Verbalise Puns

Hi, I am looking to make my arduino to verbalise out some data via a speaker.

The data range would be probably be about 0 - 500. Is there any way that I can go about it?

I don’t know if anybody else has had this issue come up! It’s not that she wants me to walk around loudly and proudly declaring that I’m non-straight or anything. But if anyone asks about my sexuality, she has said she’s not comfortable with me saying “straight with one exception”. She says it makes her feel like I don’t really see her as a woman, and would stop others seeing her as a woman too. I do totally get that but I don’t want to pretend to be something I’m not. I really don’t think that I’m gay or even bi. I don’t think I would be likely to love or be attracted to any other woman. My truth is that I love my partner so deeply that I have been able to absorb the change in her gender presentation into my heart; and am so attracted to her that it doesn’t matter that she isn’t the gender I normally like. She would like me to say I am “queer” but I just don’t think that’s true. I feel like that word describes a whole identity, and a community which I have never been part of, and I don’t want to claim it as my own when it isn’t.

At the end of the day, it maybe doesn’t matter. It’s nobody else’s business what my sexuality may be. But I really think my partner needs to believe I am gay/queer to feel that she is a woman. She doesn’t put pressure on me or anything, we don’t even discuss this subject much, is just been playing on my mind since the last time we discussed it. Any thoughts?

Edit since this seems to be getting misunderstood by some people: My partner is not demanding that I change myself or live a lie or anything like that. She is not putting pressure on me. She simply expressed a wish that I would not describe my sexuality using words that imply she isn’t a woman. I want to do that but also I don’t want to pretend I’m gay when I’m not. This is a request for how I can best reach a respectful compromise with my partner, not an invitation to criticise her.

Hi all,

I don’t know how to explain this exactly but I often have this problem where sometimes I can’t physically communicate the thoughts in my brain into words, just wondering if anyone here has come across it and if there is a name for it?

Thank you.

Can't say I'm suprised.

There are so many things that make me angry in my life. I used to smoke as a means of anger management. Now I am consumed with anger & I can't control it.

Today I was trying to fix my bike & just got more & more frustrated as time went on, the sun was making me sweat and it was pouring into my eyes and in a moment of rage I picked up my bike and slammed it off the ground then flung the little chain tool across the garden.

I then made some tea & went to write about in my journal. But the emotion came back and I ended up smashing my pen and flinging my notebook across the room.

Wtf is wrong with me? I feel like I'm getting a little better every 3rd or 4th day, but days in between are rollercoasters of emotion. I swing up and down depending on what I'm doing. If I go to the gym I feel great for the rest of the day but then the next few days I'm tired & easily irritable.

Pardon me for venting.

Example is battle scene on Cybetron in Bumblebee movie

Professional advice/guides are welcomed.

I also think it might be language specific so... I dunno how to go about it.

"It's like feeling 30 emotions all at the same time, resulting in feeling cripplingly overwhelmed, like I'm frozen in time and the world is moving around me so fast, I have 10 thousand thoughts racing through my mind but at the same time the only thought I can focus on is that we barely exist, on this burning floating rock, hurtling through space. Its never for just a few minutes I feel like this for days and days on end."

A conversation I had with my boyfriend earlier today, until now I had never been able to put this feeling into words. I am 27 and I was diagnosed with ADHD combined type in January 2021.

Prior to my diagnosis Emotional Hyperarousal is something that I would feel consistently, I would have a few sporadic days of clarity but otherwise it would plague nearly every waking hour of my existence. If I was not in this state I would be suffering from an extensive burn out because of it, manic, dissociated and numb. Since being medicated I now rarely feel Emotional Hyperarousal, but now when I do, it catches me off guard and for the first time in my life I can explain it.

It is bitter sweet,

Okay, please bear with me.

I LOVE pleasant smells. Who doesn't, right? However, literally all fragrances available on the market just irritate me and feel like they always have that same 'perfumey' base smell with some small top-note changes. They feel the same to me. When I wear a perfume (again almost any perfume) I hate it. I can handle Phylosikos by Diptyque. Handle. Maybe a major irritant is missing there.

However, I love the smell you have in the house after you made vanilla cream or baked a cake. I love the smell of spring air and herbs in the kitchen. I love the smell of wood (not woody fragrances), grass, clean skin and books. These smells feel 'real' a never irritate me. I guess you got it by now - like any human, I love real, pleasant smells. So why can't I smell like those things? Those scents? For example, I want to smell like vanilla fudge, I DON'T want to smell like a vanilla fudge perfume (with that "chemical" perfume smell). I want to smell like kitchen air after baking, not a sweet floral perfume. I want to smell like caramel and not like caramel perfume. Like you know, smelling a cake or creme brulee is always light and pleasant. Desserts don't smell like overpowering gourmand cotton candy perfumes. Instead they smell light, comforting and cosy. Am I missing something? Can you help? Any advice super appreciated.

