But isn’t “pick up multiple orders at a restaurant, then figuring out in which order to deliver them to minimize time spent delivering” the traveling salesman problem? I thought that’s what the post referred to.

You’re likely gonna experience racism in some form in any community you go to where you are the minority. People are racist, not people of some specific skin color.

So your assessment is correct, if you go to a majority black community you’re probably gonna find people racist against white people.

But when you go to the US, white is still the majority. And if you’re not the majority, you’re mostly still a large part. Statistically, the most racism you’ll experience is everyday racism, where maybe some black people believe you’re an asshole even though you aren’t. Most of the time you’re not going to experience anything.

So they have a dedicated space for spam. Still is spam.

I don’t necessarily think people can be evil.

I know of some of my abusers that they were abused themselves. They knew what they were doing to me wasn’t right but it gave them feelings of power in a world where they otherwise felt powerless.

For others, bullying me was a social sport, just something you did to “belong” to a certain group.

I think what they did was evil, but I don’t think they were evil people. They were normal people with inadequate upbringing put into painful situations that resulted in bullying/abusing me being the only perceived “good” outcome for them. For almost all people who do evil things, this is the case.

I think we all possess the ability to do evil acts in response to certain stimuli, many are just lucky enough never to receive the set of stimuli that causes them to be evil, so they can allow themselves to think they are different, i.e. “good”, and start labeling other people a certain way, i.e. “evil”.

Conversely, I also think all the people who do evil acts are also able to do good acts in certain situations.

What we then call a “good” or an “evil person” is just a person where we perceive a larger share of behaviors attributed to that adjective. But are they evil or good people, is that a quality inherent to them? Or is the environment they grew up in evil or good? Or are humans in general evil or good? Is our perception of the share of each set of behaviors even right?

I think no one deserves for their whole self to be called evil. I think you can call actions evil, and some people may have a lot of these actions, and they’re worthy of being avoided because of that, but I believe they’re the same kind of person than everyone else, just put into terrible situations. So no, I don’t think people can be evil.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. How did those encounters affect you?

What’s stopping you? No money? :D

Of course they are kidding. People change, you can be a POS earlier and change to not be one now.

For what it’s worth, I would have appreciated as a victim if my bullies seeked me out and truly apologized to me. It would’ve restored a little faith in humanity. I don’t care now anymore, but there was a time.

Of course, any feeling that the apology was fake or forced would have ruined the whole thing and had the opposite effect.

You were lucky to grow up in an environment not triggering your natural human evil.

The main reason I didn’t bully anyone was because I was bullied myself.

I’m 35 and when I grow up I want to be psychotherapist. However, I hate university. Fun!

I did for a few months/years, but I stopped a while ago. But you’d never have known I was neurodivergent except by watching me for a while, I wasn’t advertising the fact. I assume it’s the same with a bunch of other streamers, there are probably a bunch, but it’d be kinda difficult to figure out.

Apart from that, streaming I think doesn’t particularly lend itself for autistic folk. We’re just usually not as conventionally charismatic and entertaining. I never had more than 5-10 viewers, and I assume it’s similar with others. You only get bigger if you have mainstream appeal, which I think is relatively unlikely for autistic streamers.

So yeah, I’m interested to see other responses to this thread, but I assume there’ll be little.

The reason this is as public as it is is because an archive like this is more useful the more is archived. If you manage it in an entirely hidden way, you basically won’t get it accessible from the clearnet and are relegated to keep it on Tor or similar. And once you do that, a lot less people will use it and thus it’ll be a lot less useful.

Also, they are not only fighting for an archive to exist, they’re fighting for it being a societally acceptable thing to exist.

Basically you just get a job in some way. I became a programmer and thus earned enough money to afford an apartment by myself. And then I just did that.

Most western countries also have some kind of social safety net. Dunno about Australia. But most often they wouldn’t force you to live with your parents if you lose your job.

There’s something uniquely different to not live together with other people anymore. For everyone I’ve talked to, including myself, living alone for a while was an incredibly important experience, not replaceable by simply “doing things for yourself”.

Only when there’s no one around can you truly figure out what you would want yourself. As long as there’s immediate interaction, just even being seen doing something, there’s some kind of influence on our psyche by this interaction. There’s just some large difference to when you’re completely independent/alone for a while.

Being able to do stuff like you say is fine and makes sense and is good preparation, but it’s just not in the same ballpark at all.

What’s wrong with cksfv?

You’re the one who brought up runit and insinuated it doesn’t have this problem ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t know runit. Maybe runit didn’t even have a way to delay or customize shutdown, maybe it always just waits 5 seconds and then forcibly terminates a process, resulting in you never noticing when a cleanup job was too slow. Maybe you just randomly never installed a particular program with a slow shutdown job while using runit. There’s a bunch of reasonable explanations and possibilities for why this difference exists, and they can all mean systemd is perfectly reasonable.

systemd moment in the sense that someone not affiliated with systemd used systemd to write a stop job that doesn’t terminate quickly? Or that you willingly installed software that brought along a slow stop job with it?

This is like so far away from systemd’s fault, idk, it must just be a meme right?

It works perfectly for me. 5 likes a day is so much that I couldn’t keep up if I was using them all. Have already met several nice people through it.
