The Official Off Topic Thread

It's not rude as a normal person perceives rudeness.

You need to view Crystal as a child, but one with above average intelligence. Intellectually she's quite intelligent, yet naive, but unfortunately she has the emotional maturity of a child.

If it helps, a gifted seven year old or an autistic adult; either with help you to understand her postings.

If its not off-topic, then it shouldn't be in the off-topic thread. And if the off-topic thread is for on-topic(things related to AsPD) things which are off-topic, then it should be empty, because nothing can be on-topic and off-topic at the same time.

I think you're confusing on topic with under topic

'The Official Off Topic Thread' (in the Aspd forum) is not on topic (i.e. about Aspd) it's under topic (which just refers to location).

in terms of defining topic (i.e. on/off topic), the location of 'The Official Off Topic Thread' in the Aspd forum merely defines what is off-topic (i.e. 'Unrelated to Aspd').

there is a similar thread in the Asperger's forum asperger-syndrome/topic77140.html

the location of 'The Official Off Topic Thread' in that^ forum merely defines what is off-topic also (i.e. unrelated to Asperger's).

topically, the off-topic threads in both forums are more related to each other than each is related to the disorder category of their respective forums.

So when people post large pictures of sneezing polar bears or a bowl of popcorn with too much butter on it in order to make a point in a snide, passive aggressive way, that's off topic but still somehow related to ASPD because it frequently happens here?

I wanna see those polar bear pictures.

how am I naive? I've experienced more harsh realities than most people from a very young age.

I think your confusing believing in the reality of possibilities or what some might call 'idealism' with naivety.

I find pursuing the difficult thrilling. It's a lifestyle. I consider your life mundane, and I have no problem failing and ending up homeless or dead in pursuit of something better. Life itself is worthless to me; living is what's worth it, and that means pushing yourself and others to realize the greatest happiness or collectively kicking the bucket should we fail in our quest. Either way we all end up dead, so there is no point in living a mundane or 'Just getting by' life because you're just postponing death rather than rising above the fear of it to realize the best living humans can imagine within the reality of possibilities.

gifted eh? sounds like you're privileging some abilities over others according to what you've been taught by your masters who want to fit you snugly into conventional life. no thanks.

that's Greatem's logic.

Apparently this is how we're supposed to outsmart each other here.

Oh I almost forgot, I need a cryptic, meaningless slogan to go with it.

But if you sink my boat, how will it float?

Sick ####.

Greatem,

another way of putting it is: the thread and content within the thread insofar as it conforms to the purpose of the thread is off topic in relation to the Aspd forum, but on topic in relation to the thread.

it's relative.

The off-topic thread in the AsPD forum is for topics unrelated to AsPD.
The off-topic thread in the aspie forum is for topics unrelated to aspie.

When i made the paradox i was playing with words and meanings.
