Programmers in particular seem averse to putting punctuation on the inside where it usually belongs. Some of us need to write technical documents where the punctuation is not clearly a metacharacter. I've intentionally stuck punctuation outside quotes for decades. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/logical_quotation Logical quotation is similar to but stricter than the common British style of quotation which is based on the sense of the punctuation in the context of the writing in which the quotation is being used (which permits limited insertions of additional punctuation, or alteration of original punctuation, in the quoted content, which logical quotation does not). Some sources (chiefly American) conflate the two terms and styles (e.g., Yagoda 2011). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_marks_in_English The purpose of language is to convey meaning. Logical quoting is more effective at doing so.

I'm wierder than most, so take this with the proverbial grain of salt. First, the fact you are reaching out, even like this, is a good start. Don't let the urge die if you can keep it up. As for next steps, find your people. Is there someone out there who you see 'speaking truth?' Do they have a community? Find it. (People on here can help to a certain extent if you are willing to share, which I know can be a bit scary online) What about your other interests? Do you game? There are communities for that. (Famously there are a lot of femboy gamer communities. They aren't going to hate you for being gender-non-conforming.) There are streamer/youtuber communities. (Check out Phedran, a cool gal with a chill comm. No hate for gender-non-conformers there.) Do you like a particular fandom? Same. Drum circles, writing/reading groups, secular action groups, (you like caring for people? Try volunteering. There's a 'Food Not Bombs' chapter in all the urban centers of Ohio. Even if you only go once a weekbecause of the long drive, you might find your people.) philosophy study groups (special mention: Quarantine Collective, very inclusive but not in a 'repeat the party slogans' way) and who knows what else. Do something you love and do it with people. Is there a local queer community where you are? (coffee shop, bar, whatever) Even if you aren't gay, you don't have to take on any particular identity to socialize. The community is usually very welcoming of those who aren't locked into the old fashioned gender norms, and at the least, aren't likely to hate you for that kind of BS reason. You have options. Keep the momentum going and grab one.

Yeah, my dating site knowledge is decades out of date! I wouldn't rule it out completely, but I'd ask around online or in person for current advice. I will say, though, that my sister helped me revise my profile after I set it up. And it helped a lot - as I said, I found my wife that way. Originally I just had a kind of generic head shot of myself. At my sister's suggestion, I added a few pictures of me being goofy, and changed my profile information. My wife still remembers the pictures - one of the added ones was of me trying to ride a kid's Big Wheel, and the other was of me wearing a cereal box on my head while I excitedly opened something. My wife tells me that they definitely helped me stand out - women get a huge amount of thirsty messages, and looking like a fun person instead of DudeBro3327 can make a big difference! It's fuzzy now, but I'm pretty sure that after that I started actually getting responses. I'm not saying that same process would work for you; but someone who knows you well and has some idea what women will respond positively to could probably help you out a lot.

There are still idiots going to the Catholic church and permit their kids around clergy. You can't fix these idiots. Best you can do is ensure that no pedos are around and if any are discovered, they are promptly fixed so they can't reoffend again. Vermin has to be rooted out.

Microplastics is our generation's lead paint, social media is just the shit on top of that

Bold to assume I would leave.

Looks good, I've added it to this post and the two pinned ones

I think it's reasonable to ask, but manage your expectations. I don't know if you have your own children, but they're a lifelong commitment. When they need you as a parent you have to be there. Your husband knows his son's needs and it sounds like he's doing a great job of helping him heal. Conversely, keeping the son away could lead to feelings of hopelessness...'if I can't rely on dad, I have nobody'. This may be the difference between a short term sharing of your husband's time (though not as short as you'd like) and an ongoing situation that creeps up when you'd hoped it was long since done. If that's too much for you, maybe you're not right together.

Of all the rotten luck... I had "person suggests not enough boy-rape is sexist" on my bingo card yesterday (right next to the "tankie spews some stupid bullshit" free space) but not today. At the time, I thought it was an unrealistic reach but thank you for broadening my horizons.

I’m just hoping it takes time. The website that shall not be named was small at the start. It was only after 15 years and corporate takeover that it turned to shit. I’m also scared to say anything, due to my experience with anti-speech policies of the website that shall not be named.

Have to disagree about the versatility of the 1/4 inch impacts. The electricians who wired my house used impacts to drill holes. You can get a 1/4 inch drill chuck adapter for an impact too. A drill is a must have, but impacts drive screws better, hands down and loosen stubborn or rusty bolts that are impossible for ratchet wrenches. Also, if you spring for a complete set, get the brush-less tools - they are awesome.

I will agree there. But the mining and manufacturing potential is rather insane. We could make money back rather quickly.

my dad had 2 really expensive big ones die, so we just moved back to the shitty 1080 one from like a decade ago

One way roads and split highways exist, but even on any typical divided road, you obviously can still drive the wrong way. Either way, you're conpletely missing the point. That phrase is used as a way of saying that if literally everyone else disagrees with you, then it's a lot more likely that you're the one who is wrong. In this case, autism really doesn't have an "opposite". neurodevelopment is incredibly complex, and while some aspect exist on a spectrum, others don't. (and the traits or development patterns that do exist on a spectrum in this case exist mostly between autistic and allistic traits, not between autism and some "opposite" pattern. And the other traits you mentioned exist on their own orthoganal axes.

Or worse, you risk being parentified. My ex was 7 years older then her brother, and to this day their only bad blood is that she had to take care of him while he got anything he wanted.
