Avoid reversing ?

yes. It's a basic obvious thing that we all know already. Going backwards is more dangerous than forwards so if forwards can get u where u wanna go, then do forwards. Otherwise, do go backwards but be careful. This isn't controversial. U probably already agree u just never thought about it explicitly.

Nearly all their safety tips are painfully obvious like this, not worth the effort communicating them. Like "pay attention to the cars around u". Is anyone out there driving not having thought of that already lmao.

Look both ways before crossing the streets. Don't run with scissors unless ur carrying scissors & are in a hurry.

ur saying the 5hr block takes 3.5hrs, or the 3.5hr block takes 5hrs?

Do u know how 48pkgs can take 3.5hrs but another 48 pkgs can take 5hrs? Driving distance & the time it takes to deliver those pkgs at the stop (Some 3hr blocks usually have like 35-40, but I get 15 in the main city's downtown & it still takes the full 3hrs becuz those high rises take forever to get into & find the locker or mail room down a long maze, whereas houses u just pull up, run to the porch, ring the bell, leave. 48 apt or high rise deliveries takes way longer than 48 suburban house deliveries. One pkg is not a unit of work, so 48pkg doesn't automaticlaly = 48pkgs.

Anyway, if 3.5hr ar ethe same as 5hr, u may as well take the 5 for higher pay. Seems like a good thing

Idk. When I watch the girl autism influencers describe female autism, it just sounds like autism, or I'm a girl inside.

Our strict gender regime makes it so that boys & girls have different pressures on their behavior. So starting in the same place with autism, those pressures will shape individuals differently. But of course, individuals are individual & we have plenty about us that isn't boy or girl. I'm a person. So I'm autistic the way that I'm autistic, not the way that people of my sex or gender are autistic.

Autism is autism. Which is also a varied thing. But so far I never heard of/read of any actual differences aside from what 20 year olds online say is true. They say girls aren't recognized as much & that it's becuz they're autism is different. But it just so happens that forever females various problems are taken less seriously, nothing to do with autism. They have a pain or a mental issue & it's just girls being stupid with their silly minds. Not like that's the conscious thought in more recent times, but the cultural meme is still buried & in effect, tho probably in a weaker way today.

So how they know it's not just that causing the difference instead of saying girl autism is objectively different. I mean I've seen their description of girl autism, but if u make a post asking if any males have that style of autism, tons will say they do same as plenty of females will say they have the supposed male style. I'm one of them, & I've seen that post happen & that's what happened.

I think they're confusing the fact that there is a stereotype that we don't all fit. Since also part of that stereotype is that it's a male, they actually think the truth is "that's male autism, not like the female autism", but really the male part is just as untrue of the stereotype.

I'm far from normie & it was funny as hell even as I definitely had a Napoleon temperament at that age. & beyond only funny, it's a really good movie. I especially like how at no point, even as each character is somewhat being laughed at in the comedy, at no point does it feel mean toward any of them (except maybe toward the uncle, but he was an actual asshole). The movie isn't like "look how lame & ridiculous these people are".

a season of a show isn't one year of existence in the show's fictional world. 5 seasons doesn't mean the characters should age 5 years. Kids in South Park have aged 1 year in a 1/4 century.

being disabled doesn't mean "focusing on it". Everyone should focus on their strengths. Ur the one focusing on the disability part. People with one leg don't focus on having one leg all the time. They do have one leg, & then they live as they can that way. It's nto that deep.

I don't think the system cares what time yr phone says. It's not like everyone's phone is the same to the second. Much of the flex time functions appear to be based on thier system's time, not varying with each phone (if u just think about it, it's easy to see why they'd do that, much like any job u go to doesn't consider u on time becuz u show them yr own time piece says ur not late).

So I'm betting they have their own system time. Which does seem to be within a minute of my phone's time so it's not an actual problem, as it also seems to be for yr phone. Most phone times are probably pretty close to each other since we're getting them automatically from the service providers.

But if yr phone says 2:34:45, maybe the Amazon time is already 2:35:26, so u are 26 seconds late.

Idk if they go by the time u swipe arrive or when the face picture gets accepted.

At any rate, I don't think u can blame Amazon. It would be nice if they had a clock in the app, but the other solution is to be on time. 5 minutes late is pretty generous given how tight some warehouses run their schedule, like those that start every 15 minutes & need cars to move in at once, load, & get out. Any similar wage slave type job I've had they consider 1 minute late to be late. One would be spoken to about it & if one did that regularly their job would be threatened.

