I rewatch it every 3 years or something. It’s like a comfort show, and I’ve forgotten most of the details by then

It’s crazy sometimes how an ex seems like an irredeemable horrible person; but then years later you see them with someone else and they’re happy and completely normal. It’s like the combination of you and them made them bad ~ not that it’s your fault of course for being who you are, but they were redeemable after all

I liked that moment, because it makes Pam more human. She said something weird and immediately realised her mistake, but you can’t unsay things

For context, autism doesn’t really have anything to do with accuracy of maths. It has symptoms like difficulty communicating and special interests.

It’s hard to explain, but “your autism has failed you” just feels weird. I have autism myself. I’ll probably struggle to explain why, but here goes:

• The original comment was using autism as a joking explanation as to why they enjoy doing calculations. The reply turns that against them: “your autism should have made you good at this, but you failed.” It’s ok to have self deprecating humour, but it’s less funny to deprecate others.
• It reinforces the stereotype that all autistic purple must be good at calculations, logic, and detail oriented tasks. As if it’s a superpower or special talent, and this person’s autism powers simply failed to activate correctly. It turns the joke into a standard they’re supposed to meet.
• It makes the mistake seem more serious and personal than it is. We’re calculating condom based floatation devices here lol

They could have just supplied the corrections to the calculations without making it about their identity. I assume (in good faith) that they meant it as a joke as well; it just came across as a bit insensitive and demeaning.

I’m upset now

Have you tried using the dedicated triple dot character (…) instead of three separate dots (…)? It’s a life changer

See that’s a meaningful response, even if I don’t personally agree with it. Your original reply did that annoying thing where someone hyperfixates on one tiny part of the comment and ignores the actual topic being discussed.

Imagine if I replied to your comment with just “2026? A.I. has been a thing for much longer than that.” Like, yeah; but also that’s not the important part lol

In reply to your actual comment at the end: It’s actually kind of a big problem with LLMs. For them to be useful, they need access to absolutely everything. This has privacy implications, and can even cause catastrophic errors like deleting the database

“your autism has failed you” is kind of a fucked up thing to say

Exactly. Families are extremely varied in logistics and presentation… Businesses in their ivory towers imagine a stereotypical nuclear family where everybody lives in the same house. Out of 5 families I personally know; only one fits that description.

Some kind of big cat like a jaguar or tiger sounds cool. Agile, fast, and strong; but also cute, fluffy, and can cuddle in a warm sunny spot. Might be hard to be a vegetarian, though. Maybe I only eat in human form or something? Brb making a new Pathfinder character.

Most useless power is being able to perfectly know the time 🕰️

I’m convinced you have to have a certain kind of brain to enjoy Twitter style content

It’s simply unintuitive and confusing for like 10% of people. You have to like, relax your brain, and just accept that you’re never going to read things in a logical organised tree. It really is basically a big pile, and you just see what you see, and don’t think about what you’re not seeing; if that makes sense. You cannot read everything in a thread and have to accept that and relinquish control

If this bothers you too much, it’s just not for you; sorry 😂 personally once I realised that, I just gave up on that whole thing

You reminded me of this False Knees comic (couldn’t find it online so this is a photo of my physical comic book)
