It's actually really kinda troubling how well the Dragon analogy works as a stand-in for autism.

Sex for autistic folks isn't even about sex.
It's about Touching, intimacy, trust, sharing, and Enthusiasm.
Almost all our 'Fetishes' are just co-defied forms for accessing this kind of intimacy, as usually it's been twisted by trauma in our childhoods.

And that can lead to all sorts of Queerness, asexuality, grey-ace stuff, major hangups and shyness.

And it can make us feel like we're not really part of the Queer community because we're not gay Or Straight or really even Bi or Pan.

Our preference is usually just for someone who Gets it and doesn't need a Walkthru for how to have sex.

That feel when you've been queer your entire life but the kinda queer you are is just now getting official recognition.

Watching Phly question his sexuality in a serious way while streaming a War Thunder Game with one of his Bros was Priceless.

Like, he's the actual non-problematic snowflake we all need RN, because he can take the movie Fury and turn it into a Slapstick Comedy.

Under these circumstances, 'Man' and 'Woman' aren't even the bloody Point.

Why?

Because all our friends are hella Queer and apparently Everyone Has Room For Enbies.

So now the Pirate part and the Witch part are in conflict. Because they both like what the other's Got, but don't want it for themselves. So the whole thing just spins.

TFW you're torn between 'Optimized, high performance Gender' and 'Gender is a personal expression of self and it's Art and art can't be Optimized!"

You ever just trying to be nice to someone who's had a shitty time of it and all of a sudden you're like 'Shit, am I manipulating or abusing this person?' and get all paranoid?

Gender of the Day:

It's probably telling that if someone posts that they're Autistic, I feel way more comfortable about the gender stuff with them.

I think DID works on the same method of action as Otherkin stuff.
It's just that DID happens when you get more than one non-human soul by mistake and everyone has to share.

I've given up entirely on having a sexual preference I think.

Or like, I have an awful lot of them? It's way Way too complicated that way.

You can synthesize the ultimate Gelato from Sour Cream and Condensed milk.

$500 spent at Harbor Freight and a year of watching Car videos in your Youtube Time can make you a mechanic for 90% of the problems cars have.

There is no shame in buying a finished product to break down for components if it's faster/cheaper/better than buying a specialty part. Don't forget, older electronics have a Lot of components in there you can yank out wholesale.

There is no shame in re purposing technology. Off-road LED lightbars make excellent landscape lighting.

3D printing is Great but we've had Jbweld and Dremels for years. Don't let your lack of imagination stop you, there's plenty of ways to make a plastic repair part that doesn't require PLA. Literally thousands of polymerizing chemicals out there to fill every hole.

HDPE greenhouse plastic, available in the back of any Home Depot is a miracle material nobody thinks about. Especially if you're Homeless or otherwise trying to be a Human out in Nature, HDPE film is like a Magic barrier that lets light thru but blocks everything else.

Large panels of high strength and stiffness can be made with pink insulating foam sandwiched between pieces of Plywood or Masonite/MDF. Cheap panels can be made up with spray adhesive and thin plywood, structural panels can be made of marine grade plywood and flame-retardant foam.
The structural rigidity and acoustic properties of this composite material are astounding. I rode 30 miles on a vehicle framed with the stuff. (It rotted eventually, oops)

Parachute cord can be butt-welded to 50% of it's initial strength with a candle or small propane torch. This means rings and hoops of the material can be made easily, and knot ends finished smoothly.

DIY vape juice flavorings are the same stuff that goes into literally everything else. Soaps, drinks, scents, air fresheners, everything. I bought a flavor called Summer Clouds and it tastes like a glade plug-in. If you want that Very Specific fursona spray or soda combo, these are the way to go.

A couple pieces of basic paintball equipment and a trip to autozone for a pop-in valve stem and a tire inflation chuck will allow you to carbonate your own soda at home without any of that sodastream nonsense. Add in an old pressure cooker, and you can now carbonate Fruit, Jello, basically anything with Water in it.

Personality fusions according to SU are these magical enby affairs, but if you fuck them up in real life because everything's on fire and you're jamming spare parts together to make a functioning ego...
Well you get something more like a FMA chimera.

Gender of the day: Survivor

I feel intruded on when a video I'm watching even has a Clip from the Big Bang theory in it.

Elite Dangerous is the Honda Civic they keep coming up with performance parts for, but you can have a lotta fun with it as it is.

Star Citizen is a Supercar that breaks down every day, and cost a hundred thousand dollars.

@Stephen_Stone Woah, you're still alive? *High Five*
