  • I get that, I spent the better part of an hour trying to parse a badly written bumper sticker about their mullet being smarter than your honor role student, because my brain hyper-focused and combined with my literalism I was sure I was missing some key context that made it “funny”. So yeah, the written word without enough context can be hard to understand for neurodivergent individuals.


  • Greetings fellow millennial, I got the one two punch of ADHD and Autism so I get the confusion when you realize that your brain is the odd one out and not everyone analyses and mimics others body language and social cues to figure out the “right answer” to any given conversation.


  • I don’t have too major of a collection as far as quality, but I have been holding on to all my old Nintendo games and consoles since I first got them back with the OG game boy and NES, and I occasionally expand it when I find other old games I like when I have the money and can find them out in the wild. I have most of the consoles except for the more obscure old handhelds. (Still working on getting an original game boy advance to fill out the collection, but they are fairly expensive considering the costs of the later SP variant, which I have floating around.






  • I agree with you, context for the act is important as is the nature of who is doing the act. In this specific context an Iraqi man burning his holy book as a sign of protest against a corrupt theocracy is perfectly acceptable. However if a white christen who is not from that region were to burn another religion’s sacred text for example, then this could easily be considered a hate crime as they have no ties to that faith and would, rightly so be seen as an act of hate.

    Sorry if I rambled a bit.
