Hey ksmarker, I am in support of your move, for whatever that's worth to the folks showing up here to post. I both get why you are interested and why you moved the discussion here. Eventually another story as relevant or interesting as the fact that the NY Times wrote a story about this dude will show up, and then yes, it will be good not to drag it into other threads.

I think there's probably a degree of Aspergers at work with this kid. I mean...
People with Asperger syndrome often display behavior, interests, and activities that are restricted and repetitive and are sometimes abnormally intense or focused. They may stick to inflexible routines, move in stereotyped and repetitive ways, or preoccupy themselves with parts of objects.Pursuit of specific and narrow areas of interest is one of the most striking features of AS. Individuals with AS may collect volumes of detailed information on a relatively narrow topic such as weather data or star names, without necessarily having genuine understanding of the broader topic.

i read his book, its not bad, hes tao lin but hanging out w/ more boring ppl if that's possible. it's obv a quick read and is relatable. the best part is like 3 pages long where he recounts applying for a job w/ an investment bank (only b/c he finds a woman who works there's cell phone in a cab), doesn't hear back for two and a half weeks, emails and tells her off and sez her company + their business ruined the economy, etc, and she responds showing him an email to HR that they were abt to hire him. it is the anecdote of a generation, and well told regardless of if it even happened

I went back inside and looked through all of the merchandise again. I bought two packs of Supreme-branded Post-It Notes for $2 each. They were selling on eBay for $18 each.I noticed that the guy working behind the counter was the white kid from Odd Future. I couldn't remember his name. He gave me a curious look. He must have noticed me sitting outside the store for four hours.He said, "Do you need a bag?"I said, "No, it's OK. It's just Post-It Notes." I put them into my jacket pocket.I walked back outside and sat back down on the bench. I lit one.I texted Camilla, "The guy behind the counter is the white kid from Odd Future. I just bought some Post-Its from him."I Googled "white kid odd future" and looked through some pictures of him. He changed his hairstyle from blonde to black. Looked cool either way.Camilla texted back, "Thought he looked familiar."I walked over to Canter's to use the bathroom. I got a pastrami sandwich on rye bread with mustard and I ate it in a booth by myself. I slipped an Ativan into the sandwich and ate it like when a dog owner makes a dog take its medicine by mixing it in with its food.I went into the bathroom, walked into a stall, and drank some vodka out of my bag. I took 5 milligrams of Mellow Yellow and 10 milligrams of Propranalol.I walked back to Supreme and sat outside again. The sun was bright. I bought a pair of sunglasses from the white kid in Odd Future.
