        Reminds me of arguing with my brother on social media. He’s a fucking idiot but when you say the right things, it triggers something in him and he starts using “ergo” instead of therefore randomly out of the blue.

              I know the type; most of my biological relatives are like that, and what’s amazing is they’re ethnically descended a variety of people that i-am-adolf-hitler was happy to exterminate and a lot of them are now fucking fans of his. sus-soviet

              • a variety of people that i-am-adolf-hitler was happy to exterminate and a lot of them are now fucking fans of his

                Is this the type that hates themselves or the type that thinks they wouldn’t get exterminated because they’re One Of The Good Ones™?

                  Both.

                  They’re the type that talk about what d-word-nazis-like much of their own ethicities are and they also talk about what they’d have done in WW2 to help “real good guys” win so that the d-word-nazis-like wouldn’t take over the world and ruin society with atrocities like… the Civil Rights Movement. all-cops-always-bastards scared-fash They’re that fucking awful. I flirt with opsec violation by stating that part of why I moved across the country was to never, ever, see any of them again and so that my offspring never have to in the first place.

        Okay but also sometimes I get afraid of being misunderstood and I think a lot of ND people have that kind of experience and a sort of self-protection thing is then being very specific in your language

          I get like this too, but i think that’s different than pulling out $10 words to try and win an argument - autistic clarification is its own thing to me - I pretty readily switch to a more formal language if i feel misunderstood so i get it

          but also

          Think for a moment on the purpose of that utterance.

          is somebody trying to win

            Oh yeah for sure, this dude is not doing the ND trauma response, this dude studied the blade.
            I guess I felt the need to respond to the tweet, which also covered the overly verboseness.

            This, also I’m just too verbose lea-smug but more than that I’ve always liked or had a tendency to fight fire with fire.

            Also maybe as a kid I wanted to be a lawyer, but that was more due to life reasons
