?? Humpleupagus ?? (humpleupagus@eveningzoo.club)'s status on Friday, 18-Oct-2024 08:11:50 JST ?? Humpleupagus ?? I have a friend who's brilliant. He has an advanced degree, writes for a major newspapers, etc., but has no social skills whatsoever.
For example, one time we got to a bar in Berkeley early on a Friday and took the biggest booth. A few hours later, two couples came in and asked us if they could sit at our booth. They offered to pay for drinks for the night. Sure... why not.
At some point, one of the guys starts talking about taking his girlfriend to strip clubs. Girlfriend is at the table too. My friend starts arguing with girlfriend about how she's actually not ok with it. Everyone, including me, is like "chill." I politely remind him that we have free drinks for the night.
He keeps at it and it gets to the point where there's about to be a fist fight. I had to drag him out. I did this many times in college. He did the shit, drunk or not. -

You don't wait a day to make a response it's supposed to be a ability we are born with -

Based Ocean Enjoyer (diceyocean@annihilation.social)'s status on Friday, 18-Oct-2024 08:20:54 JST Based Ocean Enjoyer @Humpleupagus @anemone @arcana @Hyolobrika I have a similar story about traveling to Switzerland and everyone was enjoying the music in car while the guy was saying whole trip he didn't like that type of music through the trip in the alpes beatiful surroundings. He just couldn't let the issue about him not liking the music while we were saying we liked it -

He always sat in front seat so he was incapable of understanding why he couldn't now -

That probably is genuinely an autism thing though, noise sensitivity and all that.
I have noise-cancelling headphones, but they don't always work. -
