Literally had to mute a guy in discord who had us as a captive audience in a raid. Listened politely for the first few minutes but I couldn’t concentrate after a while on the game I was there to play. Dude was obsessed with AI.
cool, love when that’s the go to when thinking of neurodivergent people 😑
doubly so when the meme is “neurodivergent queer”
I’m not sure what you are saying. The man was monologuing about niche subjects for several minutes. Our raid lead couldn’t make calls. It was a worthy mute. I have no opinion about people’s special interests, but that behavior is completely rude. We didn’t consent and it spoiled the game.
just that we’re trying to be happy neurodivergent folks here, and society writ large loves the bring up white autistic men and their shitty behavior as if that’s all there is to neurodivergent people
Gotcha. I was just commenting directly on the topic of the post not trying to over generalize neurodivergent behavior. Like is it a thing people do? Yeah. Is it something everyone does? No. Is it often fun? Yeah. I think my experience was also 1000x worse here because fuck AI let me play my game lol.
100% get ya on that experience & fuck ai 🤘
I’d take a peek at comments in this post, they’re celebrating infodumping with cool and willing participants 😄
edit: i don’t want that construed as negative, trying to focus more on autistic joy :3
Most people don’t appreciate infodumping. Personally i learnt that very quickly and adapted, but i guess you can also just not and alienate huge groups of people
Who wants to hear me talk about parrots?
Other options:
- cameras and how they work
- accounting
- games made by Remedy Entertainment
- Smash Mouth
:D
Now let’s talk about LED displays. Can we talk about LED displays, please, Mac? I’ve been dying to talk about LED displays with you all day, OK? “Charlieplexing” this name keeps coming up over and over again. Every day Charlieplexing is getting sent back to me. Charlieplexing! Charlieplexing! I look in the LED display, and this whole pinset is Charlieplexed! So I say to myself, “I gotta find this protocol! I go to wikipedia and to look up how to connect to the LED display with my goddamn hands! Otherwise, I’m never going to get this LED working and I’m going to keep coming back to this same display.” So I go to the Charlieplexing page and what do I find out, Mac? What do I find out?! There is no Charlieplexing. It’s not even real protocol, okay? So I decide, “Oh shit, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper.” There’s no Charlieplexing? You gotta be kidding me! I got whole boxes full of LED displays! All right. So I start marchin’ my way through the voltages on my multimeter and I tap the contact pins on the board and I say, “Vooltage… vooolltage! I gotta talk to you about Charlieplexing.” And when I test the contact pins what do I find? There’s not a single goddamn line of continuity on that board! There…are…no…Voltages on the board. Mac, half the pins on the chip go straight to earth. This circuit is a goddamn ghost town!
this is beautiful and got a big laugh outta me - no notes hahaha
Ok…
Do you think Jesse’s body will be used as resonance source for the HRAs when she dies? Similarly to how Northmoor is being used as heat source.
Do you think Alan is Sam’s self insert and that he feels haunted by Max Paine just like Alan is haunted by Casey?
Oooooh these are great questions! I am currently at work and will have to give this more attention later - I will edit my comment this evening once I have thought about it!
Don’t spoil resonant tho, I have yet to play it and I don’t known when I’ll be able to
we are in the same boat there!!
I choose parrots. Do you have a favorite species? What are your thoughts on the pet trade and hybrids? There are wild parrots where I live (Los Angeles, mostly Amazons) and I always love hearing them, even though it drives other people crazy. A few weeks ago while I was volunteering at the native plant garden a flock of about 40 or so flew over us, screaming their heads off, it was great!
My favourite are cockatoos since I grew up with one! Grew up with a lesser sulphur-crested (the kind from Indonesia) my fave cockatoo though is the Moluccan just because they are so extremely boisterous - I can relate haha 😅
As for pet trade, I mean, I have very limited knowledge on it, but from what I do know it is awfully exploitative, and with parrots not actually being domesticated, the ethics of the pet trade are dubious at best.
I absolutely love Amazons, I wish we had parrots where I am. The closest thing we have here are various corvids, which also have a place in my heart. :)
Cockatoos are very cool! I can’t imagine having to care for one with how needy and long-lived they are, though. And Amazons have so much personality! Earlier this week I was waiting at the bus stop in some light rain, and a pair of Amazons flew in absolutely screaming, then flew in gleeful, screaming circles about a half dozen times before they landed on a nearby tree and screamed some more. We only get rain like 3 months a year here so I think they were just thrilled about it 😁
Oh yes, I have plenty in common with parrots, namely that I scream when I am happy
this is me preparing to give a community talk on birding at my library, hoping my neurodivergent queer friend group finally coalesces.
That sounds so fun, good luck with the talk!
thanks! hoping it will be!
The only time you can open your speech with “do you wanna see some great tits? Then you’re in the right group!”
My group is small but stubborn. You’ll get there!
So anyway, the lore behind my own Warhamer army…
I like that he found a map of China with the legend “Tibet” so he could point to Tibet. Finding good wall maps took real commitment in those days.
