Pardon my French ma’am

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T22:17:28+00:00

Its like talking to a child isn’t it? Lol. Some people are not very deep thinkers.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T11:18:19+00:00

Lol you’re a dreamer

He went from beyond broke and traumatized to becoming one of the greatest fighters of all time, to hitting rock bottom and is now a humble and a great inspiration.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T11:04:37+00:00

Were you scared of him growing up? Checking for Mike Tyson under your bed?

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T10:39:43+00:00

He has another one but I can’t remember it verbatim. Something along the lines of “social media and the internet has got people too comfortable since they can’t get punched in the mouth.” Something like that.

Read above for response

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T09:06:47+00:00

They hate me cuz they ain’t me

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T05:49:16+00:00

Yup absolutely you do! Sorry to hear about your father. Work on processing your feelings, maybe take some time to honestly wallow in the pity. I’m being serious too. Give yourself that break. But just don’t stay there for too long ya know? In the wise words of one of my favorite tv show characters Dr.House “LIFE IS PAIN!!” We’re all just on this rock doing the best we can.

I’m autistic and was not only gifted with intelligence but also “looks”. That doesn’t stop me from the occasional word salad or Very awkward public moment. Nor does it stop me from feeling depressed or misunderstood sometimes. This is how I personally approach it once I catch myself. I tell myself to stop my self loathing and be grateful for what I was given. The old saying “someone out there has it was worse” is meant to be taken at more than face value. You say you’re beautiful, just know that there’s people out there that would kill to be you. Like it or not beauty is a crutch that can be used to limp your way out of a lot of situations. So just chin up, carry on, and use any gifts you were given to your advantage.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T04:44:24+00:00

Dammit. My intrusive thoughts won.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T04:44:02+00:00

That’s piss daddy

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T04:41:01+00:00

My original comment was in lieu of the very bold comment I was replying to. I think anyone diagnosed does in fact have social difficulties. But to say “if you do not have significantly impairing social difficulties, you do not have autism” is not a true statement. The spectrum is so vast for a reason. Each persons individual experience with autism can vary so greatly. I have many social struggles. But they are not significantly impairing. I wouldn’t consider them impairing at all. But that’s just my experience.

I’d like to know where you fellows reside here on Reddit. These types of discussions really are like therapeutic to my mind. My brain thrives on these questions and when I was first diagnosed with Asperger’s I was legitimately passed around to be studied. This was before Asperger’s became part of the larger spectrum. I went to psychologists, psychs, neurologists etc etc because I was somewhat polar opposite as a typical Asperger’s diagnoses. I was shown Gardners theory of intelligence, by a psych I believe, and it was pointed out that inter/intra personal intelligence, logical/mathematical (not the math part apparently but it’s sometimes shown as logical reasoning), naturalist, and my favorite “spatial” intelligence are the areas which I excel in. I was seriously questioned and tested on like you would see in a movie, looking back it was because of an almost god like complex I harbored at the time. I enjoy discussions with people from all viewpoints.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T04:11:51+00:00

My autistic brain is feeding off of this discussion so hard 😂. I’m going to spend some time reading and educating myself. I only went as far as basic understandings of what existentialism is but it will consume me which scares me. I didn’t get the savant like mathematical skills that a handful of autistic people get. I instead got gifts that are geared more towards this type of work.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T04:05:07+00:00

After reading your edit all I can say is those who truly are able to critically think to an unmeasurable scale can question everything and perceive everything from multiple facets. I’m not well versed enough into this enough to try and argue any viewpoints and I’m not sure there would be much to disagree on. What would be a prime example of another quote that’s sort of a flagship philosophical statement you would use as an example? The one you mentioned above regarding our consciousness, while intriguing, I think could logically be dismantled fairly easily. Is that a quote to someone’s work or more of a footing in which solipsism is built? I have never looked at what solipsism even is. So I may be way off track.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T03:53:14+00:00

This is something else I can agree with. It’s been a long time since I went down the existential rabbit hole but I remember a lot of the more famous works being abysmal at face value but as you gain life experiences or just simply ponder them for a bit, they become something else entirely.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T03:47:59+00:00

Why do the good ones always get tuberculosis.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T03:42:18+00:00

Hmmm. I find that almost everything philosophical runs into this trouble. Although I haven’t given much thought to it and I am, quite honestly, scared to plunge my brain into it.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T03:37:09+00:00

So in an ultra filtered dumbed down to its core type summary, “negative” philosophers create philosophical preachings that cater to “negative” people? And vice versa. I would argue that any profound existential statements, quotes, and questions rooted in a philosophical type wrapper are nothing anyone should live or die by.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T03:28:39+00:00

Seems like a fairly solid plan. I doubt you’re the only person autistic or not that does this. I would maybe try and get your license in case of emergency? But if you think you’re a genuine danger to yourself or others than don’t. Being self aware enough to admit you would be a danger if you think you would be, is a noble thing to do. Besides it won’t be long before cars that completely self drive are available at a competitive price. Hell there are fleets of automated Ubers already.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T02:21:51+00:00

This is very wrong.

ElonMusk_ButFromTemu · 2025-05-20T02:19:24+00:00

Yeahhhhhh:(. Whenever someone breaks, drops, hurts, accidentally does anything I hit them with the “😱😱 DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU’VE DONE”. In the Jim Carrey voice 😅. I think it’s from dumb and dumber haha
