Specifically, that’s a Symptomatic treatment. It doesn’t fix autism or make you less autistic, but can sometimes help you meet life goals.

I too am an ape

Have you considered… Asking them? If they lie they lie and you’ll find out they’re a shit person (and know it) pretty shortly.

But yeah if you want to get psycho about it just follow them to work.

Not every men’s group is a shitty stereotype.

determine the relative “okayness” in an individual case

Well, yeah?

OP asked the question in general terms, I answered in general terms. With more specific information you can make a more specific judgement. That’s why I said “stereotype, not rule” and separated is vs ought?

I don’t need to list out every possible reason someone might want a gendered group to show that there is a valid reason. Instead just give one. In fact I avoided talking about domestic abuse shelters exactly to avoid this sort of ‘whataboutism’.

As ~always with gender and politics, there’s a pretty big gap between what is and what ought.

What is: The people who make and seek out men-only groups have a stereotype of being shitty, sexist people. The stereotypes around women-only groups are a lot weaker and less negative. These stereotypes are not rules, but do certainly lead to some social stigma.

What ought 1: In a better world gender-specific groups might exist for people to find support and connection around their gendered experiences. There’s some experiences that aren’t commonly shared across genders and it can be a lot easier and safer to share with people who you know also have that experience.

What ought 2: In a still better world there wouldn’t be a significant desire for such groups because we are all sensitive and caring enough that such a group doesn’t make sharing meaningfully easier or safer, because it’s already easy and safe.

Yes. Haven’t even had any really bad scrapes or anything.

Some odd I pass out from blood loss (like everyone). Or pain. Also I’m gonna have even more wicked scars on the sides of my fingers. But like, no broken bones and no major trauma is just really survivable.

Uhh, clouds? Duh

White Males in the USA - the category they were measuring me against

Funny enough, I took shots to get taller. They helped a bit - I’m at average now 5’10". Without I probably would be <<5’

Fibonacci heaps are pretty cool. Not used very often b/c they’re awful to implement, but better complexity than many other heaps.

Also Binary Lifting is closer to an algorithm than a data structure but it’s used in Competitive Programming a fair bit, and isn’t often taught: https://cp-algorithms.com/graph/lca_binary_lifting.html

And again closer to an algo tham a data structure, but Sum over Subsets DP in 3^n also has a cool little bit of math in it: https://cp-algorithms.com/algebra/all-submasks.html

If you’re confused it’s fine to just ask which one to use

Go and Python and Typescript all have their own footguns.

I assume Rust is the same, but haven’t used it personally to see

Also the number of outcomes isn’t connected to the solution space reduction the way you say. If you don’t know whether the fake coin is heavier or lighter, both tilt-right and tilt-left are effectively the same result. So at least your first test really only has 2 meaningful outcomes.

In general, you’ll only reduce your solution space DOWN TO (not by) 1/(number of distinguishable outcomes) if the possible solutions are evenly divided among those outcomes. It’s easy to have a problem where “result 1 narrows it down a lot, result 2 doesn’t tell us much”

If you don’t know whether it’s heavier or lighter, after the first test shows uneven you still have 6 coins possible. You can do it in 3 tests only if you know lighter vs heavier for the fake coin.

Oddly enough, out of all of these the one the compiler has the best chance of optimizing out is the last one
