No wonder most of of what’s being released is utter garbage by people with no life experience and anything to say.

These are your coworkers’ best friends, who send you an email and then immediately run to your desk to tell you that they sent you an email. And if you’re busy, they stare at you until you turn to them and they get what they want, no matter what you were doing.

OK… I’ll be the one: It’s not 40K, but 30K, but I really enjoyed most of the Horus Heresy books I’ve read so far (just started 15 this week). There are really good ones and some that are quite mediocre, but each has been interesting and they show the conflict from different sides and factions, too.

I’m the same. I really don’t need all that small talk, hell I’d even say I hate it. But this is not about me or the other customers, it’s about the employees, who need those jobs. So I take the plunge and only queue at cash registers with staff.

Even if they were more practical, which they simply aren’t due to their often terrible user interfaces, I would never dream of helping billion-dollar companies streamline away jobs. Solidarity, people!

This should be a matter of course in general interaction with one another, as long as one is not physically impaired. Just as one does not stop in the middle of the aisle in the supermarket or block it with a shopping cart. People are becoming increasingly inconsiderate.

First of all, there are good reasons to trust trained professionals and a diagnosis over anybody else.

On topic: I’m diagnosed with ADHD and have not much issues with eye contact. It’s usually a conscious behavior for me.* I do a bit of eye contact and look away again, mostly with people I just got to know or when talking to people without an interesting topic. I do this delicate, but very conscious ‘yes-I-make-eye-contact-bot-not-too-much-so-you-see-I’m-interested-but-not-a-creep’ thing.

On the other hand I stare into people’s eyes when in a discussion I’m interested in and/or they have something interesting to say.

*I will be checked for ASD later this year.

Going to the movies has become unbearable. Even if Hollywood didn’t produce nothing but mindless trash and the whole evening didn’t cost an arm and a leg, there’s always at least one group of assholes in the theater who don’t know that you’re supposed to keep your mouth shut at the movies. I used to go regularly and often, but now I only go on rare occasions.

Way too many adds everywhere and mostly horribly bad and uninteresting movies coming out. It’s not that hard to grasp, why people don’t care anymore.

Hier ebenfalls. Hab dieses Jahr meine Diagnose bekommen, mit 41. Vieles ergibt nun mehr Sinn. Seit ich Medis nehme, hat sich mein Leben deutlich verbessert. Ich wünschte nur, dass ich die Diagnose 30 Jahre früher bekommen hätte. Anfang nächstes Jahr wird noch spannend, wenn sich herausstellt, ob meine Vermutung richtig ist, dass ich auch Autist bin.

Ich wünsche dir jedenfalls alles Gute und hervorragende Fortschritte mit den Medis!

I’ll post my comment from the other post, that has been deleted, if that’s ok:

A few months ago, I started giving a couple of ravens some of my dog’s dry food when we go for walks. Since then, the same pair has been following us along a certain route, landing at the side of the path and waiting for me to throw them some food. They often fly very close to my head from behind when I haven’t noticed them, just so there are no misunderstandings. They have now figured out where we live and sometimes follow us to our front door. I always greet them with the same tone of voice, hoping that they will eventually greet me back.

To be fair, those things ruin it for everyone.

DoW is what got me to 40k in the first place! After all these years I’m still not interested in playing the TT. I just read the books and play the video games. But I imagine painting the minis would be therapeutic.

That’s why I won’t start painting 40K minis, even if I’d love to. I wouldn’t even want to play. Besides, I wouldn’t have anyone to play with, anyway.

Neutron stars have a diameter of approximately 20 km. Still tiny in cosmic terms.

“The planet orbits a star that’s completely bizarre — the mass of the Sun, but the size of a city” I’m no expert, but wouldn’t that be a Neutron Star?

Hättest du tatsächlich reflektiert, hätte sich die Frage überhaupt nicht erst gestellt. Oder hast du wirklich nachgedacht und bist wirklich zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass das irgendwie das selbe ist?

Das Eine richtet sich gegen Menschen. Das Andere gegen Menschenhass. Hast du sonst noch Fragen zu grundlegenden Themen des Zusammenlebens? Junge, Junge…

Verkauf halt keine Produkte von Nazi-Sympathisanten, du Arschloch. Wir sind ja wirklich weit gekommen, wenn wir uns nicht mal darauf einigen können…
