fedjacketing rust devs on the funny shaped ursine website

yeah that's my job, stop calling things insane

the fundamental problem is that psychology doesn't leave a fossil record and so like 99% of evopsych is simply coming up with a theory to support your beliefs, on the wildass assumption that human thoughts and behavior are primarily genetic in nature rather than cultural.

It aleady has been. Anything, anything publicly posted and available will be harvested by, at a minimum, Google spiders. The only privacy benefits of any site can only be promises that they won't share the information that you don't publicly list.

And even then,.all it takes is the feds raiding a dipshit Kolektiva admin to get that information illegally anyways.

Do not organize serious actions over social media. At most, hold sensitive discussions over private, E2E encrypted chats like Matrix.

I don't have the money to fly but isn't this what airplane mode is for?

I have never paid money for an epub. Use library genesis or even just the pirate bay if it's popular enough.

Henry Kissinger, again. He wakes up in a coffin and has to die again like that.

no scabs allowed on this train

He's aiming at God and is ready to fire.

But it's not something that can - or should - be dropped because some Chapo dickhead thinks it's "cringe." Chapo is always going to find an autistic cringe, we are defined by how we annoy and inconvenience allistics, that is what gets pathologized as arrested development.

Media can and should be criticized, as I keep bringing up, but that isn't what is happening here. The very act of hyperfixation is what is being moralized here, that doing so makes you fail to be a man, that doing so makes you a reactionary (which was exactly what I had called out, because leftists still use autistic caricatures to talk about chuds), that someone here literally cannot connect with someone who is into Family Guy of all things because the idea of being into something in a way that even resembles autism is seen as abberant and creepy.

Now, I don't listen to CTH, but my guess is that this treat and slop meme had a lot more to do with talking about the bad shit people actually do to protect creature comforts at the expense of others like ignoring the pandemic to crowd into theaters. If you're losing that focus to just complain that people act and talk weird, like yeah the people who are always going to be treated as weird are gonna push back on that sort of reaction and call it out for what it is.

Having a special interest is not exclusive to autistics, but it does get pathologized - as you're doing here - which leads to the abusive "cures" a lot of us had to go thorugh as kids. Half of what got Chris-chan harassed and what built up Kiwifarms was their special interest in Sonic, and it's hard to imagine that shit would have ever gotten so bad if people had simply left her the fuck alone. Whether someone is diagnosed or not, that someone might get shit for passing as autistic is a problem for autistics, I'm not going back to us being used as shorthand for people with bad politics.

Again, you're not really defining what you're meaning by "unhealthy" here, which comes across as simply moralizing. What makes what you're arguing any different from a chud complaining about "removed" (edit: the d-word they call everything they don't like)? You're not even actually complaining about these people actually, materially having worse lives for really liking a specific movie or game or whatever. And you can't even draw useful conclusions about people from it, because you're stuck assuming I'm into Marvel or whatever when my special interest is specifically leftist politics. I don't watch movies or play many games, and those I do play I'm overtly critical of and am varied in my tastes like a lot of NT's - but because I am in solidarity with people who have been nearly driven to suicide over mockery for their special interest, I'm going to defend their dignity against the people who supposedly are their comrades.

Haven't even fully unpacked all he gender roles you're putting into this either - you very much are specifying "grown men" here to talk about a supposed failure to become a man, which intersects with the autistic masculine experience in a ton of fucked up ways. It's embarassing and bad for a man to like "childish" things, but I guess it's less cringe for women because it's more OK for them to act "childish?" Are autistic men not men?

I need you to actually point to a materially bad thing, and actually connect it to whatever point you're trying to make, 'cause otherwise it seems like you're trying to take a comedy bit from a podcast this website has historically criticized for having dogshit takes and present it as serious politics without even having to take the effort to criticize the obvious shit like cops being presented as heroic figures or fans excusing Rowling's transphobia. There are actual criticisms of media, like superhero movies becoming this status-quo enforcing thing that has to generate infinite sequels because that is easier for hte purposes of extracting money out of people, that aren't about moralizing the workers that enjoy it for enjoying it.

Unhealthy by what metric, and how are you defining making media your entire existence that somehow doesn't apply to autistics?

There's a growing number because autistic liberation and the ND movement more generally are growing movements, and they challenge normative assumptions about things like interests. If you want to criticize mass media, you'll have to dig deeper than a surface level digust with people being "weird" about it if you genuinley don't want to give people shit for being weird.
