Also, tigers and laser pointers.

--- Quote from: Tova on 27 Mar 2018, 23:27 ---And I felt obliged to point out that neither the comic nor Brun nor the forumgoers were "using mental diversity as an excuse." That's a nonsense accusation, and completely different from saying she is irritating (which you have every right to say).

The first response to snufflebottoms saying that Brun's actions were annoying them was "You don't know what it is like to be on the Spectrum do you?"
--- End quote ---
Yes, I saw it.

--- Quote from: snufflebottoms on 26 Mar 2018, 20:48 ---I'm actually getting annoyed with Brun at this point.
--- End quote ---
You don't know what it's like to be on the spectrum, do you?
I may be "high functioning" but the social stuff can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Especially when nobody wants to be direct or open about things. So, it's pretty exciting when I'm pretty sure I interpreted a situation correctly in spite of that. Though like Brun, sometimes I'm dead wrong in my conclusion(s).
--- End quote ---
They were referring to a completely different behaviour to the one you're talking about.
--- End quote ---
Thank you.
BTW, it was meant as an actual question, not a criticism. Snufflebottoms declined to answer, so I wasn't going to pursue the topic ant further.

--- Quote from: fayelovesbubbles on 28 Mar 2018, 20:34 ---I really, REALLY don't think Elliot should confess his feelings to Clinton. It will make things awkward and ruin their friendship. He's already reasonably sure that Clinton doesn't like guys, it really would be best not to do this.
--- End quote ---
He's been burned once already - not sure he's going to rush into confessions of that nature again in a hurry. Time will tell, I guess.

I feel that sells Clinton a bit short. He made an honest attempt to patch things up with Emily in 3308. He is at least trying to have a healthy attitude about an unrequited crush. I think that put on the other side of things he could do just as well. Similarly, Elliot's relationship with Renee hasn't seemed to have been impacted by her own feelings towards him.
They've both done well on the other side of things, I think if Elliot confessed and Clinton didn't feel the same way, they could work through it. They'd clearly both be able to empathize with the other having been in that position.

...what? He looks kinda chunky to me. I mean, I'm sure he's got plenty of muscle underneath, but it seems pretty clear it's not all muscle.

I'm a stocky 5'5" (65cm) and 226 lbs (~102.5 kg), so the estimate feels like it lines up to me.
Any tall guys with broad shoulders want to weigh in this?
