      Captain Pedantic Pants saves the day! Thank you for your service.

      Edit: I guess the down voters assumed i was being sarcastic? There’s no sarcasm here. No bad, only nice. OP is my hero for being brave enough to correct someone’s grammar in public.

    Damn, I relate to this so hard. Like, even more than most memes on this community. I really struggle to explain how I handle time perception to people. It sometimes causes issues with my support workers, because I come across as hyper capable and smart, but I struggle so hard when time gets involved. I literally can’t remember what happened last week unless I have some logs to look back on. Well, can’t remember is probably inaccurate — I do remember, I just can’t distinguish those memories from ones that happened two weeks ago, or two months ago (I can probably distinguish it from two years ago, but that’s only because I’ve moved house and changed jobs since then)

    Me and my brother and my sister in law are visiting Miami right now. He asked when the last time I was here was, I say 2012, when he and I came down. Hours later we were talking and we realize we all three came down after that.

    None of us can remember when. It was some time after 2017 but before 2019. Only problem is, it almost definitely couldn’t have happened during those dates, but that are the only date between which it could have happened.

    I found that once an event has happened at least 2 years ago, I start to forget what year exactly it happened and have to stop and think. That seems to be the threshold for me.
