@7kiwi11 @rosey_nz Shame you’re being forced at gunpoint to do that then. Oh wait, you’re not. So, what are you whinging about?

@rosey_nz I live in the country. I can't think of anything worse than going in to a city to be squished into a metal tube packed with strangers.

'Across the country, the average household contributes roughly $1,373 annually towards public transport regardless of whether anyone in that household ever uses it.' 'Every additional dollar spent subsidising public transport is a dollar collected from a population that overwhelmingly does not use it.' open.substack.com/pub/aniobrien/…

@rosey_nz Braindead, infantile libertarianism. Should childless people get a break on funding public schools? Totally privatised health care? Why not just make every road a toll road and charge people per mile for exactly the distance they travel? Idiotic.

@sayanythingto @Dubious_Angel Ok fine - any woman obsessed with “being hot” is autistic. Happy now?

@DDTimor_Leste @Dubious_Angel a) i disagree and i think you’re misunderstanding my point about the inherent flaw in the definition b) where did this definition even come from i don’t see this requirement when i look up autistic special interest online anywhere

A woman being invested in being hot is definitionally not an autistic special interest: 'Persistent restricted, repetitive, and inflexible patterns of behaviour, interests, or activities that are clearly atypical or excessive for the individual’s age and sociocultural context.'

@Nuttz003 @faithandheresy Why is your fkn hat so big?! Look at it! Do you have progeria or is that oversized cap the last thing your Dad gave you before he went out for cigarettes and you’re still waiting to grow into it?

@Nuttz003 @faithandheresy Scrawny low-rent meth head loser with gas station sunglasses and shitty ear gauges talking like he’s king shit of the universe. You pitiful little cunt, why are you even alive? Your life must just be unending misery.

America is fundamentally about making your own individual life easier at the expense of everyone else.

@AllBiteNoBark88 Crank up the image contrast facetune sliders and get some bigger sunglasses, we can still tell you’re a scraggy old moll. You’ll never get anywhere as an online social media panhandler looking like that, darls.

People who like a FREE Ride Labor Politicians Labor Voters But don't worry if you are not in either of those groups. Labor still need you around to pay for both.

@awillia72659217 @Markyles You just upset because NDIS doesn’t cover rogaine or tren?

@Markyles Don’t worry mate plenty of stuff to cut from useless government waste and public servants who try to take more tax and freedoms from the tax payers ..

I see Malcolm Roberts is posting that One Nation will remove the excise on beer and spirits in licensed venues. Sounds wonderful but this would cost the budget upwards of $5 BILLION. So tax payers, be they drinkers or not, would end up paying one way or the other!

@JackDostine @chapman_auspol @Markyles You’re accusing people of being “one dimensional” and your fkn solution is an economy powered by more people going to the pub? Fuck off you brainless dickhead.

@chapman_auspol @Markyles Spot on. Positive flywheel. More people employed . More consumed. Payroll, GST, Income tax, Corp tax, super etc. On dimensional zero-summers need to level up the thinking.

@crayfish_crypto @Markyles Amazingly elastic budget from ON. Defence spending *way* up, new hospitals built especially for the elderly, direct payments for childcare, and yet everyone pays less tax! Housing “is a right for all Australian” and house values go up and rent goes down somehow. Pure magic!

@Markyles It won’t matter taking 5 billion from the budget if government is reduced in size, corruption removed and the NDIS is wound back. I’m not paying all that extra tax so ex dole bludgers can rort the NDIS etc. This government is too big, too wasteful and too corrupt!

@maebrusselhead2 @RickBeato2 Yeah, the there are a lot of episodes where you can really see the formula of “Larry gets into an awkward social situation and escalates it through pedantic, contrarian insistence on being technically correct”

@RickBeato2 it can be very one note with the constant conflict

People say this all the time and there are very high highs but also entire seasons that kind of suck.

