I’ll read through those threads sometime. I don’t think I’ll be commenting in that instance though. Maybe I’ll look around for a community that clicks better to interact with. I don’t really have questions off the top of my head, sorry. I don’t know what I don’t know.

“People I don’t agree with are lying in bad faith.”

I have no interest in talking to you.

Ok.

This is my exact same experience. I ask for someone to elaborate on their stance, get told (not accused, told) I’m trolling. Ask for explanation/definition of a concept, get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory. Ask for civility, get told I deserve abuse for “endorsing genocide”. (By the way, I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I’m a genocide supporter I guess because I won’t flush my vote third party this November.)

Hexbear is a community that expects you to conform. Every time there is a post like this, someone comes out of the woodwork and says “They’re nice people if you talk like them and agree with them on everything.” It’s cool that you’re not getting abused, but abuse is coming from that space, whether or not it is happening to you.

It’s a shame because I would like to hear the nuances of their viewpoints, but I can never get them to tell me what they are. Always complaining that nobody tries to understand, but dogpiling on anyone that asks questions. Then they pull up your report history and tell you “It’s just a little dunking bro, stop being a snowflake” for not putting up with it.

Users of Hexbear, if you’re reading these words, do better. Nobody is going to sympathize with your cause if you antagonize outsiders that want to learn more.

I don’t post too much Star Trek but it felt particularly relevant ha.

Dax: Steamed azna would put years on your life.

Sisko: Dax, I don’t want years on my life, if I can only eat steamed azna.

Deep Space 9

Well first I divide the word by Eminem.

I’ll give it a shot, thank you!

I’d suggest starting with a blanket of single crochets to get comfortable with the hook

Do you have a guide to recommend for this? How big of a blanket? What is a “single crochet”?

A relative of mine is a big fan of The Woobles, they got me a panda kit that I really have to start on. But the how-to videos go over every step in detail and are pretty easy to understand.

We also have the right to fire you for any reason

And they really do mean any. They just won’t always say the real reason out loud.

Not sure those are one-to-one. I remember just about every local news station doing the Harlem Shake, but as far as I can tell not one has reenacted the coffin dance (but I’d love to be proven wrong).

Grab your dick and double click!

Well I think you’re a million bucks.

They waited 6 months to drop this knowledge bomb.

Legend of Zelda?

Waited for time to pass and dust to settle to respond.

I appreciate this.

Understandably, I think people in mental health-focused communities are sensitive to feeling like their experience is being invalidated. Consequentially, sometimes i feel as though it is hard to speak a different opinion for fear of being labeled as someone who invalidates.

I’m not here for arguments. If differing opinions will result in that then maybe I will bite my tongue. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders based on this comment so I believe the community is headed in the right direction.

Thats very dismissive of you and does not fit this community well imo.

That’s not your place to decide.

pushing your assumptions on others is a dick move.

Don’t really know what assumptions I pushed here.

Telling people you feel your existence is denied because someone says “autistic people don’t have powers” is just not a good look. Calling names and picking fights with people who don’t agree with you isn’t either.

Unfortunately for you, I’m not leaving this community just because you want me to. I will be blocking you because I didn’t come here to be called a dismissive dick. I suggest you do the same.

Have a nice day.

I’m considered gifted as well and I would never compare it to having “powers”. I’m just good at taking IQ tests. That’s not what I’d call a power.
