"and feel offended if I want to concentrate on my duties instead of talking to them" this sounds like projection to me and its hard for me to shake that assessment.. keeping to yourself is generally navigable and most people understand and accept others' social orientation. are you maybe informed by a singular moment that you're dwelling on? as for being 'on the spectrum' that means vastly different things from one point to the next and if it doesn't complicate the advice people are willing to give to you, it could be a crutch you're imbuing with more dependence than is necessary.

yet still not as persuasive as my housecat...

doesn't that make their releasing it as open-source even more of a gift? :P

very simply, i would continue seeking dialogue because we benefit from multiple points of view. if you can't always find fruitful dialogue, analyze your beliefs and attempt to find patterns and underlying explanations that might come out of your personal experience- and steelman your opponents by assuming they have subjective realities that led them to theirs.

we do hear about 'industry plants', however..

this microtransgression by theguardian :P its the gulf of america! you know what you did /s

just saw that clip today.. this guy is exactly what you expect of the dnc- they're signalling they haven't learned a thing. hope democrats are looking forward to jd vance and co.

if you HATE the withholding, i say follow your instinct and stay true to yourself.

this would be right up my alley but my drawing tablet is kaput
