- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@ParthKolekar i actually think you're wrong about this, ftr... social behavior should adapt to local norms and tpot norms are biased towards accuracy
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · replymore arguments against: - I don't "stim", dislike stuff like fidget spinners - I have zero interest / memory for memorizing factual details or numbers- like, less than normies even
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@cauchyfriend idk, ig I'd be more willing to try treatments shown to have efficacy for autism? also it comes up so often Id like to have an official answer rather than wondering
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@losingcontrol23 yeah the thing is I'm oversensitive, I don't want too much sensory intensity and I dislike most of the examples... it's more novelty and variety, curiosity driven
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@gpurcell intuitively! but I can articulate it more than the average person n feel less attached to blind enforcement of current social norms? but maybe this is just from a lot of historical / multicultural reading as a child
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@lokkju which of these do you think I have? it's hard to tell what's "normal" from the inside
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · replyarguments against: - have felt like I mostly understand social interactions and feel empathy since childhood; was never bullied or felt excluded - don't like routine, am novelty seeking to an extreme
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@garface1 I don't have this goal lmao! do you think I need more empathy?
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · replyarguments for: - sensory oversensitivity, even stronger from childhood- lights too bright, speakers too loud, smells too strong, scratchy rags & fabrics - spending a lot of time alone by preference - nerdy interests in coding & building, ecology, architecture, horses...
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply*are ugh
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · posthah ok I'm gonna talk to my psychiatrist about autism diagnosis next appt- what add all the things I should bring up (for/against)? I want to have it settled one way or the other and not wonder if I'd remembered to say something different...

- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@bamboo_master_m @moultano I still think you need toilets & hand washing, adding a shower is not that much extra cost... and really, the cheapest option given density / land prices / heating costs is SROs not cabins
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@KatjaGrace ugly datacenters & mines & high voltage lines & humming substations
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@jeremymstamper special interest is probably architecture & floor plans & maps 🤔

- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@bamboo_master_m @moultano mandatory indoor plumbing is a very important public health measure though!!! we've finally got the Potomac back to swimmable levels of bacteria except after bad storms... I don't support letting ppl destroy the commons & spread disease
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@megs_io 😳 oh... lol increasing my p(autism) for myself... In 4th grade I had this book about designing horse farms and spent months sketching maps...

- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@QuetzalThoughts the lovely heavy cool feeling in the hand and the movement of a hanging scale when a weight is added- bobbing back and forth, slower and slower
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@LizzyStarrrdust @crumbraven_ cop, I've had them offer me rides home several times when I was walking late at night so I expect they would in this case too
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@jachaseyoung not an interest, personally... so it's a relief to not be expected to feign polite interest in it here
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@BasedBeffJezos take care of yourself & make sure you don't burn out from lack of sleep!!! 🫶

- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · replyI'll get to them with time, and fair warning- this is actually how I mentally file ppl, not about the symbolic associations but the colors / textures / shapes & movement
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@HTTPSNoWhere and sigh I wish I'd been able to find a better picture- the intricate lattice wood shutters backlit by sun is what's in my mind
- Aug 22, 2023Twitter · reply@HTTPSNoWhere lol yeah natural amber, I love the warm color & texture... but also tbh the Jurassic Park association for some reason

- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · postare you curious what colors / textures / shapes / etc I mentally associate with your account? reply w something you associate w me and I'll tell you! limited to ppl I follow because it takes time to have an impression worth sharing 🫶
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@deepfates lmao, you *just* arrived in SF...

- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@groudon466 @RokoMijic lol you must be new around here... I endorse immigration but Roko has his HBD reasons for hating it. imo when ppl are freed to labor less & compensated for the labor of raising children they'll be willing to have more of them
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@yacineMTB lol I've been living happily for so long in my bubble of "hide notifications from ppl I don't follow" ... the monetization thing has me wondering if I should care / try for more views, but it's so cozy here!!!
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@a_musingcat fuck the money marry the game kill the haters 🫡
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@a_real_society yay! win! enjoy it!
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @chaosprime also... i used to be more idealistic & upset abt how the world falls short... these days I'm more pragmatic & happy w relative improvement from status quo, it's a healthier mindset to surrender what no one person can fix & focus on what I can do / hope for
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @chaosprime yes but it's my, like religious? belief that they're also damaged & their highest self doesn't endorse the sadistic joy, but that they only feel safe when they've got someone beneath them to redirect violence towards & like a caged animal when not.. bec I believe they have a higher self that's further harmed by harming others, I…
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@JustAnkurBagchi imo lack of labor frees us to do what we want which will likely include laboring on projects w personal meaning, including more children?
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@DeeperThrill @foomagemindset fr tho it's a delicate balance of hyped up (caffeine / deadlines) & relaxed (hubris / rituals / alcohol)
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@foomagemindset @DeeperThrill lol you didn't reach the Ballmer Peak
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@chaosprime 😩 affirmative freedoms & "we live in a society" second order effects & genetic inequality & idk what w children's rights bec shitty childhood -> adults who aren't as free to be happy bec they have to reprogram from trauma & learn the developmental lessons they missed...
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@a_real_society 🤷♀️ it's mostly subconscious, why ppl say yes vs no, and it can be super easy & effortless when you meet a good match at a good moment... I know guys would understand a straightforward incremental improvement plan to earn a gf but lol it doesn't work like that!
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @moultano lol we still have loud angry local politics about every decision- YIMBY upzoning (to allow a few 800K condos & 1.2M townhomes to mix w the 2.5M SFHs)... the residential parking pass program paying for itself w fees... anger abt the parks & rec registration & pickleball courts
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @moultano ofc downsides showed up during covid- preemptive cancellation of any new curriculum during remote schooling in the name of "equity", teachers first in line for vaxx but the teachers union decided not to resume in person schooling for the rest of the year anyway, promised summer school to catch up but couldn't recruit enough teachers…
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @moultano luckily I live in a rich county full of technocrats who feel satisfaction from this state of affairs vs other options
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@chaosprime also lol I did buy the land, working on building the dream home... but tbh it's still in a pretty social location... good community is important!
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@chaosprime crowd is not madding but therapeutic 😎
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@RokoMijic @orthonormalist she could have phrased it more clearly but she has a point- "I want you to want to do the dishes" = I want you to care about contributing to the household/ I want you to care about my well-being & our relationship
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @chaosprime 😈 I'm nowhere near ready to give up on longevity tech... you know I'm a quaker- no afterlife, we're here to create heaven out of this life
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @chaosprime 🫶 yeah, sometimes you've done enough thinking, just exist in the least painful way, take care of yourself till your feelings resolve on their own
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @chaosprime ig I believe in free will / agency- the ability (in varying degrees) to look at what IS and imagine something else as what Could Be and take action to move the future in that direction
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @chaosprime 😑 you know I disagree w a lot of this framing... bad shit happens to ppl, we're not guaranteed happiness, but it's also our choice to try to heal vs give up- and I don't want you to give up 🫶
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @chaosprime 😢 I wish it didn't happen but yeah- it IS damaging whether or not you want to argue that the word "abuse" requires social context that says otherwise
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @chaosprime w 8 billion ppl we are most of us constrained by needing to coexist & specialize & trade... but imo the blame & shame & "slave from from birth" is cope to justify intergenerational trauma of abusive parents & the long shadow it casts on their victim's life
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@AlmostMedia @gptbrooke we spent an entire evening bickering about how AI will or won't kill or enslave us, it was great fun tbh
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@HephaistosF @chaosprime what ref and how are you apologizing? this seems like a flawed analogy
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · quoteso true, and "prompt the LLM to tell you how to prompt for a solution" only goes so far w mediocre results https://x.com/emollick/status/1693262578615496919
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@ryanscottborman @nomanautomata @Noahpinion tbf if you swapped netflix for rock climbing you might have about even attractiveness with no additional social skills? active hobbies are more attractive than passive media consumption for any gender
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@AlmostMedia @gptbrooke 🤣 in that case. as an e/acc my most embarrassing is probably going on a date w Roko of basilisk fame
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · reply@a_real_society I think it feels better to ask early & often vs. be selective & build it up and feel awful when maybe the rejection isn't about you but about her life & what she's available for guys who do well w women have open relaxed vibes of just *liking* women & welcoming their presence
- Aug 21, 2023Twitter · quoteI have already filled out like 3 different surveys & feedback forms for this project!!! Glad it is happening but the federally mandated process is super tedious!!! https://x.com/ArlingtonDES/status/1693757377940431332
