That's not normal, and pointing out that "just the way it is" is terrible reasoning doesn't make you an aspie. Maybe if more people had these conversations we'd have fewer terrible industries.

I had that conversation with a doctor. She wanted a diamond. She knew ALL the issues with diamonds. I said, "and knowing all that, kids arms hacked off, you still want a diamond?"

"Yes!!" And she was giddy at the prospect.

I felt confirmation in that moment for having broken up her years before that.

Another few years after that conversation she got her diamond -- after gaining 100lbs and getting a boob job.

I really don't understand how some people think.

Come, my good fellow. Don't exaggerate. I'd bet good money that she didn't gain an ounce over ninety pounds.
