redownloaded hiki (app for meeting other local autistic people) a few days ago and so far, no results. not even 1 match
maybe im being too picky or something but almost everyone who turns up doesnt have a bio. some of them, literally, do not have one. others, its really short or only shares useless information
a lot of people use the "about me" section to just talk about whatever diagnosis they have, which i find particularly bizarre. it's an app for autistic people, we're all autistic, who cares about specifics or when or how your diagnosis came to be? also i dont feel like i need to see everyone's list of mental illnesses before i meet them....?
example:
hey i'm auDHD and i was diagnosed at 20 years old. im a grad student studying engineering. i have OCD and severe social anxiety
.... am i supposed to want to be friends with that? that describes 90% of the people using the app. whats unique about you? what are your SPINs?? for gods sake its an autism app why is not a single person listing their SPINs???? nobody is writing anything about their personality or interests or anything that actually makes them a Person.....

*someone asks me the simple question of what my favorite show is*
Me giving a 5hr long disclaimer before actually answering and saying "I swear I don't like it that much" and explaining myself to hopefully reduce the chance of being teased:

this is so nerdy of me, but i did a fun little challenge where i tried to guess the current WDC standings at this point in the season, and then compared it to how it actually is (and obviously made a graph from it) and it made me realise i have no clue whats happening in the bottom 10
i recommend you have a try just to see which driver is doing worse than you think they are. Hence, spoilers under cut (no cheating)
this was in prep of comparing different point systems and how they'd affect this seasons standings (i want to see the midfield changes) so hopefully you'll see that soon
my guesses:
when i was listing it took me going through my list twice to realise i had forgotten alex. i had a blank 12th place for so long trying to figure out who i'd left out - i checked the alpha tauri drivers mutliple times thinking i had forgotten one of them
also i did not realise devries has had a higher finish than ricciardo (12th in monaco vs 13th in hungary). also kmag is having a much worse season (by points) than i thought he was wow
and if you were wondering, the correlation between my guess and the actual wdc is 0.973 (pretty good on my part :D)

i was raised to be very polite and whatever and i get it. i like to be nice to people. but the whole "good morning! how was your day" and small talk stuff is just. unnecessary. i would find talking to people much more pleasant if we could initiate conversations with cool facts or interesting topics. i want to discuss interesting things not exchange niceties that everyone lies about anyway. i mean, if someone says 'how's it going' you have to say 'good' or whatever but you can't say 'life sucks can we move on from this?' it's silly to me. what i really love is when i meet someone and they have absolutely no filter. like yessss tell me your whole life story right now i need to know. it is much more interesting than the weather (though the weather is a good subject sometimes but i may just think so bc where i live has a tendency for wild weather. when it's good it's boring but starting a conversation with 'yeah i got locked out of the buildings when they auto-locked during the windstorm and had to grab a bench bc the pressure was enough to knock me over and the locks on the doors were constantly turning on and off so i had to figure out how to open the doors when i could sneak inside so that i didn't abandon other people to the brutal winds' like. that's fine. i like that but normal weather talk is boring)

なに?!
I am struggling to learn the characters, lmao. I should make flashcards or smth.
And the way Duolingo is teaching it is weird, like they taught a few words then moved on to super short statements but like; I understand how to phrase it now at least and can recognize those words! Still struggle reading the hiragana (and katakana)
Don't get me started with the Kanji, I'm not there yet,
