Hardest battles

I think those predate the MIC, and even written language. See e.g. The Epic of Gilgamesh.

I like how in the old comics they’d give the superhero some weakness that would negate their powers.

For Green Lantern it was the color yellow. For the Martian Manhunter it was fire. For Wonder Woman it was being tied up.*

*Wasn’t sure if I remembered it right so I did a search. Over a million entries for ‘Wonder Woman tied up.’ Lotta comic fans out there.

WWs creator was a fairly well known bondage enthusiast. It’s not a secret, the only mystery is why DC decided to make it a part of her canon lore, even to this day.

Average neurodivergent-neurotypical interaction:

For a long time I was confused by two seemingly separate pieces of information.

1. The majority of people I seem to interact with seem to act like communications are effortless. “Just pick up the phone”. “It’s just an email”.

2. Most communications I get are terrible. Like, the number of times I need to restrain myself from typing “as I mentioned in the email below” is insane, or how often I send an email with a bulleted list of issues that need to be addressed and the response only addresses a fraction of them while the rest are ignores.

Then I realized that most people are stupid, casual, and oblivious. They put very little effort into communications, so while they seem so easy and effortless they are harming the quality of that communication.

Oh fuck it’s the lemmy shitpost police

Do not compare your vs others ability when you’re operating with a different set of tools.

Starting a fire with a hand drill is a much bigger job than with a blow torch.

To your second point:

how often I send an email with a bulleted list of issues that need to be addressed and the response only addresses a fraction of them while the rest are ignores.

I typically will reply with just the bulleted points they didn’t address and then keep sending it with less and less bullets until either they answer all points or stop replying… after the third or fourth reminder email. I make sure the previous emails are in the string and never change the title.
