@hellomiakoda @greenpeace It's not, they've pretty much said straight out loud that they're willing to take a financial hit to push through their agenda of cruelness.

@hellomiakoda I was just thinking about this same thing today, but about another thing. Whether I like it, or want to, or not, because that bee has gotten into my bonnet, I'm going to use an inordinate amount of time and effort to become very good at it, probably not even going to be able to do anything remotely useful with it, and then just end up kicking the bucket.

Not to mention all those other things that are not going to get learned or done, because of the said bee and the said kicking of the bucket. And things left unfinished, things kinda just left hanging in the air or in a limbo, are on my top-ten list of things that give me anxiety, and the realization that life, though it ends, will invariably left unfinished, gives me inordinate amount of existential angst.

You know that thing, when you've just taken out the trash, and then there's new trash, but you haven't put a new trash bag in the bin yet, so now you can't put the trash in there, but having the trash in hand also blocks you from putting a new bag in the bin, and you just end up leaving the trash on the kitchen counter and sneaking away? :meowsip:

@selzero To be fair, nowadays in Finland the news would be "A new ministry of finance report indicates taking ice cream away from kids would create seven million new jobs and boost the economy by three zillion billion Euro. Asked for a comment, the finance minister referred to her post on X, in which she is eating ice cream in front of crying child of non-Western origin, with a caption 'The only thing that tastes better than ice cream are invader tears'. Asked for a comment on this comment, the prime minister responded via his assistant, stating 'we have a great platform that we are executing with the mandate from the people'. The leader of the main opposition party declined to comment."

@hellomiakoda Asahi for the Apple silicon lock-ins?

I'm an autist on permanent disability. It is so disheartening to read all those toots and post and such that proclaim that "My autistic child is a big shot in this impressive professional thing, take that Mr. Kennedy!" And to see other autists themselves proclaim their own worth likewise.

We already have a heightened sense of responsibility, and you're telling us we're not good enough until we become like you or your child. What do you think that will do to most of us, who aren't? "I didn't mean it that way!" Well, why did you feel you need to make that distinction? "Well, you should be..." Well, I feel sorry for you, or your child, or both.

That's it, got nothing further for you. You figure it out.

@pathfinder @actuallyautistic I think the biggest mistake people are making is that they think this is going to be a US thing. It's not, it's going to spread, as illustrated already by the Cass report you mentioned. The same thing is going to happen with autism. Already we're seeing the media hopping on the "it's overdiagnosed" bandwagon even in Europe.

I joke a lot, that's my brain's way to process stuff. Even when I don't yet consciously know that I've noticed something, some pattern developing, I'm already joking about it. For awhile, I've been joking about me been sent to a camp. Except, I don't think it's a joke anymore. I'm starting to expect it for real. Even here in Europe.

@lematin そうだね、PBSとNPRはなかなかニュートラルな報道をしていると思う。そうは言っても、世界中のメディアのレベルが下がっている気がする。営利メディアはもちろん、BBCなどの公共メディアも本当に右翼っぽくなってきていると思う。

@lematin 米国のPBSなの？米国のメディアとして、まあまあ良いかもしれない。NPRを聞くこともある。

@hellomiakoda Oh no... nononono... nonononononononono....

@hellomiakoda I seriously thought that was something Musk had posted on *tter before I read it more closely. (Edit: Just that it sounds like some evil movie capitalist would say, like lets say in Total Recall or something)

@hellomiakoda And then you have the... Magic Mouse... :meowsip:

@actuallyautistic It sucks to have a special interest that you don't even want to mention to anyone anymore, out of fear of bumping into someone else into it, because most everyone else that are, are insufferable <censored>... :blobcatcoffee:

@skinnylatte I especially love it when my ADHD gets me committed to some new and exciting adventure, only to bail out before it starts, leaving the autist-me to try and navigate it, bewildered and burnt out...

Sooo... Where do we stand with #proton now? Any developments? Still ditching it? Staying on? Forgot the whole thing already?

"Since males had dominated these professions for centuries, you would think they would leave slowly, hesitantly or maybe linger at 40%, 35%, 30%, but that’s not what happens. Once the tipping point reaches majority female- the men flee. And boy do they flee!"

@forteller Enda bedre, trengte bare fire ord... :meowsip:

Since I'm trying to become a bit more active again, I guess an introduction is in order again.

I'm a vaguely queer AuDHD with mental health issues on the side, mainly anxiety and depression. An ex-working person and an ex-activist/volunteer currently on disability.

After dropping off the face of the planet into a deep depression, I've started to claw myself back among the living, yet again, and recently started volunteering with ND peer support leading peer support group meetings for the local ND org. I'm hoping to build connections to my peers here too and maybe finally find some semblance of my place in the world.

Feel free to tug my virtual sleeve if need be!

I'm not sure if this is an autistic thing, but I'd bet it might be...

How many of you restart a game when you fail at something in it, even if you didn't have to? Or when you feel like you made a mistake or a wrong choice or whatnot. And I don't mean just loading the last convenient save, but starting anew all the way from the beginning. I do that, a lot, almost with every game (Yes, even casual ones, I restarted the original Life Is Strange I don't know how many times... You can imagine what a chore it was to get through XCOM, which is one of my favorite series). So instead of playing like 20 hours, I spend easily 80 hours going though the game. Provided that I ever actually finish it.

Now, here's the kicker... Ready for it? Does that apply to other things in your life too? I just realized today, that for me it does. I get into something, something ungood happens, I drop it, get rid of my "save game" (that is, whatever I have acquired, tangible or intangible for said thing), then take it up again some time later, start from an empty table, other than the experience from the previous try, maybe get a bit further, something happens...

I've done it with trivial things, like learning a new language. Today I realized I've been doing it with something fundamental about myself. And oh my that realization sucks. Unlike my game characters, I don't... I can't start a new game with the game world, or myself, in the same state every time, neatly rolled back in time. For me, a month, or a yeah, or a decade has passed. It is very ungood. I wanna restart and try again.
