    Do you have difficulty remembering names of people?

    I find that I often forget names of people I have met or worked with a year or more ago. Sometimes I remember them much later after an interaction, but I often find myself forgetting, and I feel awful about it in the moment when I see them somewhere. In my career I have trained a lot of...

    Seeking your input. Would you work 12 hours per day, 7 days a week, for 45 days straight at high pay?

    I need alternative views on a situation. I was offered a work project today, to work 45 days in a row at a nuclear power plant. 12 hours of work per day. It sounds beyond exhausting, and from previous experience such a commitment leads to serious burnout. I could pay my $outhern California rent...

    Misogyny

    I believe there are some deeply disturbed misogynists that pollute this forum weekly with their “woe is me” posts about how women are the problem. It’s DISGUSTING to me and I do not see any rational reason for the nastiness. We have young members here, being exposed to folks with an openly...

    Analyzing low quality photos to find obscure details as a hobby.

    The largest component to my numismatic hobby is identifying rare coin varieties in less than ideal photos on auction websites. At times it has proved to be a highly thrilling and profitable hobby. I thought I would share some of what I do with this community. Here are some reference pictures...

    PlayStation 2 and Vice City. Tips?

    I have been playing the original vice city on ps2 recently, and for the first time I’m trying it without using any cheats. It’s kind of fun and a different challenge to actually play through without using codes to escape the police or for weapons. I’ve been trying to build up money to buy the...

    CAC coins!

    One of my special interests is coins. Particularly professionally graded coins. Grading includes authentication and condition evaluation where a grade is assigned from 1-70. 1 is poorest condition while still able to determine the year and mint location (if applicable). 70 is a flawless and...

    What is the best way to educate someone about Aspergers?

    I was asked to provide links, books, or information to someone I am dating, so they can better understand me. I appreciate the effort but don’t really know how or where to direct them. I would prefer, unfortunately, to not share this particular website because I use my real name here and would...

    Do you find cosmetic surgery disturbing?

    Please pardon this rant. It is not about medically necessary or helpful procedures, this is strictly about vanity procedures. I view unnatural changes to appearance the same way I see defacing a masterpiece as a crime. I have always found cosmetic surgery to be disturbing. I find the unnatural...

    Emotional awakenings through music, and the Magic Sword

    There are two songs in my life that caused an emotional awakening or extraordinary experiences. The first for me was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. The first time I heard it, as a kid, I had a profound reaction. I saw a flood of images in my head and a tidal wave of emotions. It was like viewing a...

    Feeding crows and hummingbirds

    I discovered in recent years I enjoy feeding birds. I mainly feed crows and hummingbirds now. Bird seed drew lots of awesome feathered friends but also unwanted attention from other animals so I stopped that. I do put food out for the local crows when they talk to me with their o-agh sounds. The...

    When genuine affection/love expressed is mistaken for love bombing, or how can we express intense passion without it seeming like love bombing?

    In a recent multi year relationship I found myself to have an overwhelming sense of love and happiness at times. There was a lot of great periods of time where I felt so happy and content. Like everything was perfect. This would usually trigger an intense emotion of wanting to verbally express...

    Are fairness and honesty detrimental to us regarding employment and life

    I have a set of morals/rules/personal code that I follow in life, when dealing with others. In my experience I feel as though characteristics of honesty and fairness have had more negative consequences than positive. I have been repeatedly punished/admonished/accosted/set backwards in life for...

    Half baked Dreams: what are your dreams you gave up on?

    I have had many “Dreams” of what I want to do with my life. Most of my dreams I had to logically give up, although I still feed the dreams a little, just in case I win the lottery or something. Some dreams I gave up are: Stoner snack restaurant with crazy munchies like cobbler, buttered pop...
