Rule of thumb when it comes to combating conflict is to be as minimalist as possible. There have been conquests in history that occurred without a single drop of blood shed, surely that's not beyond modern rebels. The first people to go extreme lengths come off as needy, if you know what I mean.

There are several other things left. The issue is a lot of people think harder not smarter.

Yeah, I get that sometimes. And very strongly when I do. More than once I've even found myself called out for self-absorption simply because I pushed back against being attacked by others. And their defense is always to go figure it all out on one's own as if that's not what conversation is for.

What are the biggest unsung signs you see?

Can relate to all three of these.

Same. I am what many would class as selectively mute (something which for some reason people think is difficult to take one's word for), based on the inability to calculate things to say in a conversation (which also goes with trying to vocally/verbally train myself) but also based on anxiety, and even in school, people would look and think "oh she must be an introvert" which greatly reduced my ability to make friends.

One of my two best friends has autism (closer to the classic kind) and his resistance is impressive. One day he got poison ivy after having run through a whole patch of it in sandals, and everyone wanted to get him treated, but he was like "nah I got this". Looking at him, you'd think maybe it was fake poison ivy, as he made it seem like there was no pain or itchiness whatsoever despite his legs looking like raspberries. After a few weeks, it went away completely on its own.

I'm always surprised to see people assume things when it comes to health; that's one of the last areas of expertise one should be assuming things in. I have a few medical conditions and they're all things people say they have a hard time believing, even though it's not saying much when even asexuality is met with skeptical reactions.

I would never assume you are fake. It would be premature if based on just my own trained expectations. Though... I am impressed to find a drug user whom it doesn't develop into a dependence over, having done that only once.

Why do you despise us :(

There must be some way to get on your good side.

Nero had people sit in the audience and purposefully laugh and do other reactions on cue. He was the first to do this as a routine, which turned into the practice we know today. Maybe it's the use of the word "track"; I did not mean the device.

It's surprising what people these days will call fascism if not going by what someone thinks. That sounds virtually the exact opposite of that.

Truth be told, I think I would be a very close call to the "social democracy" umbrella, if I was to be called anything.

The concept did not require recorded sound. Like why put in a source if nobody is going to use it, especially when it's the one named for the Today I Learned community?

He invented the concept.

As testy as this may sound, sadly it seems everything is chalked up to a "cluster B personality disorder". Maybe this is my sheltered upbringing showing, but this comes off as alien to someone who just treats people based on their character/deeds and assesses interpersonal issues individually as they come on a basis of consistency, not as a part of a larger whole about an individual's inner mechanisms. I would not abandon the good intentioned, if you ever would like someone to talk to, no matter where you want to do it.

I mean, when it comes to tracking people, they're already doing that. America is, without a doubt, beyond screwed. But we should separate this kind of fear from (precise) assessment. And yeah, I'm quite concerned too, especially given his first month in his new term. I have faith the will of the people would secure the two term rule. But that's just my take.

We should focus on something more enlightening, this community (as one of the rules) tends to frown upon going too much into US political ordeals.

Trump seems like he's on the path to do a lot of questionable things, but I doubt targeting people for voting Democrat is one of them. He would be after half of the nation, the half with the urban stronghold, and remember, Trump himself used to be a Democrat.

I've always found it odd people assume like that. The words "I'm fine" isn't always believed, but a face somehow brings the assumption home.

What are you chronically ill with?
