crunching on data (it's yummy I like it)
as a tranny i would always love to drive to either daycares or playgrounds and undress completely naked and run after all the kids i see like their gold bars with legs and after cops would get called on me id like to drive over 125MPH to avoid getting pulled over and hide in any public bathrooms like the dirty faggy tranny i am and wait for any victim i can jump and molest on haha
in autistic but ive never had a true special interest. i wish i did. i even have a hard time just getting and keeping hobbies
I like raising poultry in my parents’ backyard : )
I currently have 3 silkies, 2 Salmon Faverolles, 2 Cayuga ducks, 2 runner ducks, a pair of Lady Amherst’s pheasants, and 8 roller pigeon mutts.
When I was a kid I had no friends at school, so during recess I would just hide in a bush and reread “Storey’s Guide to Raising Poultry” over and over again. I’ve gotten significantly more normie-passing since then but my autistic fixation remains. Too bad it wasn’t something like computers that could actually earn me money, but at least I get free eggs.
boring answer but I love Art, wish I didn't suck ass at it
That’s cool, we should be friends, I like old games too.
My special interest is From Software storytelling. 0:

pinball
music (annoying music nerd with a rym account who plays bass)
Have some more minor hyperfixations as wel (most recent being judge dredd) but they come and go.
Anyone who uses RYM, Mal, Goodreads or Letterboxed fundamentally misunderstands art.
how do people just sit down and learn a new language? it took me years to learn japanese even after tons of anime and anki and even now i still have to actively use it to remember it.
Oh dw ik. My autism just makes me want to rank things. I recgonize that said rankings are stupid. I only do them cus they make my brain happy and help me catalog what ive listened to in something easily refrenceable.
Good answer, carry on as you are anon. Toys in a line, I get the gist. Sorry for beefing you.
NTA, but IMO you need to learn grammar, not just vocab memorization. And then for the vocab, you need to be etymology nerd and memorize little stories for the words.
That and if you've done a language in an intensive, course setting (e.g. university, immersion class on immigration), you learn how to learn quickly. If you're just doing duolingo and someone else's anki flashcards, then you are on slow-mode.
t. English, French, Classical Latin
psychology
this is the one constant ive had as an autist, im actually audhd so ive had my fair share of hyperfixations as well
Its ok i understand most music nerds and rym users have a braon the size of a pea </3
me 10hrs into my HOIV run
grammar for me is the easiest part because it's just following rules. but once i get to like a couple thousand words it just becomes a slog of memorizing more words and unless i spend a lot of time using/consuming the language i forget them pretty easily. it makes me wonder if all of the polyglots i see are really fully functional in each of those languages or it's more about just getting to a particular level.

Honestly, that. You get to the level where you can understand words from context, or read an in-language dictionary (rather than a translation dictionary) and you're golden.
And whoever "invented" spaced repetition learning did the equivalent of watching someone play Starcraft and going, "I see, so to be good at Starcraft you should practice typing up to 180 WPM and precision mouse inputs..." It's fucking bullshit. Just read goddamn books in the language.
gnosticism, gematria, tarot, astrology, etc.
BDSM (mainly the aesthetic component, leather and latex)
taxidermy
goth, industrial, black metal
transgressive fiction and extreme horror
vintage photography
conspiracy theories
comic books
coding and the old web (i.e. Geocities, Angelfire, etc.)
criminal psychology
entheogenic plants
Brutalist architecture
guess my letter
i guess that makes sense. spaced repetition learning for me is crucial, i think a better comparison is if starcraft required you to memorize 5,000 different specific inputs and you decided to learn them all by just watching people play. like yeah with words you have etymology and context but the amount of books i would have to read to see an uncommon word once let alone enough times to establish that initial mental link i feel like would take eons longer.
an uncommon word
But that's the thing, if it's an uncommon word, then does recognizing it at first sight matter?
One of the words I remember from studying for the AP English exam, even to this very day, is "bivouac". The teachers stressed that word since it was a common "gotcha" that impossible to guess from context but could make-or-break the understanding of a paragraph or dialogue.
To be fair, it did actually appear on the exam that year! But I've rarely seen it in the 2 decades since that exam. Even in contexts where it could, logically, be used (e.g. military, outdoors), people still prefer to say shit like "pitch camp" instead.
If you're reading a book, chances are the author has a particular diction and if they use an uncommon word once, they will use it again before the end of the book. It becomes a thematic or plot device. Like a character who is "bifauxnen" or the "cipher" that everyone is trying to get their hands on.
And if you don't catch the word at first sight, you may still get it from the context. Like, if someone wants to get an "Americano" and you don't know that word, but then someone else says they prefer tea you're like, "oh, yeah, that caffeinated drink."
Honestly, the reason polyglots are considered high IQ are probably that above-average capability to figure things out on the fly, from context. Words are just the starting point, but the skillset is transferable to more abstract concepts and ideas.

what I’m assuming are the Pokemon ruby/sapphire special edition GBA SPs
Good taste anon, I love the plushies too
mtf. wow really difficult
You think you are fleunt in English? ah but what about this antiquated French loanword hon hon hon
You don't just sit down and learn by yourself, you go to classes amd other environments where you can get immersion. You meed the guidance of a native speaker, especially early on when you're working hard on your pronunciation. Go to a Chinese restaurant and practice ordering in Mandarin. Go on Fiverr or something and find a Swahili tutor. Join a Muay Thai gym with Thai coaches, practice your Thai with them. Books, apps, videos, recordings, all of that stuff is a supplement to regular immersion practice, or you'll struggle to get anywhere.
everything and nothing (ADHD manmoder)
computers :>
ive also watched hazbin hotel 40 times
This desu although I have to add that for languages with larger online communities you can immerse surprisingly well from home by watching streams and youtube vids, and maybe supplementing it by hopping on some voice chats and reading books.
T. Accidentally did this with Japanese, now capable of understanding more basic shit than I thought possible
Ty, luv to collect oddities and stuff
Mostly stuff
I like making flowers in blender.
foreign languages
drawing
esoterica
doesn't know the word bivouac
dawg so many war memoirs use that word. small, one-person tents are today called bivvy sacks, insofar as they resemble sleeping bags and are used to bivouac. any Anon Babble tranny should have read more than enough military history to be familiar with common field jargon. oscar mike, etc etc
