Gorb

Based Gordon the true proletrainiat. He's the squidward to Thomas's SpongeBob

I too think about it a lot but i have watched it recently

Cos its not thomas at all its actually Gordon. Amd Gordon is mad at the lack of trains in america

Internally i know what i am supposed to do but externally I'm now stunlocked while my brain cycles through 500 dialogue options and then i end up saying something really out of pocket and weirding people out. I don't care so much anymore but it made my 20's unlivable

This was like the first NT social cue i learned and know it very well and have to do it almost daily and I still fuck it up constantly. My brain automatically always wants to answer it literally it takes so much mental overriding to not do that but the "correct" answer always comes out stilted then i forget to ask it back

i treat interactions with NT people as PvP.

Probably the most enlightening thing I've heard. It really is like that isn't it

But this makes sense because i want to know other people's hunger levels to make a decision on what to do about it. The followup question is usually about what kind of food and when and coming to a consensus on what eataging will satisfy our differing hunger levels.

If I'm asking a rando colleague out to lunch my question literally just is. "Pub?" And i get a yay or nay

Completely destroyed my own sanity by memorising a complex set of rules and over analysing everything to the point of mental exhaustion only to still get it wrong or be left in such an ambiguous state I can never know the true answer.

The same button never does the same thing twice.

I remember years ago wondering why interaction wasn't deterministic and asking over and over "what is wrong with me" practically to the brink of suicide. Didn't actually figure out I was autistic until recently. Honestly the only thing that helped was becoming racist to NT's and masking only enough to basic interactions and work related shit. I only have 1 NT friend but he's built different and genuinely tries his best to understand me in a way that he can be accommodating to my needs.

I also had a friend who would confuse me with subtext i never understood knowing it confused me then would call me an idiot for not understanding and i just let them do this to me for years.

I actually never finished advent children because i found it really boring. Which happens to be the opinion people have of this movie which as a kid i would watch on loop without even blinking. I have superior taste is why

That i can understand but on the other hand I'm really really weird. The older offices I've worked in usually would have weird little sections isolated from everything else and I'd just wander around and pick some random dark corner to work in. This was pre covid when it was full time in the office and it was the only source of joy i could get from my work environment. Naturally workers should not be subject to such awful accomodation its very much a me thing.

The office i refer to in this post had an entire floor cordoned off with tape, spray paint over the windows from years of graffiti casting a strange light across the room and i just picked some random dark corner to work from and i just felt happy for some reason.

Another office i worked in had a mice problem, leaked all the time and was generally falling apart but had sections seemingly unvisited by people that I'd find and just exist there. It also had a floor completely abandoned, I never saw anyone working on it and would sit somewhere accompanied only by the buzz of the lights.

The key theme is emptiness. A crappy building filled with people is just a crappy building but when i find the empty places or its nearing shutting down so mostly abandoned thats when the feeling kicks in. I guess it doesn't even need to be an old building just an empty one.

But yeah this is very much just some weird part of my brain that vibrates in these environments i don't actually expect anyone to work in this condition just wondering if anyone is as odd as i am

Vertical tabs and tab groups are mandatory for me, gonna switch at some point. Been waiting for exactly this kind of browser for ages

Same for me I've never actually worked in this style of office yet it feels like i know it well. Maybe because my school had a similar building style maybe, without the cigarette damage ofc.

Or maybe i just like the vibe of tired old nearly abandoned buildings.
