Anyone wanna show off to the rest of the class?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I could probably name most. I could not place most. I also could not do that with us states.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago

I can place almost all of them but some of the small ones in West Africa throw me off. Burundi, Malawi, Rwanda are also ones that often throw me off when placing them. Lesotho and Eswatini are obviously easy to mix up. Zambia and Tanzania also often throw me off but that one's a bit easier to remember for me because, spiritually, I just find it easier to place Freddy Mercury's birthplace in the East coast of Africa than in the middle of the South; that one's just a very weird vibe thing.

I can name em, but placing them will throw me and if I get one wrong everything is fucked cause I mostly remember Africa by bordering countries. Gotta be in relation to one another

The quiz I do is just naming them so you can try

Nah, being emotionally stunted by the patriarchy isn't the same as neurodivergence. One of them can be fixed with therapy and introspection and it doesnt prevent you from participating fully in society; the other is a legit disability that makes you into an other and is socially disciplined. Maleness more often than not carries power, neurodivergent people have any power they could have taken from them.

Yeah, my male friends except one almost hide from me anything serious in their life including their job, girlfriends, etc. I guess I do too (edit: I actually live an embarrassing life of failure and foibles though, that needs to be ignored and lied about), and my liberal sister is similar to not wanting to talk about anything serious for fear of being political or unpleasant.

You are completely correct. I apologise if my flippant comment was a generalisation. As both a male and a neurodivergent, I find it difficult to separate the two.

It's all good, i didn't assume any ill-intent. In classic ND fashion I just took the joke way too seriously and went to town trying to explain why it was innacurate. Apologies if my response was too negative or made you feel bad.

[–] tiny_mouse@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

All good. ❤️
