  • that sounds a little harder than what I’m trying to pull off. I heard there’s this super secret scumbag lifehack where if an autistic person picks a country different enough from their own, their social symptoms tend to just appear as average immigrant idiosyncrasies.

    I’m pretty repulsed by my own country’s culture so I’m hoping I’ll be spared that “grass is always greener” fallacy that tends to befall other expats.




  • personally? bad eye contact. accidentally using innuendos because there’s 80 million of them and I forgot to consider one of them when I was speaking. not catching somebody’s meaning when they hid it in an innocuous statement. severe irritability in the cold or around loud continuous noise. overstepping a social boundary and abruptly withdrawing half an hour late when it dawns on me what I did. having no boundaries to other people because I’m trying to be personable and blend in when I don’t.

    all together that sounds pretty obvious but it never happens all at once. if I’ve gotten enough sleep then I will mask most of it, whether I want to or not







  • okay, I’ll level with you. thanks for not making me read a novel this time, I am american and can’t read. what’s scary wasn’t anything that was said to me here. It is what happens when people with a large leftist following or even just in a large leftist space have a bad take and the resulting inquisition spills onto adjacent or non-adjacent people who just have a “similar vibe”. it’s scary because it trickles down and the audience were doing to for entertainment.

    no, Contra is fine, she’s made of money and can dry her tears with gift kerchiefs from the Clinton’s for years. but in doing this ritual we set a precedent for purity testing and purging eachother and I’m pretty sure way less of us on the left have patreon bucks to survive or can chill with the Clintons when we lose our community. it’s scary because we do it for fun and it’s beginning to define the movement more than equity or liberty do. I’m sure that sounds like exaggeration, I don’t know how to convince you it’s not and I am sorry for that. But it’s why I keep being the dumbass in the crowd who says “hey this is scary, can we not?”. As an aside, I don’t think it helps people in Gaza but I’ve been avoiding saying that to try and stay focused on one thing.


  • “you could have just kept your mouth shut”

    gish-gallops off 8 different esoteric Mesopotamian translations of what I said in only 7 miles of text

    “literally repeat for me what scary things ‘we people’ do? btw quick clarification for the hexbesties in the crowd…”

    nah I can see now this is like a little performance you’re doing. and I gotta admit you do have me monologuing to a brick wall for an embarrassing amount of time. you should have been there in 2016 the gamergate guys would have never seen you coming.


  • two comments that can be summed up as “I don’t blame her, you people are scary and do scary shit with little provocation” is caping. yeah, unfortunately I can hear my own tone there. this probably did feel like an focused personal attack on you and everything you stand for. with all that in mind I’m just going to skip the part where we make little bulleted lists at eachother and let the rest of all that lay where you left it. I’m enjoying fediverse and you aren’t going to be the debate lord who ruins it for me.
