| Hi I'm new to the forums and as my first post I thought I would inquire this. I have, for a long time, suffered from a sort of schism of my mind. I often attempt to apply logic anywhere I can in life and I am fascinated by the way that everything has "mechanics" and an "inner working... |

| The beast treatment for higher-functioning autism probably isn't medicine or odd therapy treatments; it would probably be therapeutic exercises or education to improve the mental deficits. For example, having people watch live-action videos on youtube of social interaction, or realistic TV shows and... |

| Have you ever been in love? Are you in love right now? What did it feel like to you, how did you know it was love? Just interested really. I am aware I have some emotional difficulties, social ones certainly, but I don't think this negates the possibility of love, just maybe threatens the possibili... |

| I agree with the above - I'm not a big fan of South Park anymore because it's too crude and nihilistic, but it's a show that tries to make fun of everyone equally. Plus learning to 'laugh at yourself' a little every now and then rather than being uptight is healthy. I don't like the word "trigg... |

| My memory seems to worsen every day. It's so bad at the moment that I honestly believe I have an undiagnosed learning disability. I managed to forget a four digit figure almost immediately earlier. It really is a concern of mine. My whole world seems to be a complete haze and I cannot stand it! The... |

| No it's an objective fact. You get to choose to murder someone or not, but you don't get to "decide" whether murder harms people or is beneficial - it's decided by natural law. And as I mentioned the "HS" example was just an analogy; dropping out of HS itself isn't automatically... |

| My reasons for dropping out of education are my own but without knowing anything about my reasons, or the reasons of anyone else who has dropped out of education, you're prepared to make a blanket statement that that choice is inferior to someone else's choices? That isn't a fact it's a subjective ... |

| Everyone is equal but some are more equal than others I chose to drop out of education. I was just using that as an analogy, some people might drop out because they're pursuing a higher purpose such as some actors and entrepreneurs. I was simply talking about the principle of being intentionally la... |

| Show some statistics or historical facts, instead of just parroting an internet meme. Plus I'm not sure what your idea is; but the idea that crimes like rape or murder could ever be eliminated entirely is myopic, since they've always existed in human societies. So what's your actionable plan from pr... |

| Meeting people of your interests isn't the same as "finding love". And it'll depend on what your interests are; is it something online like video gaming, or is it something you just like to talk about (there are message boards for everything), or something location-specific (e.x. if your i... |

| Avoiding overthinking it so much, and making sure you're genuinely attracted to her, rather than just wanting "any girl" because you feel lonesome is a good idea. |

| It is empowerment to act like a whore or like the "worst"—as you call it—frat-boy stereotype if that's what you want and others want to prevent you from doing it. "Empowering" someone to be a sad loser with no social redeeming value or relevance? Sure. By that logic, then since ... |
