  • Can you block me then since you want to be polite?

    I know that’s a big ask because you can’t even stop replying. But this is not the first time youve responded to me talking to someone else to tell me I’m not polite. Then you immediately say you don’t want to “communicate” but never stop replying.

    Which is pretty obviously trolling. I had you blocked for a while, so I don’t know how much you’ve been doing this. But the tab signed me out and the first comment was civil enough I took you off to reply.

    So I think the best solution is we just block each other, right? You want to say you’re being polite, then do the polite thing and just ignore me instead of rehashing this again at some later date.

    Nothing about my comments will change, so if you don’t like them. Take the very easy step to never see them again.

    Unless your trolling, which is what saying “I don’t want to discuss me insulting you” and then continuing to reply over and over. Regardless, hopefully I don’t fuck up and think you’re worth takng off again.


  • So you replied in the first place because you disliked my tone, but you were comfortable insulting me in your reply…

    And when my tone didn’t change after you insulted me…

    You replied again to insult me again and say you didn’t want to talk to me?

    There is absolutely no logic in what you’re doing.

    At any step you could have just not replied with insults, and none of this would be happening.

    Why don’t you just block me? Because replying to police tone while simultaneously insulting someone isn’t going to be effective for me, and most likely not anyone else.

    Seriously, in general saying:

    I can’t engage further in this conversation

    Is never ever ever going to be as effective at ending a conversation than deleting the reply instead of hitting “reply” and posting it

    On some level you have to understand that, right?


  • but do you have autism or are you a mental health professional versed in or specialized in autism?

    While there’s no way that you could have known that I have a degree in psychology and for years worked with special needs populations ranging from “passable” to “I was changing grown adults diapers”…

    You literally just called me out for not having social graces and hyper fixating on a narrow aspect of a comment…

    Autism is a spectrum, literally all of us are on it. That’s literally what a spectrum is in a psychological context. Everyone is “on the spectrum” that’s what makes it a spectrum.

    I don’t feel that they fully capture and measure intelligence in autistic individuals

    So…

    You agree with me? Because I literally just said that…

    But no test can “fully” measure anyone intelligence. It’s always going to be approximation that works for a majority of people.

    I sat thru like 5 hours for a Wechsler, just to be told my overall wasn’t reliable because I was statistically insignificant. It was still valuable data because my lowest section scores were still quantifiable. But there’s no reason to have the basic test be able to fully measure everyone. If I cared enough I could take a more in depth test to find out.

    But why the fuck didn’t you ask questions instead of all those assumptions you just made?

    Why even reply to me like you’re going to trust what I say, when you could have looked up this stuff online waaaaaaay before I took the time to reply?



  • dont associate autism with intellectual differences

    Coming from a good place, but you don’t know what you’re talking about

    There are absolutely differences, they just tend to even out on an overall IQ score. There’s a sleight positive correlation even, but that’s likely due to emotional intelligence not being measured on an IQ test and the very low ends of the IQ range may not ever get tested for autism.

    But are you honestly telling people that autism isn’t correlated to better pattern recognition or anything else?

    Like, there’s a myriad of ways you’re wrong here, but to insist that there are zero differences is just unbelievable. You can’t honestly believe that, do you?







  • I think you’re oversimplifying when the social consequences for being seen as weak or effeminate have (even in recent history) been so harsh for men and boys

    I grew up on a farm and worked construction, played sports thru college, then joined the military. Raised by and around other men who make my life seem like a cakewalk.

    Every stereotypically “manly” group I’ve been apart of, dudes are all emotionally open because they’re secure in their masculinity.

    When boys/men think they’re acting “tough” by suppressing their emotions, they’re not copying men who are actually tough, they’re copying other people’s false bravado.

    That’s the entire point of what I’m saying.

    All the posturing only impresses other people that are posturing.

    the abusive structure

    And literally anyone can stop buying into it at anytime…

    If they don’t, they’re perpetrating it.

    It’s the easiest thing in the world to stop caring what douchebags think is “manly” and that’s literally all it takes to fix this


  • I mean, we’re talking about the population susceptible to it in the first place.

    All they have to do is stop being weird about it, but they’ll never do it because they’re obsessed with not seeming weird.

    It’s fucking insane that you think it’s on the rest of society to spend decades “conditioning” them to quit it with the toxic masculinity. When all they have to do, is stop doing what isn’t working and no one is impressed by.

    That’s the most ironic thing about it. All they have to do is stop pretending they’re tough, but they’re not tough enough to do it.








  • So it’s my fault other people were wrong before, and because they were wrong, that can never be true?

    Like, Martin has a decade long track record running DFL in Minnesota, you don’t need to take anyone’s word. And he’s been running the party for 9 months now…

    Have you not looked into any of that?

    Or is the difficulty putting it together? Because from what you just said this is a flaw of critical thinking, and that’s not something anyone can fix in a couple of social media comments.

    But “logic” is an actual field of study, you can take classes in college on it. And there are free resources as well. It would be best for you to start there, because while politics is important, your flawed critical thinking is most likely negatively effecting large portions of your life at every turn.
