Andrew Robinson, that actor who played Garak, intentionally added that subtext.

Some things are symptoms of both autism and ADHD.
They are not only restricted to autism.
These comments bother me as much as the ones that say "everyone has that problem" because it is very difficult to carve out a single place for ADHD.
I was absolutely gonna say "wrap money around a brick and throw it through a window."
Of course I'm from the anarchist instance so brick hurling is my love language.
(Pro tip. Make sure there's also enough to replace the window.)
Oh but on a more friendly note, please feel free to look up tips for writing for ADHD readability. Many of us see big blocks of text like that and our eyes straight up skip it.
Okay but Armpits Esquire has the kind of whimsy I love best.
This is why I'd make such a fantastic vampire.
Ever left the home with a deep, resentful glare burning through the back of your skull?
Yes, but that's on trauma, not on weird social rules on genders. (I'm a woman.)
I promise you my potato soup is not a sauce.
It's a cream soup and it's essentially weird mashed potato when cold.
You're characterizing a whole spectrum with one terrible example.
I support everyone being called whatever they want but I'm not on here super often so I didn't see the post about the name change and this client doesn't have display names. :(
My least favorite word as a first responder: "ejected."
I'm taking a Business Management class and every single time I come across a piece of legislation passed as a result of some corporation corruption, or greed, or regulations as a result of an oil spill or something, I google the name + Heritage Foundation.
If I was taking a shot every time this happened, I'd be too shitfaced to drive.

"Honey? Where did you put the hide-a-key the last time I locked myself out of the house?"
(lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Literally realized, "how will I put this stuff in the car in order to have my hands free to grab the keys if I don't have the keys" and turned around just in time to see the door fully closed.
And I always turn the latch to lock itself when I step outside, or I'd never remember to lock the door.
Thank goodness for the hide-a-key with a house key stuck in the filth on the underside of my car.
I happen to recall that in this scene, she's speaking nonsense Italian words (she doesn't actually know Italian) but the first time they show it (and the viewer doesn't know she can't speak Italian) they show Speaking in Italy... and later when they're showing that she's saying words, but they're nonsense, it still says 'Speaking in Italy'!
This is not a big deal but it is entirely wrong. Why do I care so much about this?!
(The close caption is wrong in a lot of places on this copy of The IT Crowd, but that's the most ridiculous.)
Edit: Later in the episode they show a speakerphone, on which, an Italian man is speaking. The caption for this? "Voicemail in Italy." What!

I felt like this deserved it's own post after making it for a thread.

Dustin off that old meme folder but like, trying not to flood...
Constantly forced to be an investigator in my own life.
It's never not pills for me.

It's fair to be oblivious to sexual and romantic subtext. At least you're aware that you have that issue.
