The problem with straight cut statements like “autistic people don’t understand social cues” is that, it really depends on many many things. Like your environment growing up, your personality, your culture, etc. It’s a generic statement with layers upon layers of nuance.

Personally, I realized that people and social cues don’t make sense to me, most of the time, like they were born with a manual I never got.
But then, growing up, you start catching up things and build on that. To me, the autistic thing about it, is that it’s a conscious effort to understand and try to make sense of it.

Everything is important but I don’t care because I can’t prioritise!

Hard and soft links have existed on NTFS for decades at this point

It’s fair to say they can’t support games forever. But in that case make games that don’t need support forever or provide the software to run the games for free after some time.

I don’t know if you feel comfortable with that, but I am pretty open when it comes to my diagnosis.

If I’m asked something like this, I’m usually straight forward about my coping mechanisms.
I have autistic traits and I wear earplugs because I’m very sensitive to noise or wear sunglasses because I can’t handle the light right now, etc.

Most of the time it’s a “oh okay, makes sense” kind of answer, sometimes I get asked more question about it.

One month is not enough to really feel the overwhelming distress of living paycheck to paycheck kicking in.

That’s why I always have ear plugs and sunglasses with me. You never know!

Preferably in an easy, maintainable way. Like markdown in a git repo.

Pretty much!

That definition always bothered me a lot… The hyperactivity is always there, but it’s either internalised, externalised and sometimes it’s both. It’s the intensity of it that can vary a lot from person to person.

Where do you think most of the world’s red meat is coming from? Brazil is one of the top producers and exporters of red meat, deforestation is ravaging the Amazon.
3rd world countries are not eating red meat, we are. The link between rich countries and meat consumption has been established for a long time now.

Most cattle eat soy, not grass, that’s also a myth. Simply because soy is a whole lot cheaper, and a lot more abundant and easier to grow than grass. Also, grass is only slightly better than feed, but it generates more GEG overall because of digestion.

We need soy, so we need monocultures of soy, and that’s catastrophic, just like you said.

Transport is actually not that big of a problem with red meat. Land usage and the actual cattle are. They’re the top source of GEG emissions from agriculture.

You were talking about thermodynamics earlier. Red meat is incredibly inefficient converting resources to usable calories. 1kg of beef requires 25kg of feed.

You’re also using a lot of straw men in your arguments, living in a grass hut instead of a concrete building, or electric vehicles for cattle transportation?

You can enjoy red meat but you can’t argue in good faith that it’s not completely awful for the environment at pretty much every level.

A few sources to support my claims:

The problem is not just the farts, the problem is the absolutely humongous amount of feed and space cattle needs. Most crops grown around the world are used to feed cattle, just like most farmland is used to grow cattle. That’s what’s polluting, producing so much green house gases, deforesting, etc.

No matter how you turn it, red meat is an environmental catastrophe.

They don’t really need to bring it back, it’s always been there, just in other countries

History taught us that corpos would literally burn the world for a few more bucks. And by history, I mean right now.

Even though it failed, it probably highlighted how fragile the balance for sustainable life is, like no other experiment could have.

I think it’s been bought by a shitty spyware company who swore that they will not be mining your data. I bought it many years ago and that made me switch to Kvaesitso.

Good for you for getting out of that!

Neo liberals believe in trickle down economics though.

I mean, a lot of key software are FOSS. A world without linux, curl or ffmpeg would be extremely different.

Keep in mind that these apps are run for profit, by corporations. You meeting someone suitable and leaving the app, means less revenue for them.
So they can be fun to mess around for a while, but unless you’re extremely lucky, don’t expect long lasting relationships from them.
