Hey, autists. What's something that irritates you that absolutely nobody else/a severe minority seems to care about? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Title says it all. What really irks you that you don't get to complain about much without catching some glances? Seriously, get as passionate as you'd like. I assume you're an expert.

Consumerism and throwing away easily repairable things. Perceiving some brands as superior for whatever fucking reason even if you explain why that's not the case. Cheap stuff that breaks apart by merely looking at it from the wrong angle. "Cost optimization".

Not really autism-specific things but holy hell does it get me going.

Yeah and literally everything else in this thread.

Edit: The quality of search results. Jeeesus Christ has it become ridiculously hard to find anything human-written beneath all these AI trash sites. Fuck those ad-riddled, information-deprived, time-wasting pieces of shit.

    My autistic partner does the second one. No MATTER how many arguments bring why apple just is objectively a bad choice from the price tag to their products. They still only want apple phones. Instead of breaking out they are going "well i cant get any other phone than apple because of my apple music and apple in-ears."

    I guess it depends how long you keep yer stuff. Apple has been a great choice for me even though I’ve gone with their more expensive phones—I kept my first iPhone for 4.5 years, my second one for almost six years, and I’m on my third to which I didn’t NEED to upgrade but I wanted better low-light kitty pictures and 120hz. Overall, the cost for the longevity evens out to be pretty good. Different story if someone upgrades their phone every year or two.

    Oh yes, this one pisses me off also: consumerism. I am anti consumption and when I see the amount of consumption, unneeded, useless, consumption in the world i get.. Mad? Sad? Disappointed? We are in a climate emergency, the main reason being capitalism, which might just be a synonym for "consumption". The marketing that is done for increasing levels of consumption is also pathetic, infuriating and criminal.
