  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Personally if you tell me you do things because of your astrology bullshit I will hate you much more than if you just say you’re autistic.

You aren't wrong but, I have a feeling you're not among the kind of people that the poster is talking about.

That’s true. You know, I’m not like most people.

I’m

an idiot

Wait how much would you hate us for saying we’re autistic?!

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

Not even a little bit. I have zero issues with autistic people. Astrology people, on the other hand…

The key isn't in managing whether people like your or not, the key is in not wasting time with followups. If you say you're on the spectrum, you've started a conversation, if you say you're into astrology, people who believe in it move on and people who don't have done this before and realized that this is not a conversation they want to have.

Hahahaha so true

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Would you ask any follow up questions about astrology or try to get me to stay?

I might reconsider future invitations
