It's less american way and more current chinese government doesn't value human (or otherwise) life interacting badly with capitalism. Same thing in South Korea, too much labor means they can be unreasonably picky for no reason, which leads to the binary outcome of perfection or failure.

If you find chinese people old enough (90+), you can see what precommunist values look like. Those are almost gone now.

What's the only thing (new) chinese people hate more than each other?
I'm a similar but different sort, upper middle class where my parents whole ass left the country. At 4, I was taken to them and started (1st grade?) in the U S. I still have memories of the chinese daycare.
Somehow still better than the uncle, he worked 996 for another (two?) decades. The other aunt dragged the cousin with her to a US high school.
"Second-generation" isnt referring to whether it merged before, it's referring to (and this might be a not fully correct analysis either) whether conservation of angular momentum got fucked up, like when you're playing Mario Kart and you get smacked so many times that you get confused and start driving in the wrong direction.
When my grandparents got cremated, we watched them go in, and took pictures of them right before they went into the furnace.
-
When they came out, my cousin tried to take pictures, but the official stopped them. As in, she asked if that was the case, but didn't ask why. I knew why, of course, because I've been outside for so long (skeletons).
-
One of the computers I brought back, my uncle was worried about the Windows 10 install, because it was "unsafe".
-
When the censorship is super harsh, the population won't even know it's happening, it's just a giant black hole of "this isn't allowed".
One of the things my cousin asked for when she came over was a laptop, which she proceeded to install World of Warcraft on. When she got tired of a job, she just quit, because fuck 996. A lot of the younger generation just hole up at home and work occasionally.
-
The other cities are still ok (for now). Whichever city my mom's family is in had street vendors that use QR codes, so there's at least some integration into "Modern China".
Most of the futuristic paradise is just chinese government propaganda overflowing. Most of the authoritarian hellscape isn't really seen by normal citizens. My aunt saw police catch a pickpocket once. She felt sorry for the pickpocket because they were beating the crap out of him.
Wechat, yes, sometimes they will ask for your national id in places, but not often because nobody fucking carries that. The good news is I had family all over the place, so they just paid for everything out of their accounts.
Ads are everywhere, but most ads are just walls of text. I can't read chinese, so it's actually very easy for me to ignore it anyways.
The last few times I went, we went from dialup to ISDN to DSL. I remember the first time I went back, we got a microwave. We couldn't use it for a while because it would blow the apartment circuit breaker.
A lot of the niche cultures are just hiding in places. There's a lot of hiding places. Over the times I went back, Beijing went from 3rd ring highway to 5th ring. I had to take like two hours of bus ride to get to a Magic: The Gathering store.
Chinese PC gaming sucks ass. It's either rebranded western games, or just pay-to-win gacha games. It's been like that since the 90s. Black Myth Wukong is a big deal, because it's one of the first big time non-gacha chinese games.
Most of the younger generation are very global. They've had a taste of the unfiltered internet and cannot go back. That's not to say they have the correct perspectives on things, but there is a distinct lack of the imperialism that the older generation has. Some of the older generation is global too, especially on western movies. My uncle liked to watch western movies that I snuck in.
Every time I go, somehow, there always happens to be some government bigwigs in town, which makes all the factories shut down. The air is actually very clean without the factories.
One of the best and worst things the government did was preparation for the 2008 Olympics. They tore down every single building in the city that was only one story high (and some higher ones), and rebuilt them into at least two story high buildings. In the process, they also redid the streets, which also included clearing out the street vendors. RIP tricycle cooks and kebab vendors.
So, as a non-autistic person, something I've noticed, is that people with autism can't handle anything that remotely describes them as stupid and useless (exaggerated sense of self/narcisism). This wouldn't normally be an issue however, except it compounds with this other thing I've noticed, that people with autism have this intense urge to reach 100%, and anything less than that is actually 0% (in other words, yall see things in black and white).
-
This interaction produces this awkward logic where anything negative (including personal mistakes) is taken as a personal insult, which produces one of two results, A (you have personally insulted me, that means I get to personally act like a complete asshole on purpose and/or meltdown), or B (somebody/or myself said something negative about me, and that means I'm stupid and useless and sad now).
-
Since tone is something that asian cultures have built in to their language, and the lack of ability to understand tone and its effect on communication is incredibly obvious from my standpoint.
-
Anyways, long story short, purely neutral descriptive language and judgemental language are very different. Purely descriptive language, especially scientific, often tries to describe a thing in as many words as possibly allowed, because otherwise you run into information compression loss (too much jpg). If you want to be accurate, and accuracy is tantamount in any scientific field, then every possible description from every possible viewpoint is required. This is the opposite of what people with autism like to do, which is "efficient". Yall gonna end up describing a moon rock like, "it is grey and dusty", which is severely useless. Sometimes you cannot describe an object in less than 20,000 words, especially if you've never seen it before.
-
Autism being a spectrum of traits in variable degrees of effect, I would expect such 20 page papers when trying to formally diagnose someone.
-
If you wanna see some judgemental language and the difference between such and anything not, go on r/roastme and check out the roasts.
Ehh.. it's approximately in line with source material ratings. On the other hand, if the community is small, there would be some odd tilts due to a lack of total variety, so the people who have watched four seasons of Date A Live would obviously know to recommend the fifth season.
To add to this, here is a rough explanation of why "average" people still exist.
-
If you take every job in the world, and group them up, you're gonna get significantly more maintenance type jobs, time-gated jobs, tetris type jobs, and basically every job that requires about 2 brain cells to perform perfectly, than any job that actually requires critical thinking.
-
So we can either take you, the smartest meat popsicle man on the planet, and make you stand there and hold a stop sign in the middle of traffic in 100F/38C weather for 10 hours straight six days a week,
OR
we can give that job to somebody else and have you design highway interchanges.
I have this hypothesis that masking their authenticity in order to fit in with their respective social group is the normal way also in NT people.
-
This is not correct. A "neurotypical" (term is terrible, there are good reasons) does not "mask" in most situations. They are simply using their own personality. People with autism have this nasty habit of trying to find "the correct answer", which is something that simply doesn't exist most of the time. If a normal person is masking, it is likely that they are doing so because they are still trying to maintain some image of civility.
-
The other part of this is that a question with no correct answer, however, still has wrong answers. If someone asks you what you are doing this weekend, "researching goatse" is a most certainly a wrong answer. All of this is dependent on the other person. In the case of a random person, it's easier to just leave out everything longer than a single sentence, which is why talking with strangers always feels oddly hollow.
-
Example
TALK: "[person you hate] died yesterday."
Normal: "Good, fuck that guy in particular."
Masked: "That's ... unfortunate."
-
It is true, though, that an average person doesn't have to think about every sensory input. That's the only real high-level difference. Most people are also incapable of focusing on more than one task. It just seems like multitasking or speedy processing because they can drop tasks at a moment's notice. For someone who actually does have hardware multitasking, high process speed, and acute sense of time, interacting with an average person feels like an eternity. If I had to fancy a fat guess, I'd say this is why people with autism seem to prefer online interaction -- because there's no timelines for said interaction, and the lack of the information that they have to track makes interacting much faster.
In this case, random copypastas are one thing that works well. Wastes their time, and communicates the fact that you think they are stupid. *cue Undertaker copypasta*
Also, would be great if every community had the tiananmen copypasta stickied.
Then stop doing it. An apology is for when you did or could have fucked something up. "I'm sorry I haven't been able to reply sooner" means you are aware of a deadline involved for the other party and that deadline may have been fucked by your untimely response.
when they reassure me I don't need to apologize
This means there was either no deadline involved or the deadline did not pass or nothing was fucked as a result. Also means that you may have incorrectly assumed information about the existence or properties of a deadline.

