: ...at Duke -- and also my shrinks. The bananas and kinda darkly amusing is that, for contrast, I am not good at the whole social cues and customs thing, at the unspokens that you're just supposed to know because you just are supposed to know and that is bad if you don't.
Hence my use of the term #ResidentAlien to describe myself since about 2013.
: In my own head and life, I have long called this 'involuntary extrapolation' and "involuntary calculator'. I learned to manage it when I was between maybe ages 14 and 22. "Grotesque but useful" is apt only sometimes.

: I want anti-Trump ads to show his speeches and at 50% speed.

If Biden’s decision not to run causes you to declare that you’re “done” with politics and willing to let a would-be dictator destroy our democracy, let me ask you this question: would you feel the same way if he had DIED in office? #Politics
