That's why I play DotA 😎

He didn't spend half of the meme writing about the hours spent on forums trying to get each game to work.

It's some tiktok cringe thing about autism being a quirky and fun trait instead of a challenging mental disorder.

Would someone really do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?

Size isn't everything. While I get what they're trying to say, the 'light utility vehicles' of today are getting 20-30 mpg while the sedan of 40 years ago got like... 5. Fuck cars and all, but this isn't really a good angle.

The comparison to modern travel is a bit off though... The vast, VAST, majority of humanity would never travel further than a few villages over in their entire lifetime. The 'mixing' of cultures isn't nearly as pronounced as you're suggesting. Consider that even medieval "France" was made up of over 6 distinct cultures with often different languages.

As both an extreme unicyclist & rollerblader, unicycles are actually incredibly safe. More safe than a bicycle. The top speed is very slow comparatively, and if you fall... You fall on your feet. Forwards? Feet. Backwards? Feet. Sideways? Feet. If your feet were strapped into the pedals (like rollerblades...) it would be a deathtrap.

I once clicked an ad for syrinscape because it intrigued me. I ended up using it. Loyal customer ever since.

Yeah. I've had exactly 0 issues in the past decade. The only people I tend to get op's complaints from are usually lamenting that they can't use the n-word or hate on marginalized groups anymore and hide behind "it's a joke lmao". Op was too vague to actually say what exactly they mean by sanitization, but it IS eerily similar.

If you read what he talks about further down, you've built out that communication mapping for autistic-nt communication due to your circumstances (manager of autistic people). You can easily understand them. As a husband of an autistic wife though, I would say that it seems like nt people have a dramatically easier time building out that autistic-nt map than autistic people have building it. She still regularly misunderstands me and other people (unless I'm talking to her directly) but I understand her very easily even when she's talking to her autistic friends.

Human-accelerated global warming wouldn't happen via a handful of deer.... But global warming was going to happen even if humans never existed. Global temperatures have waxed and waned since before life existed. The only difference here is that we're pressing on the gas pedal (literally) and accelerating the process. The idea that global temperatures would have never climbed without humans empowers denialists by giving them a strawman to point at.

The dark ages didn't happen. They're a myth perpetuated by protestant historians in the 1900's who were trying to imply that the era between the fall of the Western Roman empire (600s) and the reformation period (1500's) were this awful collapse of society due to the Catholic Church 'straying from gods light'. It's totally bullshit of course and any modern historian (regardless of religion) wouldn't use the term.
