  Search engines are better at figuring out my misspellings than the android keyboard. Lots of random misspelled words in my search history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Intensity is also important. One symptom of autism for me is compulsive tendencies. The things on the shelf have a correct order and it bothers me if they aren't in that order. Food has a correct order to eat it in and I don't go back and forth between things or mix things together. Various daily tasks have to be done in a certain order.

  I don't have OCD. The difference is that I can still function if these things are done wrong, it causes anxiety and agitation but not beyond a level that I can deal with. Someone with OCD might have the exact same tendencies but not be able to move forward without "fixing" whatever is wrong even if fixing it causes them injury or prevents them from dealing with more important things. Everyone wants to wash their hands sometimes. People without strong compulsions stop before their hands bleed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do we know that the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle is preserved across radius sizes?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shapes don't actually exist. They are abstract concepts that we use to describe and make predictions about the material world. We know that the ratio between the circumference and diameter of a circle are always the same because that's part of how we define a circle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That process is more dangerous because it's less constrictive. Going through the legislative branch limits it to one amendment and is a drawn out public process. At a constitutional convention the representatives can debate and pass anything they want to with the required 3/4 vote without public notice or input. I don't trust our current political system not to add corporate written amendments to the constitution if they have the chance to do so without public review.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you cheat in video games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely. I usually do some gameplay straight to experience the game as intended and add cheats gradually to see how much difference they actually make but cheats are just part of customizing your experience to make the game as enjoyable for you as possible.

  You're younger than me, cheats weren't stigmatized when I was young. Warpzones in SMBros were basically required to call yourself an experienced player and mastering the Konami code was a basic gaming achievement. I've always viewed learning to use cheats and exploits to be one of the things that transitioned someone from a casual player to a gamer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you even old enough to remember number 1?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For a long time I thought that a rotary phone was one of those old wall mounted phones with the horn that you had to crank to make a call because all of those "things people born after 19XX don't recognize" lists had rotary phones on them. I was born after 19XX and basically everyone I knew had one of these so it couldn't be a rotary phone.

  Yeah, number one was Zack Morris's phone. I think that the first mobile phone that I had was close to four. It definitely had the extendable antenna and was a flip phone but not a true flip phone like 5.

  Bill Clinton, president from 92-2000, famously had an affair with white house intern Monica Lewinsky which included her performing oral sex on him in the oval office. The joke is that Lewinsky is under the desk.
