Yep, I said that.
So offensive... Not really.

How does one overcome theory of mind impairments when the mind doesn't think that way?
I spend a lot of excess time wondering "what did that mean?", "why did they behave like that?"
Sometimes I spend years thinking about these things.
I can't see the signs in social situations.
It's like asking a blind person to describe what the colour green looks like.

Ever thought about that? I think that's pretty cool.

You would be surprised what I think about.

Yep. That's a pretty normal thing on many other forums, actually.

Okay, with that being said here is how I feel about the dealing with ignorant neurotypicals. Please note this is not mean to be taken literally***

I used to do this with music at my ex partner. There is always a song where the lyrics could sum up my feelings exactly and I would play that particular song to convey my feelings but she never picked up on it.

I guess in hindsight, I'd have been better off just telling her. We might have still been together. Oh well, ho hum... :roll:

sometimes i prefer doing that when my word arsenal is not sufficient


compared to taking the time to explain it is efficient


luckily when i did it to people, they understood



from hindsight, i'd redo underclassman high school years if i could

For anyone who has wanted a NSW personalized plate 83.ASPI (or insert your own birthyear) is more than likely available :D

^ Nice idea for a personalised plate, even if it is the wrong state. Damn cockroaches. :P

Eesh, Kip. That must have taken you a while.

Don't worry it's available in QLD too, for a mere $2400 :P

We kinda get three tiers of personalised plates here;
- the first is just a restyle of a standard issue one, which means you can't change the actual rego number, just the design of the plate.
- the second is personalized but it has to fit any one of the RMS's stated number-letter patterns (this is what I'm getting soon, about $275 upfront plus an extra $100 or so in rego each year)
- the third tier is completely customizable and you can make the plate say whatever you want.

In QLD it appears you can only get the equivalent of NSW's tier one and three, with no in-between.

No. This is an excellent question.
Why? -- Because otherwise I would have wasted more time under the wrong assumption that there is nothing wrong with my idea.

Indeed, being unable to read the signals is a big problem that I had conveniently ignored. :|

Well, finally was able to get my graphics card to work on my computer.. The problem all had to do with windows 10 pro not acknowledging the graphics card in the first place..

Call me naïve but I'm guessing that's what Queenslanders call us New South Welshmen. COCKROACHES??

I was born in NSW and lived here all my life (48 years) and I never knew they referred to us as COCKROACHES!!

Family may have been right when they said I was born in outer space and lived under a rock!

What does that make Queenslanders then? Flying turds?
