@alicemcalicepants @Zumbador @actuallyautistic My wife is also on the spectrum and it took a good number of conversations between us before she informed me that she wouldn't ask if she had a strong preference. That was what prompted me to start having an opinion.

I probably slide more to the "emotionless" side of the spectrum, so I suppose that might be a factor.

As I've gotten older I've found that most people really don't seem to have a preference for most things, other than that they don't want to be the one to make the decision. If I really am on the fence I'll say so, but anyone that's been around me for any length of time knows that I don't keep my opinions to myself.

I can speculate a lot. Between getting burned out at my job and the heart disease, levels of stress for the last few years have really pushed me beyond my "give a fuck" limit. For me the "debate" is just way more energy than I ever feel like investing...I'll toss my opinion out there and if I get pushback...well...ok, we'll do you're thing because I really don't care.

It helps, of course, to really not care.
