    you're calling me a liar because I'm not literally quoting you, but you've been using straw men through the entire thread. Do you know why neurotypical people don't do that?

      Yep. I'm calling you a liar because you put things you claimed I said in quotation marks when I never said them.

      And are you using autism as an insult really?

        No, I'm just trying to help you understand the thing you clearly have trouble understanding.

        Jokes are not lies, especially when nobody intends for anybody anywhere to be deceived and nobody is deceived. Your failure to understand that social concept doesn't make you a bad person, but it's a social concept you might want to try to understand instead of just calling people liars.

        And you are not entitled to pay the price you want to pay for Netflix. They need no justification to increase their prices.

          Jokes are not lies

          Yes, I have already heard your Trumpian defense. And yet your "jokes" totally misrepresent me and what I said. Which, I don't know, sound like lies to me.

          For example:

          And you are not entitled to pay the price you want to pay for Netflix.

          I never said I was. And yet you suggest I did. In this case it isn't a lie, but it is dishonest. Let me guess, just a joke, right?

            I never said I was.

            You've been acting very very very strongly as though you are entitled to pay the price you want to pay. You are acting like any price increase ever is "price gouging," and you stuck to that opinion even stronger after multiple people explained to you all the ways in which it was not price gouging. You are acting like Netflix needs to "justify" price increases by asking everybody about their justification and insulting them when they suggest they don't need to justify price increase it. It would be absurd to think that you did all of this without feeling a sense of entitlement to the prices you preferred.

            It is extremely dishonest for you to pretend you don't understand what you've said throughout this thread. You actively made yourself sound like an entitled, spoiled child, and now that you're being called out on it, you're saying not that I've misunderstood your point (if you have one, I still don't understand it), not that I accused you of something that you don't feel is true—because I didn't tell you you felt entitled, I told you you weren't entitled—but no, you accused me of lying.

            Because you are not capable of processing the meaning of any other person's words. You're only capable of processing your own internal truth, and whether other peoples' words reflect your own truth accurately, and if they don't, that is your definition of a lie.

            That's not how neurotypical, mature adults interact with one another. At some point, we learn to socialize by trying to understand what the other person is saying, in good faith, instead of assuming the least coherent version of it, and using that assumption to further assume bad faith.

            Until you learn to do that, fuck off, nobody wants to hear from you.

              You’ve been acting very very very strongly as though you are entitled to pay the price you want to pay. You are acting like any price increase ever is “price gouging,” and you stuck to that opinion even stronger after multiple people explained to you all the ways in which it was not price gouging.

              All of that is a lie. I didn't bother reading further. I'm tired of your lies.

              Edit: Actually, the word 'neurotypical' caught my eye. This is the second time you've used autism as an insult. I'm flagging both instances.

                All of that is a lie.

                You wanna run it by anybody else in this thread, see if anybody else disagrees with my characterization of your comments?

                Do you want to clarify which point of my characterization of your comments you disagree with? Do you want to describe a price increase that you don't think is price gouging? Do you want to admit that Netflix doesn't need to justify its price increases?

                You're taking it all personally, but that's what your comments say to the people reading them. if you meant something else, you should have found a different way to express it.

                This is the second time you’ve used autism as an insult. I’m flagging both instances.

                I am not insulting you. I'm trying to help you. Don't commit yourself to misunderstanding the social cues you don't know how to process.

                  I asked if it was price gouging. I asked if it was illegal. They were questions.

                  And the idea that you can "help" an autistic person is disgusting and insulting to them. I am not autistic, but I have very close people I love who are ASD and you are acting like there's something seriously wrong with them. There isn't. And I hope the mods take care of you and your disgusting ableism. This is my last response.

                    They read like rhetorical questions at first, but if you read my comment again, you'll see where I pointed out how, after we explained why it wasn't price gouging, you insisted that it was.

                    And the idea that you can “help” an autistic person is disgusting and insulting to them.

                    The idea that they are beyond help sounds much more insulting to me, but what do I know?

                    By the way, the opposite of "neurotypical" is not "autistic," but it's convenient that you zeroed in on one particular form of neurodivergence due to your own ignorance.

                    I am not autistic, but I have very close people I love who are ASD and you are acting like there’s something seriously wrong with them.

                    No, I don't know them. There is something seriously wrong with you, though. Not because you don't understand basic social cues, but because you revel in your refusal to understand social cues, and refuse to consider alternate perspectives. There's nothing wrong with missing social cues, the problem is stubbornly insisting that anybody who says anything you don't quite understand is a liar, even after you figure out what they're saying.

                    This is my last response.

                    Good riddance.