@RickBeato2 I find most of the heavily improv'ed shows are like that. Always Sunny and Trailer Park Boys have some hilarious bits but if you sit down and watch entire seasons they can be a slog through a lot of B- material

@PluginHyBrad When did car enthusiasts ever day “I wish they would design something interesting - I don’t mind if it’s ugly as shit”? Never, so I don’t know what point you think you’re making. Nobody was crying out for hideously ugly but in a novel way.

Car enthusiasts for the last decade: “Every car looks like a lifeless blob crossover! I hate it! I wish they would design something unique and interesting!” Car enthusiasts now: “NOT LIKE THAT! 😭”

@asstr0n0my @MickOnMain That’s a two-way street. If someone is regularly clankingly rude there’s only so many times they can say “oh it’s my neurodivergence making me grindingly unpleasant to be around - be kind” before people get fed up. *You* also have a responsibility. It’s not on everyone else.

@DDTimor_Leste @MickOnMain uh huh. but then you also have the responsibility to be kind.

People will smell autism on you like a bloodhound and immediately just find reasons to hate you because you just act differently than them. That’s it.

@ki__moi_ @MickOnMain *posts the most overwrought, turgid, woe-is-me, self-pitying screed online for attention* “I don’t give a shit about your opinion!” The fact you’re confused about why people dislike you when it’s so fkn obvious is the clearest sign they’re going to continue to dislike you.

@DDTimor_Leste @MickOnMain aw, look at you attempting to make me give a shit about your opinion. how adorable☺️

@sayanythingto @Dubious_Angel There is a reason - it doesn’t fit the criteria. In the same way a man being really into a sports team doesn’t fit *unless* they’re doing it in a way that’s “atypical for their age and/or cultural context”. An autistic special interest isn’t just “my favourite thing”.

@DDTimor_Leste @Dubious_Angel no im saying there is no reason to exclude some women’s special interests (likely what they were exposed to at a young age and latched on to) because they are typical of their social position. it should be about the degree of interest rather than the propriety of that interest.

@lilestradiol I like when they come up with “my lifestyle determines my death style” and are nodding with raised eyebrows in self-congratulation like “whew, yeah deep stuff man!”

you dont realize how stupid "Some Kind of Monster" is as a song title/lyric until you're watching Some Kind of Monster and see Metalica come up with it in the studio and go "yeah that fucking rules"

@sayanythingto @Dubious_Angel So rather than accepting that someone does not fit into a diagnostic category for whatever reason, you think the category should just be modified and expanded until they do? Do you understand that categories by their nature must be exclusionary of some experiences?

@Dubious_Angel maybe the definition as it exists should be adapted to include the experiences of these women & the way that it is is exclusionary of their experiences

@kenlazy2 It doesn’t even make sense. Why would a successful businessman need a job at all? Something tells me this fella might not be entirely on the level.

Even in your fantasy you remained a slave

@John1yc4 @sivori Same, I thought that was Alex Winter

@sivori Jesus Christ almost didn’t recognize Penn here

When I worked at a video store, I would often bring random 80s films home at the end of my shift and lie awake in front of the VCR bathed in blue light watching stuff I knew nothing about. I think what I like most about 1980s cinema is that this was a period, I suspect, when movie-going by teens was at its zenith. Whether horror films with practical effects or the coming of age films the 80s are known for, you could find so many little gems. There was a cultural confidence and serious consideration of young people and what might appeal to them. There was one particular film, "Wild Life", written by Cameron Crowe, who is best known for "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and the uber-classic "Say Anything", that I found charming. The Chris Penn character coins his own slogan during the film, "it's casual", that I tried to use for some time after, though the film was a decade or more older by then.

@asstr0n0my @MickOnMain You have not had anyone say that to you who wasn’t deeply autistic themselves, or who wasn’t just being rankly rude and trying to insult you. The fact those two things can be hard to tell apart is what makes autistic people exhausting to be around in the first place.

@MickOnMain i've had people be like "yeah you're so pleasant, i just dislike you, idk why tho" 😭 so while that one guy is kiiinda correct, it's also a very dismissive take of "it's always YOUR fault." and also takes away social responsibility from non-autistics to accommodate disability
