This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

What if I treat life like playing GTA, but I am also the kind of person who follows traffic rules the vast majority of the time while playing GTA, and mostly just likes to do taxi type missions and occasionally race cars and bikes?

Normalish person?

Or... double psychopath, lol?

I feel like not committing crimes in GTA is much more concerning.

It's so hard to drive and obey traffic laws.

i got some bad news

how do you feel about trains?

did your mom really like Tylenol growing up?

Oh, I am well aware I am autistic, I come from a long line of train-obsessed men, grandpa literally had his own model set the size of two queen or king mattresses that he custom made himself, dad was a mechanical dork, and I am a software envineering dork who loves to play or mod or make games into as close to a complex immersive sim as possible.

Don't know why you think that's 'bad news', or has anything to do with Tylenol tho, I guarantee I'm better at any kind of engineering or data modelling/analysis than you, lol.

it’s a joke about being an Acetaminophen American in this current silly political climate not meant as an insult sorry

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Apology accepted, I ... am a bit more on edge than usual about my autism due to the, you know, historical parellels with Nazis literally genociding autistic people, and RFK Jr saying all mentally disorded people should be sent to farm labor camps.

i feel you, can we go back to boring please, I’m not liking my interesting times

Unfortunately you cannot really unbreak an egg.

My advice would be befriend your neighbors and try to form a neighborhood or apartment spanning mutual aid network, we will soon be all we have to count on.
