  • I checked it out on Wikipedia, and it looks like a cool renaissance-type of dance. Awesome!

    I had a similar experience with salsa. I had to get comfortable touching strangers and navigating that level of physical intimacy without it meaning relationship intimacy. It was a bit confusing at first, so I copied the people around me and probably asked some odd questions here and there when it came to that. “So it’s okay if we touch them there? If anyone feels uncomfortable with being touched there, please let me know. I will not be offended at all.” 🤦 Oopsies!

    I know what you mean about getting dizzy. All those spins add up while you have to stay balanced, mentally prepare the next move, and be cognizant of your partner’s body all at the same time. It’s a lot to manage in real time. I’ve never heard about the ear trick, but that’s a good one. When dancing with strangers, I often look around the room or down. That means I look at their shirt sometimes, then realized it looks like I might be looking at their breast, so I’ve been working on cutting that out. I’ve learned a trick where I can disconnect my eyes if I count the beat and pay attention to my body. I am going to try the ear trick tho.

    Congrats on finding an enjoyable social hobby you enjoy! And I’m happy that it seems like the group you found in accepting and welcoming.










  • Historically, autism has been associated with an inability to empathize. However, recent observations have found that autistic people can empathize with each other, while neurotypical people have trouble empathizing with autistic people. This resulted in the formation of the so-called double-empathy problem that posits that autistic people can empathize with autistic people and NTs can empathize with NTs. In the meme, Lisa is pedantically arguing that the double empathy problem is not a problem, but a theory.

    Problem

    A question to be considered, solved, or answered. “math problems.”

    A situation, matter, or person that is hard to deal with or understand. “was having problems breathing; considered the main problem to be his boss.”

    A personal matter that causes one difficulty or needs to be dealt with. “felt her tyrannical boss had deep-seated problems.”

    Lisa argues that a theory that explains that there is a divide in empathizing between neurotype is not a problem because it helps us understand the phenomenon. Ultimately, this can help us further research to understand social matters better and make accommodations to function better together. It’s kind of akin to calling our acceptance of wave-particle duality a problem. It’s not a problem. It’s the understanding and acceptance of what we observe. The problem (if any) would be the consequences of wave-particle duality, but acknowledging it as reality is not a problem.





  • That shit is so scary. Those people were ready to exterminate others out of pure hate and brain washing. It made me think about how the more extreme MAGA people today refer to liberals/Democrats. It’s like they’re heading down the same path. It’s insane that that many people can fall into that type of mentality with the freedom of information we have today. They’ve been trained to only believe a certain narrative, but instinctively disbelieve and see as enemy anything that goes against it. Freedom of thought is not an option for them. Crazy af.



  • REAL CAR ACCIDENTS!! 🚘💥🚙

    Often times, games underplay the medical and psychological impacts of traumatic events, so we unconsciously think that we would generally be fine if we were to experience a car accident.

    Trigger warning of car accidents and general PTSD

    If you get in a car accident, you end up in the ICU and can’t get out of bed for weeks at the least. Once you get out, you have to complete physical therapy over months to get a portion of your mobility back. Once you are out of the hospital and no longer have the 24-hr support of sympathetic medical staff…

    PTSD and grief! The person develops PTSD and has relevant triggers that uncontrollably illicit sympathetic nervous system activation (fight-or-flight). At first, it’s only car stuff. A car back fires? Person zones out their environment, time slows down, and only nearby cars that are brightly glowing amd have the video quality sharpness set to max. Literally everything else is blurred and muffled out. The activation lasts for a while. When the person comes back, they’re embarrassed. Slowly, they start cutting away people from their life as more stimuli begins to trigger the person and can’t function in social settings without self-medicating. Eventually, they develop a drug problem just to make it through the day, while experiencing insomnia every night. But wait, there’s more! There was a close friend with them in the car that died in the accident, so whenever they are reminded of said person, they fall into crying spell and can’t function for a while as they wrestle with the guilt of feeling responsible for the loss. The insomnia and overwhelming loneliness ensures that they wake up with only half their health everyday.

    While morbid af, I think it would help advocate for victims of trauma and loss. Also, it might encourage to people think before they behave in ways that are too risky when driving.






  • This sounds like a bs answer someone comes up with during a live debate. It’s a bunch of random meaningless pseudo-factors. Earth’s hotspots? A likely source of nitrogen and water of the correct isotopes?? wtf are you talking about?? lmaooo 🤣🤣

    So yeah, the reason Jupiter is the largest of the planets within 100 AU of Sol is likely due to the asteroid belt’s Eunomia family, Ganymede being larger than Mercury, and the bow shock of the magnetosphere interacting with the Solar Wind which is beyond anything else seen in the Solar System.
