I'm An Autistic Sperm Donor | Jake Rush | Overwhelmingly Neutral

[@RPWhitworth]

The thought of someone facing away from the ocean at the beach has me crying

[@someareroses]

I went on a hike on the beach with a man I'm attracted to and he kept looking around (it was gorgeous) and I was actively copying him at every turn because left to my natural inclinations I would have looked at the ground all 10kms

[@BandlerChing]

I cackled. I cannot wait to do this in the summer 😂😂

[@mariuszd.4909]

i don't know if i did it or not, if its even like masking, or what position would be right, occurs to the ocean i love it but... other side could be interesting too,, still in group of people this could be odd feeling

[@Ozloz]

Profound observations is like autistic people’s whole thing

I’m autistic and donor conceived. When I met my donor father I found out that he is very much autistic too ☺️

[@yakuzzi35]

another blow to the eugenics community

3:26 But it is so highly genetic, that's really interesting that it is not considered so. Basically any autistic person I have ever known including myself has a parent who has it, whether they acknowledge it or not.

[@Kinuhbud]

you are right, and that's all part of the joke i think

[@phoebeblaze3668]

It's probably to avoid people rallying to have us forcefully chemically castrated. Many ableist people already hold this view and it's more than just problematic, it actively puts us in danger. Therefore, even though the experts are well aware that it's inheritable, they lie and say it isn't in order to protect us from the knuckle draggers who think people different from them should be eradicated.

[@BandlerChing]

My dad, sister, myself and my son all have adhd. My dad will never get diagnosed at this point in his life, but if you know you know lol. My sister and I didn’t get diagnosed until after my son was, because it was like “ooooh ok!” Neurodivergence’s are very much genetic!

[@kingdollop-head743]

Not as much always a parent, but very very often at least one close relative, like cousin, grandfather, etc. But they mean because there’s no direct gene for it, it’s very complex and has a genetic component

[@BandlerChing]

@@kingdollop-head743 definitely gets deeper into epigenetics, which is so interesting to me, and also way to complex for my normie brain to fully comprehend lol

[@mango8918]

An intelligent set that wasn't dumbed down for the cheap laugh. Loved it!

[@realname8144]

People never believe I’m autistic until I start talking about my 6 pet snakes lmao.

[@Lucas-mk1gi]

Yeah, luckily I have a wife who finds cute to hear me talk about my special interests for a lot of time, other people just get annoyed, unless it is somehow information beneficial to them (one of my interests is diet and hipertrophy training) but even so, they get tired of listening really fast

[@peggedyourdad9560]

I sadly only have one pet snake so far, I might get more once I have the money for it. Mine's a female Ball python that is either a normal or a low-expression pastel (kinda hard to tell by looking).

As an Autistic female, I'm so jealous you were diagnosed so young. I wasn't diagnosed until I was 36, and suddenly my life made sense.

[@aprilk141]

I'm in my forties. Figured out I was trans at thirty. Just now able to explore my sexuality and watching a lot of ADHD and autistic creators and God damn, no wonder I thought I was an elf or an alien in my youth. Much love to you❤

[@lbatemon1158]

@@aprilk141 and to you, too!! I grew up very conservative, and as such, have a lot of family that is that way. A young relative is transitioning, and I find myself defending them regularly by pointing out that transitioning is no easy task and reminding my relatives it's basically like signing up for puberty all over again. So I wish you luck in your journey. We have to know our brains!!

[@swissarmyknight4306]

I was 42. I suddenly started understanding why I couldn't understand the people around me.

About 1 minute in, I realized I would have to leave my drink alone for the rest of the set. I kept laughing consistently enough that the risk of choking was too high.

[@aldranzam3456]

Lol Autism is 100% inheritable. Jake has probably gifted the world a couple new autistic babies. Which is actually great!

Maybe because you are also neurodivergent?

[@ultralance]

As a short autistic biological male (under 5'6"), my observation is that confidence is way more important than any single physical attribute. I mean, everyone has their type(s), but you can be a physical gigachad - without confidence, you won't find anyone.

[@therabbithat]

Young people are very impressed by confidence.

[@ultralance]

@@therabbithatOh right, I forgot mature women only want spineless cucks. My bad.

This is all amazing, but to be fair, Paul McCartney was even younger than the girl in question when he wrote that lyric. He wrote the song when he was 16 and it came out when he was 20.

As someone who can grow a mustache and a goatee but not a proper beard, it's annoying that in order to look handsome in either you need to already be handsome... 😄

This was truly a perfect set.

[@KrashyKharma]

Granted, I only learned to talk in the 90s, but as far as I can tell, "really? its (this year)" started with the 90s; "It's the 90s" was definitely a thing, and from what I can tell it was from the "party like it's 1999" ethos of having a general feeling that the world was supposed to end in 2000. In an early Roseanne episode Darlene even says "it's *almost* the 90s".

He's got a point about the Christmas carol, especially if you know it was used in its original movie. You have one couple sing it the normal way, guy has the guy part, girl has the girl part. The other couple reversed it, guy sings girl part and she sings the guy part; but she was much more forceful with chasing after him than the first guy was.

I looked up the origin of mirror’s the other day, too. It dates back to the Egyptian period. In where, they used copper to see themselves. The next question should be, when did vanity begin? Vanity was pretty much questioned, in his skit, so to speak. You’re a funny person. Don’t stop, what you started. Thank you for the laugh, on this Christmas Day 🎄

[@moxiebombshell]

as a huge history nerd, I'm not sure about the vanity thing exactly but I know it was something warned against at least in the middle ages? The other part of his set tho, where he was saying he wondered when we started saying things like, 'really, we're still doing [x]? it's 2022!' as if we 'expected things to be fixed by now'? That's actually been a thing for at least hundreds of years. Generally speaking, humanity seems to tend towards thinking that 'kids these days' are worse than they used to be (we have Roman-Era laments from a father about it), and that whatever the present day is is simultaneously worse and better than the past 😅

[@Suzette_Lilyrose]

@@moxiebombshell Hello History buff. History has not been my strong suit, in school. For I had a lot chronological questions, that didn’t add up, hence my buff. My reply…regarding the post. *It is to say…then, that…it is the “spirit of the times,” that calls upon us (zeitgeist). Regarding time, as it fleets, if we do not sit with it. Per Martin Heidegger, time is Dasein. Dasein means…time moves in our past, in our future, while in our present. Think of a Venn diagram, for reference.

Hopefully the sperm bank limits it to ten babies per doner otherwise there could potentially be a thousand babies from one doner and when they grow up they accidently inbreed with each other and then eventually the population has more health problems.

[@Lucas-mk1gi]

Yeah, there was a guy in some European country which was going to several clinics, and he was prohibited to be a sperm donor in the country, because his children could inbreed without knowing
