  • Hey! I really get it. I’m also autistic and have been through similar situations before. You’re not alone with this kind of situation. I don’t know if it helps you to hear this, but these kinds of experiences are something many of us go through (not your specific one of course, but eerily similar). I actually initially responded because I saw so much of myself in what you wrote.

    When I was going through similar periods, I kinda kept insulting myself in my head for all the mistakes I’ve made, and I feel like I’m seeing something similar in your comments. I always felt like, if I could just get this one person to absolve me of everything, the spiral would stop and I’d feel good again. But this never worked. Even when I did get them to say what I thought I needed, I kept thinking about all the ways that things still could go wrong - was I being too annoying? Too intense? Did they just say what I wanted to get me off their back?

    That’s why I wrote my initial comment (not in this comment threat, the other one). Other people won’t be able to get you to stop this spiral, because you’re the one putting yourself through it. That sounds bad, but the great thing is: this also means you have the ability to put an end to it! It’s not easy, I know, but you’ll be able to do it, believe me. It might feel like everything is terrible and everyone thinks terrible things about you, but I can assure you that’s just something your head tells yourself.

    I don’t know if this is helpful to you, but if you’d like I can share a bit more about my experiences as well as some techniques that help me in DMs. Please just know: you’re not a bad person, other people don’t think terrible things about you, and this will pass. One day you’ll be able to look back at this and see the situation for what it is: a normal mistake, and a person that keeps beating themselves up over something that they really shouldn’t.

    All the best, and stay strong! You’ll get through this, as so many of us have done before, no matter how hopeless it might feel right now.









  • No, you’re approaching this the wrong way. You run towards it at full speed, then get a 45° angle and jump. While doing so, you grab their neck like a pole, and use the force to hoist yourself upon their back.

    You either already killed them with this move, or you’re now on their back and holding their throat. There’s nothing a giraffe can do to throw you down or attack you now. You can just choke, and choke, and keep choking it until it falls to its knees.










  • I have used two of these - one that’s 1080p which I’ve used for years, and one that’s 1440p that broke after a short time (but that was my fault).

    I don’t really use them as touch screens. I once tried with my then-work-Macbook, but it was mapped to the wrong screen, so I stopped. Since then I’ve been using it exclusively as a screen.

    The colors aren’t perfect, but otherwise it’s absolutely acceptable quality - not much worse than a 5-10 year old monitor IMO. I’m driving it through Micro USB & HDMI. Be aware that somehow every couple weeks I have to continuously unplug and replug the HDMI for the monitor to recognize the signal, don’t know why.

    This was probably not very helpful, sorry! If there are any specific tests you’d like me to do, I’ll gladly do them. I bought mine at a fair and have never found it online, so you won’t be able to buy it, but there’s probably much better ones available now.
