WEEK 1 - RETIRED

Tuxedo Gin posted:

yes we all enjoy sleeping but all non-autists understand that when somebody asks you your hobbies or what you like to do, they are probing to get to know you and your personality. answering "sleep" tells them: 1) you are boring as gently caress, or 2) you do not understand basic social interactions

same with the "what are you doing?" > "chatting with you" poo poo.

trains are cool too

Autism is distinguished not by a single symptom, but by a characteristic triad of symptoms: impairments in social interaction; impairments in communication; and restricted interests and repetitive behavior.

just a reminder that in this country more than a handful of times i've asked someone "what are you doing?" and they respond to me with "i'm messaging you"

my own experience with a friend/ex-colleague was


Me: hey wanna have dinner?

Him: ...

Me: ?

(end of conversation, I eat ramen at home)


the next day


Me: hey wanna have dinner?

(1 hour later)

Him: where?

Me: what do you want, somewhere close to you?

(1 hour later)

Him: dono

Me: it's past dinner time dude

11 pm

Him: good night



when we finally met up i asked him what "..." means and he said it's "speechless, because i don't know what to say and i don't like rejecting ppl."

Oddly enough people here think eating while walking is a little kid thing
So pooping on the street possibly less weird than eating on the street

Paranoia most likely. I found myself doing it a couple times in the last few weeks. Also I saw quite a few escalators with nothing apparently wrong but switched off.

If you have a Bank of America account in the States, using a China Construction Bank ATM will save you the $5 fee.

Otherwise a Bank of China ATM inside the lobby (not on the street) is probably a safe-ish choice.

That reminds me how we, as kids, were warned to be careful of escalators because they might "eat" us. Now I don't know if that's one of those things that you say to mess with kids or if it's based on something that happened. Or maybe escalators were novel and people thought you will get sucked in if you don't step off quickly.

Well, it is get possible to get laces/pantlegs caught in the escalator which could be a bad day. Taiwan has signs all over the escalators now warning people with rubber/croc shoes to keep away from the edges of the step and don't put your toes against the step in front.

holy poo poo, I also remember that warning. escalators probably used to eat people all the time back in the day. it was part of normal life.
