TV: We have one for streaming but I don't watch network TV, TV news, etc and haven't for many years. In my youth there were quite a few years where I didn't even own a TV and when I lived with roommates they didn't own a TV either. The stereo system was absolutely everything as well as books.

Dividing my life into two chapters? If I only could pick two categories, I would say Innocence and Post-innocence.

Have you ever seen a whale breach?

Two chapters? 1) All Things Hellish 2) Finding Myself

No.
What is the furthest east you traveled?
For me it was Illinois back in 2014.

My phone ringer is never on. I keep it on mute because I don't really go out anywhere, and I always have my laptop open for Facebook or messages. I also have a landline phone. I'm not sure why I even have a mobile? (Answer: Uber).

I don't watch television, so it wouldn't affect me at all. I went about fifteen years with no cable prior to internet streaming.

I prefer reading and listening to music.

I love reading and listening to music to and I always keep my ringer off to.

I love alternate history. I love wikipedia.

Do you like reading wikipedia? And what are your thoughts on alternate history?

I'm not cool with alternate history, therefore I keep old encyclopedias to preserve real history.

I'm also on the verge of saying goodbye to TV. Not meaning DVDs, I'll keep some TV shows and movies handy. In my case, I don't pay for TV, I have an antenna to catch local stations.

Would you have solar or wind power instead of electricity from the power company, if you could?

Yes I definitely would. Unfortunately for power generation, where I live it's overcast (which I like) far too many days for solar to be of any real benefit and not windy enough for wind generators. Neither produce any return on investment.

In my area Geothermal heating and cooling works well but is expensive (approximately $20,000+) to install. It uses the constant temp of the earth which about six feet down remains in the 50 degree Fahrenheit range even in subzero temps or on hot summer days.

I'm surprised that solar and wind are not more prevalent in sunny and windy locations.

Would you ever skydive?

I'm not afraid of skydiving but I wouldn't do it because it's not fair to the people I might leave behind.

Wow. That's exactly how I've always felt. I've taken that same line of thinking to extend to motorcycles. If I had no one else relying on me I would feel differently.

Have you ever been given a speeding ticket?

Yes, I'm a speed demon driver. Or, I was. Or, I will be again soon. :wink:

I'm a very good and safe driver but I tend to run a little fast when the conditions are safe. I don't tailgate or speed in traffic though. Now I'm ashamed because I know you have a perfect driving record.

I've never had an accident except once when I was a new driver at age 18.

No ticket. I was always a good driver. But now I don’t drive so a ticket is impossible.




Which is worse, honest but very offensive, or deceptive but very polite?

I might as well answer my own question [about what the volume is set at on my laptop]:
I only ever use headphones, and the volume is always set at either 6 or 7 [out of 100].

What's your favourite and least favourite movies?

Even though I don't like TVs everywhere and don't own one, I still see movies every once in a while.

Recently, I like Avatar (blue people).

I don't like Saw.

Do you think breastfeeding in public is weird or ok?

Personally, I think it's ok.

It's 100% OK, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

I am diagnosed with Autism. They don't give levels any more but I was told I wasn't "Aspergers" or "High Functioning", but rather I was equal to Level 2 Moderate Autism. I require "Substantial support" in both categories of social interaction and repetitive behaviour. I do not have an intellectual impairment.

Comorbid: MDD, GAD with Agoraphobia, Complex PTSD, Selective Mutism. I also had a stroke, so there's some behaviour attributed to my stroke damage.

I have synaesthesia as well.

My IQ on an online Weschler test was quite high, but my AQ score was 49/50 and this is my spider web test:

I'm a pretty complex person in terms of diagnosis.

I got the same exact score for both of those.
