  • I went on a canyon drive one time. We started with 7 cars, when we got to the end of our route, we had 8. Hopped right out of his car and stood around in the circle with the rest of us, didn’t even register for a second that it was just some random guy. He thought it looked fun so he kept up with us. Cool dude.




  • Full disclosure, am also on the spectrum so I may have got some things wrong here, but I think I can explain.

    People think it’s funny when other people look like other things, and get frustrated when they themselves look like other things. I think this stems from the fact that once the comparison is made, it is hard to take the person seriously without thinking of the other thing.

    Weird analogy that just came to mind: imagine you book a tour to some World War II museum. You get there, and your groups tour guide is dressed as spongebob, or Spider-Man or something. They’re an excellent tour guide, and know their shit, but you’d have to be thinking to yourself, “why is Spider-Man telling me about some of the worst crimes against humanity?”, and that thought would be kinda funny.

    Now imagine your 20-something year old daughter is bantering with you and teasing you about your old man/ lady style. In the middle of the conversation, you see an ad for Encanto on the TV, and realize that your daughter looks exactly like the cartoonish and silly (not “stupid” silly that’s just how I describe the style) character in the movie. And you say, “why am I getting roasted by Mirabel?”, that’d be pretty funny.

    “Roasting” and “sick burns” are one of those “insulting each other as friends” things NTs are more skilled at doing and understanding than we typically are. It can of course go too far or be taken the wrong way but I don’t think the person in the OP felt genuinely wronged or that the joke was mean spirited.

    I hope I could help! Let me know if you’re still questioning it, and maybe I can try to clarify







  • There’s a 0% chance the tiktok generation avoids using nukes on itself.

    As much as we hate the ‘old guard’ and as much damage as they continue to do to the world, in a way they are protecting us.

    There is no way the tiktok/instagram/twitter generation has enough foresight and appreciation for human life to avoid pushing the nuclear button when they’re in control.

    Can you point out the parts that aren’t about generations? Because the first paragraph is a single sentence about “the Tok Tok generation”, the second paragraph is a single sentence about the “old guard” generation, and the last paragraph is, well, a single sentence about the “Tik Tok / Instagram / Twitter generation”.

    You’re correct, there are in fact other words in your post besides “generation”, but all three sentences are literally only about how the next generation is too XYZ compared to the previous one.

    Telling people to read your post again while giving zero additional context doesn’t make everyone else go, “wow that guy is so dumb for not understanding the clearly written post! OP is smart and cool!” it just kind of proves to everyone that you’re talking out of your ass and can’t explain your position.
