Making up for lost time by pitching and catching, or by playing with 4 balls at once?

Like this ~~:.|:;~~

Edit to be more informative

It's :.|:; with a 'strikethrough' through the whole thing.

So — Colon, Period, Vertical Bar, Colon, Semi-Colon and then a 'strikethrough' (idk if it depends on your lemmy app, but mine uses 2 tildes (~) on each side of whatever you're striking through ~~like so~~)

I don't have the same issues, but I get it. And yes, I don't "need to read" the subtitles, but I enjoy the clarification lol

I was a "toe-walker" as a kid, some tics I had to overcome, mild prosopagnosia, adhd stuff vs autistic traits, the audio processing issues... all kinda leaving me with a bunch of social anxiety because I can't always recognize or get to know people (who clearly remember me). I have to constantly play it off as being "aloof" or "head in the clouds". But truly, I just have delays in a few areas and can't always keep up with what's being presented. And the worse it is, the worse my anxiety becomes, leading to a cyclical issue. It's exhausting trying to "keep-up" sometimes

But ya know... fuck it. Just being aware has helped some. I still live a constantly awkward social life, but it's just how I am. I've accepted a lot of it and have learned to (mostly) appreciate my "quirks", and just be the best me that I can manage.

It's not so much that I'm autistic, but more so that I'm simply me.

Edit: I still don't really hear lyrics either, even with treatment. The voice is just another instrument to me (almost like a bass or a drum)...but I kinda like it, because I can always look the lyrics up and clarify... if the song slaps (aka, I'm obsessed). Every day is a new adventure lol

That's a keen observation (whether true or not). It took me a long time to realize I wasn't "hard-of-hearing"... I just couldn't always figure out what was being said (literally having difficulty processing it). So I enjoy subtitles, to say the least

But still, very astute of you

Who's to say you're not (I won't, at the least)?

perfectionist mindset - as one is writing,

I think an "M-Dash (perfectionist mindest— as one is writing,)" would be more appropriate than an "N-Dash" in your statement. No 'nested' parentheses needed (unless you're looking to add non-essential (though insightful) info to your sentence); but the type of... "PAUSE" makes all the difference

Incomprehension of fraction to decimal conversion is why 90% of people who say they are bad at math, say they are bad at math

I feel called out. I was in high-school Calculus (11th grade) before I "truly" understood fractions. Like, I honestly somehow managed to make it to Calculus without knowing how to add and subtract fractions without a calculator. Thought I was dumb in math until 9th grade algebra, and didn't start becoming a bit of a math nerd until Calculus

Nope! It's a whole new fanny pack world for you to re-create

Use a fanny pack. It's ok to wear them again and will put you ahead of the "cool" curve

Sorry, when I said "So that's fun", I was being sarcastic

But that's kinda what I was trying to get at. You don't really know if a scammer is being trafficked or not, so casting a wide net that calls all of them human garbage becomes difficult

And a large portion of them are being trafficked for slave labor; so that's fun
