This is going to sound silly, but it is what I tell all my autistic students that show greater cognitive understanding:

 

The reason people think you are dumb is because the talent you have in understanding these things is rare and even those who do have a better grasp still think your wrong because you lack the communication skills to show them what you see. 

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.

I'd tell my younger self to stop drinking coca cola (btw i was addicted to that stuff, the scale i was drinking it at was really unhealthy but back then i was oblivious). I'd also tell my younger self to think before speaking.

A packet of stuff like this 

image.png.cfeb8a893a524909e4fd41325402dbca.png

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

While there are certainly things I would have done a different way the second time around, I probably would not say anything to myself, because where I am standing in life right now, while not ideal, is making me happy and I would not want to change that.

sold like 10 I mined myself when one gpu was enough for 11$ because I was like "oh wow they're worth actual money now". I think we all have some form of bitcoin regret

Hard to say for sure,

the things I've done to this point is why I am where I am, if I say "Don't do that one thing" then Past me doesn't do it and I might never learn why not to in the future.

† † †

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
 
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
        In Flanders fields.
 
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.

 

 

Cry havoc and let slip the Togs of war.  (Signature V3)

 

If you want me to reply, tag me @Tog Driver, Or quote me.

 

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭13:14
