In 2021 my government sent out vouchers (that you could exchange for cash) to help with the energy pricing crisis after Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. I knew I'd be getting that letter and what would be in it. Then I got it and forgot to open it, to this day. 500€ down the drain. That's like 20 hours of work for me.

More specifically it's because Israel and its allies are running a successful global campaign of conflating opposition to its genocide with antisemitism, which, in turn, normalises antisemitism, which, obviously, harms Jewish people everywhere.
That sucks! Mine started hurting at 27 (this year). My knees started hurting it around 16. I dont think I should want to die due to this.
The premise of 'end times' of that question couldnt really have been that the rapture is imminent, seeing as 9% of atheists believe we're in the end times in your graph.
Klar einscheissung ist eher selten, aber dass man zwei unterhosen innerhalb einer woche anblutet kann schon passieren.
This misconception is why I and many others prefer the precise wording: gaining healthy(ish) years.
You don't die of 'old age'. You die of disease(s), which become more and more likely as you accrue damage throughout your life. You can't really extend the period someone stays alive with end stage dementia or cancer. If anything, you can only prevent, halt, or slow the development of the diseases. And that's what's meant by longevity/extending life.
Granted, you'll still accumulate non fatal issues. But I'd argue you can lead a meaningful life with knee pain and far sightedness.
I can't get over the fact that it's a word people use for farts, particularly when talking to children.
It's ok that microblogging isn't for you. It isn't for me either. Doesn't mean that it's not valid or even important that it exists for other people.
e.g. my country has a population of just like 8 million, and while it's neutral and has no military involvement in any war, is one of the world's biggest arms manufacturers and was the only European country that delivered arms to Russia throughout the Crimean crisis. Way up until 2021.
That is textbook genocide justification. Also not even true. At all. There's countries that have a higher population and fewer warmongering tendencies vs other countries.
Fwiw I have pretty severe ADHD and somewhat mild autism.
My best advice is that one doesn't need an explanation for emotions. Focus on needs. I second the 'is this good/bad/neutral' that someone suggested. I would like to add that I would focus on NEEDS rather than what the feeling is.
Examples:
'would you like to be alone right now? Do you want me here?'
'would you like to be held?'
Even simple ones like 'lights on or off?'
Maybe together you can learn what situations can be helped by what reaction/strategy. E.g. when I'm overwhelmed, I like it when the lights are off and my partner sorta lies on me like a weighted blanket.
With physical intimacy, she sounds a bit like me; it can be hard to know what you want. My strategy is to ask to try sth, then as it's happening, check in to see how it feels. I've told my partner to do it like this.
Example:
'would you like to try holdingy hand?'
If it's a yes, do it, then after a few seconds:
'is this ok? Do you like it?'
If either of you don't want to or can't talk well in these situations, you can designate a non verbal signal, like asking and nodding, or guiding someone's hand, then looking at them, and they nod to signal consent.
Honestly, I act like this in intimacy with non autistic people too. It's good consent practice. At worst, they're like 'yes yes get on with it'.
Hope my ramblings help at all, lol. You sound like a sweet and attentive partner. All the best and feel free to ask further questions.

Not to mention the stigma, especially from unrelated doctors who see the med in your file.

A red button. Image says: 'Would you press the button?' [results of pressing the button:] there exists a pill that makes your disability a LOT less debilitating BUT it's near-impossible to get because the non-disabled enjoy taking the pill for fun and the government doesn't want them to.
I know, not all omnis. But this is based on personal experience.
I regret nothing. Say what you want.
Edit: I just saw the two typos. If you find them, you're welcome to keep them.

Does anyone else here like setting it to prime numbers? Even numbers are so boring. Also, prime numbers are prime in every number base, while the concept of even numbers doesn't translate.
