I'd like to understand how or why this reminds you of George Carlin, but yeah, Carlin is legit, and he is to be missed.

This is bit too extreme for me. English is my third language and I have hurt people at multiple occasions because of poor choice of words. I wish it goes away, so that my life can be easier. It is not easy to live in society as an autistic person and I have no interest in learning manners of society when I believe I have more meaningful interests to pursue. If you are a social person, you will not like my opinion and it's fine. I am used to that.

- endswapper 10y agoThanks for the follow-up. That wasn't a challenge of any sort. I was curious because I enjoy Carlin, I didn't connect the dots, but I understand the train of thought now.
- aq3cn 10y agoSorry for cryptic and indirect. Next time, I will be more clear about what I want to say. I understand no one here is looking for putting pieces of puzzle together.
