Ever touch s/politics ?

I've read the sub(s) but don't recall ever participating, even on Reddit.

I like to read, but typically don't like engaging in broad-spectrum subs where there are arguments/debates about which side is best. In my view, nothing gets accomplished except everyone just sperging out on each other so they can make themselves feel better and righteous about their opinions.

I live in the USA though, and I'm sure that's also clouded my opinion of debate/conversation.

Please don't use 'sperging', if you can help it.

How come? I have never heard this word before, just curious.

Heres the definition:

"To rant with great anger or intensity about pointless minutiae, as someone with an asperger's-related fixation is prone to do."

While I can see why they used it, it doesn't change the fact that it's a derogatory term towards autistic people like myself. Just like I wouldn't call someone's behaviour 'f*ggy' or call someone a 'homo', the same respect should be shown to others. There's other ways to say that someone is ranting about minutiae.

Ahhh, okay. Thank you for explaining! I did not think to relate it to the similar spelling of aspergers.

You're right, and I'm sorry if I did cause hurt or offense to you or anyone else here. I said it without thinking, and that wasn't cool.
