Have you gone to an autism friendly screening of a movie?
>>220590017That's kind of nice actuallyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOOtJcWAk-A
>>220590062It just means they don’t play music or noise. Then they bombard you with Wal-Mart radio after. Depending on the store, you’ll hear them talking.
>>220590017This shit sucks and is pure 'woke put on for show that does nothing'. My work does it every day now and no autistics are popping in to take advantage of it. It just means a horrible eerie clacking of things echoing desolately for a lamentable hour
>>220590017not sure why it needs to be advertised. only those people shop during those hours already
>>220590369I shop at Wal-Mart regularly, and go slumming with the other plebs. But in terms of its basic operation, the single worst change that Wal-Mart has implemented over the past fifteen years or so, is that they blare their wretched muzak OUT INTO THE GOD-DAMNED PARKING LOT, so that you don't even have the peace of just being outdoors in the world before being fully enveloped. It's also an extremely inconsiderate form of noise pollution. The garbage carries for a quarter mile in ever direction at least, and probably more like a half mile.>>220590628You have a fair point about the pointless performativity of the early-hours offering, but your worst aesthetic error betrays your normie mind. That "horrible eerie clacking of things echoing" that you complain of? No matter what your work environment happens to be, it is preferable to be fully present to that environment, rather than to have to have the god-damn Black Eyed Peas or Maroon Five or whatever the fuck in the background. I work elsewhere, and my single favorite thing is that no muzak plays. Just once, a creepy sperg trainee passed through and I set up what I personally liked about working in the place, without telling exactly what it was. He immediately understood, without any further prompting: no muzak. We understood each other.>>220590017To your original question, I went to a play with mother a while back and the performers officially indicated beforehand that it was okay for audience members to pace around in the audience space, move around etc, which seems to have been another vacant gesture toward the weird. Again, it seems to have been along these lines, but no one was a total freak so everyone did just fine staying put in their seats for an hour plus each half. This sort of vacant gesture is also closely related to/a direct outgrowth of "safe shopping hours" during the covid panic.
Whilst we're here my favorite newfangled inclusivity thing is -phobia modes in games but predominantly arachnophobia modes. People insist that they're unable to play things with spiders in them until such a thing is added because spiders paralyze them with fear. So what the fuck do you do when you see a spider in real life? It's nonsense, everybody hates spiders and creepy crawlies in some way or another, it's instinctual. But people want to feel special so they make up shit to "have"
>>220590017Trigger warnings and inclusivity trigger me. They need a trigger warning warning me that a trigger warning is coming up Any movies for this feel besides Synecdoche?
>>220590017So what does this mean? They turned the music off and nobody is allowed to make any sudden movements?
>>220590017the rise of autism in recent years is due to vaccines. there i said it.in this case, we NEED to believe women
>>220591155My Walmart regularly fires off bird cannons to scare away the thousands of grackles.
>>220591155>so that you don't even have the peace of just being outdoors in the world before being fully enveloped. It's also an extremely inconsiderate form of noise pollutionReminds me of going to the gas pump and getting bombarded with ads for shit I don't care about. Like, I just want to stand here and pump in peace and I'm being denied this.
>>220591465The left say we should gas the unvaccinated.
>>220590017I'm autistic and that actually sounds really nice. Still not shopping at Walmart though.
When I worked in a shop I found that the most common time for autistic people to come in was right at the crack of dawn when the shop opens first thing. This is when they know the shop will be the quietest because any cages / rollers will have been out away and the staff will have done their best to prepare the shop for opening. Notably there are going to be less customers inside at this time because the norms are still in bed and the shop has been closed up to now.The later you leave it the busier the shop becomes with both customers and staff working on the shop floor. The aisles become clogged with obese shambling masses with no sense of special awareness or courtesy.
>>220591258i don't get it, but it's not a bad thing having the choice, i suppose. under-the-hood every game engine has variables and functions for every last thing. you could make Jedi Outcast ultraviolent with the different cg_dismembernent options, someone might just find that 'icky' and set it to 0.the real problem is 'X cards' in tabletop RPGs.
>>220591547Less minorities at earlier hours too.
>>220591491Yep, I thank you very much for bringing this one up and validating a feeling I've had for years. I'm going to sound edgy, but whoever came up with the idea to install television screens directly into the gas pumps really deserves a good hard nose-breaking punch in the face. That moment of zen that you describe, that minute of paying attention, now gone. Most of the time you can find some sort of mute button, but it doesn't always work. There's ad-stimulation all over the place, of course, but with regard to those monitors, I make a point of holding up my hand once the thing is muted so I don't observe whatever the ad is. It's also a serious safety concern, static charge, idiots go to sit back in their cars while the thing fuels up (thus building charge), etc. The outdoor wal-mart noise pollution thing and the gas pump thing really should be legislated out of existence, but I don't foresee this any time soon.
>>220591465>>220591512lol idiotsautism is on the rise due to microplastics interferring with certain nutrients reaching the fetus in utero look up leucovorin and wonder why
>>220590628It doesn’t even stop toddlers from wailing at self check out either. There’s nothing they can do about the sounds that actually irritate autists such as motors from the fridges and scooters, or constant beeping from registers, or phones going off at random.
>>220590017OMG I so want that.
>>220591465Alternative theory: is because white women won't stop drinking while they're pregnant.
>>220590062Kek. Reminds me of this https://youtu.be/eX4GOltUDdA
>>220590017You know the woman who implemented this has a butterfly tattoo somewhere on her body.
>>220590017That's racist
