Greetings outlander. Why walk when you can ride? We make a special trip, just for you
hell, actually acting like you're fighting an attention span war would mean trying to grab people's attention and hold it. they're intentionally conceding an attention span war. acting like they've got punitive treaties with tiktok that they've gotta abide by

if you make a game that actually engages my full attention it'll get my full fuckin attention, doing anything else won't even be an option. if you make a game where trying to pay full attention means being bored half the time that's a problem with the fuckin game

110% the reason people got shit open on a second monitor is because the shit open on their first monitor warrants it

In addition to cops just being bad at their jobs, "detectives" as commonly understood from TV and books just, functionally, don't exist. A job called that exists but it's a completely different job that mostly does not involve any investigating whatsoever

damn dude that's crazy. that's so sucks for you dude

You also don't have to talk about people to whom the weather is relevant like they're worthless morons. You can just ignore them
November 11, 2025 at 4:01 AM
You don't have to like it. You don't have to do it. But you also don't have to waste hours of my time trying to convince me to agree that you are a very smart boy and that you have never done anything wrong in your life

if you spend a million words talking about how everyone but you is a mindless idiot i'm not terribly inclined to believe you when you say "i don't think i'm better than anyone." that isn't "inventing things"
November 11, 2025 at 3:54 AM
Can't speak for Joe but I'd say you come across as an arrogant misanthrope not bc you hate smalltalk or refuse to engage in it but because throughout this conversation you've constantly talked about the general public as a bunch of babbling morons and desperate losers
November 11, 2025 at 3:47 AM
also judging entirely by your own self-descriptions throughout this thread i think your problem might genuinely be that you think you're better than everyone else? old people at the busstop have internal lives too you realize
November 11, 2025 at 1:15 AM
i don't tend to initiate smalltalk but i think that if a stranger brings up the weather the fact that my perspective on it is reasonably likely to differ from theirs helps turn that into an actual conversation
November 11, 2025 at 1:14 AM
the vibes certainly matter but also i frequently walk to places that are over an hour away, or if i take the bus to the big library downtown i will end up walking to a bunch of different places near there

Honestly sometimes. Like if the weather has been particularly shitty, particularly, nice, unseasonable, first big snowfall of the year etc. That last one especially is downright exciting for me personally
November 11, 2025 at 12:27 AM
In retrospect everything I learned in special ed feels like some "we purposely taught her wrong, as a joke" shit. Only part of my reply that's not quite from personal experience is that I figured most of that out by my mid-20s
November 11, 2025 at 12:10 AM
Honestly I almost didn't hit post bc it felt kind of condescending to just say it like that. I wouldn't /dream/ of saying it if I weren't autistic myself
November 10, 2025 at 11:49 PM
I'd also add that many of these learned assumptions about how other people are feeling/reacting are significantly more likely to be true in grade school and a lot of autistic people can get stuck in them and make it well into their 30s assuming middle school dynamics still apply 100% of the time

"but what if republicans are so staunchly committed to being evil that they can't get any sort of deal, at all, all the way until the midterms" well that would suck but it would also result in congress being like 84% democrat
November 10, 2025 at 12:59 AM
i'd maybe understand if the apparent motive was that ending some amount of suffering now takes priority over more long-term concerns. i'd even accept being accused of cynical electoralism for this take. but the dems who most loudly want to cave are all cynical careerists themselves?
