My mother; but, to be fair, she’s a Haitian immigrant who got to witness (and vote for) America’s first ever black president so…you know.

For your average person, I’d have to agree with you (in my experience).

(*methinks, if you wanted to do an exact quote)

Yessssss, Guix covert.

I know it’s largely due to my own fanaticism regarding Guile but I think it’s such a great distro and feels like it never gets mentioned, anywhere.

Not of Greek origin but I hope you’re using “gooses”.

Our cats are either not troublesome enough or not smart enough for it to be a worry (thankfully…).

Never slammed the upvote so quick and so hard.

You understand.

Fair; I think you’re right and agree to disagree.

And of course; I appreciate yours, as well.

They say “for candidates I didn’t think deserved to be the nominee, let alone president” so I suspect they voted for the Democrat, in each election, rather than a third-party (considering their distaste for Democrats).

I’m fine with disagreeing. I just don’t like feeling that it ended with me failing to express my poi t of view properly. If I did explain it correctly and you disagree, that is fine by me

That’s entirely fair; I’m the same way.

I think the major difference (to me) is you’re putting typing words that they write for their own comments (of which you can easily ignore or block) on par with someone going out of their way to push you. It doesn’t really allow for any kind of plurality and sort of puts just annoying you on the level of personally targeting you for annoyance which feels like a major false equivalence. If simply commenting in a public space in the way they desire constitutes bothering you in a specific way, it feels on par with me feeling entitled to annoy people who spell “color” as “colour” just because it bothers me (it doesn’t, actually, but for the sake of example). It feels much more targeted than them targeting you.

That’s awesome! Haha, yeah; I know what you mean. Still, super glad that worked out.

Look, we obviously disagree and I think we’ll continue to do so and I’d prefer to part amicably so I say this less to start a discussion and more just my personal opinion: I feel like, if you explained to an elementary school teacher that your behavior, actually, was different because you’re not going out of your way to bother your classmate, just whenever you bumped into them…such a distinction won’t mean much to them and your teacher’s still going to end up calling your parents because of your behavior.

I just go about my day and the few times I find them i find it funny and bother them a little.

Oh; like an elementary-school bully. Cool.

If we strip all context from the original circumstance, I imagine we could.

But that’s not what happened, is it? You elected to editorialize that the user is doing it to be fake-different and to gain attention, despite them never going out of their way to do so, never once that I’ve seen actually say it has anything to do with poisoning AI (not that it matters, either way), and never responding when people disparage them to their “face”; literally, just typing the way they want to type and not responding to the behavior of others, the literal opposite of seeking attention.

Which any autistic person could tell you is highly relatable: they’re just off doing their own thing and it just infuriates the allistic folk who now have to make fun of them and say shit about them because, “Can’t they tell how annoying they’re being? Can’t they read social circumstances? I mean, I’m all for tolerance but they should really understand the way their behavior inconveniences me and makes me uncomfortable and now I’ve got make it their problem.”

It annoys you; fine. Different strokes; but you didn’t just say it annoys you: you assigned motive and character to this person because you’re so annoyed and any neurodivergent person would recognize that behavior from when it happened to them.

That’s clearly what AstralPath was referring to and you, then, lined up to the plate to participate further.

That’s what I was pointing out; it’s not a generalized argument: it’s a capturing of an explicitly neurodivergent experience and taking it out of that context is, of course, going to make it fall apart.

If you’d like the same functionality but using pride flags to color in the distro logo, check out hyfetch.

I too trashed the malt balls.

Both verbally and literally.

I tend to call them “love” and “my heart” (or just “heart”, for short), a lot; much closer to an actual pet name but I’ll often refer to them as “dove”, “baby pie”, or “love muffin”, as well.

Only flaw there: elephants don’t have scrotums.
