Already had his hands ready

I can tell you from experience that I absolutely notice when police do this to me and it absolutely feels like a threat. Being a police officer in the US isn't even close to being the most dangerous profession but they treat every interaction as if this will be the one that kills them.

no, because this one is obviously lying, so the other one tells the truth. (or as the riddle is normally solved, you know the answer is false because no matter which you ask, they'll end up giving you the wrong answer)

Easy-Intermediate-Hard

I had it easy teaching my daughter to drive - she was naturally cautious so if anything I only ever had to remind her to speed up. We live in a small enough city that I never even did that unless there was traffic behind her. I let her learn at her speed (and then sent her to driving school to get that discount on insurance). No yelling or extra stress required

Cheerful Tuesday... what's made you laugh or smile recently?

A couple of days ago we had to take our oldest dog to the emergency vet about an hour from home. She seemed to be in lots of pain from her arthritis and I was afraid of what they would tell us. They did a few tests and said basically that we should have been giving her some daily medicine to help with inflammation. We left with the pills in hand and now the old girl is walking around much better and is seeming more like her old self again. While we're upset at our regular vet for not doing this stuff sooner, we're happy that it's done now.

I've grown my hair out several times over the years and this is the most correct answer. Currently my hair at my preferred length: long enough I can put it in a tail but not so long that my back doesn't pinch it against a chair.

What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? August 19

normally I like to read only one book at a time but trying to branch out, so I'm reading two. A physical book and an ebook. I still struggle with audiobooks, so I'm avoiding that. Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy I just finished like 10 minutes ago and I loved it. A story of love, loss, family and a warming planet. All wrapped up in a mystery set on a remote island where the next ship isn't expected for several weeks. what's not to love?

and

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. I'm only a few chapters into this book, trying to read it at a group's pace and I'm pretty sure I'm going to just blow through the whole book soon. Especially now that I've finished my other book. but I'll pick up a new one later today, which may help

What are some fun hobbies to do as someone with autism?

There are plenty of us who enjoy board and card games. I know others have suggested TTRPGs, but those can have an extra layer of anxiety (for me at least) because of all the extra social stuff that goes along with it. Board games typically go faster and each has it's own rules, so you can find one that suits your needs or even one that is themed around another interest you have.
