  • For one by being family and friends supporting those that do have official roles in society. Like a grandma tanking care for grandkids. Or a disabled men always being there to cheer people on at the local sport field.

    In another by having freedom to do what they find valuable for their communities, like creating a shared community garden, helping to organize free local events.

    And even if they do decide to just sit on the coach and do absolutely fuck all and wait for others to prepare their food, which is scientificaly known to not be what anyone wants to do and cause depression, they still aint doing as much evil and damaging as Bezos is right this moment.

    Go watch some star trek, it will help you understand.


  • And the same goes for all the freeloading animals. They say there are species still left undiscovered in the rain forest, if that is true then surely the fact we dont know they exist means they are not contributing and don’t deserve those trees they live in that could provide real tangable profit. Getting rich by cutting them down that is real value /s

    Seriously the notion you need to earn to live, especially in the context where that only means economic labor is toxic and the true negative.

    I will remind you that “the economy” itself is increasingly negative towards society, destroying the future for a profit. And that people without jobs still provide plenty of positives if not, less negatives then “successfull” people like board directors and ceo


  • There is a big overlap beteen the autism and queer communities.

    Something about realizing you don’t fit neurotypical expectations and boxes.

    At some point i realized that while online, i have absolutely no need nor experience gender. Like there is no difference in how i read or reply to your comments wether i would be male or female. Same goes for playing most games, though in rpg i may pick any.

    I do experience gender in some situations, as a partner and parent, because there having a gender makes actual sense. I am not at odds with my birth assigned sex i just dont require it all the time and enjoy experimenting with gender non-conform behaviour.

    Also since i am married i am no longer looking to find a life/sex partner and in a professional setting should strive for gender neutral behaviour anyway.

    As terminology i identify as mostly non-binary, fluid across the binary line but skewed to one side.



  • If your feed has lots of ai i would also recommend blocking some posters, though in my experience lemmy has way more anti ai and downvoting of annything ai then whatever is left of the mainstream networks.

    Another recomendation is to join a smaller instance you align with, you will have a much better experience.

    Yes we do go rather hard left. Especially when it comes to the only war that counts, the class war, ruling elites versus the exploited masses. Its part of what makes this place so refreshing because corporate media heavily dislikes the need for global change. Causing people that agree to flock here.

    And yes you can easily get radicalized here, another thing which is refreshing is how up front and not secretive people are about the fact we do alot of self propaganda for our personal flavor of ideals. After all lemmy is not for children (suprisingly many older people) you have to form your own opinions and people tend to be (on average) more respectfull towards diversity in idealogy. You don’t get insta downvoted as much as you get honest replies of someone wanting to discuss it.





  • My 15+ years of research on the topic is solid tyvm.

    My understanding of both biochemistry, psychology and autism itself is also advanced enough to form an educational opinion on any research i read.

    The facts i give you can easily be verified and have absolutely nothing to do with big pharma.

    I have to question your ability to perform research because it seems to be “Everything that disagrees with my initial belief is conspiracy”

    I am very anti big pharma btw, some of the drugs they give neurodivergent kids are incredibly dangerous. They simply dont have annything to do with causing autism.


  • Thats a cute observation but real facts are the following:

    • Autism was only formally recognized in the 1940s - there’s no reliable data before that, though historical evidence suggests autistic people have always existed. For decades, people deemed “mentally ill” were institutionalized and hidden from society.

    • The majority of autistic people can mask their traits and present as neurotypical - they had strong incentives to do so given the historical stigma.

    • Diagnosis happens more frequently in areas with accessible healthcare, which naturally are also areas with higher vaccination rates.

    • We now have better diagnostic tools and a less punitive society for people with neurological differences. The diagnostic criteria have expanded significantly - many people (especially women) who wouldn’t have qualified under older definitions now do.

    And if we want to include the more modern research done by the autistic community we learn that autism is a part of a bigger phenomenon called neurodivergence which includes adhd and many others. Who also used to be completely excluded by the dogmatic labeling of neurotypicals.

    Also you referring to autism as a serious disease shows how little you actually know about it. Just like anyone else neurodivergent people can have psychological disabilities but because they are neurodivergent those disabilities are often different from neurotypical ones. In ““high functioning”” autism disabilities are subjective in context of living in a neurotypical world and are increasingly less disabling with social acceptance and understanding.


  • Feels weird that i have to explain this, but not all Research is funded by big pharma.

    The majority of research on autism is not about Vaccins either but about understanding the many properties from which it emerges.

    By understanding what autism actually is, which is often studied by autistic researchers who are motivated to understand themselves better it becomes self evident that we are far from reaching a technological point where we can create a drug to cause or even simulate the complex nature of it.

    You could just aswell claim that vaccins cause people to shapeshift into cats, if you understand the subject matter thats just as non-realistic

    If you want to bash vaccines you could state that an experimental accidental wrong mixed variant could cause death. Which would still be an incredibly unlikely freak accident but at least reality allows the technical possibility for such a mistake.


  • Autist here who loves to read research about autism.

    There is absolutely no correlation between autism and vaccines. Neurodivergence cannot be caused by immune system problems.

    People are born autistic with a brain programmed by their DNA to form alternative neurological connections compared to neurotypicals. A neurotypical cannot be turned/mutated into being autistic and vice versa.

    The only correlation that exists is that people who are neurodivergent are prone to develop some unhealthy habits (from extra stress, sleep schedules, and being a picky eater etc) which in turn can lower your immune system.


  • Did you pay for copilot yourself or did your job provide you with a license?

    The enterprise tier of copilot is supposed to have access to such data, though it can be managed trough internal policies.

    Ask it to summarize your latests emails In outlook/teams messages. If it has access to those (and this is intended) then its near certainty also setup to know who is who in the organization.

    Allegedly, the data is “safe” because enterprises is supposedly not harvested and used for training… which makes me conclude non enterprise use absolutely is.

    Allegedly because thats what Microsoft claims and on paper it looks legal. But these tech companies never seem to actually follow the law to such a degree that any claims that unmistakably seem to fit within the legal framework automatically are sus to me.

    I had an idea to go to events that you believe will be disappointing.

    If it is disappointing you were mentally prepared for it and can have a (respectful) laugh about it.

    But whenever something mildly exciting does happen it will hit multiple fold.

    Never convinced anyone to come with.


  • As an autist, unironically no.

    I dont want to clean all that. Neither would my family. I definitely dont want frequent other people as staff to clean it, disturbing our peace or rummaging though our stuff.

    I could just sell it and stay living where i am but i have serious questions about this salay and where it comes from? I don’t need your capitalism blood money and i dont want to be used as some psychological example of “look at this winner, you can win too”.

    I dont want to have media at my door to interview the person that was given uber wealth.

    I dont want to be part of the billionaies that i believe should not exist.

    The tuesday driving thing would technically not be an issue because i refuse to drive a car also.


  • Been there and i know a real answer to this:

    Its because our interfaces are optimized for pictures and not text. I am old enough to remember you needed a plugin to see thumbnails on reddit and doing so what controversial because bandwith.

    But Pictures get more clicks and we have been self optimizing its effect. Depending on view we even get all content at once because they tend to use common dimensions.

    Text posts are given much less presence and making them look good in a feed is different for a oneliner, poem or deepdive.

    Maybe we need to start making front covers for longer text and use vectorbased display mechanics to convert short text into efficient pictures with own background.

    thumbnails also has a more button feeling driving psychological engagement.

    If you sort by top you can clearly observere it.
