Yeah that annoys me actually more. You often already see in the beginning what kind of (predictable) romance is developing, which just distracts from the main and more interesting plot, adding some kind of annoying drama that is just not necessary.

And from the downvotes I conclude that this will remain a mostly secret judge. It’s sad, that you don’t see it yet, this will very likely be the future whether you like it or not (when we don’t fuck it up completely, but I’m somewhat hopeful).

The argument that meat is cheaper is also not really true anymore. There’s basically no reason to eat meat anymore. Matter of fact, I developed a distaste to meat when I mostly stopped with eating meat, after eating way too much before (tastes kind of rotten compared to plant-based), try it out, it’s easier than you think, and gets easier over time.

Eating meat although they’re fully aware, that we have to shift completely away of that (GHG emissions, land-use), and then blame the government that they need to regulate this more.

Yes more government regulations would be great, but it’s one of the few individual things that have effect, if everyone would think similar. And a vegan or mostly vegan diet is not really worse in taste and likely more healthy as well… Eating meat is not sustainable (nor morally justifieable), it should be a thing of the past…

Which is true for most phones nowadays, as you’re basically talking about OLED.

Yeah I wish I could vote or have some influence over people who would vote for Trump or not at all. But I’m european, so I can mostly just hope that a large amount of muricans don’t fuck everything up…

4o is also not really much better than 4, they likely just optimized it among others by reducing the model size. IME the “intelligence” has somewhat degraded over time. Also bigger Model (which in tha past was the deciding factor for better intelligence) needs more energy, and GPT5 will likely be much bigger than 4 unless they somehow make a breakthrough with the training/optimization of the model…

For that he first has to lose the election. Because for whatever reason he is still allowed to run for presidency has a realistic chance of winning and can pardon him self. Damn Murica is so fucked. I wonder how they’re allowed to be called first world country with such a fucked political and jurisdictional system…

Seemingly, it’s sad. I just cannot fathom this, to me when someone is repeating lies I just declare him idiot. What I find concerning is the level, i.e. they don’t accept logic facts and seemingly once that downward-spiral occured they cannot get out of their screwed conception of the world. I begin to “understand” why Nazis back then had success with what they did…

Yeah I know, but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s a significant amount of people missing a brain… Not that I can do anything about it. And it’s not that europe is way better in this regard with the rise of right-wing-populism (but Trump is just idiocracy level).

Let it be 45%… What the fuck is wrong with a huge amount of muricans? Completely brain dead it seems…

I have hopes, that servo as a little more independent web engine, will thrive in the future

I think it’s just to avoid explaining why, and how they harvest your data. That said, I also hate how a lot of errors of the big corpo are just like “This site has an error” no error-code, no further feedback what to do etc.

I guess ublock origin is doing wonders then, for me it’s still the same…

They obviously have to sell something. I doubt that they honestly think that this will happen.

It did, but not enough (I hope)

Would be interesting to know how much of that the steam deck is

Or buy (also) via something like bandcamp, when the artist is on it. They cut only 10% IIRC

Well I guess it quite depends on your view towards a diagnosis of ASD. For some it can be relief to understand themselves and for some like your case it may weigh you down. The motive of that knowledge and functioning in NT society is important on whether a diagnosis really helps I guess.

I have not yet taken a formal diagnosis because I don’t really see a benefit for me (I have an ADHD one though, but I don’t think it explains the whole story), and as you already mentioned masking is a thing and it seems to get “easier” further in life as you learn to mask better.

For others it may be beneficial. I don’t think you should project your experience onto others, just because it wasn’t good for you.

After all a diagnosis should help you function better in society and understand yourself better. It shouldn’t weigh you down (sorry if that’s your experience).

After having read too many articles about all of that stuff, it’s after all labels for strong and strongly correlating as I like it to call personality traits (or “conditions”). So yeah, if the label (i.e. diagnosis) helps you, good for you. But if you function well enough in society without additional help, sure you probably don’t really need a formal diagnosis, but I don’t see a reason why you shouldn’t self-diagnose, when you’ve done your research, and you want some explanation for your behavior.

If anyone knows your life, it is yourself, so when you know the diagnostic criteria, why wouldn’t you be qualified to self-diagnose?

As an anecdote: I have researched (among other conditions) ADHD and Autism so deeply, that I know probably more than the psychiatrics I had to do with about those (also probably not exactly ND behavior). Having all your behavior be confirmed by someone else is good anyway, but I don’t see a big issue with self-diagnosis when you’ve done your research (and took a few questionaires).