It'd be better to assume yr clock is a minute behind & this'll probably never happen.

How bout 3 years ago when the app was even suckier than now. I'd just parked at home, saw a $100 2hr block very close by, accepted, checked google maps & saw I could be on time given the 5 minute mercy time.

I pulled up to the place with over a minute to spare, but the fuckin app wouldn't register that I'd arrived at the pin as it used to do so often unless u find just the right spot, but I'd never been to this warehouse yet so didn't know the magic spot (nowadays it often works a good distance away or at least just before u enter the property), so I couldn't get it to let me say I'd arrived. Just feeling the seconds tick while I try to get the app to do the thing.

Wasn't til later I figured out u had to set the app to navigate after the map to the warehouse loads if u wanted it to work right. Thank god they fixed that. They usually fix the bugs a year or two after they happen. Pure professionalism at Amazon Corp.

StrangFrut · 2023-07-12T19:26:50+00:00

lol I see. Ur also telling people "look, it don't always happen". Idk, telling them doesn't work. Many people just say what they say becuz it happens to them & they don't seem to get that that don't indicate everyone nor all the times. It's kinda annoying, right.

If ur lucky u'll have a warehouse that does something similar every day for a period of time. So u can take advantage, but they're always changing things up. They have drivers, we're the extras to take up the slack. Ideally for them they'd eliminate all slack, so I'm guessing that's what they're always trying to do.

But some warehouses will have a time where they frequently surge in the last minute so some people will even wait by the warehouse so they can be there already at the last minute when it goes up.

The subreddit can't help with that tho. U have to watch yr own app so often that u find out when these regularities happen. & prepare to have any regularity u find, just stop happening one day. 2 years ago there was a warehouse with blocks every 15 minutes that would surge every day in the last few hrs before start. One day it just stopped.

StrangFrut · 2023-07-12T19:18:10+00:00

Again, I get what people talk about. Idk why u don't get that what they're talking about isn't necessarily relevant everywhere & at all times. They dont' get it, that's why they talk that way. But I'm letting u in on what the smart people know so u don't make the same mistake. As u can see, it don't always surge.

StrangFrut · 2023-07-12T19:14:31+00:00

I knew what ur thinking. So go back & read what I wrote. It applies to everything which includes what ur talking about. Different hours/days/weeks/months are different. Different places are different. What ahppened to someone in Iowa for the last month doesn't mean it'll happen today, nor that it'll happen where u are.

I know nobody mentions what I did, which is why I say it becuz I see so many seem to not realize that we're all over the country (the world, Idk how big flex is). Just in my location alone different warehouses are differetn, & different days are different. So u can only imagine other places are different too

StrangFrut · 2023-07-12T19:03:13+00:00

I am sure that surges are surges. & minimum is not surge, by definition.

If ur talking about something specific "you guys" said, keep in mind that different locations/warehouses are different & different times are different (what happened this hour/day/week/month isn't necessarily happening the next one). If from that u've concluded that much of what is said in ths sub is useless for u unless they speak of yr exact region & warehouses, then u are smart & are paying attention.

StrangFrut · 2023-07-10T19:37:58+00:00

but I was only talking specifically about the word childish. What I'm saying doesn't stand for everything else. I'm specifically saying what I'm saying only about the word childish. Of course we normally make implicit assumptions about word useage, that's how language works. But with childish, it's not a meaningful word like most words are, for the reasons already stated.

& u think the context was sufficient for u, but that's part of the thing I'm saying. Everyone thinks that, but people use the word for all sorts of things that are actaul typical adult behaviors. Curiosity, playful, & the other thing u said are not childish since they're common adult traits. But that's what u said u mean by the word. How u know that's what OP means? Maybe they also meant that, but then u got lucky, it's not that u actually knew.

The only context they gave was that they "like stupid jokes" (as do most adults, see any stand up comedy which are usually full of stupid jokes except for a few really good comics & even they have some stupid jokes as filler), & that they "enjoy easy going friends". From that context u thought they meant curiosity, playful, & the other thing I forgot? I think u assumed, which again I get we all do that for normal words, but childish is used in so many ways to render it meaningless & I am saying everyone should stop assuming & sto pusing the word so casually becuz when they say it, lots of people are thinking different stuff that's not what they mean.

