Learning and practicing cardiac coherence has helped me a ton too. I do 10/15 minutes a day, it’s really nice to reduce anxiety

If you manage to have executive dysfunction but not worry about it, I think it would be a massive win. You can work your way around it, instead of fighting it and feeling guilty

I’m pretty sure Fallout fans would also not like it. The Fallout world is absolutely atrocious

For the unique fingerprint, using a lot of privacy apps /extensions makes you stand out more, because you’re likely the only person to use that exact configuration. The best way to hide is by obfuscating the data and sending random garbage.

I’d agree if Epstein Files were only involving Americans, which is definitely far from being the case

I absolutely love the fact that we’ll most likely never get rid of stuff like that in AI generated content. There will always be things that are wrong/wonky with it.

The problem is when they start making it acceptable to the masses

Especially when a good senior dev with a good grasp of AI can do wonders.

One of the only things no amount of money can buy: consent

They definitely don’t want to be treated the way they treat others

I have the option to use WSL at work, it’s not perfect but it’s so much better than having to code on a glorified web browser.

Stardew Valley works pretty well with a controller

That’s a lot for someone who doesn’t understand computers beyond Windows and MacOS. People also don’t realise that since the PS4 and the Xbox One every console is just a X86-64 machine. So, I think it’s a good move from Valve. Also it will be easier to manage and optimise for Valve if all their hardware is the same, a bit like Apple.

The fact that you can pet her, even if it’s only under certain circumstances, is great! Trust can take years to form, but it’s always rewarding

Yes and it’s amazing, but it’s not a fix all solution. It helps with focus, executive dysfunction and fatigue, but psychological and psychiatric support is really necessary.

The problem with straight cut statements like “autistic people don’t understand social cues” is that, it really depends on many many things. Like your environment growing up, your personality, your culture, etc. It’s a generic statement with layers upon layers of nuance.

Personally, I realized that people and social cues don’t make sense to me, most of the time, like they were born with a manual I never got.
But then, growing up, you start catching up things and build on that. To me, the autistic thing about it, is that it’s a conscious effort to understand and try to make sense of it.

Nope, but close enough ! The first one we got is called Glitch, we then got another almost identical black cat so we called her Copycat or Copy for short

Everything is important but I don’t care because I can’t prioritise!

I don’t know if you feel comfortable with that, but I am pretty open when it comes to my diagnosis.

If I’m asked something like this, I’m usually straight forward about my coping mechanisms.
I have autistic traits and I wear earplugs because I’m very sensitive to noise or wear sunglasses because I can’t handle the light right now, etc.

Most of the time it’s a “oh okay, makes sense” kind of answer, sometimes I get asked more question about it.

One month is not enough to really feel the overwhelming distress of living paycheck to paycheck kicking in.

That’s why I always have ear plugs and sunglasses with me. You never know!
