beautifully drawn!

not enough, I’d like to be paid proportional to the exploitation of my self sabotage

in many cases autism is what makes me such a good worker

very few students are interested in what and how they’re learning

the app is the piece of junk for taking so long to load on an incomprehensibly fast processor

I feel like this is the crux of it. do they think we WANT to be glued to our screens? social hubs are dead or dying, wrung out for profit. people have less time than ever, having to work and spread themselves thin just to stay afloat. mental healthcare is inaccessible to huge swathes of the population and our parents who can afford it refuse it. outside is a car dependent hellscape with increasingly unpleasant weather and increasingly agitated people. as a neurodivergent person it feels impossible to navigate. the phones don’t exactly help, but they’re certainly not the root of the issue. everybody on social media at this point is well aware of the drawbacks.

voting alone is insufficient

we live under capitalism.

I can see how you would think that, but it’s really both. The mechanical sensation of turning the cube is very satisfying and I make a lot of quick flicking motions with my fingers in predefined patterns. I solve pretty much passively, automatically by now, and never time myself.

I think nearly anything can be a stim. It’s really about what the experience is like to the person doing it, not whether it looks like stimming to you from the outside. Please try not to invalidate anybody’s stim. If you’re confused, ask questions about their experience.

solving Rubik’s cubes is how I keep my hands busy, it’s extremely satisfying and tactile. I do it constantly at my desk, basically whenever I’m thinking or watching something.

I also love putting a blanket between my legs and rubbing them together, it feels like it releases all of my stress and anxiety and gets me super cozy.

you mean all the people who said they weren’t coming back even after the obvious rollback of the policy aren’t coming back? 😱

computer, make me a sandwich

YES I GET THIS SO BAD! I’ve never heard anyone else address it and had no idea if it had anything to do with autism. I hate people pointing out that my appearance has changed unless I’m very close with them.

safety and efficiency will be improved by investment in nuclear. storage needs are dramatically reduced because we now have reactors that can run off of the waste of other reactors, “recycling” it and massively improving efficiency while reducing waste. yes, there are concerns with nuclear, but opposing nuclear is a losing battle. we need nuclear, and yes, the tech needs to develop further, but we won’t get that without investing in it today.

hi I like computers and programming talk to me
