@frikilinux2 @SNeurotypicals @MagusFirebeard The different thing was one of the symptoms of schizophrenia, right? I'm sure I remember reading that somewhere

@SNeurotypicals @MagusFirebeard After a small search autism comes from German autismus which was coined by Beuler using two Greek worda αὐτός (autós, “self”) and -ισμός (-ismós, “-ism”). Interestingly the word was coined in 1911 for a different thing and autism wasn't first described until 1925.

@CapriciousBow @NoContextBrits That why did the chicken cross the road bit lives in my head rent free and I have no intent to evict

@NoContextBrits Sometimes I think I’m not just the only person to rate “Mongrels”, but the only person who remembers it!

What’s the most underrated British comedy series?

@noblechairs Discount shows on page but not on checkout?

Celebrate #BlackFriday with us! 🥳 The good thing? It's not just one day but 13! From November 18th to 30th you can find juicy #discounts on our website to upgrade your #setup with a fine #noblechairs! 🤩 ➡️ fal.cn/3tIVM

@noblechairs I'm trying to buy a chair that's been marked down, but every time I try to add it to my basket it goes in at full price. Am I doing something wrong? I thought maybe "free shipping" was overriding the black Friday discount but can't see how to remove to check

Hey @DisneyPlus, any reason there's no HD streaming on Linux? Chrome and Firefox both run the same DRM on Linux as they do on Windows so what's the story? If I can't stream HD, there's really no point in me having Disney+

Hermes/Evri whatever they call themselves now are still absolutely shocking. Due to be delivered yesterday, tracking just says "out for delivery" - status not changed since 10am yesterday (checked at close to midnight... Still apparently out for delivery due that day!). Useless

I appreciate Hermes' efforts to improve it's reputation by rebranding as Evri, but this would be better acchieved by being less shit at delivering parcels.

Hey @wizards_magic, any update on the Heads I Win, Talks You Lose Secret Lair that was ordered over a year ago??

@simonscott1975 They are amazing devices. I'm fully in love with mine

Have used my Steam Deck on holiday for keeping up to date with my Disney+ shows. I think I'm in love.

I sent someone a clip of me singing and they said I sounded like Corey Taylor, so that's me buzzing for the next week or so

disability is making a list of the issues in your body you’re going to get checked out once your most recent one is resolved

Yo, next door neighbour, if your parcel arrived broken it's because you're @UPS courier full on just threw it out of his van onto the road, then kicked it to face label side up. Dude either did not realise I was watching him or did not care

@rantybollox @AskADHD youtu.be/AbSehcT19u0 Showed this to my girlfriend and she just said "You"

@NovelDame @_CassandraLoren Funny thing is, I'm not even Jewish. I just became fascinated by the religion a few years back. Very interesting stuff!

@KentGeek @_CassandraLoren Ok but I'd listen to this whole thing.

@SNeurotypicals Had a boss tell me once "I'm an excellent communicator. It's not my fault if you don't listen properly". He did not appreciate it when I corrected him

@_Poulpy @Boblet3001 @lunaria710 @AutisticCallum_ Haha I remember an ex girlfriend once asking why so many of my friends were autistic. At the time I didn't know...

@Boblet3001 @KentGeek @lunaria710 @AutisticCallum_ (Autistic here trying to make a joke) Oh you are not autistic but you get along with your autistic friends ? You have social anxiety? Oh boy do I have news for you. (Meaning we live in packs so maybe if you weren’t already tested, think about it, we never know 🤷‍♀️)

I used to think being openly autistic would result in people being more accepting of my differences, but years of being openly autistic has shown me that most people think acceptance is giving me more time and grace to do things *their* way, not allowing me to do things *my* way.

@AdmiralMemo @BillHayden65 @lunaria710 @AutisticCallum_ I have taken to telling my girlfriend to "ask the actual question you want an answer to" whenever she asks something vague or weird. Sometimes it takes two or three tries for me to figure out I need to ask her that, but it's neat when I do

@BillHayden65 @KentGeek @lunaria710 @AutisticCallum_ 100% NTs rarely ask the questions that they actually want the answers to. Yes, I COULD go shopping with you. But... Do you want me to? Do you want to go now specifically? Do I want to? Am I allowed to decline? Do I get anything else out of this excursion?

@theonlyKTB @AskADHD Yep, I pace up and down, pick things up and put them back, look out the window... All sorts. Even medicated I'm like a squirrel looking for a nut when I'm on the phone
