Saw *another* person today do the whole "well ackshually all this shit with Venezuela and Greenland is obviously just a distraction from the Epstein Files" thing and legitimately can't believe the level of applying-movie-logic-to-real-life-politics brain that it takes to publically say that and feel like you're saying something insightful or intelligent.

The thing i find most repugnant about it is that, given this assertion, the only logical conclusion to draw is that discussing or caring about the fact that the US recently bombed and kidnapped the president of another country makes you some kind of rube who's falling for The Distraction. Going on the internet and implicitly framing the fact that other people care about US imperialist aggression over the stupid pedo scandal slapfight as Falling For The Distraction Like Dumb Sheeple takes a uniquely american form of thinking you're the main character.

i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on "outward" signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don't know how to explain it but "do you make eye contact with other people" feels like a much less relevant question than "how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?"

while i'm here, the other one that always pisses me off is "do you interpret idioms literally, for example 'bull in a china shop'?"

well, no, obviously. i know what "bull in a china shop" means because that is a popular phrase with a clearly defined meaning. and if i hadn't heard it before, then i would still not interpret it literally, because it has the cadence of an idiom and i would probably be able to work out from context what it meant. what is the point of this question

third and final complaint: "are you good at noticing subtext?"

i feel like the problem with this question is best illustrated by a conversation i had with a friend a while back, where i said something like, "i feel very safe with you because you don't do subtle hints and you are always very straight-up with me about what you are thinking and feeling."

and he laid a hand on my shoulder and was like, look dude i'm gonna be straight up here. i am subtle with you constantly and you simply do not notice <3
