God dammit, I watched that movie for the first time like a month ago (my housemates wanted to watch it with me) and since then I'm (apparently) suddenly seeing references for the first time

This misconception is also why— for the love of fucking god— people need to stop calling autism a "spectrum". It doesn't matter if it is one, what matters is what people think that means. There is no "extremely autistic" or "a little bit autistic"— those people are referring to cognitive ability. Those kinds of people don't know the difference between autism and general intellectual disability. Autism as we "know" it is a fucking disaster of an understanding, and I will die long before we can get people to think correctly about it.
Also, the problem with people really, super wanting to be "autistic" because it makes them "special", not knowing that autism is a full-neurological phenomenon and not just "you think different". That's another huge reason why nobody actually knows what it is and that, yes, it does in fact have a finite list of symptoms/traits. x_x

Samsung has always been garbage, and they've tricked you into thinking they're premium just like Apple does. My $2000 Samsung TV from 2016 suddenly had serious light bleed at the 2-year mark. Turns out on the forums, lots of people complained about that model having light bleed at the two-year mark. The support forums morons refused to do refunds. My Samsung remote stopped working properly until I reinsert the batteries. Samsung folding phones break from folding, Samsung batteries explode, Samsung products are cheap garbage made to break that try to sell you on a single "cutting edge" feature. Samsung is planned obsolescence. Don't buy Samsung.
- This is why I say "10" is not a number, it just means one big group and zero remainder.
- I am a huuuuge proponent of dozenal (base-12)
120 is a lot.
No, see, the point's over there now. Tachyon took it with them.

Why did people downvote this person? No, really, why? Like, this isn't the worst example of this I've seen by a long shot, but I guess I'm just not in the mood for this crap right now.
- Can you even tell if the implication was that they didn't know? Or was it maybe instead that they were being snarky?
- If they genuinely didn't know, are they bad for it? I mean, you're downvoting them because you dislike their statement, right? It's not over irrelevancy. But you're born knowing literally nothing, so what is "common sense", and at what age does it happen? Is it a crime to be unsure of something? And think about it— do you really want to be the kind of person who is a dick to random people just for lacking a bit of sureness/clarity/awareness?
Ugh, social media is a great way for people to discover that they share ideas and tastes with other people, and therefore validate their own humanity; but it's also a great way for them to get bullied by dumb mobs who don't know them, into insecurity and mental health issues.
Eff off, internet.
It'll win when it has the desktop market share that Windows or (or Mac) does.
