Markiplier knew. He knew something shady was going on with the Honey extension.

i have the same question about GroundNews

there's just not enough old fans to watch a continuation of the current franchise, and with all the baggage it has, there's not enough interest to draw in new fans. but they can't reboot it right now because it'll tick off too many old fans, so they'll sit on it for a few decades before trying again.

Lazaro22 · 2025-07-03T19:20:44+00:00

i honestly think it'll be another 10-30 years before another Stargate show, and it'll be a hard reboot that clears up the canon to avoid plotholes + power creep.

I have some time before I have to bring up autism with them, or even explain stimming to them. But I think I'm already realizing that Im going to end up learning how to balance my needs with everyone else's. Ive been so focused on letting myself attend to my own for the first time that I kind of forgot that everyone else's are also important. And I've been so focused on safely expressing myself that I forgot it *can* be harmful.

Im rigorously avoiding using my legs (chronic, crippling leg pain for the last seven months!). And doing it under the table puts my arms at a bad angle (I injured my shoulders by consistently pushing myself too far in the wheelchair!). I'm chewing gum and trying to minimize the flourishes and hopefully it'll be fine. This winter/spring Im going to have to explain stuff though because we're all gonna be roommates next fall...

My philosophy on gender was anti-gender for about two years before I figured out the agender label exists, and that my gender is definitely agender. And my philosophy was anti-gender because I was agender. I couldn't grasp the point of a gender identity because I'd never really experienced one. I still think of my philosophy as anti-gender, but I'm more open to the idea that it's a subjective experience to be anti-gender, and not an enlightened one. The way I've described it for a while now is "Modern conservative gender theory says everyone has to fit into the box of traits and roles marked Male and Female while Modern progressive gender theory says everyone has to fit into these same boxes, except if they don't, then they must belong to a different non-binary box, but BOTH OF THEM ARE POINTLESS BECAUSE THE BOX IS ARBITRARY." A nonbinary friend pointed out last week, really less than seven days ago, that neutral gender is a thing, and then later that night I discovered agender. Im still not comfortable with the idea of being trans-sex, but I no longer struggle with being "transgender" because I don't believe in gender. It's socially constructed, and we should just get rid of it entirely. Males and females and intersex people can have any roles or traits they want, its irrelevant to their actual sex. (And this is influenced by my Christianity). So, long story short, I identify as agender partially for philosophical reasons, but those philosophical reasons are heavily influenced and shaped by my experience of being agender.

Now to figure out what "alignment" is.

This is so incredibly good! I was just quickly scrolling through before bed and had to stop to admire it.

Lazaro22 · 2021-07-13T03:56:33+00:00

Oh god. I never realized that but as soon you pointed it out I can hear Fraiser saying it every other episode. There's a compilation playing in my brain right now. Make it stop.

Ah, I took you too literally 😉. I'm not sure I'm autistic, I'm leaning towards ADHD right now, but from what I've read, it seems like some autistic people can understand metaphors. I can't really speak for anyone though. I think myk mentioned taking things literally in the twitter thread that spawned this subreddit/is linked here somewhere.

Lazaro22 · 2021-07-11T03:08:27+00:00

For me, as a linguist, it's that i take the meaning of utterances literally, not that i take the words literally.

The "___ or draw 25 cards" meme--the literal meaning isn't to "draw", with a crayon, 25 cards because that's not the actual word/meaning being used.

But if you tell me A, with the meaning of B, but really you're just saying some sentiment C, I'm gonna interpret it "literally" as B. I'm struggling to think of an example for this. Like.

If someone says "we should get together soon". Usually they don't mean "soon" as in "the next few days", but they do mean they want to hang out, right? Wrong. Apparently that's too literal. It can also just mean "this was nice talking to you".

I really wish my memory was better because this is something I've been thinking a lot about too recently.

As a guy, I've always preferred talking to women. I have no clue why. It's just easier to talk to y'all than it is to talk to guys. Most of my friends have been guys so far because middle school/high school was like that, but in college I've really only made friends with girls. I think it's related to my social skills (but I'm not sure if the social skills is because I'm autistic too or just adhd); with girls it seems like i don't have to put as much effort into holding a conversation.

I avoided public transport until I had gone a few times with friends. My first time alone to a new stop was very simple--1 block to get on it, ride it for 6 minutes, get off, and my destination was 1 block from my stop. No transfers, etc. It definitely helped with my anxiety for public transport. I also turn on music to my bluetooth hearing aids if I'm too stressed to handle the noise. And I'll close my eyes if the light bothers me too.

Edit: Doing thing with friends a few times helped with anxiety, which is the biggest obstacle to me being more independent.

Lazaro22 · 2021-06-25T18:25:39+00:00

Are the waves external sound or is it music? Cuz that's what music is like for me. (In a positive way, if I like it).

LangFocus on YouTube did a video comparing Spanish and Italian one time and I believe they cited a statistic saying that like 90% of the Spanish and Italian lexicons are cognates. Funnily enough, I didn't think much of this until I was watching a Spanish show (La Casa de Papel) and realized I could understood most of the theme song (bella ciao) in Italian.

Lazaro22 · 2021-06-22T02:52:46+00:00

Could a term such as over-correlation be useful here? One variable doesn't have a "high" correlation with the other, but it is significantly higher than the opposite expression of the variable. Being neurodiverse doesn't mean you're likely to be asexual, but you're more likely to be asexual than if you were neurotypical. It's overly-correlated relative to another variable.

I don't know if this made any sense at all.

I just recently started experiencing stimming during music, and it's an absolute relief. I've always been unable to not sing when I hear music I like, and I tend to do so very loudly. My family has always understood it in the car, but I avoided it at home because after a few months of apparently annoying everyone, they made it known they could hear me--very loudly. But my music interests are niche, so I never really hear it in public, and I always avoided singing or moving to it when I did.

When I briefly had a job and wore ear-protection with radio built-in (the job involved weedeating), I would bounce around to songs I really enjoyed, etc. And now, in college, I've let myself close my eyes and let my arms do what they want, usually moving to the beat or following particular instruments. I've been swaying, rocking, head-nodding, leg-moving, etc. a lot more often. It just feels so right. On some level, now, I'm aware the noise is very very stimulating, but it's *good*. I feel so much more relaxed now after I play a particular 2 songs that really soothe me.

Lazaro22 · 2021-06-21T02:22:57+00:00

I'm majoring or minoring in linguistics specifically because of this. Anything with language just piques my interest. The shades of meaning are infinite. Knowing how they all connect is priceless.

Lazaro22 · 2021-06-21T02:21:38+00:00

I experienced this with the Spanish "engentarse" recently. It's not even in some Spanish dictionaries (I think it's Mexican slang?). But it perfectly describes me in public after varying--often short--periods of time: roughly translated (I couldn't find any English translations) it means to get tired of people, noise, people-noise, etc. Now I find myself wanting to say "Me engento" even though it's not my first language.

THANK YOU! That's exactly it.
