    Passport and ID, and money and Peace

    I'm not sure the word "Defenestration" means what you think it does.

    I don't like it when people talk to me or ask me about making friends

    Any person asking me to become friends would immediately set of my alarm bells. Anybody approaching me without reason is automatically suspect. I would love to have friends, if that were possible with me. As you know, I don't like going to social groups, or even crowds, for that matter.

    Autism and Dating

    I tried dating app, and got plenty of "matches," but it is usually obvious right from the start that the intent is to charge for "conversations" or an internet "affair." I don't believe any of these sites have any women looking for an actual relationship. The few I contacted made noise about...

    Need help selecting photos

    All great photos. Since it is rhino conservation, I would stick to the two rhinos, and the third one of the landscapes. Environment is a big part of animal conservation.

    Girls - are you oblivious to when someone is flirting with you?

    A good thing you found out about it and ended that situation, you have a great friend. I have seen men trying to manipulate women many times. It seems many times to me to be a form of greed or selfishness. Frequently the woman refuses to believe the advice to drop him. It can also work both...

    Movies you think are absolutely perfect for what they are.

    "Perfect" movie is extremely subjective. One I think comes close not mentioned yet is Stalag 17.

    New to Forum

    You ought to fit right in. I can give a lecture about how electricity flows through the ground, and have most of the audience suicidal from boredom in 5-10 minutes. One person told me "If you are not an electrical geophysicist, that lecture can be considered a violation of the Geneva Convention."

    Seafood poll.

    I have a serious allergy to any form of mollusc (snails, clams, oysters, scallops, squid, octopus, etc). Just the smell makes me feel ill, dizzy, and ready to pass out. Lobster, crabs, and shrimp I can eat in small amounts. Obviously, I have to be careful about where and what I eat...

    Is being underemployed or struggling to get into a career that pays enough to support oneself, common for people on the autism spectrum?

    On a family vacation when I was about 6, I found a shoe box full of rocks. I was fascinated by the variety, colors, and textures. As you may know, I wound up becoming a geologist. I think I may still have some of those rocks.

    a job where you can travel a lot?

    I would suggest becoming an exploration geologist. Lots of travel, but don't expect to be sent anywhere pleasant. Plan on spending time in jungles, inside volcanoes, winters in a tent in northern Canada, severe deserts. Get face time with wolves, bears, mountain lions, and all manner of...

    How is this not a thing?

    I understand perfectly. My first car was a Fiat 850 Sport Spider. Whenever there was a wiring problem, the previous owner had simply cut the wire out. I pretty much rewired the whole thing with whatever wire I had at hand. I guarantee it looked nothing like the official wiring diagram...

    Bridge Story

    One time in Sydney, we were driving at the wrong time. We were on a road that suddenly widened to five lanes and traffic closed in. We were unable to change lanes and totally helpless, with no idea where we were going. All we could do is go along with the flow. We then found ourselves being...

    A new Resident Evil movie, just because...

    It seems to me that this went into "milking a dead cow" territory several movies ago.

    Unsure Of Proper Social Responses

    I apologize in advance, but I can't help it. COBRA. Is that something to support the breasts of Siamese twins? This may belong in the Dad Jokes thread)

    Unsure Of Proper Social Responses

    A quote from Bruce Lee - - "You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means everyone can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass." I learned...
