I thought it was just missing a comma (candied salmon, eggs benedict). That sounds pretty good.

It's a more painful headache that's focused on one area of the head.

Someone told a baloney story on reddit with a photo of some silverware with a Nazi chicken stamped into it about how his grandmother stole those from a concentration camp she was a prisoner in, and uses them all the time.
Someone else on reddit who is an internet expert in Nazi silverware called it out as bogus.

The Process Of Elimination
BAR | UK | FLIRTING/HOW WE MET
(I am on the autism spectrum and my mind works in a very logical and analytical way. I’m having a quiet drink with a female friend (I’m also female) and a man is starting to bother us, staring in a creepy way and making lewd gestures. When I go to the bar he comes up to me.)

Man: “All right, sexy! Where’s your boyfriend?”

Me: “Well, that’s three assumptions you’ve made about me: that I’m heterosexual, that I have a boyfriend, and that I’m somehow not allowed to be out without a man. You know, only one of those is correct!”

Man: “Which one’s correct, then?”

Me: “Well, if you used your brain you’d realise that if the third statement is true then the first two must be, and if the second one is true then the first one must be. So it must be the first one, yes?”

Man: “What, so you’re telling me a lovely lady like you doesn’t have a boyfriend?”

Me: “That’s right.”

Man: “Why not?”

Me: “Is it compulsory for every woman to have a boyfriend?”

Man: “Well, no, but why don’t you?”

Me: “Perhaps I don’t want one?”

Man: “Why don’t you want one?”

Me: “Er… maybe because I’m married?”

Man: *he looks at my wedding ring and actually jumps backwards* “WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SO BEFORE?!”

Me: “Actually, you never asked. Nor did you ask if I were interested in you, which I’m clearly not. Now I’d appreciate it if you left me and my friend alone because we’re not interested and not because you think we ‘belong’ to another man!”

Man: “That’s fine by me. You’re both ugly, anyway!”

(That would explain why he called me ‘sexy’!)

What is it about autism and the other disorders on the spectrum that has turbonerds thinking it's the best thing ever to have? Not understanding social behavior and cues doesn't make you the God King of Logic. Granted, a good number of people on the spectrum do consistently operate on some type of logic, but nothing says it has to be the right logic, especially given obsessive behavior is kind of a hallmark of the spectrum.

I was going to say, for someone as autistic as she seems to think she is, she sure is good at not only picking up on those subtle social behavioral cues from the guy she's interacting with, but also knowing how to use them to lay down sick burns.

They hear stereotypes/watch stupid movies where it's made out to be a superpower that makes you the smartest person on the face of the earth but socially awkward. This includes regular people but turbo nerds are different in that they think the terrible things about being autistic, like having a lot of trouble making connections with people, are no big deal. About that story, I actually am on the spectrum and I don't talk like a robot or have met any other autistic people who do either. Whoever wrote that is just pretentious as hell.

Yeah, there's "migraines" which is someone just wanting some sympathy for having a bad headache and then there are migraines where you're ultra sensitive to the smallest amount of light or sound, are vomiting like mad or, in my case, you can't feel the right side of your face.

Yeah, that's basically it. "I'm socially awkward, just like Mr. Spock and Data from Star Trek! That means I'm smart like them, too!" Plus, who even needs friends when you have a genius brain to depend on? (The answer is everybody, everyone needs to depend on others at least some of the time.)

Remember the Jimmy Neutron episode where Sheen wishes he was even smarter than Jimmy and he ends up being miserable because being that smart makes him also really really mean and nobody wanted to be his friend anymore

That's what I always think of when I read this kind of garbage from people like that

Migraine is a serious neurological disorder. It's more than "just a headache".

This is a different sort of headache:

Deaf To Reason, Part 4
HOME IMPROVEMENT | MISSISSAUGA, ON, CANADA | AT THE CHECKOUT, AWESOME CUSTOMERS, BAD BEHAVIOR
(I am a cashier at a home improvement retail store, and an old lady comes up to my till holding a few cleaning supplies.)

Me: Hi! How are you today?”

Customer: *no answer*

Me: “How are you today?”

Customer: *no answer*

Me: “Okay, your total comes to $17.36. Will that be on your store credit card?”

Customer: *no answer, inserts card into reader and enters pin*

Me: *hands her her receipt* “Thanks a lot! Have a good day!”

Customer: “D*** kids! You could have at least said something. Isn’t it your job to make conversation with the customer? So rude!”

Me: “I did. I asked you how you were doing, I asked if your purchase will be on our credit card, and I hoped you have a good day.”

Customer: “Well, how was I supposed to know that? I’m as deaf as anything!”

Me: *getting annoyed because of the lineup forming behind her* “You just heard what I said, ma’am. Have a good day.”

Customer: “Well, I never! I’m going to get your rude a** fired!”

Me: All right. You have a nice day, too.

(The next customer walks up.)

Next Customer: “Hi. I was wondering if you could charge me for a pack of toilet paper? That lady spread BS all over here.”
