I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re not stupid

I wouldn’t put that past me.

I understand the cool down period.

600 upvoters and counting got it just fine.

Good for them. Twist the “you’re an idiot” knife a bit more, there’s plenty of space in the small of my back.

So, again, who the hell says “activity” instead of “already hung out with someone”?

Is the part of the joke that the person is dysfunctional in turning people down? Wouldn’t a healthy introvert turn someone down in an appropriate manner?

A well regulated person could say something like:

“already did that with someone/you recently”. I’ll catch up with you another time.

If you count inane AI babblings as a microblog, then yes.

You are being downvoted because you are basically saying that if you relate to the joke, there’s something wrong with you and you need help.

That is incorrect, and kinda offensive. You made a lot of people feel like you think they are fucked in the head.

Lets review.

The joke has the premise that an introvert did an activity yesterday. Let go with a mundane activity: doing the dishes.

The punchline is that because the introvert did an activity (even a non-social activity), they are now prevented from catching up with a friend for several days.

I assume that this is a dysfunctional person. But you’re telling me that this is okay, and not dysfunctional.

You’re using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn’t support the war.

What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?

Edit: I find it amusing that the article you shared is partially blocked (censored) unless I sign up to the NYT.

These sources show that the New York Times supported the war because it poorly reported the idea that Iraq had WMDs. The NYT did not do its due dilligence, intentionally mislead the public, or a mix of factors.

Exactly. “Oh, aren’t these nerds just so inappropriate? Haha, laugh at them being actually broken while we frame it as normal. canned laugh track”

Yes, it is a joke, and it doesn’t land because it assumes “this is what introverts do, haha, isn’t it funny? Introverts are so quirky”.

I’m claiming that the premise of the joke is faulty.

Edit 3: Thanks for downvoting. I see the problem. The joke is just written poorly. Here is a better version:

Friend: wanna hang out tomorrow?

Me: I hung out yesterday. Please wait the three day recovery period to submit another hang out request.

Social anxiety =/= introverted

Edit: If this is not social anxiety, it still isn’t introversion.

“I actually performed an activity yesterday.” What healthy introvert would claim a non-descript, mundane activity would put them out of interacting with anyone for days?

Edit 2: Electric Boogaloo: If you downvoted, please seek therapy. You are not healthy. Life is easier than your mind is making it.

If you’re wanting to practice soldering, and build a small, cheap project at the same time, I’d recommend cheap project kits from Aliexpress (there are probably equivalents on Amazon). Do projects that are through hole soldering first, before attempting SMD components.

There are plenty to choose from and they’re cheap, so if it doesn’t work then it doesn’t matter much.

• LED Christmas Trees
• Digital Clocks
• Bluetooth speaker - the SMD components are done for you.
• FM Radio Kits
• LED Sound Spectrum Display - Lots of practice with this one

There will be plenty of Youtube videos of people putting these things together if you want to know more.

Have fun!

Up and down votes are not a “agree / disagree” button. They are for dis/encouraging posts. You can upvote a post you disagree with but can see that it is useful for the discussion.

The most likely scenario is that the person with first-hand knowledge misinterpreted the situation.

Exactly. Which is why I started with questions so you could explain more. That’s how a conversation works and prevents it from getting toxic.

These poor men and their sensitive feelings…

Case and point.

“Hey, Disney. Can I tell you to suck my dick?”

“Will it make me money?”

“Yes, lots of money.”

“Will I have to actually change my practices in a meaningful way?”

“No”

“Lets do it. Now will you excuse me, I have legal battles to fight with the poors.”

Wake me up when the fines overshadow the profits.

Using Twitter was the mistake.

Erm, actually 🤓 potatoes that are fried will have a different texture even in the stomach.