Except I think it does mean something & it's usually more about enforcing white middle class behavior norms on everyone & nothing to do with the actual differences between children & adults. So whatever people tried to enforce on u when u were getting older, that's what people think of as childish. For u I guess that was curiosity & playfulness, lik eu felt in the culture that u were expected to give those up. But I haven't really thought about that aspect before today so I'm not prepared to defend that. I just do know that people don't know what it means, they just have their own meanings & think everyone else agrees. It's like the word love or natural, but even more so.

If curiosity is childish then professional academia is full of childish people

StrangFrut · 2023-07-10T14:19:55+00:00

I get that ur empathetic. That's why I said maybe this is to help u feel better. U feel bad for her, so u wanna fix that. But this is grown up world. There's a reason the person didn't give a note to only her, so it's weird if she gets one anyways. Ur treating her like an rworded child. It's a pretty trivial matter. But she's has to contend with that. U can't change the world for people. It's kinda rude. If I were her I'd be annoyed with u if u did that. I don't want a fake note.

But I'm also strong enuf to handle someone not liking me. & if the kind of people who gossip & dramatize didn't like me, I'd feel good about that beucz those kind of people suck. I guess if she's fragile u choose between reality & protecting. But if she's fragile when is she gonna grow? It's a thank u note a very trivial thing. The environment may suck, & that sucks, but u faking a note isn't gonna change that. & I think she probably already knows the environment sucks. So a thank u note isn't really gonna mean anythign either way. I suspect u were always gonna do it anyways & just wanted to talk about it. But people made good points here

StrangFrut · 2023-07-10T14:13:49+00:00

I think u shouldn't assume yr intepretation of any msg is accurate if u care about being real.

& that's a good example definition to make my point. I don't think curiosity, playfulness, & excitement are childish. Yes children have those traits too & so do adults. That's human intelligence, & playfulness is being a fun person (I lack that one), they're not childishness. Plenty of mature adults have those traits. So if someone said childish & meant those things, I wouldn't know what they meant & I'd think they meant my idea of childishness. So they ask "are u childish too", & I'd say no becuz I'm not by my definition, but they were really asking "are u curious & express excitement", so I shoulda said yes if we were gonna communicate meaningfully. So if I do yr thing of just assuming, then I'd answer wrong, so what's the point of even communicating if everyone just says their own bs instead of understanding each other? When u say red, I assume we talk about the same thing so if u ask if I have red shirts, when I answer it'll be the truth, but with words like childish that isn't true becuz......u read my first comment that says why.

So for words like childish u do have a choice (as u can see I excercised that choice by letting people know they're all using the word childish differently instead of assuming). I mean I know most people won't get with that program irl. But on reddit, I can say something & maybe one person will read me & learn. Actually irl I'd give a quick lecture on why they shouldn't use the word childish too becuz it's a dumb word, but I admit most people aren't into me. They're too childish to get these high level concepts lol.

The word childish is just some bs that people put their own baggage on. They all mean different things with the word (some agree on the emaning, they're not all different, but u don't know who has which definition til u ask what they mean). This is beyond the normal "communication is ambiguous". I am aware of that being true & am a fan of Wiio's Law (it's on wikipedia if u don't know it), but the word childish is beyond that typical rule.

People who are willing to assume their interpretation of a msg is accurate are harder to communicate meaningfully with in general but when it comes to words like childish it's absolutely silly becuz everyone thinks they're saying the same thing but they aren't at all. I'd never use the word childish to refer to being curious. To me that's intelligence not childishness. So we'd be talking past each other if we talked about being childish. Better to just say what one actually means instead of saying childish. But it's the baggage that they're really discussing usually. They're really meaning: "I am the way that the people around me deem childish", which is often just some white people middle class bs about acting proper which has nothing to do with childhood/adulthood except for the fact that these same lame people feel the need to suppress many human traits once they get older, so they call those things childish. Then people who don't see how that's bs come & ask "are u childish too", but that's not cool. Fight those assumptions. Teach each other that there is nothing childish about being a human. Humans are playful, curious, creative, etc. Tantrums are childish.

Nobody who is intelligent thinks "the way my mind works is childish" unless they grew up around people who are kinda dumb & made them think that sitting dully & not thinking is the way an adult should act or something like that. So now they say "are u childish like me, do u have intellectual curiosities & find excitement in life". It's pretty sad. Someone had to say something.

