    For general public interactions: Find a place that prints business cards and order some with something along the lines of “I stop being able to speak when overstimulated. Please give me some time. Sorry for the inconvenience.” printed on them. Being able to pull one from a pocket instead of struggling to explain while unable to speak should make it less stressful.



  • At least 100k.

    I have an email account I’ve been using exclusively for signing up to various services for almost 30 years now. About 50 messages per day make it to the inbox, about 800 per day are added to the spam folder, god only knows how many get sent to the void. None of them get read ever, the storage limit is 25GB… so I’m guessing significantly north of 100,000 unread emails.

    The email account that I use for actual communication and that I give out only to real people and even that sparingly has no unread messages and one response draft. It’s easy to keep up when you get about 5 emails per month of which maybe 3 require a response.

    It’s always fascinating to watch US gun regulation attempts and reactions to them from a perspective of someone living in a country where you straight up can’t buy guns unless you are a hunter or a member of a target shooting sports club and even then it takes over a year to get permits.














  • It’s worse than that. Situations where something causes no harm to literally anyone are few and far between. Even less often you have a full and clear picture of a situation. Usually it’s a choice between who gets hurt to what extent and based on what you know you just try to minimize the damage. You will get it wrong a lot.

    Life is complicated and all we can do is to try our best and hope others will too.
