The most damning thing I can say about BJ Hunnicutt is his favorite Billy Joel song would be Just the Way You Are.

#Mulcahy would defend it by saying at least their talking about Church

There's this perception on here among neurodivergent people that neurotypical social behaviour is all fake and arbitrary. That it's a cruel, baseless game played to "weed out" ND people or to cause pain and complicate things on purpose.

This is wrong. All of those social rules and nuances ARE communication. Sorry if this is rude but it's not the NTs' fault if things don't gel- the gap goes both ways. Just because communication doesn't make sense to you, doesn't mean it's random or purposeless. Remember this post?

Every interaction in an NT conversation has purpose, and communicates something, and I don't understand why nobody ever explains this to ND people. There's information on basic stuff like facial expressions, but never what any of it actually means.

Small talk about the weather isn't about the weather. It's about how nice it is to be around the people you're talking to, or feeling out their understanding of the world, or just saying that you're both present and people and you're being people together. It's not literal. The words are, but the broad scope isn't.

A conversation is not just an exchange of words, it's an exchange of acknowledgement, attention, and emotional understanding. Of course it confuses people when their part in that exchange is met with flat affect or unembelished words. It's like looking in a mirror and not seeing your reflection.

you know, sometimes i think in recent years we've lost track of asking the important questions that science fiction is all about, like "what if a small detachment of Napoleon's officers were kidnapped from a frozen field outside Moscow by aliens who wanted them to act as their generals?"

Wreck of the Comet, Kingston, Lake Ontario

A beautiful side-wheel steamer, the Comet was built in Kingston in 1848 and sank on May 14, 1861, after colliding with another ship. The most notable features of this wreck are the twin paddle wheelers on either side of the vessel that remain fully intact. The Comet is about 53 metres long and lies about 25 metres below the surface. Although much of the ship has collapsed, the intact wheels on either side create an almost other-worldly effect.

ur so cool n funny n have such good taste

I mulled over being all blushy responding to this or being faux arrogant, because I clearly know how to take a complement, but I think the best thing I can do in this situation is give a fun fact I like to talk about and encourage you to DM me.

I read in a book that the reason we call those big armoured trucks with treads and guns "tanks" is because when they were first being built in WWI, it was under a code of absolute secrecy. Not even the people building them were allowed to know what they were building. So, the British government decided to call them "water carriers".

However, it was pointed out that the initial for "water carrier" would be "W.C", which British people would have interpreted as "water closet", and the government didn't want people thinking they were just making portable toilets, so they changed it to "water tanks" and the name stuck.

Frankly I'm not entirely sure how true this is, but it's a very neat story, and I did actually read it in a book, not online, so it must be true. Right?

Anyway, thank you for this lovely ask, and I beseech you to DM me.

Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like "For shame... you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??" to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says "Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity... Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over 'brand recognition', they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!" to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says "Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans," to which I say "I don't know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx"

“if you’re worried that you’re a bad person, don’t be! bad people don’t worry that they’re bad” <- seeing this a lot lately and i find it so goofy lol. it’s always a waste of time to categorize anyone as an essentially good/bad person but also like. you can be a “good” person who agonizes over their choices and still end up making choices that are careless or cowardly or even deliberately harmful. the act of worrying doesn’t absolve you of shit bro

#chidi anagonye #but also while I don't think this is wrong #that advice is nearly universally used to dispell people's anxiety about having done a 'bad' thing that was not actually bad at all #it's basically equivalent to saying 'everything is going to be okay' when factually not everything will be okay and you can't possibly know
