The picture's been updated, I guess they realized their mistake.

I stumbled across this link on .world one time, and your comment made me think of it. Hopefully it's entertaining if nothing else.

From a lot of what I've seen, strong literalism and very little intuition is a pretty common trait with autism. You have a picture with a bunch of people at the beach, we'll, you have a bunch of people at the beach. The lifeguard isn't on vacation, some people could be there on a day trip, so why would you say vacation. Take the same picture, add a sign that says "Beachside Resort" and you might be more likely to say vacation.

I think this ties into how people with autism respond to open-ended and closed questions. What's 2+2? Well, 4, obviously. What's your favorite color? Shouldn't be too hard. What's the best color? Now it gets confusing. If I'm hunting, neon orange is great. If I'm painting the outside of my house, probably not neon orange. I probably want a different color than either of those for my bedroom, my clothes, my car. And now you've been staring at the evaluator for 30 seconds like they just asked you the meaning of life and how that is going to direct your goals for the next 20 years, when what a more neurotypical person would say is, "Blue, because it brings out my eyes."

So if you look at those questions in that context, they may be very helpful for the evaluator to make a diagnosis, simply because there is no obvious answer.

I don't even like sweet potatoes but like that there's enough salty/sharp stuff

I like sweet potatoes, but I get you. I don't understand this thing where people add marshmallows. It's already sweet! Now, bake a sweet potato, mash it, and add a little bit of salt and some hot sauce to preference, that definitely works for me.

The punishment was easy, so the intent wasn't as great. You know, the difference between a bullet to the head and repeated bashing with a rock. I'm sure in all these instances, the lack of effort was a relief to the target of the action.

Who would be the bad faith actor here? Wiwynn? If they don't have an order, that's going to fall flat pretty fast. Seems like a pretty risky bet at $60 million. Twitter? Then it isn't Wiwynn's problem, Twitter can take care of their bill, and deal with their internal issues.

I wouldn't describe taking over a company and then not fulfilling obligations incurred prior to the purchase as good behavior. Would you?

I want something like this where I live. We have FPTP here, but we have a viable third option in some areas. I'd be happier to to have more than 2 robust parties on the national stage.

This is the sound of an animal with no natural predators.

I personally don't get expecting someone to put his livelihood on the line to say out loud what people want to hear. If Markiplier's lack of endorsement of piracy is what was going to stop you from pirating, I don't know what to say. If it's what it takes to make you stop supporting him, that's your choice.

For me, it sounds like he is saying, "My corporate overlords want me to say that piracy isn't the option. Heck, I don't know how it works, but it isn't too hard...uh...but I know only a little about it. They're standing behind me, aren't they?" I like him well enough, but have only watched his channel on other people's devices. If he was more senior, he might say different things, not unlike some developer studio leaders. He might not, hard to say. It won't have any bearing one way or another on my actions.

That will help, but the acidification of the ocean will cause the shells of certain creatures to dissolve.. Hopefully we can correct it before we get to this point, but it isn't looking promising.

I will never stop calling any scene where an object is moving towards people and they run directly away from it while it's gaining on them as "the Prometheus school of running away." This was only slightly less stupid than trying to outrun a train...on the tracks.
