      Oh, I am well aware I am autistic, I come from a long line of train-obsessed men, grandpa literally had his own model set the size of two queen or king mattresses that he custom made himself, dad was a mechanical dork, and I am a software envineering dork who loves to play or mod or make games into as close to a complex immersive sim as possible.

      Don’t know why you think that’s ‘bad news’, or has anything to do with Tylenol tho, I guarantee I’m better at any kind of engineering or data modelling/analysis than you, lol.

          Apology accepted, I … am a bit more on edge than usual about my autism due to the, you know, historical parellels with Nazis literally genociding autistic people, and RFK Jr saying all mentally disorded people should be sent to farm labor camps.

              Unfortunately you cannot really unbreak an egg.

              My advice would be befriend your neighbors and try to form a neighborhood or apartment spanning mutual aid network, we will soon be all we have to count on.
