overview for cave

I've noticed that a lot of the negative news posts are all posted by a few users. I usually check their profile, and if I see that is the type of content they almost exclusively post, I block them.

I'm generally pretty informed, like you said, so I don't feel like it's being willfully ignorant. A good amount of it is pretty biased as well. So I don't feel like it's the best way to be informed.

Grammatically correct "Everyone else is walking around," but I feel like it should be "Everyone else ARE walking around," because everyone implies many people. Plural. in c/[email protected]

I'm not an expert here, but I think it's because these words aren't exactly plural. They are terms for groups of things, and in the way used here, they are referring to a singular group, so they are used the same as other singular nouns.

Andy Stott - Posers : Dark and brooding industrial techno (www.youtube.com)

Andy Stott has a sound unlike any artist I've heard before. Really stretching what can be called techno, in my opinion. Most of his work has this very dark and brooding industrial sound to it with a bit of dub thrown in.

Talking while performing another task is quite challenging. Do you feel similarly? (self.autism)

I'm not the best communicator while not distracted to begin with. Often struggling to verbalize a thought or find a word I can't remember for some reason. If I am focused on talking, though, I can usually get by well enough and even be a bit witty, especially if its not face-to-face communication. However, if I'm doing something else, like doing something with my hands at work, and someone tries to talk to me, I stumble over what I'm saying quite a lot. Banter is nearly impossible. I can normally have a bit of back and forth with someone and throw some funny quips in, but in these situations I just end up saying something stupid and often taking things too literally, only to immediately internally regret my choice of words as I properly process the conversation in the next moment.

I think it's because conversation takes a good bit of processing power for me to have flow "naturally". Any sort of distraction diverts some of that processing power and impedes my conversational ability. It can be pretty frustrating since everyone seems to want to talk while working and it just doesn't work for me.

Do any of you share a similar experience? If so, how do you deal with it?
