Why do people put such value on friendships? |

| I know I don't. I work a crappy job, have never had a girlfriend and have never had sex, so no kids. At my age (38) that makes me not able to find others I can socialize with. Add to that that I work a working class job but talk like I have a PHD and have interests not shared with others around me ... |

| I have both AS and ADHD and I'm clueless with social situations plus I get distracted very easily, making it worse. IMO, the two make each other worse and also better; my ADHD pretty much makes it nearly impossible to carry out obsessions with any consistency which makes it easier on my hubby and f... |

| Uh yeah, because there's no such thing as STDs. :roll: Should we all live entirely sexless and repressed lives due to the fear of STDs? Life in general has risks. Sexual activity is no different. You simply need to weigh up the risks that are right for you. Many people are somewhere in between - i.... |

| I think for extremely gifted programmers C is probably a good choice. You have to be an ace at pointers (which can be daunting even for experienced programmers) and grapple with things like variable length strings. Take a look at the rich string library in a language like .net or PHP. You could spen... |

| Do they have higher rates of suicide? I do think of suicide a lot as I get older and see how hopeless and I am and opportunities lost but I don't think I would actually do it. I look at life as a prison sentence -eventually everyone is released - some sooner, some later. Suicide is an escape attempt. |
