Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Over in the fiber arts spaces, it is well understood that buying craft supplies and making things with craft supplies are two separate hobbies.

I occasionally paint miniatures but collecting unpainted ones is my main hobby.

True, however they still do not grasp that fact.

When you realize that everyone is subject to such behavior, from time to time, such that it is "we" and not "they", that will be wisdom.

No, it's a medical condition.

No, it's a medical condition.

Insofar as "being human" is a medical condition, yes.

Yes, well I know someone who was in their 30's before being diagnosed, and getting treatment was like that. Just not to be flippant about other people's conditions.

Well, I supposed that life is, ultimately, a terminal condition.

Okay, I think I see where we went wrong here:

I am talking about how two reasonable people can come to different conclusions - you don't need to have medical conditions for this to be true.

There are medical conditions, sure. But we cannot, in general, use those as a blanket reason for why disagreement happens.

The context is neurodivergent people, though I think generalizations are to be avoided also.

I saw it as some folks ascribing a perceived pattern of behavior to neurodivergence that isn't actually specific to neurodivergence. There's a lot of that in popular culture these days.

Specifically this:
"How can you still disagree with me? I explained everything so carefully. I guess I'll explain it again, do try to pay attention this time okay?"

...is a thing that non-divergent people do, too.
