Honestly I think it’s perfectly fine and I don’t think it makes you more/less neurotypical at all. I just think there’s different folks and they like different strokes, y’know?

I’m not coming at it from “hating” small talk, everything is so insanely intense these days, whenever I talk about anything critically people assume I “hate” it, but I don’t, I’m actually just curious about it. I think it would be cool if I could learn to appreciate small talk for instance, but for that I’d need to actually understand what it’s about. But I suppose it’s just not for me because I just don’t really have those thoughts like “nice day today” and such.

Same!

Blocked for calling anarchists absurd.

That is a dumb take and you could look it up on Wikipedia if you cared and iota to read many influential anarchist authors e.g. Kropotkin or Grabber, but trying to prove wrong every wrong person on the internet I’d never have time for myself so I’m moving on.

I have blocked 264 users, 9 communities and 4 instances and it’s made Lemmy much better for me toxicity wise. Whenever a debate gets toxic or someone starts just insulting or discussing in bad faith or I just get a bad vibe from them - I block.

Cron job that evals some base64 encoded string which is actually downloading a script from a personal GitHub repo of an IT guy who left…

God and I thought the plot of the Fallout TV show was absurd with the “Bud’s Buds” shit but it’s literally real

Lmao that’s a good one.

Hahaha I always do this with chemical brothers because of “my chemical romance” which is a very different band, well spotted.

I was pretty confused for a moment reading this, thinking you were pumping music into your spinal cord or something then I realized it was speakers you’re talking about haha

You don’t need PR for that necessarily but yeah I see your point.

See that’s counter-intuitive to me because doesn’t it usually imply some level of knowledge of the people or at least something you have in common?

I don’t know them, I’ve never seen any of them more than once, I’ve never spoken to or been spoken to by them anywhere I lived, because people IRL generally keep to themselves and just talking to random strangers is pretty weird all in all.

With your usage of the word “community” in “community centre” i just figured it’s an extremely old timey generic way to generically refer to a settlement, including cities, towns, residential areas/neighbourhoods, districts, zones, boroughs, areas and other localities that’s fallen out of use.

In that case I’m not sure how I’m meant to interpret @AnIndefiniteArticle’s usage of the word, because I don’t know how someone can destroy the social fabric of random collections of actual strangers on the street lol, there isn’t any, they’re just randoms on about their day.

See as an ADHDer what I don’t understand is if not for us - what do neurotypicals talk about and how do they do it? Like when medicated I don’t feel compelled to “overshare”.

But then where there used to be a long “rant” about something I deeply enjoy and am interested in, I’d just say nothing instead, or something like “nothing much”, which also got weird reactions and seemed kinda anti-social. So I started occasionally doing it again and people seem to enjoy it.

But not all people, and definitely not all the time. Don’t get me wrong it’s not like I cut people off to talk about my shit, if they share, I share, in most social situations I don’t initiate conversations and speak only really when spoken to.

So I don’t get this, what would I actually talk about to anyone if talking about myself is infodumping?

Food and weather? Sure, but that’s one time, maybe twice, but coworkers you talk to every day? Your actual friends/acquaintances?

Doesn’t it get old for them?

Why would anyone even talk to anyone at all if it’s just pointless bullshit like “oh you also consume warm animal flesh alongside vegetables for sustinence and dopamine? Wow truly incredible! I’d never heard of this, now that’s exciting! What’s crazy is - I do it too.”

I don’t want to go all “heckin’ normies” but I honestly wonder if the few people who do complain about me oversharing or infodumping something I’m interested in are honestly just jealous that they don’t got anything half as interesting to talk about and that I can be so happy and excited just talking about fairly boring things, and even make other people vaguely interested, if only as a matter of trivia.

My S.O. is an ADHDer as well. She and I just infodump our interests on each other, we are polite and ask follow up questions so the other person feels heard, then relate it to something of mutual interest and from then on decide on an activity.

That’s the most socializing form of socializing I’ve ever done honestly, and idk how else I would do it with anyone close or otherwise.

And then you have apps that will use their own DNS silently instead of the NS you point them to…

Gonna have to go with My Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar for just the best bass drop in general. Like a whole new world. But it’s not a headbanger or anything.

If you want a headbanger: Born Slippy by NUXX

There’s also Livin’ Loose by George Clanton with a legendary bass drop, but it’s not very high energy, more like chilled out:

If you do want a bit more high energy:

Quicksand by Sweet Valley

If you want even more high energy and never heard of Sweet Trip, (or in general if you haven’t heard of Sweet Trip), I highly recommend it.

It’s one of those bands that you gotta listen to before you die because there’s nothing quite like them out there, even if you don’t end up liking them, the fact anyone makes music like this is pure enrichment of the human experience.

Tekka by Sweet Trip

Pro:lov:ad by Sweet Trip

Also if you like that song above, check out this fan-made music video by rigging a facegen AI to react to the beat of the music

If you want something more normal:

I wait for u (by the telephone) - Figurine

If modern electronic/rap is also okay: check out this, it’s basically death grips but less over the top experimental:

Not that I’m anywhere by Cities Aviv

And as an extra non-EDM “epic bass drop” (well more like drums kicking in), I can’t help but mention this:

Talking Distance by Soundbeam Sound Machine

and

Doomsday by Speedy Ortiz.

EDIT: sorry if that’s too many! It was hard to narrow it down to so few of my all time favourites that fit the criteria or that I think OP will like!

I read this in a dumb voice in my head, it sounded kinda like goofy but like, lower pitch. So I’m gonna say you’re wrong, and I’m the smarterest bye bye XoXo

That’ll just give more seats to reform.
