Exactly.

It’s not nerves, but ligaments and tendons that are linked, in basic terms.

What I know is that there isn’t a microscopic teapot between earth and the sun.

It’s a native feature in W11 now.

Don’t look up.

Don’t recall diagnosing him anywhere, but you go ahead and read what you want to read so that you can create a straw man.

I said that it’s a possibility and therefore should be approached with the care that entails.

But your solution, reading your other response is to talk to the person. Which, if you had read the original post, you would have realised they have already tried to. And their response to that detailed.

So what do you propose? Because if the person who is annoyed by the co-worker shouldn’t take time separate from their team to be able to complete aspects of their work, then the alternative is to…? The idea that a TL/manager whatever cannot trust their team to be able to leave them to work without them is obscene in itself. I guess the entire place falls apart when they have to go into meetings or trips etc.

I’m sure you’ll decide to read whatever you want from the above as well, and you do that. I’ll leave you to it.

There’s a sentence in this that every single reply to this has either ignored or missed, and that’s the part where you think he’s autistic.

From the small snapshot of his life and personality that you’ve offered it does seem that he shows some pretty clear signs. It may be that he doesn’t even realise. I know that I’ve very recently come to realise that I’m obviously autistic and I’m very much an adult. How everyone around me throughout my entire life missed it/didn’t realise is absolutely boggling.

Whether he’s diagnosed or not shouldn’t change that it should be handled with the appropriate sensitivities and equality policies as if he was autistic. But that’s entirely up to your work place and it’s culture.

You all need to remember that while you ‘only’ have to be around then during the times you’re around him, he has always got to deal with being autistic, whether he knows he is or not. And from the sounds of things he may not be very good at masking, which is both good and bad for him. As a person who seems to be neurotypical, you live in a world that is designed for neurotypical people. He isn’t and doesn’t. Imagine being forced to live in a world where you need wheelchair ramps, but there are none provided - anywhere. He needs mental ramps.

You are more than entitled and allowed to not want to deal with him or be around him, please don’t take this as saying that expect you to do that. But there needs to be sensitivity and an understanding of his struggles. If he is autistic, he cannot help the way he approaches situations or how he feels when you rebuff him. To him being told he’s annoying is clearly something he’s taking very, very personally. Take it from someone who is also autistic, it’s horrible. I feel like my entire existence is being rejected, and it sticks and I ruminate on it for hours sometimes days.

So speak to HR first, see what their equality policy is, and what options that they have. Hopefully the company culture and policy recognises that a diagnosis isn’t always possible or needed. And take it from there. Ultimately I think that some of the responses about finding time where you can separate yourself from him is the most likely solution.

Isn’t that like a network protocol or something?

It's so bizarre when people try and double down and put words in other's mouths rather than just fuck off.

Froggy prophet.

…that is what I said? Weird that you would effectively just repeat me.

Ryan McBeth has done a fairly succinct video on it.

It's very high level and skips a lot of nuance, but you get the idea.

One does not excuse the other.

Yes, my bad. Total brain melt moment.

Nothing.

There's absolutely zero point in discussing this.

It's pure whistleblowing dogwhistle and deflection politics. And that's it.

Edit: Mixed up whistling. Tired and distracted.

I’m anti car? Sure thing buddy. Excellent assumption there given that I’m a big petrol head.

But because I also believe that they’re not the solution to 99% of urban mobility that means I’m anti-car?

There are a multitude of viable alternatives to car reliance, many of which are currently already in application and shown to be incredibly effective already. But of course that doesn’t fit your narrative of trying to make out that cars are the only way to get around.

Remember that American cities were demolished for cars in the post war era. If you can demolish to make room for cars, then you can build to accommodate people.

You’re missing the point of the article and the discussion.

Wearing a helmet only adds a hurdle to something where the very core concepts of which is supposed to be the accessibility and freedom it offers.

For the statistical likelihood of a helmet saving someone’s life or from serious injury, is it really worth the spotlight that is constantly placed on them?

Ironically, all they seem to be used for is as a weapon for battering the idea of making cycling easier for the masses around the head.

The amount of comments I’ve seen from absolute meat heads who can’t bear the idea of not driving their cars literally everywhere justifying their behaviour towards a bike rider or that one is somehow responsible for an incident that wasn’t their fault because they didn’t wear a helmet is fucking barmy.

Cycling is a method of transport no different to any other. You don’t have to cart around bulky, awkward and fairly fragile items with you when you get to your destination in your car, on the bus or via train. Why mandate it for the cleanest form of transport beside walking?

Bluntly put, you can fall over, hit your head and die without a bike at all. Should you have to wear a helmet all the time in your day to day? Silly notion and simply an appeal to emotion/but sometimes fallacy.

Edit: to those downvoting, please explain how you feel my comment hasn’t added to the discussion, since that’s what it’s for. It isn’t a ‘disagree’ button.

Is there a picture of the actual junction?

I’ve had (have) iPhones supplied by work and I just can’t get away with them. To the point it just sits there on my desk and never get touched unless I need to 2FA or something through it.

And even that takes me an unreasonable amount of time to figure out every time. A lot of that is down to lack of experience, but I’m sure most is down to it just being unintuitive vs an android. And I’m a Pixel user, and before that a HTC user so always been a very pure Android experience.
