Idk I don’t think an officer should have the right to pull over a person driving the posted speed limit in clear weather with no other proximate reason but maybe I’m insane.

Where I’m from an officer can always pull you over for “reckless driving” or “impeding traffic”. The argument can literally be made that you’re driving dangerously no matter how fast you go. These days I just stick to the literal posted speed (as long as road conditions and traffic allow) and I’ll let a lawyer defend me from any citations. I stay in the slow lane and am constantly getting passed but I’ll be damned before I get another ticket for going 6 over.

colforge@lemmy.worldto Autism@lemmy.world•It's Saturday 04/26/2025. Hey, What's Going On!3·3 months agoThis is why having a successful D&D group is one of the most difficult commitments in life. So many factors can get in the way and need to be overcome constantly to make it work.
In the game I mentioned FarmRPG, the meal “Crunchy Omelette” provides a temporary boost that multiplies the items gathered from pets by 1.5x. It can only be cooked during April and requires 5 of the the event item Egg 05 which itself is valuable and is traded on the game’s player-driven market for said value. Additionally it can’t be cooked by brand new players, it takes at least a couple months of play to unlock the kitchen and get to Cooking Level 35.
The scarcity of the item and its value causes it to be rather expensive for new players to obtain enough of to use reliably when they need to collect from their pets for quests and such, and so I like to hoard a bunch to give away. Since only need to collect from my pets once a month (my inventory size will always outpace the amount of items they generate by then) I need only 12 of these for myself. I’ve currently cooked over 8000 this month and given away 2000+ and I’m keeping the rest to disburse to newer players throughout the rest of the year.
The second image is definitely how I do it but left handed.
I’m left handed and grew up in a fundamentalist Christian “church” (Cult!!!) so there was just literally no way for me to hold a pen “properly” in the eyes of adults in my life.
Even when I eventually went to public school in the 7th grade I had terrible “chicken scratch” handwriting and honestly wrote better in cursive/script so teachers either made me do that or just type my homework up and print it. Any that watched me write would just shake their heads though lol.
colforge@lemmy.worldto Autism@lemmy.world•It's Saturday 04/26/2025. Hey, What's Going On!3·3 months agoI got in trouble with the mods of a game I play (FarmRPG) for asking basic questions about how the block function works, after learning a player I had never interacted with blocked me. I was trying to discern whether I should block them back (I’ve ultimately determined the answer is yes so I don’t keep seeing their posts and potentially trying to respond to their help requests when they can’t even see my reply).
Apparently just asking about the functionality in open chat instead of directly messaging an individual mod with my questions amounted to harassment of the player who blocked me, because they might see other players talking about the block function too and think I’m targeting them or something….
So now I’ve been accused of harassing a player I’ve literally never interacted with before simply because my natural curiosity and need to understand how things work apparently offends other people. Not specifically autism related but kinda tangentially I guess lol. So that’s fun!
Besides that I’d been spending the whole month cooking a meal that’s only available in April to be able to have a back stock to hand out all year. Now I’m just not quite as excited about it though.
Sorry to hear about your cancelled D&D game. I DMed a campaign for 3 years so I know how frustrating it is when scheduling conflicts arise. As the host I always tried to be available and never the reason a session had to be cancelled.

That’s being a little purposely obtuse as that is obviously putting other drivers in danger. I mean that I shouldn’t have to worry about being pulled over if the radar gun says I’m driving the speed limit, obeying traffic laws, and driving a vehicle that is road legal and well maintained.
Yet an officer absolutely can pull me over and ruin my day and waste my time and money making me go to court over absolutely nothing and the absolute worst that can happen to them is a slap on the wrist if anything.
