I think your average geek used to be like, somewhat academic and erudite and into arcane knowledge and had some level of good faith of wanting to engage in discussion

Now it’s all frauds and absolutely braindead elon stans and crypto dipshits and conservative freaks and people who enjoy and defend watching big tech destroy everything.

      It’s kind of a joke, but ask about how they arrange their sock drawer.

        What’s the autist’s answer to that question?

          Any answer other than “huh?” is a dead giveaway.

          “Actually, I don’t have a system because the time it takes me to pick a valid pair of socks is…” is as autistic an answer as “Left-to-right by increasing wavelength color, dark colors in the back” or “All socks are paired up and perpendicular for easy overview”.

          I am learning from Lemmy lately that being clean and organized means:

          I am gay

          I am autistic

        What does it say about me that I only buy two kinds of socks: black Carhartt work socks and white Hanes ankle socks, so the drawer is just divided into two piles?