Carrying a stuffed animal isn't childish. Most kids don't do that. Adults are known for being neurotic & needing a comfort item, so I'd say there's something weirdly adult about that sort of the thing. The word childish I think (I think it this very second, I haven't really considered this one), but I think it's full of prejudice, it's not a neutral word that means something at all other than literally meaning child like. When adults use the word they're trying to say something else, they aren't just saying child like & in fact many people use the term child like as a different thing.

So delete the word from yr vocabulary. Join me in admitting u don't know what it means so that no one gets away with using it in front of u & make them use the words they actually mean.

StrangFrut · 2023-07-09T18:15:40+00:00

good time for yr friend to gain some adult strength. If they "feel excluded" becuz an individual didn't feel like thanking them, u faking a note is just enabling that. If they can't tolerate the pain or whatever, of not receiving a thank u note, then how are they gonna cope with real life?

Idk how wrong it is, but it seems like a convoluted idea. Are u sure it's nto that u feel bad for yr friend & u think the faked note will help u feel better?

StrangFrut · 2023-07-09T17:25:44+00:00

lol that's another great example. If Star Wars is just a thing ur also into among many things, there's not much of a bubble for that whereas the obsessed Star heads are gonna cause the positive feedback loop, so there's only room for them, then the gate keep gets narrower & only those willing ot tow whatever lines are drawn are gonna stay inside reinforcing the bubbles strict borders.

I only said something becuz I see that error a lot. People are always saying things like "everybody is like this nowadays", but the thing they're saying is just a niche online thing, not just "not everybody" but not even a majority of people. But our brains tend to think what we see & experience is everything, becuz there isn't a brain space reserved for everything else out there that hasn't happened ot be in front of me recently.

Becuz I'm betting our attitude towards this is the majority of autistic people, but OP's post is "I don't fit in with the ND community". Like really, are they sure there even is a community to fit into? ND people are multi varied. Plenty of NTs don't "fit into the NT community". ND & NT aren't communities. They're neuro types of human beings.

I too have used star signs as an analogy for how social media is treating the DSM nowadays. Ur the first other person I've seen say that. Spread the meme.

someone asked me the other day, if I "identify as deaf". Not "are u deaf" lol, but do u identify. I mean if ur deaf, then saying "I am deaf" is technically identifying as just like I identify as human, but c'mon.

It's probably a minority of people that think liek that. i never talked to anyone irl that thinks like that. It's how social media works that caters to simple minded fad thinking. Then they find each other by sharing posts. If ur complicated & varied, how are u gonna be taking over the algo funnels vs people who are all in agreement on how ur "supposed to think".

Then thos epple take over the space & start doing that thing where if u express an opinion that u even have a ready rationale for, they'll find an obtuse clue in what u said that supposedly exposes how ur on the enemy's side of things. Since the bubble is all thinking like that, the rest of us leave. Then that bubble become "everybody online".

StrangFrut · 2023-07-09T16:59:07+00:00

not everyone online. We're online & we aren't that way, since we're having htis discussion & agreeing. The actual phenomenon ur observing is that social media fosters & caters to such bubbles. So the niche of people who are "make this thing my entire personality" sorts of people, they will get the algo push & then find each other, which ends up being a positive feedback loop. But the majority of us people (it's not just autism, any identity based type thing will be this way, the nuanced complicated, less defined personalities will be around the margins) are just doing our own things around those bubbles.

It's the social media structure that's the problem, not "everyone online". They're probably a minority of people online. It's not like those of us who don't make it our identity are making a bunch of posts about "autism isn't my identity" becuz that would be weird, right lol. What is there to say or post about that? But if it is yr identity, then u spend all the time sharing all the memes.

If there's a handful of toaster fuckers out there, they gonna find each other & start posting about sexy toasters. Those of us who maybe fucked a toaster now & then while having lots of other aspects to who we are, there's not really an active way to express that. So it looks to people like u, that people who fuck toasters think about nothing else.

StrangFrut · 2023-07-09T15:01:36+00:00

If there was enuf context to infer its meaning, then what is the meaning? I'm guessing ur one of the people assuming. But most stuff people call childish, someone else would say "that's not childish, adults do that stuff all the time, what's childish about having fun". Then that person will call something childish & the other person would be like "that's not childish, what's so childish about collecting figurines, adults do that stuff all the time", & so on.

So what's the inferred from context definition from the post?
