Passive Media Intolerance

Passive Media Intolerance

Condition often experienced by neurodivergent individuals (e.g., those with autism or ADHD), where passive media like movies or TV shows feel unbearably boring, pointless, or mentally exhausting, regardless of how "good" they are considered.

Symptoms may include:

-Immediate boredom during films

-Feeling like all movies are "the same"

-Extreme mental restlessness or zoning out

-Strong preference for interactive or highly stimulating media (like games or animation-heavy content)
Person 1: "Hey, do you want to watch a movie together?"

Person 2: "Sorry, but i have Passive Media Intolerance"

Passion Straps

Reference to the Groin. Particularly when doing Pilates, Yoga, or some other form of exercise that stretches the groin.

Passion State

When one is oblivious to clear instructions or details but is confident they fully understand. Even after having it explained in simple terms they are adamant that they have exhausted all options but in reality no adjustments are made and each attempt is done the same resulting in the same outcome.

Adjustments are never made correctly even with clear instructions given, thus making the person believe their obliviousness to the simple solution and leaving them in Passion State. Hard to bring them back to reality as they believe their ignorance to be true, and blames everything else without actively looking to correct themselves.
(Instructions: Input 0 for the amount of units and 0 for total units to proceed to the next step)

Individual in Passion State: It’s not allowing me to proceed to the next step, please help.

(shows number inputted is 0 unit amount and *23* total units)

Instructor: The number is supposed to be zero.

Passion State Pupil: Still won’t let me…

(Shows screen recording while inputting the exact same numbers)

Instructor: Youre supposed to put ZERO, not 23.

Passion State Pupil: Sorry, I must be tired.

passive income

Income that requires minimal effort to maintain, allowing you to earn money while you focus on other activities, like sleeping or hanging out with friends. Often associated with investments, online content, or businesses that generate revenue without constant involvement.
My Youtube upload for the MP3-CD titled 'I Was Too Young To Watch Threadpool' hit 433 views within its first 18 hours? It feels like "passive income", where the number of views continuously increases whilst I sleep, go to college, do college assignments, hang out with friends, travel, etc. etc

hack-passing

Similar to buck-passing.  To avoid responsibility for direct communication and admitting how one really feels in-favour of benign hacking of a lover's social-media to disclose how one feels.
-- He could never figure-out how, if her overtures were genuine, why they were random, like if she WERE really interested, why not contact him directly rather than leave it to chance whether he heard her or not!!

-- Yeah, I understand that his brain went into a feedback loop later, as to how she could be so generous as to make him that offer, but so miserly as to be inflexible.

-- Did they try to connect?

-- Yeah, but it was a comedy-of-eros, only not so funny.  Anyone who knows his history would understand why he was scared and tentative, but she was closed to those icebreaking freeze-ups.

-- So why not communicate directly?

-- Oh he did, eventually, to take responsibility for making things work, but she has challenges doing that.  The closest she has come so far is, it SEEMS, to hack his posts, and edit out whatever she doesn't like, leaving what she thinks by implication.

-- So he suffers daily for his mistakes -- he's crazy about her -- and more than he deserves, but yet she resorts to hack-passing?
