    Windows 11 Zero-Tolerance On Incoming .EXE Files ?

    I've had this problem. IIRC I had to click on the download notification and expand something seemingly unrelated, then prompt it to continue, then tell it yes I was sure. - I wrote more but lost it when one of the bazillion ads on here hijacked the window with several popups saying my computer...

    I was cut off by another car, thus the horn...

    Not as wrong as the other driver was. My last post is not meant as chastisement, but more of a pep-talk, I guess. I'm well aware auties have a penchant for self-flagellation over social mishaps. However, most of the time it isn't warranted or even useful - most of the time we only feel ashamed...

    I was cut off by another car, thus the horn...

    Feeling passive or weak is irrelevant and a bad way to view it. They didn't cut you off because they saw you as inferior or target you for domination and shame. It's really simple: if they cannot think far enough ahead to plan their turn then they didn't have the foresight to premeditate an...

    Notice woman in a relationship are more friendly to me.

    I thought women assumed dudes in yoga classes were there just to find single women. This seems to be a priority of yours, so...yeah. No, it's not fair. Especially since the body positivity movement has left out overweight men. Married women, OTOH, are more likely to be busy, fulfilled, and...

    My language is too mean?

    ...for everyone that's dumber than you? That's the message I'm getting from that teacher's actions. Ok, so I'mma get theoretical, so don't take it as an accusation. But, on paper, the results are essentially that you no longer had to bully others (in self-defense) because you understood, deep...

    My language is too mean?

    I don't understand the point of any of this. Was the teacher trying to show you how much smarter you were than the other kids by illustrating it with disabled kids? Was she trying to traumatize you by subjecting you to such things at that age? Was she equating IQ to some kind of social capital...

    My language is too mean?

    When I was young I had family and authority figures call me mean names, but I didn't register these mean names as derogatory because they came from family and authority figures (because kids are trained to believe adults are never wrong). So, for the longest time I used mean names in...

    Questions on Autism Labels

    I thought the Nazi connection was common knowledge. It's not wrong for you to have strong reaction to this. But, countless things we enjoy today were discovered by or named after monsters. The Asperger thing is pretty small potatoes, but it is why no one in the community uses it anymore.

    Recent break up after 4 years

    Hrmm. Methinks there's a double-standard in interabled relationship issues when the man asks instead of the woman.

    Why are smokers so selfish?

    I hate the smell of weed, cologne, hair products, diesel, fresh paint/remodeling and other peoples' houses in general, and the over-abundance of people who pass gas in confined public spaces. I don't mind cigarette smoke, vape cloud, loud stereos, speeders, cyclists and joggers (usually)...

    Why are smokers so selfish?

    I thought it was silly when my town banned smoking in the parks, but continued to allow cars to drive through and maintenance kept using gas powered mowers and such.

    A good friend is now my "obsession". Help with a DM.

    If you can't remember then I doubt he remembers. He probably wouldn't remember any part of that conversation if asked. I say let it go. If you did legit spook him and he's pulled back a bit, then he's testing to see how you react. If you do nothing different or "weird" then he'll forget about...

    What did you say to him that you're worried about?

    A good friend is now my "obsession". Help with a DM.

    Dude don't send this. Very basically, the DM you have proposed crosses all sorts of social boundaries normal people need to feel safe when dealing with others. An NT would absolutely misunderstand this and find it incredibly inappropriate, and they would not take any time to read your reasons...

    Aspie BF and staring

    My guess - and this is just a guess - is if he never got any in high school or through his twenties and thirties then his sexual impulses are severely retarded for his age. His being with you has started (a very late) development, so his sexual brain is kinda starting from scratch. Of course, if...
