I troll for laughs, troll other trolls at every opportunity, and do it because I'm amused at the reactions I get.
I don't do it because I'm an aspie, nor do I "blame" it on that, it's that kind of dumbassery that makes everyone jump into "OH NO ITS A DEVIANTART UNIQUE BUTTERFLY WANNABE-ASPIE" mode. |

| I am always surprised that other people don't know what I do, think like I think, etc. I still feel like Jane will look where Sally hid the jelly bean, though I know that isn't the right answer. I've got horrific theory of mind, I just do my best to compensate for it, takes a lot of processing power... |

| I remember thinking school would be a big library with teachers walking around who helped you learn. I didn't expect there to be so many kids, nor did I think many-on-one would be effective for teaching. I was quite disappointed, and bothered by the extremely simplistic activities we did. "Is this a... |

| As you point out, Time is not a constant. Flying in a jet, in orbit, clocks record different time. Time is a direction, clocks record motion along that direction. It isn't just a mechanical thing though, you can bounce light between mirrors, or accelerate short-lived particles, and observe the redu... |

| Rap doesn't generally focus on the structure of the sound, bland walls of undifferentiated beats just don't do it for me. If I want simplistic musical structure, I'll listen to The White Stripes, or the song that has been stuck in my head for several days now (Irrational Number, Paul Nordquist, link... |

| The speed of an electromagnetic field is a bit older than relativity theory. GPS is modern Loran, for the distances involved, neither relitivty or quantum apply. It is just time and distance. Physics claims the work of others, and has not produced. It is babble with no proof. It has become a religi... |

| Numeric-Audio-Visuo-Spatial is fairly rare, Calendar-Spatial is kinda a form of it. A calendar is a 3D spiral, with the days of the week lining up with the same day above/below it, with the various day/month lines showing up as notes I've scribbled on it. When I recall specific events, the spiral is... |

I gave some tips for the stereoscopic images in the other thread, it's kind of an odd muscle group to activate deliberately, most of the time we aren't even aware we can do this til we... |
