I'm not autistic and I absolutely hate the heat. I hate to sweat doing barely anything, sleeping naked and still feeling overheated, and not having an aircondition at home. (Europe). Meanwhile every summer is getting hotter and hotter.
Seriously privileged people in the US can be so entitled, they seem to not know life outside of their own little air-conditioned bubble. They take everything for granted and it's so ridiculous.
It's almost like there are more countries in the world than the US. And more cultures in the world than white America.
no one brought up the US. Plenty of old homes and apartments don't have AC. You can buy them yourself and stick it in the window. Plenty of non white folk in the US have AC. hth
Implicit racism; up there with “white kids and poor kids” from Joe Biden. The idea that Black/African American=Poor and in the hood, is really 60s era.
Jesus Christ you sound like an asshole.
I'm autistic and to have this level of reaction to someone attempting to agree with you is just vile.
You need to take a look at yourself ffs
peak sanity here
Oh dear, I'm so sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings!! It's so hard to understand other people's feelings. One of the hardest parts of being ND.
You can still take responsibility for being an ass even if you didn’t realise it immediately. Don’t double down and blame the victim.
Also OC is from Europe
