  • Full disclosure, am also on the spectrum so I may have got some things wrong here, but I think I can explain.

    People think it’s funny when other people look like other things, and get frustrated when they themselves look like other things. I think this stems from the fact that once the comparison is made, it is hard to take the person seriously without thinking of the other thing.

    Weird analogy that just came to mind: imagine you book a tour to some World War II museum. You get there, and your groups tour guide is dressed as spongebob, or Spider-Man or something. They’re an excellent tour guide, and know their shit, but you’d have to be thinking to yourself, “why is Spider-Man telling me about some of the worst crimes against humanity?”, and that thought would be kinda funny.

    Now imagine your 20-something year old daughter is bantering with you and teasing you about your old man/ lady style. In the middle of the conversation, you see an ad for Encanto on the TV, and realize that your daughter looks exactly like the cartoonish and silly (not “stupid” silly that’s just how I describe the style) character in the movie. And you say, “why am I getting roasted by Mirabel?”, that’d be pretty funny.

    “Roasting” and “sick burns” are one of those “insulting each other as friends” things NTs are more skilled at doing and understanding than we typically are. It can of course go too far or be taken the wrong way but I don’t think the person in the OP felt genuinely wronged or that the joke was mean spirited.

    I hope I could help! Let me know if you’re still questioning it, and maybe I can try to clarify















  • many kinds of trucks that can drive over many types of terrain

    truck that can handle any kinds of undeveloped forest

    Again, not what I said. A second hand F150 or Tacoma will get you damn near anywhere you want to go that is not heavily forested and is certainly cheaper than a plot of land. You’re trying to pick minute details of my comments and blow them up into the most literal sense of the words yet somehow failing to actually read what I’m saying.

    At this point the conversation is a day old and the chance of actually interesting dialogue coming from it is practically zero, so any further misreadings will have to be done on your own.



  • The first game I every played that had “dailies” was a Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends browser game, that gave you a “chores list” you had to complete before accessing certain activities. You’d get a new list every day, and if you didn’t complete them, you’d have a longer list the next time you played. There was no login or anything, I assume it just worked off of browser cookies.
