It's costing me so much extra in oat lattes at my favourite cafes. Too much distraction at home and not enough caffeine at the library. I also feel miles safer leaving my stuff on a cafe table while I use the bathroom then leaving it in a library... I wish libraries were drug infested sex dens, then I would feel safer in them. Oh well...

Right now I'm watching this video about the lac operon in E.coli. It's the switch in their DNA that let's them digest lactose.

    I read this as "I need caffeine to function and libraries don't have it". If libraries are associated with school (I can follow that association!) then it makes sense as a reply to this meme.

    Look, I love libraries but I don't think it's fair to assume everyone has had good experiences in them. Theft was a big problem in my university library (as was voyeurism). It doesn't mean this person hates libraries as a concept.

    I mean I'm just assuming and sharing how I read it. You and I are both speculating!

    I wanted to reply that it's okay to not understand every comment. Human experience is wider than any individual can comprehend and autistic people reflect that diversity as well. I personally find it easier if I assume good intentions and approach things with curiosity if I really do need to understand what someone meant.

    I fail at that standard a lot lol but the overall result is good, I think.

    I also know if someone tries to tell me I'm wrong about something they have no way of knowing or they misunderstand what I'm saying and argue against a point I'm not making I go feral real quick! Thanks persistent demand for autonomy! Having that experience also helps me be a bit more open to understanding the way I read something might not be what they mean.

    You are literally in the wrong thread. This isn't the "maga hates libraries again" thread.

    Oh, well I don't hate libraries? I literally would be more comfortable in them if they were what those fox news hosts said they were.

    That's great! You should definitely go say that in the thread about it!
