  • Feel “normal”? Yes, the drug that works. (High dose of cbd for me, a little alcohol can also work in a social setting)

    Actual Neurotypical experience? Biologically impossible.

    Your neurodivergent self is your real “normal”.

    But when you no longer experience symptoms that cause the everyday problems you struggle with and feel like you just function optimal… that’s an amazing feeling allright. But it can almost feel like a high in contrast. Its definitely not what “neurotypicals feel like all the time”

    They have their own days that they struggle or function more optimal.

    The main difference is that there struggles are “normal” ones that “everyone has” and “understands” (y)ours are different and can cause social strife, exclusion.

    Its possible that while your symptoms are gone you fit in better amongst neurotypicals and this sense of belonging is a big part of the neurotypical experience, but your brain is still a neurodivergent one at its core, with all the good and bad that goes on in it.






  • The further we go in time the more complex life in society becomes.

    A feudal lord making logistical decisions about how iron in its economy was still capable to grasp how iron is used/reused to make tools, weapons and contraptions.

    With modern technology our tools have become a black box (almost literally) we use them but we do not understand the components and systems it relies on.

    Many times a bad law can still be followed, proven by the many dumb rules people today still follow regardless of the existence of new facts.

    But when you blanketban vpn? It becomes to nonsensical to even consider following it.

    Vpn is more then just a tool to avoid local internet rules. They are an essential technology for secure connections between devices. Standard in almost any professional corporation.

    (Anti corpo as i am, this time i actually believe there lobbying will stop this. Enemy of my enemy is a useful tool )

    This is the equivalent of the feudal lord looking at the iron logistics and ruling that smithing and metallurgy are now banned practices.

    Leaving people without proper tools to work the land, the soldiers without weapons to enforce any law.

    Greedy neighbour lords ready to exploit your mistake to invade then.






  • There is some nuance to what exactly is banned.

    I self host a vpn at my home that i use to connect to my home network on the go. This is a super common use-case and also cant be used to circumvent regional blocks.

    Work also uses a vpn to securely tunnel company hardware to our servers.

    A blanket ban on vpn software and technology would be ridiculously dumb. Almost as bad as blanket ban on encryption.

    If they make exceptions and only ban vpn with intention to hide and circumvent the law, then you only need some legal excuse if someone comes asking and its more a morality guideline then a criminal law.

    If they blanket ban “vpn technology” i would simply suggest ignoring it. Laws that stupid are too incompetent to take seriously. I recon its completely unenforceable.

    Either way you’re unlikely to be investigated unless the government already has a reason to investigate you. In which case you’re probably fucked no matter how secure your internet.
