Education existed before capitalism. Or are you going to tell me that Socrates was an industrial shill?

When was the last time Randy Pitchford got through a day without being a prick?

Also NT but an introvert: I don’t want my co-workers to understand more than the superficial layer I project. It’s fucking exhausting to exist socially all the time but hiding behind a facade helps.

Nah, if someone on my PvE team is cheating/exploiting that still ruins the experience. I play games like that to get better, the skill improvement is a huge part of the experience for me.

They don’t just put it in there for fun, you can bet that milk powder affects the eating experience in a way most people enjoy. Snack companies invest a ton of money refining every nuance of their recipes.

Very nice supervisor though, the everyday compassion makes big impact.

(Beans are technically seeds, the pod/shell they grow in is the fruit. -botany)

That doesn’t seem to be true. Patents are listed foremost among types of IP in multiple sources.

How are patents not intellectual property?

Why come you don’t have a tattoo?

Probably. Reasonable storefronts are the only thing keeping the warez at bay.

They want fuckin 40 bucks for a vinyl these days and they don’t even throw in a digital download for that price, and the radio is owned by like three companies unless you live near a college station.

Gaben is gonna be the first person to digitally upload their consciousness.

Neurotypical, can’t relate. Put your shit away.

Latency is horrific though.

Not negligible enough. You think it’s a coincidence that “tough on crime” is a consistently successful angle to push?

Plenty of people would rather we throw prisoners into a medieval dungeon because they’re obsessed with “punishment”.

Many game communities have opted for the “unbridled vandalism” strategy to push people away from fandom. Just replace all the articles with plausible lies.

Size only really matters if you’re using the map for overland navigation, and even then it’s more important to preserve compass lines. (And it’s quite telling that the project is just injecting their own bias instead of actually pushing for accurate representation.)

I wouldn’t put too much stock in the weird shit Johnson says without a second corroborating source, personally. He’s an old Marine with some cliche drill sergeant characterization because he started as a throwaway side-character.

Plenty of people who were diagnosed, or just grew up, before ASD replaced Asperger’s as the preferred nomenclature don’t see themselves as in the same bucket as someone who is nonverbal or otherwise severely impacted.
