      What are these “other country” things you mention? You mean the place where war happens and immigrants come from? I didn’t know they had computers there.

        Can confirm, here in Norway there’s both civil and uncivil war at the moment. The uncivil part is against sweden. The country ran out of hamburgers last week, and the hamburger mines have been sabotaged. The only productive diplomatic channel with sweden has been utilized to agree on forming a donkey-caravan across the atlantic ocean into Mexico where humanitarian efforts will provide us with sombreros and crime for our trip north towards the US border. I am posting this from the last steam powered telefax which still has enough coal to run. Wish me luck.

      Please be sarcasm… Please be sarcasm… Oh I pray to the dark void of the universe that this is sarcasm.

        it absolutely is, take it from an autistic person.

        (autstic people often don’t recognize or can’t properly replicate sarcasm, which is why i often use /s)

          Yeah, but I’ve also met several (Americans, usually) who had takes like these and… Uh… Unfortunately meant it.

          To some extent this can be mitigated by therapy. I’m serious.

              Therapy is about leaving people more “how they are” than before. It’s not about making them behave according to expectations.

                I know very well what therapy is about. Decades of experience. Being an autistic person and working through a life of internalized ableism and discrimination works wonders for recognizing it. Not being able to understand sarcasm or other subtext is no problem for me, it is a problem for my surroundings so they can go to therapy for it. I go to therapy to learn to not accept being ousted for being different.

                  Well, for me it’s only 2 months of experience, being 28.

                  I go to therapy to learn to not accept being ousted for being different.

                  That’s right too.

                  EDIT: I meant - when you are not permanently suppressed by the things which you don’t need, like trying to not be yourself, you may have easier time understanding sarcasm and subtexts too.

      While the mistake is a common one, all countries have actually agreed to jointly follow bird law in these sorts of matters.
