It may still be a good idea to reduce the volume if interactions become grating. Take more time for yourself, avoid bringing up landmine subjects, don't outstay your welcome, don't let them do it, either, etc.

Clear sunny days and equivalently lit environments. Anything brighter than cloudy is too bright, it's like all of that brightness fills my bandwidth and I can't think properly.

Ambient heat above 25°C is another one, that feeling of bulgy, sweaty, tight, sticky meat suit does not help my composure. It's acceptable in some very specific contexts, but VERY specific.

Crowds get my heart pumping as well, too many people to track, variable overload.

On the flipside, I've seen some comments mentioning clutter as being another potential trigger, but I've always found visual noise to be soothing. My brain enjoys picking out the details as a background process, and the more varied/colourful, the better! I still have my limits, though, like I have no problem with messiness, like clothes thrown about the place and tools/resources left on random surfaces, but trash is trash.

Needs a haircut.

I've honestly started to believe that most people don't have species consciousness (I don't know how else to put it), in that they don't see how their individual survival is inextricably linked to the survival (and wellbeing) of the species as a whole.

Most people don't understand that they're as much a part of the shit show as anyone else and as such tend to just wait things over while the building burns down around them. It's frustrating, beyond frustrating even.

No, but seriously. I see this said everywhere and I think most people take it as a sort of superstition, but, like... your entire thought patterns change once you give it up, it's like an engine being allowed to slow down after over-revving it incessantly. All these things do is waste our cognitive bandwidth. And, yes, I'm including any social network where "me" is the main focus.

Lol? Lmao, even?

The post-modern version of "three kids in a trenchcoat."

Nietzche would've lost his marbles. Oh, wait...

I'm morbidly eager to see how they'll handle the Win 10 EoL (yeah, yeah, it ain't dyin', just not getting updated, same thing to me tbh) in October. I bet it'll be a shitshow.

I don't rebel because I'm a punk, I'm a punk because I rebel😎💅

"... so it was 'if you poo in the shower, then you never have to flush?' Or was it pee? And what's flushing? Oh, no, Diogenes is staring at me again..."

I'm picturing this conversation as a debate in a public plaza in Ancient Greece, surrounded by wizened old men wearing bedsheets and looking really pensive.

Edit: Socrates is there, too, he's wearing a bleu ciel one with a repeating feather print pattern. It's laundry day...

Why, yes, we as a society are, indeed, ruining any and all types of nuance! Why do you ask?

Oh, c'mooon! Would've loved a manager with this amount of innocence!

Mmmmm, breast.

It puts the pickles in my mouth or else it gets the hose again.

PUT THE PICKLES IN MY FUCKING MOUTH!

Jesus Christ...

Infection is a natural part of existence and the human organism has to fight against every infection, whether familiar or not. We'll just to have to take our bodies' example.

Yeah, it's a blatant attempt to establish a draconic police state for the average citizenry, abhorrent shit.

My feedback: stop this bullshit and focus on actual problems.
