This exhibit ought to be the final nail for this case. An ad actually showing a child wielding an AR-15 and justifying it with a Bible verse? Unforgivable.

It’s fun to know that after forty years, the #Transformers franchise still has some mysteries worth discovering for collectors.

Neurotypicals: “This person likes me, so I’ll talk to them about things I find interesting.”

#Autistic people: “The only way this person will like me is if I don’t tell them about the weird things I find interesting.”

Not what I expected! “This new die-cast transformable figure will be up for pre-order on May 21, 2024 9am PT for $80.00.“

I sure wish it was larger (it's the standard 1:64 Hot Wheels scale), but I doubt it could stand for long under the weight of that much die-cast.

I love my #husky, especially the derpy face she makes when she’s on her back waiting for (or receiving) belly rubs.

@actuallyautistic Does anybody else here find that when they’re in a new place—a store, someone’s house, wherever—that they have an urge to walk all throughout the place and see where everything is?

I never thought about it before, but today I wondered if it’s because I unconsciously want to see all the distractions and novelties so they don’t, you know, distract me from what I’m supposed to be doing the rest of the time that I’m there. Just a little #ADHD self-management.

Optimus Timelord’s stop-motion #Transformers animations are impeccable, even when he’s using the G1 toys.

I find it interesting that the #Transformers franchise has tackled Cybertronian alt modes repeatedly in recent years:

• Siege (toys and streaming show)
• Bumblebee/TF:One (movie and toys)
• Origin (toys based on G1 pilot)
• War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron (games, Generations toys and Studio Series toys)

…and I for one am loving it. As long as the new fans don’t get confused which toys come from which continuity, I say let’s keep reinventing those robot alien space cars over and over again!

mighty_orbot, 1 month ago to Transformers

Huh, from the #TransformersOne trailer straight to the #Transformers Studio Series line. I honestly didn’t expect that.

I’ve been streaming the tv series “ER” from the beginning lately, and the more I think about Peter Benton as a character the more I think he was probably an undiagnosed #autistic.

He’s hyper-focused on his chosen subject; he expects everyone else to be as focused as he is; he‘ll often talk to people while walking away from them; and he has very little instinct for office politics and personal relationships.

My partner thinks he’s just arrogant, but they sometimes think the same about me, too.

mighty_orbot, 2 months ago to Transformers

Hmmm. Do I want a third-party Rosanna figure badly enough to pay $90 for one?

I spent all this last week at work fixing bugs in someone else’s code.

And by “code”, I mean low-code scripts created using a user-friendly “clicks-not-code” solution that was designed to cut down on the time required to customize software.

Turns out that even low-code solutions still require a WHOLE LOT of variable checking, edge-case testing, and optimization before we move it into production.

Anyway, this is what I think of whenever someone says that AI will eliminate professional coders.

Why do neurotypicals get mad if I don’t ask them how they’re doing, when the whole reason I don’t ask is because they consistently volunteer the information anyway?

“I know my code backwards and forwards” — listen, I just had to school you in front of the dev team on how to use “Find All” to search your codebase, maybe you shouldn’t be too cocky right now.
