Hmm, I'm a dyspraxic aspie, and I like football. Ok, not as kuch as I used to, but that's due to age and other interests. I'm still a massive Liverpool FC fan though, and I still occasionally play football video games, and wouldn't say no to a kick around, provided I don't have to do much running! :mrgreen:

That's good.

I used to like a kick around. I guess I wouldn't either. But it doesn't come up much unless it's a boiling hot day when exercising outside is a great idea.

I notice a lot of stigma around it from other aspies, people saying things like 'All NTs like is mindless stuff like reality TV, celebrities and sport'. Sport isn't mindless. The other two aren't always mindless either. I think some people are confusing aspie with geek.

And I'm saying that as someone who loves a lot of high culture stuff too although mostly from the arts side rather than STEM. So I can be a geek too.

But I do get it when some can't do the motor skills bit of a sport they have/had to do in PE, they're aspie so nobody's picking them on personality/nobody picked them at school based on personality etc.

And yeah, Celtic is basically my life haha. Coupled with art, books and poetry.

In this podcast I shouldn't be watching there's this vegan guy and he's scared of cutting the grass cos it smells and he reckons this is the smell of fear/grass blood... :lol: I tuned in for other sorts of laughs but this is really providing some :lol:

Billionaire oil tycoon J. Paul Getty installed a pay phone at his mansion for guests to use so that he would not be billed for their calls.

Drawing action scenes, fight scenes and superheroes: things which get me excited.

Drawing placid mundane non-eventful things: things which relax me to an extent and from which I learn to slowly and keenly observe soaking in and/or processing so much information that, that alone suffices for me.

I prefer the second these days.

In the U.S., you can run for president while in prison.

Scletrotic.

The story I could write about how I 'self-pressure' myself. The autobiography I could write about how I 'self-pressure' myself.

I mean not to exercise today.

I used to kind of like Celtic, in the days of Lambert, Burley, Larssen etc (one of my all time favourite matches is Liverpool vs Celtic UEFA Cup first leg 1997/98 season, which had one of the best goals I've ever seen, it was McManaman who scored it).

Yeah sport is not mindless, how can anyone call something that requires skill and talent to perform, mindless? Plus, it's entertaining, especially if you support a certain team or athlete and they win or do well! I think Reality TV is pretty mindless, but each to their own :lol:

I need to talk to Celtic fans so bad haha. I've moved from somewhere where it wasn't Scottish football at all back into an area I thought was mixed and isn't :? This guy gave me a right dirty look after he asked what team I support...

That's really good, I wish I'd got into Celtic that early. I didn't grow up in a mixed area so it was at secondary I jumped the dyke (before that all I was doing is watching Albertz, Ferguson etc play football, I was innocent to everything outside of the game itself, just liked winning).

At secondary, my friends kept making jokes about the Irish, I kept repeating them to my dad and my dad said 'you can't hate the Irish, our family is Irish, you need to stop mixing with those kids'. Just so happened it as a convenient time to glory hunt as well... Larsson, Lambert, Sutton type era. I kept in the same friendship group though, nobody else would talk football.

I've been faithful since though, including through Mowbray so I'm not a glory hunting adult.

I agree in a way about reality tv but it's a good starting point sometimes for cultural knowledge, then you have to go to the academic sources etc to find out the real stuff. If not for reality TV, I wouldn't know the Quiverful movement exists for eg and that's a fascinating, quite disturbing, cultural movement in America.

And living history programmes really are learning (as far as TV goes). Things like 'back in time for...'

Not stuff like big brother though. That was an interesting psychological concept (what if you lock people in a house and don't let them out? how will they get on?) but from series four, they filled it with sex craving extroverts of a certain (18-30) age. Incredibly predictable and immature.

I've always what are the motivating factor(s) that would drive someone male or female to go from something like this--Image

To this--Image

female variants from--Image

to this--Image

Before I receive flak for making this notion let me state clearly, I have no grievances nor biases towards people whom choose to put themselves through intensive physical training. I'm simply wonder if there are psychological variables that might push people to mutate into a n extreme physical manner. I'll be honest I may not due intensive workout but, I get in enough exercise to keep me healthy overall.. I suppose, I wondered if such choices are somehow driven either by carrying out such to be in better health, manage physical actions better, or merely for vanity reasons.

That's all I have to say..
