Every new year’s resolution of his: “reset to default settings”.

Why do I doubt that "neurotypical" label

[–] [email protected] 114 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, if this is built through the social process of "Ha dude, this would be so cool, tell me, what should I add?" I think it's perfectly plausible.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

The order he put it in certainly seems to hint at that process in action

found the factory settings guy

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Assuming all of his traits listed are "default" is part of the problem

(I'm sorry, I know it's a joke and I do think it's quite funny but I feel like I have to bring this up as a disclaimer)

How do I mass factory reboot the entire planet? Asking for an alien friend from outer space

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago

Seeing it like this does make the whole thing seem weirder

[–] disgruntledbroad 11 points 9 months ago

As a queer person, for me at least I find the 'default' language pretty funny. I think it could just as easily be seen as acknowledgement of privilege as the other way around

I was neurodivergent all this time. It's just people expressed it as there's something odd about that little boy.

The thing is, the more you explore all those microlabels, the more you find things that you're into, which wouldn’t have been explored if you're socially obligated to conform to a standard vanilla norm. Dark identity. (As in dark matter, not who the man is in the dark though there sometimes is that.)

For me, the gateway was major depression. I did a lot of deep diving to understand why I so readily despair even when outlooks appeared to be okay (though on national and global levels there are good justifications for dispair, but that's a different rant) In finding out why I'm so conditioned to Tragic Vampire Romance Island, I find out all my microidentities and kinks along the way.

Believe what is real? The interaction in the screen shot or the profile of the person in the screenshot?

I don't have a reason to doubt the interaction being genuine, and the profile screenshot also seems like a genuine profile from someone being funny.

And tbh, this seems like the nicest possible way to make fun of Tumblr culture

[–] [email protected] 40 points 9 months ago

It feels like they are just having fun.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (1 children)

WTF is there to be antagonistic about?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

I literally have no fucking clue. But I don't like the tone of your syntax; you better watch how you type when commenting, my dude

[–] Sidhean 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sure, all digital records are falsifiable. But everything here seems.. normal. I'm not sure what you mean? It's not like they're claiming their school made them shit in a sandbox or anything. Not trying to be antagonistic, I just don't see anything here that screams "this is an outright lie" or even "this is implausible"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Even if it was an outright lie. Why would that make you antagonistic?

We're supposed to believe some tumblers have their Bio as the rarest creature in existence. But it's wrong to believe someone wanted to poke fun at this shit:

"Quantum Sexual | Heterochromia (Red, Blue, Green) | Multiple Personality Disorder | Paris Syndrome | Ferngully Syndrome | OCD | Reeboks w/ straps | Boots w/ furs | WereBecklespinax"

You have clearly never been on Tumblr

[–] Mr_Blott 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You didn't need to add the "American" bit, mate, it was already pretty obvious. Though I'm surprised it didn't say "1/4 Irish, 1/5 Scottish, and 2% Cherokee" 🤮😂

[–] Dasnap 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, if they're going default Mii it would be '100% British 🇬🇧'

[–] superduperenigma 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

White | Anglo-Saxon | Protestant

[–] Dasnap 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Christened | Nuclear family upbringing
