This guy and his name calling lol. What grade is he in?

"I won the Debate." - lol, what?? There were no points. No one won. It was merely a chance for each candidate to appeal to the voters.

"Everyone knows this" - No they don't. If everyone knew that, he wouldn't be saying it just like he's not saying that we're on planet Earth because everyone already knows that.

"KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD." - She was the Vice President. Her role is basically to break ties in the Senate and go to social gatherings to fill in for the President.

"THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" - Cause he saw how much it affected him in the polls. If the debate had helped him, he'd be calling for more debates. It would make no sense to be losing but declining debates because it helped the polls.

He must have seen how stupid he looked up there. She was laughing at him with his stupid pet-eating rant. The dude tanked his chances with that part alone. The "concepts of a plan" was just a bonus.

As I got older, I realised that there were no real winners and there were no real losers...but there were victims and there were students

I love the compassionate intervention that allows @[email protected] the opportunity to learn and correct his behaviors and models that level of compassion. Thank you very much! ๐Ÿ˜Š

oh, you mean the guy that declined tons of money to commit treason against Queen Elizabeth (original) for the Pope even tho the Queen was talking shit about him? if being loyal to your Anglican Queen over money and your own Catholicism is "selling out", then yes, he did "sell out". or if by "selling out", you mean that he wrote real songs about depression rather than court-approved fancy-pants uppity shit the jesters were twerking to, then yeah, he "sold out" there too...get out of here with that bullshit.

Thank you! We're really excited. I've added the main instance community to the sidebar here. However, since we're so new, there aren't really any communities. Waiting on users to sign up and start making it a place of their own. However, I do plan on making some communities when I get a chance.

Lemmy.Autism.Place

In the past year since this community was founded, we have seen impressive growth, engagement, and support within this community. Based on the content of what we have seen, we created an instance just for us founded on the principle of autism acceptance. The point is to have our place tailored to where we could freely be our autistic selves. While of course, we will federate with the other Fediverse instances that match our values, the purpose of the instance is to be able to create communities that are not solely limited to directly discussing autism, but to allow us to discuss all sorts of interesting topics in an way that is comfortable to us.

  • Want to have a community solely for memes about autism without worrying if it will clog up the one autism community on lemmy.world? Come over and make that community.

  • Have an obsession with the Battle of Stalingrad and want to drop some good info dumps from time to time? Make a community for that.

  • Do you have trouble with social situations and want to run them by others without being ridiculed by bullies? We can make a community for that too.

  • Don't want to only interact with autistic people? We're federated into the Lemmyverse, so you can subscribe to communities in other instances as well.

Come on over and feel free to sign up! Eventually, we hope to expand to other Fediverse services/software to provide a more comprehensive place.

Of note: we just started the instance, so it is possible that we will have some technical issues come up. If we do or you notice anything, please let us know in our chat. We would be happy to address it.

What will happen to [email protected]?

We will continue to maintain this community. We will make a post if we foresee any major changes to this community to allow users to prepare beforehand, so there is no need to worry. Nothing is expected to change here anytime soon.

We hope you find the new instance welcoming and decide to be a part of it.

Aging is a good sign tho. The only people that don't age are dead.

that video is limited in accuracy as it is predicated on the idea that the split brain was originally a single organ but became divided at some point leading to more defined differences between the two sides whereas those of us born this way have had our whole lives to cope, adjust, and compensate at the conscious as well as subconcious level

Thanks for sharing! What would you change in the video?

I have a somewhat elevated sensitivity to interpersonal interactions that result in involuntary embarassment displays that i try to ignore but seldom succeed at...and aside from the occasional redfaced reaction to a normally undetectable stimulus i think ive done pretty well

That sounds interesting! Could you share some stories with us please?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (3 children)

woahhhh, you are two!! do you have any other interesting differences due to the lack of corpus collosum, like being able to draw 2 separate things at the same time?

here's a relevant video that describes a neat experiment: https://youtu.be/wfYbgdo8e-8

I found out at 40. According to everyone in my life, they were pretty sure I was autistic within mins to hours of meeting me.

 

Sometimes adding a blank character helps with formatting. For example on Lemmy, it helps me separate lines of text if I insert a blank character between other lines. Currently, do that by copy-and-pasting the blank character from elsewhere. Here is an example

Is there a way I can do this on Linux easily from the keyboard? I am using KDE Neon and have the compose key enabled so that I can easily type uncommon characters like โ€ฝ, รฑ, and รฉ easily.

 

I'm still on my journey of understanding the differences between autism and other. My focus today is eye contact, so let's have a discussion!

Guiding questions:

  • What do you think is the underlying difference that causes autistic people to use less eye contact than others?

  • What does it feel like for you?

  • How do you interpret other people's eye contact?

  • Do you avoid it, use short glances, or maintain NT-levels of eye contact?

  • Does it vary by situation?

  • Anything else you would like to discuss regarding eye contact?

Question is open to anyone. If not identified, then the assumption is the user is autistic. Otherwise, if you're NT or other ND, please state so ๐Ÿ™‚

Share away, please! Btw, I believe everyone has the right to understand in their own way how autism and society interact, so please don't feel the need to exert too much effort on pedantry unless you really want to. Personally, I appreciate diverse persepectives because I feel it gives me a well-rounded view of the situation. It's like if we were all standing around an object. I can only see my side, but if we all shared our own perspectives, then we could see 360*.

 

I think it would be interesting to share lessons we've learned about socializing that didn't come natural to us like they do for NTs.

  • What social difficulties did you have, and what did you learn to compensate for them?

  • Also, since there's a difference between autistic and NT cultures, what lessons did you learn about socializing with NTs and in NT environments?

Infodumps are welcomed! ๐Ÿ˜

 

Hi!

I know that this question was asked several months ago, and the response was that there wasn't a setting for it. Has a setting that blocks posts with keywords been implemented since?

Thanks in advance!

 

They say it's a picture of atoms, but what are the atoms: the glowing yellow balls or the entire meatball including the darker red? If it's the meatballs, then why do some have apparently two nuclei?

Here's the public press release: https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/05/cornell-researchers-see-atoms-record-resolution

Here's the actual scientific article: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abg2533

  • Corner guy is my bladder: They don't know I need to pee.
  • Right side couple is my sensory system: Yes we do. It's really obvious.
  • Left side couple is my executive system: But the Golden Age of Piracy is too interesting.

  • Decide you will finally make a to-do list to catch up
  • Set a time to make it sometime later today
  • Don't make said list because you already accomplished making this list

  • Panel 1: I definitely stick out as different from others
  • 2: because I'm hypersensitive to physical sensations and emotions.
  • 3: I also have trouble difficulty reading social cues and other people's intentions.
  • 4: I also have trouble difficulty reading social cues and other people's intentions.

I'm on a meme creation roll, baby!
