yeah. i'm fully willing to believe a bunch of these tech ceos are neurodivergent as they claim. HOWEVER. we all know neurodivergent people who don't weaponize their neurodivergence to justify eugenics, mass surveillance, or just plain being shitty to people. we don't have to respect your autism excuse when you do something shitty and then ask you why you did that.

the issue with maga recognizing it is they relish it. that's what they're here for. they think this is what it means to hold the elite accountable: sending mean tweets, being a petty bitch, lashing out omnidirectionally.

where trump is losing people, and i'm starting to really see it in my community, is his claims that america has never been more affordable than it is today. you can lie about why you're going to war and the dangers posed by people racists don't talk to, but you can't lie about the price of bread. you can't hide that. everyone can tell if the cost of living is getting better or worse. they can tell because we're all living it

it would be if voting was a more complicated system than "things get worse? (y/n)"

we would need a direct democracy, i think, in order to have a society that requires only from us to vote, and even then there's the matter of that someone needs to carry out the results of those votes. so even in a direct democracy, we would likely need to discuss politics, make plans together, resolve conflicts, and address immediate needs in our communities

so die off the exact same way netscape did, in the process learning absolutely nothing

people been saying how we as a society measure browser usage is all wrong. i've thrown up my hands at this point. the people with the most to gain from correcting this systemic failure, mozilla, have fully committed to sacrificing everything that made themselves valuable. i will continue to use the outcome of their work, at least in part, via zen at work and librewolf at home. as they continue to chase a market that isn't there—people who don't want to use a browser with the problems of chrome, but with all the problems of chrome—maybe at some point they'll realize that they are wasting time and resources on a lost cause and dedicate themselves to some other course of action. but at this point i have more hope that zen and librewolf contributors will fork gecko, switch to goana, or servo will grow into something than that mozilla will ever get their shit together.

unless you absolutely must, don't think about it

that's where i'm at, too, but i've known a few people who view their body's need for nutrition as an impediment to their ability to be productive. they're very sad people…

i mean. have you encountered soylent culture? white people get marketed to like eating sucks and all your nutrients should come in a tube

i also interpreted this how you did. you are not alone, internet stranger

just a reference to filling a ballot

most stainless steel is not true stainless steel and instead simply stains less. to deal with the low pH environment of honey (4 pH), you would need a high performance stainless steel or alloy to avoid leaching flavor from the alloy into the honey. most cutlery is 416 which will corrode under the conditions of being in honey. true silver, i think, would be fine in that environment, but i wouldn't want to put a spoon in honey without being confident it was a higher performance compound than 416, and at that point i could just get a cheap dipper
