The wavelength of Magenta doesn't actually exist. It's our red and blue photoreceptors activating without the green ones. It blows my mind how many non-existent colors mantis shrimp can see.

It isn't shown explicitly, but notice in the last panel with the box, the box is much wider and much shorter. It was rotated 90°.

Or you got the ADHD & Autism combo. Routines are more of a suggestion, but you don't have the motivation to keep them. Like, yeah, I should put away my clothes, but that seems like extra work. I'll just leave them in the pile. (There are multiple piles)

It's probably more cost effective to run Azure Services on Linux machines than Windows machines.

I was wondering how Signal handles this. Thanks for the info.

I shifted my phone to the side and saw this exact foot placement. Yes.

Don't know if it's an ASD thing, though... I do have more uncommon posturing than most people. Need a bigger sample size and a control group.

Friend got locked out of Instagram account because yahoo deactivated their email. Instagram flagged the email as inactive. After my friend forgot their password, Instagram wouldn't send pw reset emails even after reactivating the account. They also has no direct customer support whatsoever, so that account was lost.

Having both, idk, it's like I have to expect chaos to be okay with it. Like, I take my ADHD spouse on a date and I expect they'll want to spontaneously go places, and I'll be okay with that. If I'm driving home on a routine grocery run and they suddenly call and want takeout... I have to calm myself.

Canned psychologist answer to any absolute statement about ADHD or ASD: "it depends" and "sometimes but not always".

To add on to this, in front of other people, I play with my finger ring that has moving parts. It's a lot more descreet than playing with other objects.
