      I, like @sonyasupposedly , have a really spastic reaction to this. For me, it often manifests when people give me unsolicited advice (farm or otherwise). Their gentle, friendly "you can use deck screws" reads to me as "you obviously don't know that you can use deck screws". https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1275154530611548160 …

      2/ also, there's a NT vs non-NT thing: spergs use words to COMMUNICATE FACTS. Neurotypicals use words for many reasons, lots of them related to social bonding. So when someone echoes back things that I either just stated, or >>> https://twitter.com/lunavis/status/1275155718333771776 …

      3/ my previous statements strongly suggest that I know (e.g. me: "there are 14 different ways to connect pieces of wood, including such oddities as barrel nuts and so-called 'Boston Screws'" - at this point you should definitely assume that I know what a deck screw is) and yet

      4/ someone will say "you can use deck screws" and the impedance mismatch is that they're saying (at least according to wife / @random_eddie / @mr_archenemy ) "hey, I'm following this thread, I like you, I like your topics"

      5/ ...and as a sperg, I accept that hypothesis but still don't like it. THERE ARE OTHER WORDS TO EXPRESS THAT. E.g. the ones I just used. ...so why would normies choose to use other words that have a hash collision instead? /shrug who knows

      IRL, people will often say "yeah", "uh-huh", "right" to indicate they're listening (See, Backchannel (linguistics)). Maybe online, extroverts want to express the same pattern, but single word responses seem to short, so it gets stretched out into meaningless interjections.

          This is obviously what likes are for, but perhaps some feel they've been devalued socially, so a comment must fill the role.
