   Like, $10 on the fucking table, if I drop a slightly weird looking link, right here, a BUNCH of you wouldn't consider it 'suspicious'

   Because (for better or worse), you trust me.

   So 'watch out for suspicious links' as a thought terminating neologism is dangerous itself.

   That is great.

   I have an Asus myself too.
   It is from 2015 and has 8GB ram.
   I changed the hard drive 2 times.

   First to the smallest cheapest SSD I could find. Unfortunately after a few years it just died on me.

   So I got new 2TB SSD. and then I mounted the original 2TB harddrive where the DVD used to be.

   I recon I will use it for another 10 years.

   You know one of the things I hate most about being self-realized (aka self-diagnosed) autistic/ADHD? It's that it essentially puts me (us) in the same category as the "I did my own research" crowd. Don't trust the experts, the science is wrong, etc. I feel dirty.

   I love science. I love what it has done for humanity. I think we need to appreciate and support it far more than we do now. I much prefer to defer to experts who know more than me on any particular subject. I do keep in mind that anyone can be wrong about any particular thing, but the majority of the time they are more likely to be right than me.

   So I'm left having to justify to people why my research is right and the "experts" are wrong in this particular case and not others. I sound like "I'm right and the everyone else is wrong." Ugh.

   I know that there are good reasons why self diagnosis for us NDs is valid, if you take the time to go through them and understand them*. But getting other people to listen to it all is hard. Plus, like I said, it just goes against the grain for me. It makes me feel like a hypocrite. It just sucks that this one branch of science is lagging so far behind where it should be. So aside from reading over the reasons yet again, I can only take small comfort in this one quote I've posted on here a few times already:

   "There is probably no field of scientific investigation in which more resistance has been encountered than in those domains which have affected the superstitions men have entertained about themselves."

   The only person who stopped to check if all of this was really true was @Gargron. And he wrote a very helpful post explaining that the bad post on Bluesky was created by the bridge system, which had linked to Harriett's profile and thereby changed the meaning of my original post.

   But Gargron's post was very technical, and I am not sure everyone understood it, and I was still getting angry responses, and more people blocked me.

   So I was very sad to discover all this late last night.

   5/7

   @jenniferplusplus In our case, conversation context is a collection of activities. If we add top-level post (Note) to that collection, it becomes a mixed bag. It's harder to parse, and generally doesn't feel right to me.

   So I want to have two collections, one with activities and one with posts, and use two different properties:

   1. Note.threadContext (or Note.conversationContext) - points to a collection of activities.
   2. Note.thread (or Note.context) - points to a collection of posts.

   My normal writing process is very much fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants with only a map of the underlying worldbuilding ideas to guide me.

   So I find it disturbing, to say the least, to suddenly discover I've got 3-4000 words of detailed plot notes about the next-but-one novel on my to-do list.
