Of all the avatars I’ve ever used, my favourite was made of a bit of MRI of my own brain.
Part of the satisfaction was to have long discussions with moderators saying the avatar is supposed to show the person - and arguing that the brain is actually what I am as a person, not my face.
I pretty often enjoy finding different ‘well, technically…’ loopholes, though mostly not for exploiting them, but for the sheer joy of pointing them to someone and chucking together over such a joke.
This, together with puns, together with all “imagine this and this, wouldn’t it technically be that?” type of jokes is basically my favourite genre of humor.
And my relationship with humor is kinda complicated: I love funny things, but I often don’t find pure comedies funny(while can have a good chuckle in some straight-face side jokes in some procedurals or adventures), and the main reason is I don’t find it funny when someone struggles, someone is getting hurt, someone is ridiculed or put in an awkward/cringy situation. Someone falling isn’t funny, someone failing isn’t funny, someone put in a situation when they are clearly experiencing fear, shame or disgust isn’t funny for me.
Maybe I just empathize too much: imagining myself in their place makes me want to run away, hide, stop existing, so I just can’t feel any fun there.
But give me a good chuckle with an unexpected pun, give me those “technically..” jokes, give me clever side remarks - that may be soo funny!
Basically, for me, in all the movies, books, shows:
Chuckle > laugh
Maybe it has something to so with RSD and fear to be laughed at(based on previous experiences)
Is it something common among folks? I imagine it may have something to do with and affective empathy?
What is your relationships with different kinds of humor?

I laughed aloud several times when reading Cryptonomicon.

(Tangent: My favourite book by Stephenson is anathem; it's not all that bloated (in comparison))

The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow.

This was a great book! Graeber and Wengrow integrate new archeological discoveries with anthropology and turn common belief on its side. In the same way that we used to think that evolution was a progressive march to new and improved species, we also thought that human development was on an upward arc to better things, with capitalism and

I second that.

This book challenges a lot of common implicit and received assumptions about the history of civilizations.

(Also, it filled quite a lot of knowledge gaps I didn't even know I had ...)

it's definitely worth reading.

This explains so much o.o

Does anybody else here feel the same?

It certainly describes how I define my identity, too.

I rarely ever address anyone by name. There are people I've known for decades whose names I've never even used when addressing them directly.

Is that an thing?

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic

I don't know but I don't do that either.

It would feel artificial (except in a group setting when it's important to specify who a question is meant for). I would never do it naturally.

And conversely, when someone redundantly uses my name (or what they think is my name, anyway), it can feel creepy and annoying (or sales-person-ish) too.

(e.g. (very colloquial) germanic verbs)

where the information is mainly conveyed by prefixes while the stem is more or less a dummy / just sets the mood

as in "rumgurken" which has nothing at all to do with cucumbers

is there a name for that?
