Hey there I replied to the person that replied to you but I think that comment may be of value to you. https://reddthat.com/comment/12415216

And FWIW, there is only one kind of autism. ;)

FWIW if you're 18+ there is less reason to get formally diagnosed. University of Washington did a study some time ago which found self diagnosis is rarely wrong. Link to that PDF here: https://depts.washington.edu/uwautism/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Self-Diagnosed-Adult-Autism-Resources-handout-9-22-22.pdf

A good way to find out is a combination of a couple tests. The RAADS-R is the most accurate known autism test, is is over 80% accurate. Here is a free one that doesn't require registration: https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/

And if you doubt you're autistic in any way (guessing based on wanting to be diagnosed), the CAT-Q is a good test to identify camouflaged autistic traits that you've learned to hide. This one is also free from the same place: https://embrace-autism.com/cat-q/

Feel free to ask if you have questions. I'm late diagnosed myself (was over 30) and it's a big world to navigate blindly!

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I have heard of xxy, but not how it can look neurodivergent, so that will be my light reading for the evening!

OP what makes you think you're not? This post is autistic AF, as someone autistic.

I'm very high masking when I choose to be (sometimes when I'm not.. it's sort of automatic by nature at times) and in a lot of cases people never know. I was in my 30s before I figured it out, and I used to use the saying "I'm not autistic but" a lot.

There are free tests available. AMA (not a pro but I have over 30yrs experience!)

This simply isn't true. They are still cheap even for decent stuff. I got a T15 Gen 2 when it was 2.5yrs old for about $400 on eBay. You're not going to get an even remotely decent laptop in most cases for that kind of money. And to be clear, I love old Thinkpads. I have them going back to the IBM days.

Modern Thinkpads: -easy to work on -plenty fast for most things -still made of the carbon composite and magnesium chassis we like -hinges are beefy -upgradeable ram -available with GPU -lighter and easier to daily than any of the old chonks -replaceable keyboard, track pad and track point, and fingerprint -dual thunderbolt connection (and docks are stupid cheap.. I find them for $30 sometimes)

Downsides exist but they're not the end of the world: -one drive slot (drives are huge now, who cares) -8gb of RAM is soldered but the rest is not (max 40gb) -internal battery but laptop is faster and has better battery life than my maxed out T580

Higher than that, I have a keyboard with 8000hz polling and a mouse with 4000hz polling. Anything over maybe 2k at most is hard to perceive, at least for me

Hell they had a similar incident on Debian servers THIS YEAR. Absolutely unacceptable a corp this half-assed has the type of control it does.

Not the other guy but I learn a lot of high quality information of YouTube. The golden rule for me is longer-form video is generally higher quality. People that know what they're talking about typically aren't going to explain complex things in 30 seconds, or at least not to the depth you should understand it.

Aside from that, I look for people with actual qualifications first. Example, I love psychology so I will look for psychologists, licensed professional counselors, and so on. I'll even listen to life coaches, but more selectively.

The lower on the "chain" they are, the more I will do "spot checks" on information and see if they know what they're talking about (ESPECIALLY if they're making big or new claims about something). For that I'll look into peer-reviewed studies and such for that.

Once you get a small knowledge base it's a little easier to continue. Talk something you have a clue about, and watch a video with that topic from another content creator.

Do all of this for a while and you'll find what you need to.

And don't forget Cool Spot, the 7UP game for SNES!

Yeah I guess that's a fair point.

And at the end of the day, it was clearly difficult for him, or he wouldn't have missed so many times.

I think it's easier than you think, especially from prone and especially if you have any previous experience, which I assume the shooter did.

Here's a page out of a US military training manual to get an idea of how "wide" the front sight looks on a human size target. And remember, Trump is considerably wider than these silhouettes.

Everything reminds me of her.

My first thought as well. I this autistic masking would be more suitable here but technically both could work.

That said, there's a lot of great ideas in this thread.

I'm not going to debate an amateur (as an amateur to be fair) about something that already has a ruling. In 2008, DC v. Heller ruled that the ownership of firearms included the purpose of self defense independent of anything to do with a militia. Link

That said, the federalist paper you linked made a great case for a militia but did not talk about the People's right to bear arms. It was also written 4 whole years before the 2nd amendment was ratified so using as an interpretation tool is not adequate. Similarly, it would make sense to me that if firearm bans were common throughout the 1700s, that in 1792 they would pass an amendment to counter that if they didn't like it...

I don't have in-depth knowledge about the 14th amendment and I don't have time to look right now so I'll ask.. what/how does the 14th amendment have/do that implies an amendment which specifically states "The People" (a protected term, such as in "We The People), did not apply to The People? Federal or not, the meaning is the same. Unless I'm missing something.

Same dev

Intent isn't started. It says the state gets guns (a militia) so the people get guns too.

Not saying you need to agree with the sentiment, but grammatically that is what it says.

You play them.

Funny how that means "I".

I honestly don't understand the joke with the 60%. I understand the progression until then.
