    What song are you listening to right now?

    When I first came across that song, because of the John Wick movie, I had it on repeat for weeks. Different pace of rhythm but it reminds me of another song by Looper called Mondo 77. Another one that when it first hit my ears I had on repeat for weeks and now have blaring this morning. Hope you...

    Flashcards vs reading---Worthwhile when tired?

    I don't know necessarily about when tired. But personally when pressed for time I go to the flash cards though I've found that just making the flash cards is usually enough to cement whatever it is I'm trying to remember.

    What song are you listening to right now?

    Been enjoying this new track. Malinowski is the front man for a great Canadian trio called Bedouin Soundclash.

    What types of games are preferred?

    I'm really big into Openworld 3rd person perspective games. The Last of US 1&2 Horizon Zero Dawn - entire series Assassins Creed - entire series Far Cry - entire series Arc - the dino survival game not the other Arc mentioned below Fallout - primarily 76 but working my way back. I came late to...

    What was the last thing you cooked?

    My latest food obsession has been making meatloaf. Every Sunday for the last two months I have been working and reworking my recipe for meatloaf trying to come up with the perfect loaf. At the moment I've had the best results when I use half lean ground beef with half lean ground turkey using...

    List just one thing you did today

    Very happy to have finally replaced my pocket knife today. I always carry a small folding pocket knife, I think it's probably one of the most useful items you can carry regularly. Long story short at a concert a few months back I'd forgotten to take it out of my pocket at the hotel and at the...

    Your pseudo-skills?

    My pseudo skill is making people think I actually care what they have to say. As a result I get told often folks think I'm an empathetic person and 'easy to talk to'. Truthfully I have no idea most of the time what to say or do, so I just don't say or do anything and let the person talk. NT's...

    List just one thing you did today

    Enjoyed a nice slow stress free day at work. I like this time of year not for the holidays, but for it being year end and that means projects are mostly wrapped up and the office slows down until the new year when planning for the next round of construction begins.

    Had another run in with my (un)friendly local bully today.

    Outdated is correct. Standing up to someone like that is liable to get you hurt. Sounds like she's doing enough that she could already face charges for threats and intimidation. I would contact your local police. At least have a talk and see where they think the situation is at.

    Can an interest in romance be a special interest?

    This reminds me of what a buddy of mine refers to as the "Babe Ruth Approach" to dating. The willingness to approach them first and likely be shot down. Why Babe Ruth? Apparently, the same year that Babe Ruth held the record for the most home runs, he also had the dubious record for the most...

    What song are you listening to right now?

    I put the laugh react on your post simply because of my own confusion at first. I saw the title and at first I thought it was the Proclaimers, not the Pretenders, and with the song title of 2000 miles I was thinking, "Wait, did the 1000 miles guys write a follow up?". no no they did not.

    What should be your most important goals in life right now?

    This is just something I heard on the radio today but I like the thought of it. It was someone talking about Sigmund Freud saying that "the goal in life was to end unbearable misery so that we may simply contend with ordinary human sadness". Perhaps not the most optimistic thing in the world but...

    Is there a particular name for services that help clients build social skills more rapidly?

    There is always the old classic Dale Carnegie - How to win friends and influence people. As a young undiagnosed youth growing up in the 80's/90's I remember thinking I'd struck gold when I got a copy of that book. Despite it's age it was like "here's the secret cheat codes to social...

    Do you get along better with people with autism or NTs?

    I get along much better with other neurodiverse folks. Doesn't have to be exclusively other autistics. It's funny now that I think about it. I only found out in my 40s. But growing up all through public school, then both university and college all of the folks that I hung out with were either...