Knowledge and skill level can be divided approximately by degree and type of brainpower used. In this manner, Unconscious Use > Conscious Use.

Think about it this way: You've blocked everything out so you can dice an onion perfectly. If one thing distracts you, the dicing is gonna get fucked. Meanwhile, Sous Chef-san can dice an onion with his eyes closed and yelling at the new guy because he's about to dump the wrong spice into the soup. Who one do you think is better at chopping onions?

Memorization is not learning. Learning is the ability to cross-reference information, and intelligence is the ability to select the appropriate knowledge to apply for the situation.
It said too many local connections, not enough long range connections, ie get stuck on details and no big picture. It's pretty close to what I know as autism, but in medical jargon. It doesn't state an important known part though, in that autistic left/right hemisphere utilization is the opposite of a normal brain. Normal is something like 45 left/55 right, autistic is 55 left/45 right. If you'll notice, autism causes issues with all skills considered to be right brain (language, emotions, spatial, etc)...
tl;dr
overthink step 1, forgot step 2 though 9, last step failed, meltdown
Figure out whether your circadian time is set for early morning (~5AM wake up time), day (~10AM wake), or night (~2PM wake). Despite what most people think, it's incredibly hard for one type to adapt to another.

...uh...static input moving is a sign of being on the schizophrenia spectrum, otherwise known as visual hallucinations...
Yeah, that's a company server, specifically for the local network group
Why would an internal server change IP all the time? DHCP is for silly things like laptops that turn on and off eleventy times a day
