President Obama plans to return five percent of his salary to Treasury.

Man, my internet diagnosis skills are amazing. Totally called it.

One of the diagnosis I've had from psychiatrists when I was younger was Aspergers, but I put it in the same pile with all the rest as something they pulled out of their ass. I don't think I fit the definition. [insert Aspie paradox joke]

Doesn't Elok have that? I don't see how Aeson has any excuse for being pedantic and stupid.

It's an excuse for being pedantic, but not an excuse for being stupid. I find Elok to be neither.

What the hell happened to this site's archive? I tried to find the old thread about Aeson's condition and there's apparently no threads saved from between 2004 and 2012?

edit: Found it. Thanks, Google.

ps Your memory is apparently horrible, HC.

Oh man now I remember that thread. A classic

Now I REALLY want to read the thread this was referring to. But I can't find it.

Yah, like the part where you were lost in the conversation, and incorrect in your statements. Classic HC.

I don't need an excuse. Being pedantic is code for "he pointed out where my statement was factually incorrect", and as such is something I'm quite proud to be labelled as by the sheep here. The stupid part is obviously not applicable.

Plus you're deaf ...

Yep. Tell me, do you find it difficult being an aspie to understand human emotions?

You're welcome.

I find it very difficult being an Aspie, as I am not one. As much as Drake tries to help out, it's hard to keep up the charade. As for understanding human emotions, it depends on the person and their emotion. I usually face challenges head-on, so it's hard for me to understand the cowardice of running away from a discussion or putting someone on ignore for instance. (I mean, I could understand running from something actually dangerous, like a real fight ... but an internet discussion? WTF?)

In other cases I do understand some of the failings of others. For instance, I myself was once bigoted against homosexuals. It's something I grew out of in my late teens. I can thus have some level of empathy for people like yourself which still exhibit such bigotry. I have hope, stemming from my own experience, that someday you can become a better person in that regard.

Which one, the hearing problem or being mentally retarded?

[Aeson]

I find it somewhat ironic that in a thread discussing my unnecessary verbosity, gribbler has managed to make the same joke I did, only he used 3x as many words ... (this statement intentionally worded to get us back in the proper reality)

[Hauldren Collider]

You're welcome.

Where can I read up on the Philippines sex palace?

Man, my internet diagnosis skills are amazing.

You have certainly outdone yourself by matching the incorrect analysis of an incompetent psychologist.
