To be fair, most Americans don't demonstrate independent thinking, regularly regurgitate entire phrases they've been fed without showing any cognitive understanding, and they also sometimes perform tasks useful to corporations.

Exactly. My wife and I both have sensory issues, and while they overlap, there are significant differences. Which is fortunate, because her texture issues mean she can't fold laundry but I can, for example. My texture issues are more extended contact-related, so I can fold wool socks, but I can't wear them. And there are limited materials I can wear.

We both have similar auditory sensitivities, so our house is quite quiet, and we had to check neighbourhoods at multiple times when we were house shopping to make sure there were no deal-breaker environmental sounds.

She has olfactory sensitivities, but I don't.

What are your sensitivities?

How about also, "Wow, seems like you need to work on your resource planning skills," when a manager tries to demand unpaid overtime?
