I have every NES game. All of them.
I would love to know of these clandestine radio stations
Roughly a description of me lol
Oh fuck then I think we both might be autistic.
Is being autistic just not being an asshole now.
Trains!!!!
I like trains. There should be more rail and more trains.
Agreed. I can't wait for the super line theyre supposed to be building where I live!
I'm not autistic...
Reads post...
Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit.
:3c
These seem like some awfully specific examples....
I sent that to my girlfriend and she asked me why i wrote that down
I'm starting to think autistic people are the normal ones, and everyone else is chronically sick/medicated.
there's a reason autism is still politely demonized, at least in the US. we are hard to govern
Maybe autistic people should be leaders then.
Unfortunately they're just like regular people, so you have good autistic people but also absolute bastards with autism.
You forgot to include Emergency Alert System fans.
The alternate wail of a Federal Signal T1003 will never not be music to my ears.
I once recorded the voiceover for one of those when I was a preteen .. my mom worked at a radio station. Back when it was called the emergency broadcast system. They used it for a couple years after, I would cringe when it came on because I hated hearing my voice...
That makes you a certified cool person in my book :)
i forgot a lot of us
can see past your bullshit
The talkers out there even find that ability "uncanny".
Well, vacuum cleaners mented. Im the kind of a clean autist who are overly interested about vacuum cleaners.
Lemmy has a vacuum cleaner person now?!
The internet is healing 🥰
Yes. But Im more interested in daily use rather than fixing it. Im obsessed with vacuum cleaners since 2020 or smth (or the peak year of my vacuum cleaner autism), I used to be scared of em before for sensory reasons.
This is an invitation to share more, if you'd like to 🙂
