    There’s still people into boats, but it’s not very popular compared to trains/planes/cars. Which is kinda strange, there has never been a time with more shipping traffic. Maybe because ports these days are fairly inaccessible to observers

    Seems like they could have just gave him a job keeping track of all the boats and then everyone could be happy…

    I bet the sailors were equally thrilled that this random guy was looking out for them. It’s nice to know someone’s waiting for you.

    I’m not an expert in autism, but I’m not keen on what seems to be claiming every ‘nerdy’ hobby as an autistic trait ?

    Educate me

      It’s not so much the choice of hobby, but the degree of obsession, being so intense that even the participant admits that it’s illogical, yet partakes for the emotional fulfillment.
