I read this as “I need caffeine to function and libraries don’t have it”. If libraries are associated with school (I can follow that association!) then it makes sense as a reply to this meme.
Look, I love libraries but I don’t think it’s fair to assume everyone has had good experiences in them. Theft was a big problem in my university library (as was voyeurism). It doesn’t mean this person hates libraries as a concept.
if that is how it’s meant to be read than my apologies, I just couldn’t understand it and assumed he was saying libraries should be drug infested sex dens, which they really shouldn’t be
I mean I’m just assuming and sharing how I read it. You and I are both speculating!
I wanted to reply that it’s okay to not understand every comment. Human experience is wider than any individual can comprehend and autistic people reflect that diversity as well. I personally find it easier if I assume good intentions and approach things with curiosity if I really do need to understand what someone meant.
I fail at that standard a lot lol but the overall result is good, I think.
I also know if someone tries to tell me I’m wrong about something they have no way of knowing or they misunderstand what I’m saying and argue against a point I’m not making I go feral real quick! Thanks persistent demand for autonomy! Having that experience also helps me be a bit more open to understanding the way I read something might not be what they mean.

I get the feeling you’re in the wrong community, this is the autism one.

lol please expand on your exclusionary comment
You are literally in the wrong thread. This isn’t the “maga hates libraries again” thread.
Oh, well I don’t hate libraries? I literally would be more comfortable in them if they were what those fox news hosts said they were.
That’s great! You should definitely go say that in the thread about it!
Nahh, you should probably just block me so more misunderstandings don’t ruffle your puritan values.
Yep you’re lost bud. No idea what you’re talking about.
