Disclaimer: I’m a straight cis man, but I have/have had quite a few lesbian friends over time who have explained this joke to me. Take my explanation with the appropriate grain of salt

“the dating pool is tiny to nonexistant” is a common complaint I’ve heard from lesbians I know, probably related to the fact that I’ve mostly lived in rural areas. Given the low availability of partners, its more common to jump into relationships quickly and really commit to them. I’ve also heard a lot of “I really want somebody to live with me so I don’t just choke on something and die”. Probably less common nowadays, but I’m from a generation when it was harder to be gay publicly --> harder for lesbians to find roommates. Living with other women often meant being stigmatized by straight women that don’t understand lesbians are people and not just sex crazed harlots, and honestly that but worse because of a higher threat of violence with straight men. I’ve heard that moving in with a romantic partner as a lesbian is a move that lets you have a roommate with less objectification related to your gender/orientation. Again, idk how much of that is true today, but that is my understanding of the origins of the joke

You ever start replying to disagree with a comment and then realize the things you’ve normalized in your romantic past are a bit fucked up? That’s where I’m at right now

I’ve had sex plenty of times I didn’t really want to in the past. It goes like

She’s horny and wants to fuck. I am not

If I say no it’s a self esteem meltdown

If I say yes it’s a bit of a workout that ends in cuddling, which I always want

It’s just always felt better for my life to be an on demand dick machine than somebody who can say no

I cast non-magic missile!

I used to live in an unfinished basement in Pennsylvania that had a lot of these little guys. They used to hang out on the stairs on the ceilings and in my nightmares. Never saw any other kind of bug in that house though

I’m both the shorts guy and the music guy, though I do enjoy screamo. Country is my “I can’t listen to this dogshit” genre

Idk. Based on the number of fight scenes in that series that start with glistening men ripping off their clothes before fighting, I’d argue that kiryu at least has a kink for public indecency

I get it though. Like, I’m into dark chocolate myself, but beyond about 85% dark it gets to be a bit much for me. I’ve absolutely pretended to enjoy 99% before as to avoid embarrassing myself in front of friends who were kinda snobs about it though

I also can’t believe a band whose name is a euphemism for semen would use such weird album art. Smhing my head

You can actually save up to 13 frames if you take the warcrime L early, but getting through the Hague takes 5 different pixel/frame perfect inputs so most runners avoid that strategy

I hope you find what you’re looking for bud.

The closest I’ve ever found to anything like that is just… hanging out in queer spaces. Online or in person. My experience is that they tend to be welcoming, and accepting of our difficulties and more willing to help explain things that don’t make sense. I think there’s also a reasonable amount of overlap between how to cope with being queer in generally bigoted areas and how to cope with being neurodivergent but surrounded by NT people who display varying levels of acceptance.

I bring that up because like… a lot of what I used to think was difficulty understanding myself was mostly caused by internalized ideas that I was lazy or useless or w/e other nonsense I’ve been called by people with no understanding of or sympathy for situations I find abnormally difficult. I assumed the way I am was wrong and i couldnt understand why i was more comfortable being wrong. Material in queer spaces isn’t coded exactly for the negative ideas that are usually associated with ASD people, but the self affirmation messages are there

Your post looks like a reasonably good joke about acronyms with multiple meanings, but just in case you actually don’t know, PDA is short for “public display of affection” in this context

Sqrt(-gay) = Queer i for the math guy

I’ve really enjoyed how much ATS incentivizes that optimization, given that years spent on a settlement count toward the blightstorm cycle. It’s really satisfying to figure out how to max rep as quickly as possible, especially with really hard modifiers like the “no orders” one

I got really caught up in the “make number bigger” cycle of lifting, and each 5lbs I added to any lift was a huge dopamine spike. Obviously you can’t keep increasing weight forever, but I found that the steady and easy dopamine hits from noob gains were enough to establish it as a habit in spite of my attention span

I do 5 on, 2 off for eye contact timing. It seems to work pretty well in terms of passing as nt and focusing on the task of timing it reduces the discomfort of eye contact in the first place for me

My closest friend is also autistic, but most of my friends are NT. Small talk is just the price of entry with a lot of people. Lemme give you an alternate definition of small talk: “Talk about safe bullshit unlikely to offend or start a fight until you know the other person well enough to expose your opinions and beliefs to possible criticism or rejection.” The substance of the conversation is meaningless. Smalltalk is about gaging a person’s body language and temper and reactions and all other manner of nonverbal signal. It’s a lot easier if you go in with the understanding that the actual words are meaningless and you barely have to pay attention to them

And now for the second time in my life, I’m tempted to learn a bit more about the old gods of text editing. Damn you! /s
