Call me stuck in 2022, but Goncharov fucking slaps.

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

Definitely the fae.

I STEPPED OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT DOOR OF MY OWN HOME ONLY TO FIND THE DEER THAT TRIED TO KICK MY ASS LAST YEAR STANDING RIGHT THERE IN MY FRONT YARD. BOLD AS BRASS.

AM I NOT SAFE ANYWHERE ANYMORE

I didn’t love Pantone’s when it was announced and was all over my feed, but seeing all of these together, it’s a decent palette!

Fellow autistics (and non-autistic friends who understand how we communicate): I was reminded today of a baffling scenario in my past and I need to understand if it was just one individual or if there is a pattern/ social cue I’m missing.

In this instance the person kept saying one thing but expected me to know they meant the exact opposite.

Say, for example, I have a hat. They would talk extensively about how they loved the hat. I was supposed to take that to mean that I should stop wearing the hat.

This was not:

1. Sarcasm. I generally have a good read on sarcasm. If you met my mother, you’d know I’ve been navigating sarcasm pretty much as long as I’ve been cognizant of human speech.

2. Mean-spirited mocking. (Some might consider this sarcasm, I do not.). Again, I am good at discerning tone. Their tone was largely warm and positive.

3. Lying. I guess they were technically lying in that they were making statements that were untrue. But the goal of a lie is for the audience to take the lie as truth, and the goal of this statement would be for me to do the opposite. For example, a mean spirited lie would be to say you like the hat when you don’t, so the person keeps wearing it and makes a fool of themselves. An altruistic lie would be to say you like that hat because while you don’t, you know it makes the hat owner happy. In this scenario, they heaped praise but wanted no more hat.

4. Reverse psychology. This implies that the listener is supposed to believe they like the hat, but that their liking the hat is a reason not to wear it. In this scenario, I was just expected to know they disliked it.

So, to review: someone praises my hat warmly and genuinely, and I am supposed to know that they mean the opposite and stop wearing the hat. Is this just a small dysfunctional group of people or is there a wider pattern of non-autistic people doing this. If it’s the latter, please help me understand it.

seen so many posts that are like “I was so confused when I saw all this posting about some non-existent movie “Goncharov” like it was real” I wasn’t. this happens 5 times a week. my dash is routinely filled to the brim with passionate analysis of absurd-sounding movies and tv shows I have never heard of. I never for a second doubted the existence of a russian mafia movie set in italy with massive numbers of bizarrely named characters and no cohesive understanding of the movie’s themes or plot until I saw a post saying to tag it as unreality. this is tumblr. this happens daily. not one thought crossed my mind except “ha, looks like a few of my mutuals have a new hyperfixation.” this is what tumblr has done to me. you could tell me there’s a new tv show about dolphins with french accents living as royalty in victorian england while secretly starting a cult to renew the worship of the greek gods and the shipping discourse is intense and I would simply think “sounds legit” and keep scrolling

This brings back a lost memory-my mom had a floral blanket and as a kid whenever I slept in my parents’ bed by myself, I would get under the covers and curl up specifically on that blanket and pretend that I was sleeping in a forest where the ground was carpeted with flowers.
