  • I would argue your filter is a huge part of your personality. Many people have harmful impulses, internalized bigotry and think mean thoughts sometimes. Becoming a better person is not about cleansing your thoughts of the impure, it’s much more about keeping your bad impulses in check. Sharing things you would like to keep for yourself, watching a movie with your partner you couldn’t care less about, being kind to someone who makes you feel intense jealousy, these kinds of things. I don’t think it’s fair to say that losing your filter because of a stroke “reveals who you really are”.

    I know Fetterman had terrible views before the stroke already. It’s more so that I think it’s scary how you can have a stroke and suddenly become so much worse to the people around you because you lose control over yourself.







  • So there’s this girl I meet every now and then at parties of our one common friend and she hit on me on like 5 different occasions, up to the point of literally trying to kiss me. And it’s not like I’m not interested in her, but because we only meet at parties where there’s really loud music, my autism renders me basically non-functional in these environments. I already don’t know how to act in this situation, but add loud background noise to the equation and I get overwhelmed and escape.

    Well now I’m contemplating texting her so we can maybe meet somewhere where there isn’t loud noises blaring the entire time, but for some reason my incredible insecurity when it comes to anything romantic is still telling me she’s probably not actually interested in me and there’s no point in trying. It’s absurd. A girl can literally try to shove her tongue in my mouth and a part of me will still think “she probably didn’t mean it”.
