Hey, just a friendly reminder that linked article and people in this this thread are taking the time to explain what autistic burnout feels like. So please be mindful of trying to explain or define this as something else and just listen to what people who experience this are saying. No comments have been removed.

Brandon Blatcher: "This comment and a response to it have been removed, because MetaFilter doesn't condone or support murdering people, so please keep your support for doing such things to yourself." A MetaTalk discussion has been created about this mod action, please shift all related discussion to that thread.

Tell Me No Lies: "Start killing off the people who work on it." This comment and a response to it have been removed, because MetaFilter doesn't condone or support murdering people, so please keep your support for doing such things to yourself. Strong reactions and/or statements to unfair situations or practices is totally fine, of course, but we are drawing a line at calls for murder.

chasing: "God I hate TikTok…" Comment removed, as it adds nothing to the conversation and is potentially derailing. It's fine to not like a particular social media platform, but since it's a personal preference thing, there's no need to share that information with everyone else.

googly: "...and deserves better than this shoddy, low-effort post" Suggestions on typo fixes and the like is great, but tossing in these sort of comments isn't, don't do this. Whatever good you may have intended, it just winds up making people feel bad. DJZouke: "Sorry for the Mar-Keys typo. I did not intend for the post to be low effort. I was not feeling very well so..." Thank you for taking the time to make a post about a great musician, it is appreciated!

One comment delete for posting the output from ChatGpt, which goes against the Content Policy:

Please do not query ChatGPT or other LLMs and then post the output unless the discussion itself is about those types of tools, and in those cases, please clearly label what you are posting as coming from an AI tool.

Link updated and post reinstated upon poster's request.

One derailing comment and response to it removed. Adrienneleigh, the ridiculously adorable animal is helping search and rescue teams recover dead bodies, so there's zero need to derail the post by saying "But nobody should be teaching animals to be cops or to help cops." People having issues with police is understandable, but this isn't the thread for that.

One deleted: noise.

One derailing comment removed. Please try to stay roughly on topic. If your comment begins with “ On a tangentially related note:” and the subject is serious one, please consider whether that comment really adds anything to the current discussion.

A couple of derailing comments and a response to them have been removed. Just focus on the link in the post please!

One deleted. Poster's Request.

***** Panorama team should be put up against a ******* wall and shot. The entire comment that contained this phrase has been removed, because while having a strong reason to anything is fine, MetaFilter's Content Policy does draw the line at advocating for people to be killed or other threats and/or wishes of violence. Don't do that on this site.

Added content warning and fixed up tags. Note that the system doesn't allow spaces in tags, it'll split those words into two or more tags. Just leave the spaces out or or add underscores between words. So instead of "growing up" do "growingup" or "growing_up" to make the tags appear as one.

Removed two comments seemingly posted in the wrong thread, along with a response to them.

One comment removed at writer's request.

which_chick: "After snake wrestling has determined a victor, the victorious male and receptive female kinda... hang out together. Like, in close (non-sex) proximity, for like a week or so." That's such great anecdote which_chick, we added it to the Best Of blog, thanks for sharing! SaltySalticid: "An acquaintance of mine has made huge discoveries involving maternal and paternal care and other forms of socialization in (wait for it) millipedes." Oooh, that sounds amazing SaltySalticid , can you share what some of those discoveries are?!

Deleted one because poster had edited it to say “deleted by poster”. Just know you can flag your own comment and leave a note, alternatively — this’ll put it on our radar.

This is cool to mess around with, especially if you're looking for a brief distraction from, well, the world. It's almost has a tactile feel to it! Have fun and thanks for sharing this gwint!

1,500 ft. That's how low the airplane is when they first encounter Hugo. None of the crew or staff was keen about that height, but they figured they'd give it a try and if didn't work, they'd go up to 5,000 ft. That definitely takes guts. I'm only on the second page and it's already a suspenseful read. Thanks for finding and sharing this ShooBoo!

ivan ivanych samovar: "The RSS feed linked above has the wrong address for me. Replacing pcast with http: seemed to solve it for me, thusly RSS." Fixed!

Removed duplicate comment.

One comment removed. Cursing on the site is fine, but cursing at someone else is not okay as per the Content Policy.

One comment removed for derailing the thread by complaining about another comment that they think is a derail. It's ok to just not comment or, preferably, focus on the topic of the post and comment about that.

One deleted. The back and forth between a few users needs to stop now. Please leave some room for others in the thread.

Linking to a letterboxd page is a cool of highlighting the past movies that an actor has been in and the general verbiage does touch on her life and career. That said, others are welcome to share links from other publications or even their own favorites and memories from Keaton's numerous stage and film performances

One comment removed for trolling.

stodgeflompton: "Metafilter is like a cargo cult where the smart people left ten years ago, and everyone who's left is just posting what they think those people might like" Hi, just remember that nobody forced you sign up and comment in a community you clearly do not think highly of. Please check out the Guidelines and Content Policy and participate in good faith or we may have to remove you from the site.

One deleted: poster's request.
