reading this deposition that just got dropped where someone sued musk and ohhhh my god it is this funniest thing ever . i can see why his lawyer tried to keep this confidential . they’re both maybe the biggest idiots . this is like ace attorney
i doodled this right after scar's first episode, but didn't like it much so i cleaned it up just now and ended up liking it better :D anyway here's the cutest zookeeper in the entire universe
i love being purposefully inflammatory online especially if it is about things that do not matter. my currwent target is the dimension 20 fandom and it is made so much funnier by the fact that ive only watched the new season while very very high and i barely know what im talking about at all
i knowwww i knowwww im supposed to sympathize w cassandra in some way but i so deeply despise the concept of proselytizing and i disagree with authoritarian religious structures so much that i actually cannot feel bad for her i actually cant. sorry but i just cant. its so impossible for me to sympathize with an actual literal diety just bc she isnt being worshipped enough lol.
damien on Um Actually? cool + awesome but not surprising. he's been on an ep before, and is also a well-established Huge Nerd, its a great fit for him. AMANDA????????????
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.
