Maybe even a cognitive

I can't speak for all of us, but I prefer "Autism" as a blanket term (that we hopefully all understand covers a wide spectrum anyway) over "Disorder". Yes, I get that we deviate from the neurodevelopmental norm, but "Disorder" feels condescending to what I perceive as simply a different way of working.

I also understand that some with higher support needs may differ from that perception. My opinion is not universal.

On the other hand, I'm perfectly fine with calling my ADHD a Disorder. Shit's chaotic as fuck.

If someone tells you they're a Nazi, believe them and treat them accordingly.

I'm still in denial about him pulling such a terribly undignified marketing crap. I refuse to believe it. I just can't accept a world where such satire actually happens.

I love þat you're trying to bring ðe þ and ð (back) into English.

Only the pink-haired ones, the feminists, trans-women, those with terminally complicated pregnancies, the victims of abusive husbands beating them to death, those seeking medical treatment they can't afford...

So long as you're healthy or wealthy, submissive and breedable, mindful and demure and all the other misogynistic ideas we make fun of because they shouldn't be real and serious, you'll be fine.

I never thought they'd eat my face

I browse all a lot to look for interesting new communities. Every now and then I come across a new community from ani.social, the NSFW instance or something, and on Voyager I can't seem to block entire instances. I also don't know if there's a way to filter only the communities without blocking the users too, but as it stands, I may have to look for another app to block the instances entirely.

Shouldn't, definitely. But for a while, it will keep running, because that's how a lot of speculative investment works.

Poor lady, victim of a fucked up religion enforcing sexist bullshit, became an bullshitter in turn. I feel sorry for her.

Doesn't mean I excuse the crap she's dumping out there, of course.

It can! For a while. Isn't that the nature of speculation and speculative bubbles? Sure, they may pop some day, because we don't know for sure what's a bubble and what is a promising market disruption. But a bunch of people make a bunch of money until then, and that's all that matters.

Misunderstandings happen, I don't think any malice was intended

Those evil leftists always pushing... checks notes corporate culture!

I think the point was that some numbskulls try to pull a "checkmate vegans" claiming that. You probably know the type, obnoxiously trying to butt in on vegan discussions and go "but if you're fine with breastfeeding, you're not really vegan", misunderstanding (or misconstruing) the motivations in the same vein as mentioned before.

Oh believe me, I would change some things about that database if I could. Alas, I'm just the analyst building data models from it.

(To be fair, it's otherwise easy to work with and for most use-cases, it doesn't matter since they're aggregated per month anyway, so I just load the last month's data on the 2nd of each month. I definitely have worse patients to operate on.)

The ball was a blue pool ball, on a wooden table that I can't describe because I suck at describing things (but I do have a visual of it). I didn't even imagine the person beyond the hand coming up to push it off.

The ball color might have been decided on the moment I read the question, I'm not sure whether it was part of my image before that. Person is still nondescript even after trying to "zoom out". I just can't seem to come up with it.

Sarcasm so scathing I nearly cut my eye reading it

I keep thinking about the guy complaining that Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine got political with that one picture of his guitar, and the reddit comment or whatever asking what type of machine he thought the band was raging against - kitchen appliances?

I think he made decent enough content when the competition wasn't particularly fierce, then kept coasting on the early adopter acclaim.
