I got diagnosed pretty early compared to most of my friends, and it still got attributed to laziness.
I imagine (heh) representative art is much older, but most of it got destroyed (rotting), but it’s also important to remember that this is getting close to where there were less humans than students in my city’s smallest university, so… idk what to make of that. Representative art strikes me as something that would be invented many times
I’m sure it still happens a bunch, I got a random orbital sander second hand for quite cheap. No one sniped me, but it’s not like its a rare collectible.
Nah, eBay is mostly warehouse vendors now. I find it a little odd if I find an old school second hand item with bids. Also, at least in my country, most of the warehouse vendors offer free shipping. Aliexpress is generally cheaper per item tho
Kinda depends. Cop on duty? Probably not. Politician or business owner? Unless they can directly affect you, annoying banter. If they can directly affect you, based on vibes.
Um, we make fun of our authority figures but also believe the worst of them whatever they say about our national enemies (regarding Australia, national enemies include China, immigrants, the poor etc). There is more standard capitalist deference as well, you’re not going to slag someone who can fire you (to their face). And people are constantly ladder climbing as well, so there’s this sort of jockeying to have good banter while not creating enemies more powerful than you. I hate it. Its hard to navigate and people hide some real barbs behind “its a joke”.
idk how to change culture >.>
Sometimes. I have a hard time when to prioritise my own needs against other people’s, so I wind up vacillating between very meek and belligerent kinda randomly. Especially when it comes to social needs (e.g. if it feels like someone else is dominating a conversation with their topic of interest, and I have something I wanted to say about something 3 minutes ago but the person hasn’t stopped talking, idk what do).
I’ve taken a habit of quickly saying I don’t remember names well in some spaces. It comes up a lot in volunteering and activist spaces, where you might meet a dozen people at the same time and then not again for another month. Everyone has a quick laugh and forgives each other for forgetting their names.
(I feel weird if people refer to me by name, which probably says something about my relationship with myself)
That’s what I say for machine oil on the edge of someone’s nose, yes
Yeah, my first campus cat was very social, she was about 8 weeks old when she started interacting with a cavalcade of uni students coming over and fawning. Very human social cat
My “wiping nose because its dirty” is very different to my “pantomime wiping nose to indicate someone else’s is dirty”. Also, I will say something before for the latter case like “Hey, you have a little bit of…”
I’m envious, get them used to riding in the car at a young age. Makes vet trips easier.
Could also be very hot in the car in some places
Tying shoe laces. One day I could just do it without looking. Before then I couldn’t do it at all, way behind the class by about a year, an embarrassment to my parents.
Job… applications and interviews? The combination of constant rejection, fawning, self aggrandisement, and constantly changing arbitrary standards for all stages just does not gel at all with my combination of rejection sensitivity, slightly different fawning, self deprecation, and bucking against arbitrary social standards etc. I’ve only gotten one job ever from cold calling since I started applying in 2004. Every other time I’ve known someone, and it’s usually a few years between jobs
Yeah, must have crossed wires and the more dominant kids spread it. I have crunchy joints
I remember when I was in primary school it was told that it wasn’t actually the amplified sound of your finger slapping against your palm and cavity formed by other fingers, but pockets of nitrogen in your knuckles. This made it harder for some kids to do it.
And how does this relate to what you wear to a job interview
Perth hailstorm of 2011. Every car was pockmarked for about a decade after, and some lawn chairs fell over. In the grand scheme of things, not that big
