I love information dumps.

I also seem to be the rare internet user who does not hate small talk. I’ve never really seen a problem with it and now thanks to the internet the one problem I see is “unpopular amongst internet users, may make them unhappy.” Wonder if this is an internet/real life split, or if everyone but me hates it but smiles and pretends in real life so I think more people are fine with it than actually are. I guess I interpret it as a person sharing their genuine thoughts. Sometimes I look outside and think “it’s a nice day!” so why wouldn’t other people vocalize their thoughts amongst the same lines? I guess I see it as a common shared experience and attempt to connect over something “easy” like that since a lot of people will agree that yes, it is a nice day. (If you don’t, some might take offense but I’d love to hear why you disagree—invites more discussion!) Then again, I’m also an extrovert, so I’m just like “Yes! Social interaction!!!”

Stuff like this, not sharing in a lot of common complaints about neurotypical interaction, makes me feel too neurotypical for the neurodivergents, but I also do have ADHD and autism and my fair share of social struggles so I’m also too neurodivergent for the neurotypicals. For what it’s worth if I know you don’t like small talk I’ll try to remember and accommodate that.

Thank you for helping with your friend’s transport. When I was in college I had to rely on friends who had their own cars with them to get me to the donation center.

I wonder how many people actually tried to enter through this door because of the sign.

I think the perceived overlap is often because popular DDOI and NSSF are often also YDMGU

Probably a smart idea to change the name. Best wishes!

I checked it out to see if it would be a nice alternative to !upliftingnews@lemmy.world. It might be better on less political content but there is still usually someone being… less than uplifting and more negative (even if it is on topic) in the comments with a ton of upvotes rewarding the negativity because it is also a popular negative sentiment. RIP.

(And no, I do not downvote them just because I really dislike the content. It is not against the rules, I do not think it’s untrue, it is not spam, and I don’t think it quite goes as far as uncivil jerkiness, so I leave the votes alone and just stay out of the comments and now I am posting a warning here.)

Advice if that stuff brings you down: follow the community and keep out of the comments, that is what I currently do on !upliftingnews@lemmy.world.

Have you considered putting this on ttrpg.network?
