Sometimes I look back on my life and wonder exactly how much of my life and current personality is purely due to the autism.

Ok this is kinda unrelated but the phrase "looking back on my life" triggered a meta-memory of one of my favorite lesser known Green Day songs from my adolescence, and I've decided to subject you all to the lyrics of the first verse/chorus.

Looking back upon my life and the places that I've been 
Pictures, faces, girls that I've loved, I try to remember when 
Faded memories on the wall, some names I have forgotten 
But each one is a memory, I look back on so often

I look into the past 
I want to make it last 
I was there 
I was there

Thanks, hadn't heard that one in a while.

Cool! Btw, how did you get those words to come out purple??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They're not purple on my side, must be your app. I just formatted it as a code block with the ``` on either side.

Weird, I'm on desktop. Maybe it's my theme: darkly-pureblack. Anyway, here's how it looks on my end:

Huh, weird. No clue!

Mine (web browser) does the same. Looks as if [programming code] syntax hilighting failed at determining the programming language but hilighted some possible keywords anyway. iow:

if viewing_app.defaults['hilight_code'] == true:
  try(codeblock.interpret('is this Python somehow?'))
