Pretty similar experience to what others have mentioned, so mostly echoing what they said.

With a shutdown I "hit the wall" so to speak. I could have been fine when things started out but I have reached the point where whatever it is has built up and I have reached my limit of overstimulation. I will stop participating in conversation, if it's really bad I won't even move much or be paying attention.

Because I grew up with "you're not autistic you're just high maintenance" parents I learned to "save" my meltdowns. I may have short responses or act annoyed when I'm around others. Inside I am raging. And I know I'm raging for no reason aside from the environment, but I can't help it. Which makes me more mad lol. Overstimulation is not just "wow it's loud in here" it's physically painful to me to continue to exist in that environment. Once I get home I rage cry.

Another thing that can make me shutdown or have meltdowns is plans changing, not only overstimulation. When I have plans it is like my entire life leading up to that point is built on the fact that I will be doing X at Y time. I have spent the time to mentally prepare myself to do X at Y time. If those things change, everything feels fucked up.

Recognizing when I am becoming overstimulated helps me a lot now that I actually understand what is happening. If I get to take a break and go for a walk or go somewhere quiet it usually prevents me from having a full on meltdown later. Also just... Admitting what is happening. Like "I am angry because the time changed from 3pm to 5pm and I was not mentally prepared for that." But some situations are just too much and it ends up happening anyway.

They should double down and get him to testify this under oath instead of a press conference

Even their chicken fries aren't as good anymore 😭

I read someone say weaver chicken tenders were identical to their old tenders, but they don't sell those here sadly

Paypal didn't exist before x.com. x.com and cofinity merged to create Paypal

You would think that after so many YouTubers sucked at apologizing and got called out they would figure out how to do it the right way. But no!

That big ass team and you couldn't get a PR person to help you?

None of this was irredeemable. Sure, it will take a significant amount of time to rebuild trust but you can choose to be transparent in response and right your wrongs.

The hubris

People who follow in the path of Satan actually do good things. Like fight for LGBT+ and abortion rights. Satan is the one that told everyone they should exercise their free will, think for themselves, have bodily autonomy, support LGBT+, etc.

Elon sold his soul to the prosperity gospel, if anything. He thinks he can do no wrong and no matter what happens he will roll in increasingly large piles of money. I would even go so far to say that he is entitled to it no matter what poor decisions he makes.

This is just Kanye/Trump 2.0. Dude has been spoiled for so long, never being told no, surrounded by yes men, told he's a genius, literally worshipped by some people... Even if he's not mentally ill that's enough to fuck up your brain.

I mean... this isn't even new. Look at his x.com days. X.com was incompetent while cofinity already had payments working between palm pilots. In 1998! X.com got bought out as a competitor, and somehow Elon was given enough control to completely fuck things up before he was fired. The only thing he's been good at is getting weird nerds (hard to even call them nerds, cause nerds are supposed to be smart) to jizz their pants whenever he says anything remotely technical sounding that doesn't even make much sense. Experts have been calling him out forever and everyone stuck their head in the sand. For DECADES! And women have said he's a nasty creep for a long time too.

It's the same shit y'all just didn't see it.

Yikes, I hope these people's entire family has some sort of protection. It's normal for them to attempt to kill anyone they don't like.

Thank you! I thought park of work reform was making the current system work for you to get the most for the least amount of work. Now suddenly that's not ok and it makes you "mediocre"?

I can be a bomb ass employee, if you give me bomb ass pay and benefits. Yes I am going to dance around you highlighting all my accomplishments cause I'm not about to do extra shit for free just cause you didn't notice.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Silently raging instead of participating isn't hurting the company, they get to pay you less.

Still not worth using slurs

Uhhhh this is exactly how you are supposed to work? I learned that early on. Your boss isn't sitting there watching your every move. You could save the company a trillion dollars and no one would give a fuck if you never tell anyone.

No one is getting a raise or promoted cause they worked 60 hours a week. Working on high visibility projects that are easy is the secret. And if you can't get added to a high visibility project, make your projects high visibility.

Fix the work culture if you don't like it Price. Otherwise go fuck yourself.

Damned if you do damned if you don't
