  • I feel much more comfortable in dark rooms, with dark mode screens and quiet.

    I am ADHD and ASD though, and it’s ASD that leads to sensory overload conditions that make the dark, quite rooms help me a ton.

    My pediatrician has told me that boys with ASD have a 90% chance of having ADHD, and its fairly common for girls as well, though not near 90%.

    I suppose, since ASD diagnosis is difficult in more subtle cases and it costs a fair amount of time and money that there are a ton of folks diagnosed with ADHD that are also ASD and don’t realize it.

    I identify with this because of my ADHD.

    But also, because ADHD, I spent about 15 minutes in a “does not compute” loop because bats can see perfectly well in the dark, so using them as an analogy involving something being lost and helping them by turning the lights on is just not making sense to me.

    I’ve broken out of the loop, but I still am not sure why “bats”




  • This. I’m glad they are getting rid of the sham of a kids client. It’s a joke that anyone should think the content is kid safe. No more lulling parents into a false sense of security.

    I was supervising my son watch this one day and had to step away for a few minutes to answer the door. When I was gone a new video came on with Peppa Pig murdering her family and all the characters from the show. Actually bleeding and all.

    I reported the video, didn’t get taken off the kids platform. So I contacted support - they said it was kid safe.

    Kid safe?! Dafuq? I had his account set to under 6 and this is what they consider kid safe?


  • I think it depends on personal preference and what kind of user you are.

    If you are going to engage in trolling and just being the kind of person someone wouldn’t want to hire its probably best to hide your identify.

    Likewise of you just want to keep it a secret.

    My identity has been out there on the internet for a long time. Ran a web community, work in IT. I might delve into grayer topics on social media than on LinkedIn, but I try to check myself and ensure I’m considering others and my behavior before allowing myself to just pump raw emotion into comments.

    Not going to claim to be 100% successful at either of those but hey I try.

    I limit what information is shared about me as much as I can afford to given the nature of the industry I work in.
