I typed this whole comment about how and why sociology is a science, and realized they probably don’t give a shit.

I feel like shitting on the people who want to eat a cheeseburger is so missing the point here.

But it’s nice for you that you’ve never had to eat at McDonald’s.

It was $11 and change the other day for two of those little cheeseburgers and medium fry, no drink. Which, the medium fry is now a small. It’s tiny.

There’s one day a week where I work late and I just don’t feel like cooking and I’m starving, and I just wanted to grab something quickly. I could have gotten a whole rotisserie chicken at the grocery store for $10. Except those are also tiny now, come in bags that leak grease instead of the cartons they used to come in, and the last two times I’ve gotten them have had several feathers fried to the wing. Which is why I didn’t stop and get one ffs. Every goddamn thing is a rip off.

interspersed withing your own stories that you’re telling me.

This is what I don’t get. The neurotypical person is the one telling personal stories, but then we’re the bad people when we…tell personal stories.

I just see the same behaviors in everyone all the time and wonder what exactly is making the difference between neurotypical and neurodiverse. Besides an undue stigma from neurotypicals against people who don’t fit absolutely perfectly into social norms for whatever arbitrary reasons.

So right after I signed up at the beginning of this year, they switched from HBOMax to “Max.” I paid for a year in advance, and of course when I signed up there was nothing about them switching to a new brand. All of a sudden it was full of trash reality shows and ID Discovery true crime. I have no idea what possessed them to do that.

Then once it switched over I stopped being able to stream any new HBO shows on mobile and customer service won’t refund me any amount. Not that I can even communicate with them effectively. It’s all “chat” with AI or people who have no idea what I’m saying. Half the shows still won’t play on mobile for me.

TL;DR I paid for a year of HBO. They changed their selection a few months in. I lost mobile access to a bunch of their shows. And now I’m losing even more features before the year is up. That’s quite literally not what I paid for.

How exactly is any of that legal? Genuine question. What about the Federal Trade Commission? Isn’t there fucking anybody regulating these corporations in the US?

I honestly think it’s better than Netflix (most streaming services are) and Hulu and definitely better than Prime.

It’s just that once they switched to Max they started focusing on reality shows and true crime and other such garbage.

Speaking of social skills.

It's always so nice when someone comes into a group they don't belong to and proceeds to make assumptions about a bunch people they've never met and everything they're doing wrong and then spouts some shit like "have you tried just not being autistic?"

People just love that.

that's due to the way society treats autistic people.

So when is that going to change

maybe we should just make life easier for the disabled

So when is that gonna happen

Right there with you
