I like relatable in a funny way.

It is more about the shift in how the humor is presented than it going out of date. For example, therr are several comics that are just animations of someone having social anxiety with zero punch line. That’s fine if that is what they are going for, but a well done comic being presented as a four panel set up and punchline seems like there should be some kind of humor to it and not just setup and I have social anxiety. There could be some subversion or twist or anything that makes it clever and not just I have social anxiety as the entire thing over and over again.

Yes, people with socisl anxiety should have a comic that appeals to them, but it is an example of leaving out the humor and just being relatable. Heck, if the characters did something over the top in the final panel instead of just stating their emotions it could be funny and not just an illustrated thing that happened.

Are you saying the company wanted results saying people didn’t understand 1/3 is more than 1/4?

That would be stupid.

He said he would possibly vote democrat if they didn’t stop lying about the data center. It was an empty threat.

He hasn’t changed or grown.

All for slop.

They are receptive to constructive criticism.

They follow through on what they say, such as offering to help out and following through with plans.

They are supportive of positive things.

They acknowledge any self destructive things you might be doing and offer support in addressing them.

None of these need to be 100% of the time because things come up and sometimes they can’t help you with every self destructive thing, but doing these things in general is a bunch of green flags.

I called her my kiddo, you used child because you assumed an age. You assume a lot of shit that isn’t accurate and have painted a completely different situation than what I wrote.

It will take a few more years for her to catch up with everyone else but we are working on it. Lack of success doesn’t indicate lack of effort or understanding.

You are clearly a terrible person.

She is autistic you judgemental fuck.

I do like that posters who seem ro manually post filter the stuff from other sites which in my opinion increases the average quality of posts. Reddit is a tidal wave with a few gems. The fediverse is mostly the gems, like using cheesecloth in a strainer.

The firm eventually conducted a focus group to discover the truth: participants were concerned about the price of the burger. “Why should we pay the same amount for a third of a pound of meat as we do for a quarter-pound of meat?” they asked.

It turns out the majority of participants incorrectly believed one-third of a pound was actually smaller than a quarter of a pound.

They didn’t almost go bankrupt, but yes they did have a focus group where the majority of people did not understand fractions.

He’s finally leaning left!

Yes.

Once seen as a groundbreaking leader in sustainability and a quirky futurist, Musk—

I had completely forgotten that his bajillion camera surveillance computers pretending to be cars was initially hailed as eco friendly.

You can tell because of the way it is.

“Even if it’s a Democrat.”

Oh, so he voted for the people lying and screwing him over.

40k is a story of humanity colonizing the stars, committing genocide, and then acting like a victim because aliens fought back and their oppressive genetic overlords turned on each other.

The obvious satire clearly went over your head.

She is 17, not a young child. We have been going over this for over a decade and it really comes down to her refusing to acknowledge things are not always exactly literal. We have gone over this with a therapist for over 5 years as well, because she gets so worked up about it. I have repeatedly shown her what clean means in various examples but she keeps falling back to specific nit picking every time.

Note thst I am not referring to some kind of spotless perfection. Just not having trash around and things tidy enough to vacuum and dust and other basic cleaning practices.

Guess I should have given every single detail so you wouldn’t assume so much to twist it into some kind of blame game for a child not listening to their parent.

Time has no bearing on friendship for me, we can have gaps for years and still pick up where we left off. There are only a couple things that can kill a friendship for me.

Them directly saying they don’t want to be friends or don’t like hanging out with me. Happened once or maybe twice, and it was for the best.

I find out they are a terrible person. Lost a few to maga or internet manly man bullshit.

I try not to overthink friendships because people are complicated and the most important thing is getting together sometimes and being supportive of each other.

They say that because the listener is so focused on exactly what is said, likely adding non-relevant context or missing context, and dragging out things instead of understanding the message that is being conveyed.

For example, when I say pick up trash to mean things to throw away and the kiddo focuses on whether she considers something that should be thrown away to be trash she is focused on what I am saying but not what I am telling her. “It isn’t trash, I just don’t need it.” Then just throw it away!
