Will this do? Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 4, Episode 5: "Remember Me" (See "Quotes".)

Reddit, TikTok

Also Discord servers, I think. I've seen a lot of ASD related servers and some have a lot of members. Much more than this website. lol


Also in person and zoom based local adult support groups, a national charity forum (eg thr NAS in in UK), othrr soci media like FB, YouTube and so on. Plenty of other places.

One of the things I really like about this forum is it is set up like a traditional forum, so you can find the threads of interest to you and not be exposed the ones you will find harmful or boring etc. I dipped into the UK's NAS for a bit and wont return, because all that shows is rhe most recently commented on threads. Unfortunately, his generates repeat topics, with no history and therefore any kind of hive mind or history, and so this creates a feedback loop. Also, virtually all of the threads are people complaining, discussing suicide etc. Valid topics of course, but only seeing that is just not what I'm after. This place by contrast has cool threads (and what seems to be some cool people) where you can build up your rapport over time through humour, wit, you can sometimes even learn some things because the full history is shown. I think I'll stick around :D

My pleasure. I can't honestly say I remember seeing that specific episode but I watched enough of the series that I recognized the memes that popped out when I searched for the phrase.

If you find the episode I'd be curious what you think of it.

I'm 47. It seems that most of the regular members are between the ages 40 and 50 these days. I remember when I was in my mid to late 30s and I felt that I was too old for WP. That was when I was overly excited that I got my life back on track and I was really into The Kinks. The younger members who were here at the time didn't really like that. There were some who I thought were trying to tare me down.

Off topic, but, I don't know any The Kinks music.
Can you recommend a track that demonstrates their style?

That must have been something!

in the mid-1960s, you could hear the highest-charting rock groups at Palisades Amusement Park for only the price of admission to the Amusement Park---which was less than a dollar, including parking.
