Somehow this article is coming to mind, I was contemplating a can of Barq's trying to unpack the mysteries.

There's beer drunk, there's whiskey drunk and then there's grain alcohol drunk.

It just occurred to me - this thread could be an aspie mosh pit, and a *really* useful one at that.

Here's where we build our hacks to mind-control NT's. Next step - world domination!

She talks about how Cubans practice game. It sounds like they're way more conscious of it, or at least this was the case back in 2013 - hoping the 'woke' bug didn't hit their shores yet.

For aspies I think the trick is 'getting the theory' first and being able to rif on it, so situations where it's really forward and self-aware are places where we can digest it more and reverse-engineer it rather than rely on instincts we didn't come equipped with.

Political awareness is a positive feature, not a bug. Why would decent person anyone hope for others to remain ignorant and oblivious? :?

If there's any rule of flirting - it can't be meta-cognitive.

Personally, I'm a fan of satire so I don't see this as a problem. Humour makes the world a better place.
