give em the old “ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about frogs”

this is like, the definition of blasphemy

have you tried having extremely food-motivated autism to the point that your day is ruined if you don’t get the right food? as a bonus you get motivation to work out because mmmm more space for yummy food in my tumtum omnomnomnomnomnom

violation of rule 1:

what i’ve FINALLY found to reliably help is exposure to the sky, watching the sunset and sleeping on my balcony.

There are some other actually scientifically based suggestions in this video but the above is what seems to be the crucial thing for me.

that sounds somewhat like Pathologic Demand Avoidance

personally, and i’m more on the autism side of the spectrum, i benefit from someone nudging me and ideally helping me do something, but telling me to or forcing me to do it is just abusive.

really though, just ask the person in question what they’d prefer.

unrelated to the OP but a suggestion for your problem:

Waveup has a setting to lock the screen after X seconds with the proximity sensor covered, it’s not very sophisticated and thus it can be a bit over-eager, but if the phone being interacted with by your leg while in the pocket is driving you up the wall then this should fix that.

i can assure you japan isn’t that much saner than the rest of us, like really the one big thing they have going for them is pretty good urban planning and public transport.

Where most nations have people working their asses off because they need money to buy food, japan made the innovation of having people work themselves to death mostly out of social obligation instead! Much more exciting.

this is effectively the hardware equivalent of having a public API, sure you could technically reverse engineer your own server implementation, but really you’re going to use it to make stuff that interacts with the existing server.

quoth wikipedia: “A parody is a creative work designed to imitate, comment on, and/or mock its subject by means of satirical or ironic imitation.” … “The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon said ‘parody … is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text.’”

this is how i feel about basically all technology nowadays, it’s all so artificially limited by capitalism.

nothing fucking progresses unless someone figures out a way to monetize it or an autistic furry decides to revolutionize things in a weekend because they were bored and inventing god was almost stimulating enough

Money isn’t everything, but we live in a society where you need it to get anything.

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but good fucking luck being happy when people will merrily let you starve if you don’t give them money.

Now, what does buy happiness and is basically everything? Other people, social interaction, having support networks.
Knowing everyone in your neighbourhood and supporting each other if you need help is an extremely cheap way to give each other a baseline of happiness and make life feel more whole.

It’s a bit of a shame that ADD isn’t a thing anymore, just dropping the H makes it a lot less misleading. The attention deficit part is broadly descriptive of my issues

can’t relate, my reader’s block is that i could follow 100 stories with daily chapter releases and i’d still read them all in 5 minutes and then sit there crying because i’m bored out of my mind

3.5 surely?

thing is, games aren’t pretty because they model every cell in every lifeform and have 5 gigabyte textures for each individual leaf, they’re pretty because they have good graphical design.

Just lighting alone is like 50% of making a scene look nice, you can literally just slap together a low-poly flat-colour scene in blender and set up nice lighting and people will call you talented.

A prime example of this is valheim: ps2-style models and textures and yet the lighting and general graphical design makes it look lovely and atmospheric, especially combined with the music.

it’s hard-drive.net though

This stuff is wild, here in the nordics we call chocolate balls rolled in pearl sugar “N- balls” and of course a certain subset of people love to go “but you can’t say that anymore”.

yeah no shit einstein, it’s a slur

MLK junior literally refers to himself and other black people as “The Negro” repeatedly in his “I have a dream” speech, if you still want to imagine that it was a slur then you’re simply deluded.
