Getting all panicked because someone used a period instead of an exclamation mark in a message.

How about this one: High levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causes autism.

The rise in autism prevalence since the 1980s correlates with the rise in the number of vaccines given to infants. Though the cause of autism is likely to be multi-factorial, the scientific foundation to rule out one potential contributor entirely has not been established.

"Trans people are mentally ill! They need therapy."

Okay I'll go to the psychiatrist and tell her how I've always dreamed I could be a girl

Psychiatrist says "okay, my diagnosis is ICD-10 F64.0 Gender Identity Disorder in Adolescence and Adulthood. You're trans. You should consider transition."

"No, not like that, I meant you should be threatened and tortured until you shut up."

It sure is wild seeing senior developers with 20+ years of experience whining and complaining towards the end of any given month about how they're out of AI tokens and now they can't do work until the 1st unless they get more tokens. Like these are people who have been coding since the 20th century complaining about how they can't code anymore without AI. What are we even doing.

It's not that neurotypical people can't enjoy being around neurodiverse people. We're oftentimes pretty awesome people once you learn how we work best. But also... Like attracts like. And a lot of the time our subconscious can guide us to people like ourselves long before the conscious brain ever figures it out.

It's not that "everyone is #adhd these days". It's that you just so happen to be hanging around in the places lots and lots of #actuallyadhd people hang out. Which might be something you introspect a bit further about why you find those places and people comfortable.

I wish dual DisplayPort KVMs weren't so expensive. I would love to have a setup for 4-5 laptops and desktops where I can swap between them all with a button click. Gaming computer, development computer, work computer primary, work computer secondary, spare port for whatever else. My desk is such a mess of cables.

@Nickiquote Says a man who has been Secretary of State while a dozen or more top foreign officials including a head of state was assassinated by a foreign power, and another was violently kidnapped and is being tried in a foreign country.

Wow, I didn't realize just HOW anti-sex workers corporate social media has become. Like many don't even MENTION OnlyFans or an acronym or a euphemism or whatever without risking getting banned. A few I've noticed limit themselves to saying things like "Search for (their username)".

Also, it's not unusual for a lot of your neurodiverse Systems to manage symptoms to break down and no longer function when you hit burnout.

Ask me how I know.

(Hint: I'm in burnout)

Men, live your lives in such a way that any false accusations of sexual assault sound so out of character as to be obviously false. When multiple women can independently say your treatment of women is toxic, it doesn't even matter if the assault TECHNICALLY happened, you've got no credibility left.

Do I "Recommend" JIRA?!? snort what the fuck. Who RECOMMENDS using JIRA?

Ah yes, I recommend you use Microsoft Office to edit documents because ... It's the one you have to use to edit documents.

"How likely are you to recommend (literally any required corporate software I'm forced to use) to a colleague"

Ha. Haha. Hahahaha!

Holy fuck I just ... When would I recommend software to a colleague unless it's "I recommend you use (the software you have to use to get your paystubs) because it's the only way to get your paystubs"

@rooster That the 14th Amendment didn't guarantee birthright citizenship was some crackpot white supremacists' nonsense legal theory until last year when Trump proposed it. Then suddenly out of the woodwork, Conservative lawyers suddenly and mystically "discovered" this hidden secret interpretation that says it didn't mean what it says, and pumped it out on the right wing sloposphere.

It's worth remembering - they literally live in a completely different information sphere than we do, full of bizzaro news and commentary. Those justices and politicians, brains are cooked by their constant consumption of crackpot conspiracy theories and nonsense cherry picked lies.

@cwebber one more edit: the justice's name is Thomas not Thompson 🙂

@cwebber FYI, that's from Thomas's concurrence, not from the majority opinion. Still awful and gross, but nobody else signed onto that particular opinion.

I'm not neurodivergent, I just have a complicated System of which foods are "ingredients" and which are "food", and I can't eat "ingredients" until they've been made into "food". (Sarcasm - I'm certainly somewhere in the "low" end of the spectrum of autism and moderate to high in ADHD in various ways)

Just to note:

When you take a self assessment for ADHD or Autism and it asks something like:

"do you have difficulty with ABC?"

And your response is

"I don't have difficulty with ABC. I've developed a System that I use to deal with ABC, and when I follow the System, I can do ABC. So it's not difficult."

... Then you have difficulty with ABC. Mark yes on the question.

It certainly hits differently when the people convicted of terrorism with absurd sentences are the sorts of people I might follow on social media and not those I have cultural and ideological differences from.

Obviously ACAB and I'm not supporting cops being able to put ANYONE away for 100 years. But it's still something that feels differently and more personal.
