None of these dispense facts. The Onion describes a reality that has more to do with the real world than what you'd find in the NYT, but none of the things they describe are true in a factual sense. They're plausible, or symptomatic of our time, or typical or whatever you want to call it, but they're not true.
Honestly I’m meeting more and more people who say they’re on the spectrum. I’m getting to the point I think either like half of humanity is on it to some degree or a shit ton of people are mis-diagnosing themselves.
Apparently I am but I’m beginning to think my mom was so convinced I was that she just kept shopping around for a childhood psychologist who would say I was. I pretty much exhibit 0 symptoms past age 27.
The spectacle may have eaten the whole world, but you can't destroy it (and we need to) by completely accepting its premise. Truth (in relation to the real world and experiences, to material reality) may be absent or obscured in the spectacle (the new york times, etc..), or may sometimes appear temporarily as a momentary burst of partial truth within falseness (the onion, etc..), but to accept either as actual truth (material reality, real social relations, real experience) is to surrender to the spectacle and be re-appropriated by it in some way, and also means you end up cut-off from material reality completely.

I think @carbohydra is bringing up the question "what is truth". There's more than just a single one-size-defines-all kind.

If it's a spectrum, we're all technically on the spectrum
Okay good point. But I assume most people know what I mean when I say “on the spectrum”
yeah I was just joshing you
:doggo-matapacos:
But one of my ex's mum said that to me when talking about a learning disability and I thought it was just the dumbest shit
