WTF

  • Im not American. I dont need to remember anything about the ridiculous things you have said. You are clearly and plainly a moron. The democrats lost because a lot of Americans are morons like you. The vast majority of every developed country if the planet has been rolling their eyes at your stupidity for decades. Amazingly, you doubled down and made it worse at every step. Now you have nazis in charge. You somehow blame Kamala for this? I honestly don't know if there has ever been someone more stupid than you.

  • To be fair, no it isnt.

    It's black people.

    No it isnt, but you see my point.

    Its inconsiderate assholes, not old people. Inconsiderate assholes are all ages. For instance, you are an inconsiderate asshole.

  • Ok. Fine I get what you're saying. I read the page from the university i work for, and also Harvards information. I didn't read wikipedia.

    Regardless, the exact same point can be made. Explain to me how this makes the term suitable in the context of this post.

    My entire point is that a "neurodivergeant" person is not one kind of person. It's many different kinds of people. It's autistic people, it's people with ADHD. It's a broad term. I myself was thinking that of course antisocial personality disorder would be neurodivergeant and a reason to be perceived as an asshole. The post makes no sense because to answer it, you would have to evaluate every single kind of neurodivergeant person.

  • Everyone is neurodivergent. The term is often used to describe people on the autistic spectrum. I think that something along those lines is what you meant to say while you told me to educate myself.

    The thing is, championing neurodiversity is good for those on the autistic spectrum, but that doesn't mean that neurodiversity doesn't include all the other ways in which no two brains are the same. There is no diagnostic criteria for being neurodivergent. Two neurodivergent people may share no common ground at all.

  • It's because the phrase "neurodivergence" is an umbrella term. It's all but useless in the context given. That's a fact no matter how cool and breezy you are about people with disabilities.

    I have an older brother with cerebral palsy - I know no other life than one that sympathizes with people with disabilities. I dedicated my life to helping children with disabilities. I have worked with children with cerebral palsy, autism, adhd, dyspraxia, downs syndrome, retts syndrome, ALS and many other conditions and brain injuries for a chunk of my life spanning over 20 years. I was treating them from before Ritalin was used to treat patients with ADHD (in England at least).

    The term "neurodivergence" is not useful in the context it is used in here. Everyone is neurodivergent, and the terms popularity modern times has tweaked it to mean something else that is not clear. A social media "tag" used as an umbrella term is just that. It's not a diagnosis or an excuse because it's not one thing.

    It is exactly like saying "i have fibromyalgia" - because that is also an umbrella term that leads to the question, "What does that mean in this context?"

    The umbrella term "neurodivergence" includes both conditions that aren't an excuse and are an excuse for behaving like an asshole. Anyone can claim they are neurodivergent because they are. Therefore some people will use the term as an excuse for behaving badly no matter what their quirks are.

  • The people who worship it are also the people who screwed it all up. It's like a failed experiment that needs to be reset. The freedom that everyone speaks of is mostly just one person's way of taking freedom from another.

  • I'm definitely a recent convert. I hate Windows 11 and all the various features it shoves down my throat these days. I bought a steam deck and ended up dabbling in the desktop mode enough to realize the learning process will be mostly fun for me. I'm mostly gaming these days anyway. I don't use the computers I have at home for much more than that.

  • Honestly, the longer I have been away from it, the more dumb it seems. So I don't care. I can still read it, and I do - mostly to look for hardware related computer information from people who know more than me.

    Im in the medical field and have already spotted several posts giving incorrect medical advice that I now can't correct. It used to be my thing. Its a shame the admins don't concentrate on that kind of harmful misinformation, but whatever.

  • No...they're much dirtier than that, apparently, although it's difficult to know for sure. There are many results in Google if you look for methods, and sometimes people in the biz chime in with some good answers, but it's still mostly speculation.

  • Yeah. "Reddit admin" is the 5th Cluster B personality disorder. Its like when you're young and the guy in class with the most prominent Adam's apple gets put in charge while the teacher takes a piss.
