Meanwhile I'm too autistic to tell when they AREN'T happening, and just keep talking until somebody respectfully tells me to shut up an take my turn.

When I was little, I had times where I just straight up slept at the dinner table because I refused to eat. My parents learned quickly that if they didn't want me to starve to death, they were gonna need to make foods I actually liked.
Once they'd been doing that for a while, I got a lot more open to trying new foods, even ones I didn't like before, because now everyone else was eating and enjoying food I didn't have and I wanted to be a part of that. Didn't make me automatically like everything, but it did open me up to a lot of healthier options.
I sort by active because the slower flow of content helps me avoid a social media addiction. I just check the few posts that hit the top of my feed every day, then exit Lemmy for the day.
I hate the whole "its" being converted to "it's" no matter what thing, but what I hate more is when I teach the keyboard a word, and it STILL won't let me use it. Taught my keyboard "that'd" and it would autocorrect it to "that's" every time. And unlike other words, if I went back and manually corrected it back, it wouldn't leave it, it'd force it back to "that's" again and refuse to let me change it. Come to think of it, it did that with "it'd" to "it's" too. Eventually I just switched to a different keyboard with much less aggressive autocorrect, since I still need the autocorrect to type with any semblance of speed due to minor coordination issues.
My old keyboard abruptly started autocorrecting more typos into what I was saying than it corrected toward the end anyway. Probably some shoddy attempt to implement AI auto correction.
Some of my clocks have the option, some don't. I find it inconvenient to have different clocks set to different things making my brain have to mentally convert between eachother. Not to mention having to mentally convert the time every time I need to give a time to somebody else. It'd just be easier if the whole world was on 24 hour by default.
I support a move to 24 hour time. I'm sick of waking up from a nap checking the clock to see if I overslept, and it's like "It's 5." 5 what? Did I sleep 1 hour or 13?
Can't check the sun. I live in the north. The sun lies.
All you gotta do is push the ends that're stocking out under once it's soft enough. No stirring necessary. I suppose you can if that's easier for you, but I don't bother.
Editing in real quick though, I've never cooked high end pasta, so maybe that's different. I'm broke, so it's always the cheap stuff for me
I have never stirred pasta before, and never had it stick even once. Are you sure you're waiting for the water to reach a full boil to add the pasta? At that point that air bubbles should be knocking it around enough that you don't have to bother.
Indeed. I drink between a gallon and two gallons every day, depending on how active I've been. According to my doctors, it's perfectly safe. I'm fairly certain water intoxication only hits at pretty absurd amounts.
Fixed typo resulting in ticks giving lyme disease instead of limes diseases. Ticks now properly feed on fruit juices instead of blood.

Depends. Nicer to men? Probably. Nicer to women? Hell. No.
Can't count how many times I've seen people call out things like body shaming of men, but do the same thing to women and suddenly it's a "natural expression of human sexuality."
I suppose it's just the end result of any community dominated by an extreme majority of men, but it sure as hell doesn't feel good and has made me heavily consider deleting my account and just finally giving up on social media entirely.
