I remember how frustrated my mother got when the school told her I needed to be in remedial reading. My parents were both teachers so she thought "I got this"

She told me to read a book and she'd ask me some questions about it. I couldn't answer a single one.

So she had me read the book out loud to her. I did. Still couldn't answer a single question. Blew her mind that I could read a book out loud and not even be paying attention to it. That's when they got me diagnosed with ADHD.

Every doctor I've been to since hasn't even needed me to tell them. They notice on their own.

I'm not arguing that Elon musk is anything but an absolute tool.

SS numbers have 999 million options. Are we already repeating them?

That kind of stuff annoys me because they don't recognize their behavior is entirely based on politics not health.

Like there are some religions that don't allow some medical treatment... I don't like that but I understand it. "I might die but if I do this treatment I might go to hell for all eternity... So I chose death"

This is different. This is "I believe the covid shot and/or vaccinations have negative health effects... So I chose death to avoid the risk... Of negative health effects"

You clearly aren't worried about the health concerns. You're just being an idiot.

I wouldn't call my self aromantic by definition. It.more just bitterness from my past. I would like to have a "soulmate" but the pain involved in finding one isn't worth it to me. So in practice I'm aromantic but there is a desire for companionship. Just not enough of a desire.

It's a spectrum. For example you're friends who wish they weren't asexual are valid and are asexual. I do not feel the same way.

I have the ability I don't have the desire. I actually have children. I've also had girlfriends suggest various things like maybe I have low testosterone. Never got checked for low t. It's not something I'm really interested in fixing. I'd compare it to wanting crack cocaine. You don't want it now, maybe there is a way to make you want it... Why tho? Seems like an extra complication to life. As for relationships: the ones I've had haven't been great. The ones my friends have don't seem all that great either.

I'm good. I've got my books and no desire for anything more . What is there to fix? Why should I fix it if I'm already fine? Why should I make myself want more than I already have if I'm already happy? You normal people don't seem all that happy with it, why would I want it? I'm good .

How much time do you spend trying to get sex or a relationship? How much time would you save if you... Didn't... And you didn't want it? Why would you want to want something so time consuming.

Edit: what i mean is from my view point people are basically asking "why don't you try to create this void in your soul then Spend your entire life working on filling it... Mostly unsuccessfully, and failed attempts will be very very painful, but one day you MIGHT fill the void and you'll be happy because that void is now filled!"

Why the fuck would I want that. It sounds awful. You guys go right ahead tho. I'm not judging. I'm just say "nah man I'm good"

There's a franchise here called Krispy Krunchy Chicken

Every time I see the sign I think of the one guy in the marketing team who was like "let's go ahead and spell chicken the normal way"

And the team was like "but it makes us different. See we are spelling them with a K. We cant stop that theme at Chicken "

And he responded "we really need to stop that theme at Chicken. Just trust me on this one "

That was alot of fancy words. I have no choice but to agree. I'm not entirely sure if you are on my side or not but I know argument will be pointless

 

I'm sure some political talk will be unavoidable but I'd like to keep this dry and to the point if we could.

 

My ex-wifes dog is dying. It's old. She emotionally can't handle the steps involved with that. She called me.

I grew up on a farm. I love animals but death was just part of life. I've had pets I loved get hit by cars, accidentally shot by hunters (on our land illegally), bitten by snakes... Plus there were lots of pets that stupid people dump in the country ("Fido will hunt rabbits or some nice farmer will take him" no he won't. Fido will slowly starve in the wild and get very mean/crazy, then get shot when he attacks me. Just have the dog put down, dumping the dog isn't better it just makes 10 year old me do what you couldn't).

Anyway my ex-wife calls me because she can't handle it and I can.

The problem is that I've slipped up a couple times and said "it" or "the dog" instead of "him" or "Toasty".

I understand that it is insensitive and hurtful, Ive absolutely been trying to avoid that since I first came over. However it's also insensitive and hurtful to call me bad for not getting emotionally attached to the dog at this point in its life. It's dying.

I'm taking care of it. I'm using all my farm skills and animal knowledge to be sure it's not dying from a disease, bacteria, or injury that I can fix or cure. I'm making food for it that is easier to eat so I can know for sure when the dog starts choosing not to eat vs having difficulty eating. When/if the time comes where the dog doesn't want to continue, I'll handle those steps and give it a burial.

If I was a monster I wouldn't help at all or just come over, shoot it, bag it, and trash it. I'm giving this animal every chance and looking for the moment when it gives up. I'm not cold. It's just a bad time to make friendship bracelets with the dog. It's a dying dog. I don't need to get more attached, I need to keep emotional distance to make good choices for the best interest of the animal.

That's exactly why I was called in the first place. That doesn't make me a monster.

Edit: before the "take it to the vet!" Comments. Our daughter is a vet. She said the same things I did. It's probably going to die. When it stops eating and gives up, put it down.

 

I don't want an AI girlfriend, I just want to think out loud to another person. It helps me think and solve problems on my own. I feel like AI should be perfect for that. However the couple I've seen advertised and tried out... Well they essentially are only programmed to be like:

"Let's change the subject. Maybe this picture will help" blured picture behind a $50 subscription pay wall

And I'm like "no... If I wanted to change the subject I wouldn't be talking about this subject. I'm not at all interested in $50 AI tits."

I have a very low bar of expectations. Even if the AI just responds "wow, that's crazy" to everything that would probably be fine for my needs. More would be better but I do not need lewd pictures and I'm not paying $50 a month lol.

 

I know the obvious of being polite and respectful. do I show up early like an airport? Do I just show the guard my ticket? Anything I should know or be aware of?
