   Just for the record, this isn’t correct, and ignores both varying cultural norms and variations in neurotypicality. Any “always” statement about human communications styles is incomplete. Always.

     @CatDad @anildash If people need help, they’ll ask for help.

     @anildash That thread gave me a good boost to my block list, including the OP. Also, my annoyance with humanity and my struggle to interact like a “normal" person pushed me to the point of just no longer giving a shit if others might need help. Fuck 'em, I'll just stay silent.

     @TeflonTrout @TheSpork @CatDad have you genuinely never encountered other cultures with different norms?