The closest I got to this was wearing Hair Custard by LUSH (a hair product, NOT a perfume). People ALWAYS said "oh, is there a caramel cake here?" or "who brought warm fudge in here?" or "can you also smell vanilla cream? Where is it?". They NEVER told me "your perfume is great." They never guessed it was an artificial fragrance (in a hair care product), they assumed there was a real sweet dessert somewhere (which sometimes resulted in embarrassing situations during formal events like uni oral exams). I want to achieve that with more smells. I am saying it was the closest I could get because when I smelled this Hair Custard product up close it still smelled "chemical" and "itchy" to me, but much less than a regular perfume. Yet it still was not the real deal.

Thanks in advance <3

EDIT : I especially hate masculine, woody, earthy, smoky, burnt and "oriental" fragrance, if that helps. I love sweet, cosy smells and also fresh smells - but in the vein of spring herbs and flowers (I.e. the smell of a meadow = YES, the smell of a tulip = NO). Citruses are a big no as well. I am also intrigued by smells like Bibliot

I have a call with a therapist on Tuesday and I really want to emphasiy how much my binge eating controls my life. When I spoke to doctors previously, I was told to just eat better and exercise. It's not that easily fixed. I think of food all day every day, I obsess over nutrients, my whole self esteem is pinned on how much I weigh, whenever I feel down, depressed or even happy or bored, I eat, and I overeat and I binge.
How do I make it clear to the therapist I need help?

This is a case of unprofessional conduct by an employee-clerk at a local Kinko's print center (owned by FedEx). The corporate website only offers phone contact (or robo-chat)--no email address or regular mailing address. How can a detailed written statement be submitted to whoever deals with employee disciplinary issues? (Might it be best to send it to a regional management office? If so, same question.)

Can't be handed to the store manager--the employee IS the manager.

I can't find an answer anywhere, including other subreddits.

Is this a situation people are just supposed to "take" and move on?

I know my father's death ten years ago has affected me badly, my brother going to jail fucked me up, me having to look after my family financially is a massive stress factor, and my binge eating is out of control. But how do I verbalise all this? What do I say without coming across like a whiney sad fatass that just can't get on with life?

Today I was really angry while out with my family (not going to get into the story, but I was just in a bad mood). We approached the lift and no one was holding it open (I was the last one to go in) , and I remember thinking to myself : "if this closes on me , I don't even mind at this point". I feel like I'm not suicidal but I wouldn't mind if I died. (I'm aware the lift closing on me would not actually kill me)

Had an interview today, and as part of it I got a white-board problem. I verbalised my thought process about how I was planning to solve it, and the interviewer just said "You nailed it", and moved on to the next question.

All I had written on the white-board was a function declaration.

Specifically, today I found out one of my long time friends is expecting. She's been wanting to start a family for years now so obviously excitement all round. I was feeling happy for her, so I went to tell my Mum the news. Well as soon as I said it I just suddenly started crying?? Of happiness but also just because it's very big, exciting news. She was like "...why are you crying?" And I'm like well I'm happy for her? Idk was this a weird reaction? I wasn't expecting tears, they just started as soon as I said it. I'm not even sure that this is an autism thing but what do you guys think?

For context: my GF (20F) and I (20M) are in a strong (if that's the right word) DDLG dynamic; I'm very much a Dom, and she's very much a sub, both sexually and non-sexually.

We've both spoken about the fact that she struggles to bring up any kinks/things she wants to explore, generally but especially when she's in littlespace. This leads me to having to take the lead on a lot of things that I want to try out or do during any given scene, without ever bringing it up before - we've agreed that I was allowed to do this, and we have safewords in place in case she's uncomfortable (of course).

The main reason for my post is for her sake. I'd like her to be able to verbalise more often what she wants to do, or wants from the dynamic at large. She's a pretty shy person by nature, and because she's my LG too, she puts a lot of trust in me to take care of her needs and whatnot. I understand this, but I feel like she's failing to experience more of what I, and our relationship have to offer, and want to try coax her out of her shell. Any advice?

I feel that this question is broad enough to not warrant specific details about the relationship and the people in it. If I am wrong, let me know and I'll edit this to include what detail I am comfortable with sharing.

Sometimes, I can even start talking about the adjacent topic that crossed my mind without an intermediate differentiating between the two.

Is this something common with ADHD or is that language/bilingual thing?

So I've recently started seeing this guy (27m) and he's incredibly sweet and really good in bed, bomb combo! We were lying in bed the other night and taking and eventually the question about what my fantasies are came up, and I told him I actually didn't have much experience (truth, I've only had 1 other partner and that was abysmal) and I told him straight up, I find it difficult to communicate about sex. I know if he asks me yes/no questions I can answer them, but anything that requires an explanation or any other words and I cannot actually form the words (it feels like they're stuck and I get incredibly embarrassed even thinking about it) 😞 I'm worried this might affect us going forward. I know there's that online quiz that you and your partner can do, but I feel this is something I might need to do in person. So Reddit, I've scoured the threads and I can't find any advice about sexual communication in one place, anyone wanna help a sister out here? 🙏

Edit: You guys are amazing and I think I have a bit better handle on what might work!thanks bunches!
