  • When I imagine Ralph, I see an outsider who is avoided by the other children and ignored by the teachers, with a loving but somehow helpless father. …being lonely , not being part of the group, not understanding the rules of the world around him.

    I think it has to do with the need for attention and closeness. When you lack it, you turn to the person who has already fulfilled this need for you. It's hard to live with unfulfilled needs that you can't fulfill yourself. I guess the key is to learn how to find a relationship where your feelings are reciprocated (and to find out when they are not). I know that feeling and I don't have a solution.

    I don't know whether this is a characteristic that is more prevalent in autistic people.





  • That is a BMW E46 Generation 3-Series with the “Business CD” audio option which does include an AM/FM radio tuner…

    So they left out the receiver but kept the am fm button? They could have used a cover/ blind instead. Why wouldn't they do that? We live in a strange world.

    …that being said you can clearly see it’s playing Track 11 of the CD…

    Good eye.

    …that being said I think “Radio” is commonly used generically for many devices playing audio content.

    I was previously under the impression that a device must at least be able to receive radio programs in order to be called a radio. But English is not my first language, so I could be wrong.

    So yer ma could be right that it is indeed just a CD player?





  • You seem ambivalent about the topic. I understand your arguments, but I don't agree with your solution. That doesn't need to bother you. We probably have very different requirements for transportation.

    I live in an area where I don't need a car to get where I want to - bike, bus and train are sufficient. And I don't normally need to transport so much that I need a car. And if I need a car I get a rental for a short time.

    Sometimes I shake my head a little in disbelief because I find the trend towards more individual transportation within large cars concerning. But then again my lifestyle isn't for everyone and who am I to judge? (But I'm entitled to my own opinion. ;)
