  • When I was in middle school I walked straight through the middle of a fight. Even went right between the two dudes who were throwing punches at each other. I was really confused as to why people were bunched up in the hallway until an old teacher who used to be in the military came out and started yelling at the top of his lungs.

  • I pretty much only use it to generate boilerplate. I've tried using it to learn the syntax of new languages and it kind of works, but in my experience just reading the docs is better even if it seems like a lot of text. Also your IQ really does not matter. You can learn anything as long as you're willing to put in the time and effort; don't compare yourself to others it's fine to go at your own pace. (I'm Autistic also btw)

  • I'm Autistic and I struggle with driving too. There's too many things to pay attention to and it overwhelms my brain. It took me 5 tries to get my license. I genuinely would not drive if I didn't live in the US and had access to reliable public transport. I cope with this by being very cautious. I have a hard time determining speed and distance so sometimes I will sit at a stop sign for notably longer than I need to which upsets the people behind me but I think it's the only reason I haven't gotten in an accident yet. I hate how car brained people can be. There's nothing wrong with not being able to drive and lots of people in non-car brained countries who don't.

  • I make 'em look normal with one thing off. My current character is a breton with her eyes all the way big, all the way apart, and all the way down, but is otherwise normal.

  • Mine talked about various contraceptive methods, STDs, and accidental/teen pregnancies. It did focus more on the pregnancy part than the STD part, but they also briefly talked about how condoms are still important even if you're gay, since they prevent STDs.

    I have a cousin I went to highschool with. He grew up in the south, but he finished highschool with me in Minnesota, and he told me his sex ed curriculum down south consisted of a brief talk on how sex is bad and that it is important to eat vegetables. Even though he had health class credits from down south, the school made him take their health class and he was happy to find out it's much more comprehensive than the south.

  • Most of the roundabouts near me have the crosswalks right up by the circle, so you'd have to either stop on top of the crosswalk, or stop with it in front of you. If you stopped with the crosswalk behind you, you'd be in the circle.

    And I do look at the circle ahead of time and will go if it is clear, but if it isn't then I do stop, and it happens to take me longer to make a decision as to when I am good to go than most other people.

    If I didn't live in freedumb land, I wouldn't drive, but driving is the only reliable option here.

  • I live in freedumb land so cars are the only reliable option. I'd love to use public transit, but doing so would require me to at least drive to a park and ride, and the bus system where I live is unreliable. I'd love to immigrate to a country that isn't car brained, but I don't have the resources.

  • I am car C. I don't care if car D is pissed at me, because I have autism and driving is overwhelming for me. I'm being extra cautious because it takes me longer to process sensory input because I can't filter out the irrelevant things. Plus, I always make sure to check the crosswalks. I as a pedestrian have come very close to being hit while crossing multiple times and it seems most other drivers don't give a shit about pedestrians at all.

  • Damn I had no idea even people as experienced as you were having a tough time. I'm a new grad and I spent two years searching for an internship and found nothing. I got two interviews at one company but they chose someone else. I'm making projects (currently teaching myself spring boot rn) and I've had a professional look over my resume and still nothing. Shit sucks right now :(

  • You're thinking of gen alpha not gen z. I have plenty of physical photos of me as a kid in the 00s where I have red eyes. Besides that I don't know anyone my age who says skibidi rizz ohio unless they are mocking gen alpha.

  • Yeah, I tried reporting blatantly transphobic and homophobic subs and got the same response as OP, which was really upsetting since not only were they pushing hateful rhetoric but they were also organizing harassment of individuals, some of which were minors.

    I was more than happy to leave reddit when I discovered lemmy.

  • The article says they are making a plug-in.

    Instead of a standalone product, JetBrains is pushing Aqua's functionality into the Test Automation plugin. This plugin is available for JetBrains' more established IDEs, such as IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm, and WebStorm.

  • I have over 2,000 hours in terraria and way more in minecraft. Really anything with good building or creative features is going to hook me for quite a while.

  • I worked as a cashier for about two years, so I do have some social skills, but too much noise and activity tires me out quickly. I chose online college partly because I can do it in an environment that's comfortable to me since I can't do that with work, it helps me get somewhat of a break. I have a friend I made at work who's also autistic and doing an online CS degree. I find them easy to talk to and they are more outgoing than me, and they have helped me figure out how to better socialize. I have been experiencing autistic burnout the past few months though, so lately I have been regressing on some things. I don't know if I'm going to make it, but atm I feel like I will eventually.

  • I like online learning because I'm autistic and in person learning makes me uncomfortable. I can tolerate it but it gets really tiring eventually. I'm currently a senior and am almost done with my computer science bachelor's which I've done entirely online.

    Online discussions suck, but so do in person discussions. Talking to neurotypicals is stressful just anticipating having to do it and trying to pretend to be "normal" really wipes me out.

    I agree that some majors and classes are way better in person and I get that some people need to go in person to motivate themselves, but also going in person ends up being worse for some other people. I don't think people should be forced to learn online, but I think the option should be there if it is reasonable to do that class online.
