        I swear, nobody on Lemmy gets sarcasm without being slapped in the face with it.

                Well if there wasn’t an organism, there would be no autism. I still don’t get why people bully us, while their image of autism is heavily influenced by stereotypes and old research.

                  It’s because inside jokes are a kind of social currency. As are arbitrary prohibitions on certain social behaviors, such as fucking swearing, goddamnit. Those in power use these contrived conventions to maintain power distance and repress you.

            Well, we do what we can, but there’s only so much acetaminophen (paracetamol for our British friends) you can give to pregnant women.

                And I, for one, think you deserve to know the truth about how N-Acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) affected us when we were yet in the womb.

                    Our bioscience friends have noted a correlation between pre-natal Tylenol (I don’t know where you’re from, so I don’t know the trade name that will be familiar to you) exposure, autism, and ADHD. It’s still controversial, but I’m of the opinion that the purveyors of the world’s most popular analgesic are muddying the waters, not unlike Big Tobacco did decades ago.

            Or grew up around conservatives and heard that shit being said unironically.

            I still hear people fondly reminisce about leaded gas. If you think I’m missing a joke, no. They will drive to airports to buy the leaded gas they sell there.

      Not so much could as did.

      Smoking section: 20 rows, next to the air filters.

      Non-smoking section: any seat where the ashtray in the armrest didn’t work
