  • brother there’s no “actual work” i need to put into my life that involves watching more baseball. i played it for 8 years growing up. soccer for 4. football for 2. i’ve got plenty of trophies on… well, in a storage unit somewhere. and i’m living a great life without ESPN on in the background.

    but hey, with all due respect, go fuck yourself. you’re a myopic asshole who misses social cues harder than an actual autist and lives in a fantasy land where people are plastic forever and can pivot developmentally long after growing into adulthood - which is fucking ridiculous. your comment was incredibly disrespectful and choosing (yes, choosing!) to double down on it makes me doubt your ability to function in polite society. if you’re going to interact with complete fucking strangers, maybe think hard about whether you know them better than they know themselves? reality might surprise you, chap!


  • If you met the love of your life and they were super into baseball, they would be able to get you into it because that’s a scenario where…

    what makes you think i haven’t had romantic relationships with sports fans? what makes you think i didn’t grow up around sports, go to countless games with my family, really try to enjoy them?

    what makes you think i’m not just autistic and neurologically wired differently in the fundamental ways that shape my interest in everything, not just entertainment?

    you know literally nothing about me and you’re trying to stuff me in a box that conveniently validates your worldview. by preaching about the wide variety of people in the world, you’re lopping off an entire segment of it that doesn’t meet your preconceptions.

    all due respect, please don’t reply - i’m not interested in continuing this.

    Morales, who had pledged to respect the OAS audit, agreed on 10 November to hold new elections, at a date to be determined. Hours later he and his vice president Álvaro García Linera were forced to resign from office after losing support from the police, the Bolivian Workers’ Center and the military. The President of the Senate and the President of the Chamber of Deputies – both party allies of Morales – resigned on the same day, exhausting the constitutional line of succession. As a result, the second vice president of the Senate, Jeanine Áñez of the opposition Social Democratic Movement, assumed the interim presidency of Bolivia on 12 November 2019.

    there’s definitely dispute over whether the elections were illegitimate (it seems at least the NYT first declared them rigged, then backtracked) but calling it a military coup is complete spin. he stepped down voluntarily in response to violent nationwide protests.
