What kind of nonprofit org, if you don't mind sharing?
(I just now posted a link to this thread in the "unscheduled chats" area of my Autistic Techies group.) |

I share your dislike of most major social media platforms, especially Facebook.
I still post on Twitter now and then, but, in my opinion, old-fashioned message boards like Wrong Planet are much better for the purpose of having actual meaningful discussion. |

Is there any chance of convincing your parents to pay for you to get whatever education you might need in order to take an active role in their oil company?
As a side benefit, there would be a bunch of people you get to meet with regularly outside of church. |

| specifically, how do you feel you didn't have a normal youth? To sum it up, I just didn't fit in socially, at all, with the vast majority of my peers. Throughout gradeschool and what is now called middle school, I was always the oddball who got picked on. Luckily I did manage to do well academicall... |

| I really hope you'll find some way to leave the toxic (and self-defeating) incel mentality behind. Ditto for your resentment over not having had a "normal youth." what do you mean by Ditto over not having had a normal youth? are you saying you feel you didn't grow up having a normal youth... |

Plus it's also a major distraction from more pressing issues. I suspect that the Pentagon's aim is simply to reduce whate... |

| I should point out I have female co-workers whom I am friends with (at least at work) but they are married so no risks. It's "no risks" if both you and they are 100% scrupulous about not committing adultery, which not everyone is, of course. But I'm not of the school of thought that says ... |

| It's my philosophy that single cis-men should be cautious about being "friends" with single cis-females. I've looked at from every angle and after some time it doesn't really benefit either party. Unless both parties find each other sexually repulsive. Why??? There can be lots of reasons,... |

| Are you in college at age 25? There is a huge difference between how a 19 year old college student views another 19 year old college student who is weird and how the same student views a weird college student who has aged out of the peer class. To a 19 year old, the 25 year old is from a complete o... |

| I'll try to respond to this. So by empathy I don't mean the ability to intellectually understand that another person has feelings and may be hurting inside or even the ability to act on that understanding by showing consideration or trying to be kind to that person. It's actually a couple of things... |

| The line between simping and friendship is very blurry. A friendship should be mutual. If it's just one person doing favors for the other, I guess that's what would be called "simping" these days? It's like a nice warm bath. It's lovely to go in, but you need to know when to get out befor... |
