rindolf | cantelope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome describes me and me alone. there *is* a conspiracy. |
cantelope | Sure, except anything outside of the narrowest mainstream "normal" has a label as being a disorder |
cantelope | And even mainstream behavior, if we don’t like you :P |
cantelope | He’s obsessed with playing games! Oh, nevermind that he’s locked in his room 20 hours a day with just the console |
cantelope | Seems relevant somehow, but he’s totally OCD if you ask us |
cantelope | I’ve said this before, but must I point out that NOT every savant must necessarily be an idiot savant? |
cantelope | Show abnormal aptitude for anything or everything and suddenly we all feel better about ourselves by calling you sick |
cantelope | Go figure |
rindolf | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlot0i3Zykw also describes me, and my physical sex-life amounted to one "rapekiss" |

rindolf | there are 3 "the guild" songs on youtube that i like |
rindolf | cantelope: i’ve been diagnosed with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoaffective_disorder too; another f**kers obstacle |
cantelope | More like you were diagnosed with an acute failure to kiss ass, amirite? |
rindolf | cantelope: what? |
cantelope | In all the schizo* cases I’ve seen, the label is attached willy nilly in response to a need to show that *something* was done to address some alleged thing that happened. In other words, when people are difficult and strange, they become targets for that diagnosis, whether it’s helpful or not |
rindolf | cantelope: by 'kissing ass', do u mean dispensing flattery? |
cantelope | Yeah, if you had only befriended the alleged victim, the court and/or the shrink... You would be healthy as an ox® |
cantelope | Sadly, this usually involves hurting your own life somehow |
cantelope | World is mad jenky atm |

Natasha8 | >> Shlomi Fish’s FAQ - This site loads so quickly. What is your secret? |
cantelope | Their first mistake is thinking that mediocrity is isolated to software |
cantelope | Modern cars in fact do not "run at 98% efficiency of what’s possible". Rather they’re very carefully designed to shit the bed within 10 years |
cantelope | Phones, everything pretty much |
rindolf | cantelope: i hate the terresterial consumerism of refrigerators / washing machines / etc |

rindolf | many PC XT boxes are still operational |
cantelope | XP? |
rindolf | cantelope: no - XT |
rindolf | 8088 / DOS / etc |
rindolf | cantelope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer_XT |
cantelope | Yeah, things used to be made to last in general. It was thought that longevity/durability was a selling point, before research indicated ppl are too stupid not to just keep buying disposable crap |
cantelope | Still see plenty of old Volkswagens on the road, for example |
cantelope | Make things break quickly, because it pays. Bravo, capitalism... *slow clap* |

rindolf | cantelope: ^^ |
cantelope | Yeah I see it. The problem isn’t fallacies or greed. These are predictable features of any economic model that overrelies on competition. Competition in fact isn’t even the crux of an open market system as were told, but rather freedom to choose, a very different thing |
cantelope | There will be fallacies, and deception and inequity as long as you are at odds with your own neighbors, financially |
cantelope | They are literally your economic adversaries under capitalism.l, and therefore balance is impossible |
cantelope | The margins all become battlegrounds, versus equilibrium as in a cooperative environment |
