You meet every kind of autist on the fediverse. Making weird things a hill to die on and poorly explaining the position you think is self-evident is a personality type, I guess. These people aren't low IQ either, they're just weird...

@SuperSnekFriend It's not you. It's the GNU guy. It's like having another Jeff Cliff (PBUH), but unlike Jeff Cliff I haven't seen him talk about anything normal yet.

@Frondeur >brain refusing on some topics to understand word-concept fallacies or etymological fallacies...
Yeah I don't mean actual autism either. It's internet autism, but amplified. Like an AI unable to understand or follow metaphors or anything outside their framework. It's always talking past your argument instead of to it.

@BowsacNoodle been thinking about this a lot lately...classical extreme autism (a term i just made up on the spot afaik) was characterized by language learning problems and a lack of a desire to socialize...im trying to understand what's that first step towards autism...I think I have it boiled down to the brain refusing on some topics to understand word-concept fallacies or etymological fallacies...

He's quite the character. Fedi wouldn't be the same without him.

@SuperSnekFriend I like Jeff Cliff. Sometimes he makes me mad, but I can talk with him. He's a neat guy.

@Frondeur Take him for a drink? Sometimes people need to hear from peers that they're a bit too tight. This has backfired on me before where the guy became a butthole towards me and a reading sycophant climber after this. I don't regret it though; it was what he needed to hear man to man.

I think he blocked me forever ago over my view on the jabs.

@djsumdog @SuperSnekFriend Just think about how much worse that block would've felt if you hadn't taken the jab.

@sj_zero @djsumdog @SuperSnekFriend I have some lewd bots and nuisance posters on my lists. The kind that show up in threads to be a 💩 head and not do anything productive or contribute to conversation .

I like Jeff, but I'm pretty sure he muted me because he doesn't like my views on a lot of things.
Thankfully, my block list and mute list are still empty.

Not explaining myself properly, that's me. This happened to me on more than one job interview:
- You didn't mention or explain x
- I thought x was obvious without saying to anybody who's spent at least a couple years in this profession.

@BroDrillard Sometimes they look at it as a soft skill that you can talk about it as an "elevator talk" way. I'd rather just have competence than somebody who's a good talker and nothing else.
