I saw a gif of this on twitter with less explanation a while ago and I felt suddenly enlightened. This is cool. It's so neat how geometry feels like a specific thing contained in its own bubble of "maths about shapes and that's it" but actually it's just another way of writing equations and relationships that can be really useful in things that aren't to do with actual physical shapes in the real world.

i think one major flaw in the narrative constructed in that essay is that it assumes the democrat and republican party platforms haven't changed over time. both parties have moved quite a ways to the right over the decades in question, and the makeup of their constituent bases changed as well.

i definitely think irrationality and demonization of the other plays a massive and important role in the current state of american and global politics, but i also think identifying it as the problem rather than a symptom with many contributing factors is a dangerous oversimplification.

I'm afraid I don't think I have any great advice but I wanted to say hi it's nice to see you again <3.

This stuff can sometimes depend highly on your state or province or even at the city level though. Maybe your state or province or city has a disability resources page on their website?

Yeah I am definitely pretty much the same. For example much like the article mentioned, I have difficult time tuning out background music during conversations, which sucks boinkydoinkers. I think it definitely played into my childhood obsessions with comics, books, legos and video games.

It's kind of amazing though how much you need to fight other people to let them give some peace, even people I've known for a long time.
