This was an excellent story. Thank you. The bit with the acorns sent me.

Your example is not defeating the purpose, it’s futility. Defeating the purpose would be to vacuum first and then dust after. An “undoing” must occur.

I love how nobody even bothers responding to this dumpster fire. Just downvotes. Hilarious.

Yes, obviously poor social skills. Demonstrably.

I can speak from direct experience here.

You do not argue law with police in the United States. Period. Any example of it working out is overshadowed by hundreds of deaths. Even giving off the impression you’re some kind of sovereign citizen is a good way to get killed.

You quite literally — and this is triple true if you’re a POC — must submit to them and pay a lawyer to interact with the Corrections Department and the courts. Doing anything other than this, e.g., resisting arrest, arguing law, is a surefire way to get hurt or killed.

The police in the United States are not there to help, you should never talk to them. This includes arguing law.

I was being charitable. It’s now becoming obvious you’re just a finnicky person with bad social skills.

I mean seriously, if I had a friend who got so uppity about some silly way I told time (that was common where I came from), I would have to seriously wonder what was wrong with them.

You’re dealing with both impediments and social issues here. This would be difficult for anyone. I highly suggest professional help, but if it’s not available or you are unwilling, the next best thing would be to understand you’re going to need to fail a lot with intentions of getting better, and it may never happen. I’m rooting for you.

Edit: To clarify, speech therapy and general therapy are what you will benefit from.

You didn’t like the way your friend… told time? And that was enough to end the friendship?

And I thought I was neurotic. How do you even have friends? I’m not even attacking you, I’m looking for advice here.

JAQing off about immigration based on religion and ethnicity is not an “I am from left” thing to do.

It feels like a standard case of it’s fine until it isn’t. I wouldn’t worry about it and only drop it from your vocabulary if you notice it causing harm.

Yes. Start with Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing. From there, post threads asking for suggestions based on what you liked.

Just avoid games that cost a lot or have lots of micro transactions. Its like smoking cigarettes, better to not start.
