Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is less than 5% of his income, so good job paying less than half of what everyone else does.

@RickiTarr especially since this isn't a yearly thing for him. On years in which he is not forced to sell stocks, he can take minimal salary and pay for his lifestyle using nothing but loans, which only lowers his tax burden.

Just saw an interesting post by someone missing the simplicity of their childhood. I know that most people wear rose coloured glasses when they’re feeling nostalgic, but I wonder how many autistic people read such posts & think, “No way!”?

I had lots of fun & interesting times during my childhood & adolescence, but there was also so much complexity, confusion & distress. Learning to mask made it easier. I could at least pretend to understand what was going on & therefore attract less negative attention.

my childhood was a mixture of me excelling at reading and writing while always getting in trouble for talking the same prolific way I wrote and read. Very confusing!

How much alone time vs socializing do you need?

For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!

unabogie,
@unabogie@urbanists.social avatar

@RickiTarr it honestly depends on the people. Some people are energizing, and some people are draining. I'm autistic, (only diagnosed in my 50s) with solid masking skills, and a lot of that depends on my ability to drop the autistic masking when I'm with people. If I feel safe enough to be myself, it can be nice to hang out. Like Joe said above, it takes time to prep and time to recover. Three times a week would definitely be too much.

Previously in therapy I had mentioned believing I’m autistic and she was kind of like, “ehh I don’t know about that”. But today I brought up that I thought I may have been put on a weird no sugar diet as a child because they knew about my ADHD and without skipping a beat she says, “Oh yeah. Totally. That makes absolute sense. I agree”. So I’ll take that as an informal diagnosis lol

@danirabbit there is a known overlap between autism and trans identity. I saw an interesting video about it today.

Sure, this is clever. But you know what's even more clever? Eliminating polling places entirely and switching to 100% vote-by-mail like in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Vermont, and Hawaii.

(With some in-person polling places as needed for accessibilty reasons)

@RickiTarr I was in a band with a guy like that back in the 90s. He lied about everything, big or small. I see now that he's one of those right wing professional liars who posts videos about CIA conspiracies and such. I do wonder if he's aware of his problem.

    Most of this poll erosion of Biden has little to do with the propaganda coming from Fox News and everything to do with the constant drumbeat of negativity coming from the left. It’s the revenge of Bernie Sanders at the worst possible time. Wake up folks. Trump is an existential threat.

    unabogie,
    @unabogie@urbanists.social avatar

    @shoq and it's self-boosting. If all you see are people too intimidated to voice support for Biden over Trump, we'll see a repeat of 2015 where people assumed the Left would come around and they just didn't. We need to be vocal about supporting Biden to save democracy.

    Thankfully, most Dems are capable of grasping that an incumbent who advanced major pieces of his party’s agenda through a 50-50 Senate is gonna be the nominee and all this blather is a potentially damaging distraction from the task of beating the unhinged autocrat they’re running against. #Election2024
