What is that 'open secret'?

One way roads and split highways exist, but even on any typical divided road, you obviously can still drive the wrong way. Either way, you're conpletely missing the point. That phrase is used as a way of saying that if literally everyone else disagrees with you, then it's a lot more likely that you're the one who is wrong.

In this case, autism really doesn't have an "opposite". neurodevelopment is incredibly complex, and while some aspect exist on a spectrum, others don't. (and the traits or development patterns that do exist on a spectrum in this case exist mostly between autistic and allistic traits, not between autism and some "opposite" pattern.

And the other traits you mentioned exist on their own orthoganal axes.

No reason to carry knives in public

Knives are so useful, I think carrying a multitool with multiple decently sized blades is very reasonable.

I love pickles, Kalamata olives, kimchi, and artichoke hearts. I'd say I like everything else, although I've had some bad green olives and am not crazy about capers.

Have you ever had homegrown sundried cherry tomatoes? I think there's a huge difference in flavor between good and bad tomatoes

I made this post in response to seeing a low quality AI video that was literally an ad for a company.

I'm fine with actually high quality AI stuff (labeled, preferably), but there seems to be almost none.

It's been everywhere for a while, but the fediverse seemed like a last bastion up until very recently where I've noticed a change.

Is this the end of human-based online articles and interactions?

I sure hope not. At least it's just a few posts here that are generated for now. If it ever gets to the level of Reddit, I might just leave.
