@CrunchyMommaC @CuriousBunnie12 First looks also can dramatically decrease stress levels though. It takes some of the “performing intimate moments for everyone we’ve ever met” out of it.
And also timelines can be WAY easier when you do the “cheat” 🤷🏻♀️
@SceneByAshlix@JoePostingg Requisitioned is absolutely the correct word and while not super common for most people, most people also don’t requisition things often.
@Michellek4040@emilykmay But we see each other more than we would if we were friends. Doesn’t stop my sister from telling me to fire her as my therapist so she can be friends with her though!
@Michellek4040@emilykmay I met my therapist at my nail salon. We hit it off and she offered to refer me to someone. She ended up being a good match for me. We’ve discussed that we both knew that day that we’d either be therapist-client or best friends. We’re both kind of sad sometimes which way we went!
@SkinnySC@_Zeets This fundamentally misunderstands how generative AI works. It’s not a useful tool. ChatGPT doesn’t know anything. It’s not just that the kids aren’t learning. They are trusting the output of gen AI. You can’t ask AI a question and get a real answer.
@mamashchamuda I once convinced myself out of agnosticism and into belief with the lack of afterlife discussions. I figure if someone were making stuff up they’d include that pretty fundamental answer
@ArtAutonomy And just to answer the inevitable question: if you are an ally to queer people, anti racist, and feminist, you cannot vote for the current Republican Party. It is incompatible.
@ArtAutonomy I’m perfectly happy to have friends with different opinions. I’m unwilling to socialize with people who don’t are hateful. Transphobia, racism, sexism, homophobia, and all other bigotries aren’t “different opinions.” They are hateful values and I don’t associate with them.
@crulge I want to clarify. When I say we need better language, I mean to replace phrases like “low support needs.” I think all autistic people should remain on the autism spectrum.
@crulge I put support needs in quotes because it’s a phrase that is distinctly imperfect and encourages the idea that “high functioning” people don’t need support when in fact we often just learned to cope (and therefore have bonus trauma etc).
