Nobody wanted a gamecube… hence why they were so cheap.

I highly doubt it. I think it skews self-identified autistic… because the self-diagnosis IME gives people more ‘runway’ to be assholes.
I also take this not just form the internet, but from real life social interactions. The biggest assholes always would front-loud their shitty behaviour by being like ‘oh i have this condition’. And that way if you tried to call out, you were the asshole.
And you also notice a the majority of their posting is all about how ‘hard they have it’… etc. Which is also how a lot of non-autistic people frame their lives, as perpetual struggle… they just don’t frame it around autism, they frame it around some other defining ‘flaw’ like lack of money, beauty, childhood, etc.
Plus the legit autistic people I have met… tended to be way nicer than the self diagnosed ones.

remember when every tech person though they could code away human psychology problems and we’d all just be harmonious global society thanks to the internet?

tell that to all the power users/mods here who act just like reddit mods.

thanks for being a teacher. i wanted to be one, but i saw the ‘writing on the wall’ coming with ID politics and I just decided it made no sense to pursue a career where I’d be punished for doing a good job and people would hate me for trying to educate them.
I was in grad school in 2010 and the kind of crazy shit people, at the graduate level, were saying was scary as hell and it’s so sad that… their ‘everything is racist, etc. if i don’t like it’ attitude bled over into the rest of society.
I miss the 2000s when people who did that were considered insane and everyone ignored them. Now they are the norm.

if they did that they wouldn’t use the platform anymore.
- Comment on Why are lemmings so touchy about downvotes? 1 day ago:
you don’t get it because you’re not using the internet as a source of validation/affirmation of yourself and your life. the vast majority of people… are doing that. they are operating on their immediate feelings of upvote = good/feel good, downvote = bad/feel bad
- Comment on Why are lemmings so touchy about downvotes? 1 day ago:
they take it as a person insult, and use it as a person insult.

right, yeah I forgot how a Japanese video game company is somehow responsible for war going on in the middle east.

Jank has charm, but only if you played the original really.

the amount of overly detailed shitting on it is something else.
it will sell 20 million+

for sure. i like to stare into nothing as i think my deep thoughts, and it skeeves people out a lot especially within a 20ft radius.
once you’re 21ft away though, it’s totally cool and uncreepy.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 2 days ago:
Hey man, you interpreted shit that way. Check your own interpretations. The only tone that exists in the written word is the one you create in your head.
But maybe if you were an active educated reader, you’d understand that.
- Comment on Anon questions the epidemic 2 days ago:
because you think it’s the 1950s, your advice is boomer level ‘go to a their office and shake their hand and you will get a job’.
No, that’s not how anything works in 2020s. They will call the cops on you and ask you to leave.
My advice would be to give up and enjoy life because dating and mating is systematically fucked due to social media addiction. And the numbers around it mean you have a < 10% chance of someone who isn’t social media brain-fucked, and all the stats on the issue are insane and unreasonable and that’s why everyone is so unhappy.
Not my job to fix anyone else, nor my job to work like a dog to ‘appeal’ to people who expect the ‘average’ guy to by over 6’ and make 2x median wage. Let them be miserable. I’d rather be alone and invest in myself and be happy, which I have been doing for 8 years and it’s fucking awesome. Image spending your money on shit you enjoy rather than spending it on dating where it goes down a blackhole of someone else’s insatiable greed and self-imposed misery?
But you can’t convince horny young dudes that getting laid will solve all their problems, and more than you can convince single women that a rich handsome guy will solve all theirs. They have to make the choice themselves to be happy now rather than endlessly daydreaming about some ideal future that won’t ever come.

yeah, thanks for ruining my stupid joke.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 2 days ago:
if I make them at home, but i’m white, does that make them automatically non-authentic? do i have to be a 5’2" mexican grandma living in poverty to make them taste extra good?
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 3 days ago:
yeah but the locals wouldn’t know the difference.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 3 days ago:
the assumption that i’m angry makes me angry.
- Comment on Anon questions the epidemic 3 days ago:
have you ever been a 20 year old boy?
do you think any 20 year old boy could conceptualize the difference?
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 3 days ago:
don’t worry. i blocked posts from sh.itjust.works, because your instance is full of insane people. too bad i .world doesn’t allow me to automatically block all the users from there.
i lived in Canada for 3 years. never ceased to amaze me how many assholes I met over there were from quebec/ontario. almost as if… a instance hosted there would be full of the very same type of ‘i know better than you’ type of folks.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 3 days ago:
the reason our education system is so awful is our expectations of children are so low. Americans have bought into this narrative that children are ultra fragile and well that’s what we have made them. it’s not the teacher’s job to raise children, it’s the parents. the teachers job is to teach them.
other countries don’t treat their children this way, and shocker, their children are far more resilient and self-reliant. we teach our children to be helpless, and we end up with helpless adults who never mature. maturity is learning from your mistakes, not feeling forever defined by them.
the original comment was a dumbass being a dumbass and being butt-hurt over his own stupidity. it’s all bullshit anyway, nobody who actually reads don Quixote reads it in two days. it’s a 1000 page dense novel. maybe you OP read Harry Potter 5, which is also 1000 pages, but it is so shallow you can read the whole thing in like 3-5 hours.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 3 days ago:
sounds like a hobby.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 3 days ago:
because if one bad teacher ruined your education, you’re the idiot.
everyone has bad teachers dude. we also have good ones, and mediocre ones.
but this is peak american entitlement. ‘one teacher was mean to me once and i hate school forever and ever’ like… i mean that’s who the american president is… so yeah peak american.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 3 days ago:
Yeah, i read 2 of the books and had the 3rd purchases before I gave up, because it was so stupid and dumb. felt like I was reading teenage fan fiction of the tv show.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 3 days ago:
No they don’t? What are you talking about.
- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 3 days ago:
if you can read the room there isn’t enough steam.

studies tell us obesity is bad for us.
and we keep getting fatter.
