Only if they tell this to their auditor tbh

How the fuck was Uber supposed to help traffic? That’s the most American take on solving traffic issues I’ve read in a while.

Ah, the Asperger’s Zone

Needs some garlic butter on the bread ffs

Sunwise, as it was based on the movement of the sun during day (in the Northern hemisphere). As watch faces were modelled after sundials, sunwise and clockwise describe the same direction.

Turnwise is a word invented by Pratchett for a book, but it’s clearly based on sunwise. He also used widdershins in his book, which is indeed the unmodified antonym to sunwise.

That’s a possibility. The guy acted grossly negligent and thus the accident insurance can reduce the coverage and in some cases even deny it completely.

Me: I want to play games until I get fat

Konami: yo, there you go

Me: damn, that was a bad idea, I need to go work out in a gym

Konami: I’m way ahead of you

I was talking about the traditional way of eating it and that’s with cow milk. I specified it precisely because I’m making a contrasting recommendation later on.

Is that even a thing, being allergic to a color?

The inside counts! That salmon is so superficial, it’s making me sick smh

Not sure what toasted means exactly in this context, but I guess traditionally we have non-toasted Muesli.

But nowadays we have many variations, some that would probably be more to your tasting (with corn flakes and crisp clusters) and some (even) less so.

Another “no idea about the situation im CA” comment, but I think this is pretty the same everywhere (in Western countries).

• If you don’t think it will help you to know for sure and you don’t need others to adopt to your needs and you don’t need therapy or even medication, there’s no need to go for a diagnosis.
• If you’re diagnosed, that’s between you and your psychologist/psychiatrist (and maybe your primary care taker and, if you need them to pay for it or further therapy, maybe your health insurance).
• If you decide to go back to school one day, a diagnosis could help a lot with adopting it to your needs. Well, the same should be true about your employment but that doesn’t always work out and as you say it could also have negative effects. Not sure if CA has employer protections for cases where disclosing such a diagnosis would lead to negative outcomes.

Personally I suspected I have some ASD symptoms but that I actually have ADHD. But now it’s clear I have no ADHD and I will learn later today whether I get clinically diagnosed with ASD. By now it’s clear I have some symptoms very strongly, some rather mildly and some probably not at all. Knowing this has already helped me deal with myself better (e.g. less fighting against my nature where I now know they’re lost battles anyway) so the formal diagnosis matters less at this point. But it would enable me to get more insurance-paid therapy to start into this “new life” and I could make some demands at work of I feel them necessary (currently that only includes keeping a fixed/own desk when we soon switch to shared desks, but that might change the more I learn about my needs).

In your situation, particularly if you’re hesitant about seeing a professional about this, I’d read some books on the matter. I think there are three important categories and I recommend reading at least one of each: 1) scientifically(-inclined) ones that explain the “theory” (like those by Atwood), 2) first-hand experiences (auto-biographies and such) and 3) guidebooks (how to deal with it as an adult or as an employee or such).

Edit: Oh, I forgot one benefit of being formally diagnosed. Or maybe they’re two. Autism fairly frequently comes together with other psychological syndromes/whatnot, and a psychologist should be able to identify them which might further help you. Autism also fairly frequently is the cause for other psychological illness and a formal Autism diagnosis might speed up your access to help (and medication), e.g. when you suffer from depression.

Edit: oops, it’s ASD in English, fixed

Coming from the Land of Muesli, it’s really quite simple and it’s really the same way we eat any cereal over here:

• put Muesli in a small bowl
• add fresh (ideally cold) cow milk
• eat it all with a spoon (quickly, before it loses most texture and becomes a soggy pulp / porridge-like)

If you like it a bit sweeter, mix a fruit yoghurt into it. Personally, I add the yoghurt after the Muesli and stir/mix it a bit before adding the milk.

Of course you can also add fresh sweet fruits (bananas, apples, strawberries, peaches, etc.) cut into slices/cubes.

If you prefer vegan milk alternatives, oat milk works great. Honestly, I think a good oat milk complements the Muesli (which usually contains oats) better than cow milk and I would suggest everyone try it.

You know that you don’t have to replace every single component in your PC every time you upgrade something, right?

And no, 500 GB (SSD) was the low end fairly recently. Heck, it’s still fair enough nowadays, I have a half-empty 1 TB drive and could easily bring that down to 350-400 GB.
