest of us. You actually feel nostalgic, rather than frustrated, over a kernel panic or blue screen.

My mother invited me out for lunch and then some shopping today, but I don't know if I'll enjoy it much. After this week anything I get pleasure from feels like trying to enjoy the final meal before they bring on the lethal injection.

I'm worried I'll have a meltdown or start bawling so much she'll just take me straight back to the apartment, and have a very long talk about "it". Or "him". Not enough ear bleach in the world.

I cry and fall apart so much in isolation that I frequently worry I am going to having problems around people but most of the time I just barely get by so the good news here to relieve anxiety is that if you normally just barely get by, then it'll probably be more of the same. Which is to say no meltdown at least until you get away from the person your taking to. I had a major meltdown after dealing with people in my apartment but it was behind closed doors so it doesn't matter.

What do you mean by that? More specifically, what do you mean by:
"If you normally barely get by, then it'll probably be more of the same"?

Great... Communication woes, I love those

I meant that if you are going into a situation that you know is going to make you uncomfortable and you have a track record of going into situations that have made you uncomfortable and more times then not, you have survived. Then, odds are you will survive again. I guess what I am saying is if meltdowns around people are fairly isolated events then what are the odds that going into a uncomfortable situation is going to end in the worse outcome?

I burst into laugh when I saw this
