What's the harm in this person recognizing that their autism plays a role in their enjoyment of specific activities? If it were more stereotypical (a model train set for example) would you have the same gut reaction to go "you don't have to be autistic to enjoy making model trains buddy"? Plenty of demographics enjoy a family/neigborhood barbecue, does that remove the cultural significance of the black cookout? Do you patronizingly comment that everybody likes cookouts?

I genuinely don't get the impetus for neurotypical people to hop in the comments of neurodivergent people posting about the intersections of neurodivergence and joy to just go "well makes plenty of people happy, what does that have to do with neurodivergence???" Like, do y'all just think if a neurodivergent person isn't talking about the ways their brain doesn't work "right", then they have no right to talk about something and how it relates to their condition? Just kidding, y'all complain about and diminish that too

Nevermind the three sentences preceeding it asking questions and reframing the comment in similar situations to demonstrate how/why it can be seen as patronizing. Genuinely, how do you see your original comment supportive? Honing in on the last sentence of my first paragraph and summarily dismissing me as "angry" is also a really convenient way of ignoring the substance of my criticism.

I'm not mad, I'm a bit annoyed at the trend I was commenting on, and pointed out how comments like those are the flip side of people dismissing the struggles of neurodivergent people. Your response here echoes the same dismissive and patronizing tone of your original comment, so I must be missing something. What am I missing?

Their bathrooms are nice, their food is good by rest stop standards, and their gas is on the cheaper side. It's a solid choice to stop at when you're on the road if you're unsure about nearby options. That's it. I don't get the white suburbanite consumerist cult integrating a gas station into their personality. It's like funko pop people but somehow worse

Mind fucking, rhetorical tricks, and newspeak are a considerable part of what got us into this mess. Socialism as a political and economic philosophy is a great starting point for undoing the damage wrought by hierarchical domination, we ought to be up front and honest about what it means. Let the socialists define it on their terms, and then put their money where their mouth is when the time comes

Did my GERD write this?

The lobster werewolf man is wearing a yarmulke

Can't speak for the music but red and white braces = nazi skins. I didn't see any colored laces so it's hard to say for sure if they're white supremacists, the color code has fallen out of fashion too. If there was a variety of colored braces and laces it'd be pretty easy to say they're not nazi skins, but the fact that everyone is wearing red and white is sus as fuck

Fair enough!. I can only speak for parts of the midwest (from family stories) and the north florida scene. Red braces and laces are still very much a thing here among white supremacists. You don't see many nazi punks up here but they're still around. There isn't much of a skinhead scene generally in north florida anymore, and the color code is slowly falling into obscurity with the exception of red, what little else remains has been absorbed into the more general punk/diy scenes and is seldom seen

I wouldn't know, I'm not a nazi. But given the sheer amount of cognitive dissonance and flat out stupidity needed to be a nazi, I wouldnnt be surprised if they did

Got this as a gag gift one year, pic isnt mine. I didn't feel like looking for my copy lol

Considering only 25 per 1000 rapists get sentenced to prison, and only ~50% of murderers are found, with only ~70% of those found being convicted (that's about 350 per 1,000), cops are already doing fuckall about the rapists and murderers.

Perhaps you should be answering your own question considering the current system in place flat out doesn't fucking work

I know this is a shitpost but I can't help myself, paralytic drugs also paralyze your diaphragm and only last a few minutes. Pancuronium is the longest lasting paralytic and a single dose will get you 60-90 mins max. Youd spend your time fully conscious while suffocating and be dead before anyone could notice your sweet prosthetic makeup.

Also, you'd still have a pulse and warmth/color to your skin. Paralytics don't stop your heartbeat, and are know to raise it to dangerous levels or cause dysrhythmias if not carefully controlled. So anything more than a passing glance (assuming you lived long enough for it to matter) would immediately give up the game and you'd be defenseless

Can't corner the dorner! God I miss old 4 chan sometimes (not really but it had its moments)

I did. You're really good at making strawmen and bootlicking and the other guy's really good at dodging questions. The question of what to do to ensure safe communities without police has thousands of valid answers that countless academics and activists have tirelessly worked on for decades.

Some of my favorites are voluntary community defense that are composed of people that actually live in the neigborhoods they're protecting, held directly accountable by the community, with positions easily revoked by that same community. Unarmed mental health crisis response teams composed of social workers and community paramedicine practitioners.

And the elephant in the room: abolishing capitalism, patriarchy, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and all other hierarchical power structures that create the conditions for "crime" to exist in the first place. Your ideas around crime and police are undergirded by a tangled web of assumptions, cultural conditioning, biases, and unanalyzed prejudice. If you actually give a shit and aren't just arguing on the Internet for shits and giggles, you should do some reading on the matter. Here's a starting point specifically around police abolition.

This article directly addresses your strawman of "what about the rapists and murderers?" and it's one of my personal favorites on the topic

I yearn for a world where we may all be pigeons, and perpetuate no harm in the process

The text of the letter, for those interested:

Dear Mr. President,

I'm sorry. I thought I was the only one left behind last night, and had no idea Margo's car was also pulled over, and sent back to the Airport. Since I was alone in the van outside Customs without my passport, I panicked, and should have just called Secret Service instead of you. I also am sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland. The first day I was told there were no carts, and people walked, which is why I walked. The second day, I was specifically asked by, I forget who his name was, but one of the main people who worked there, if I could continue walking, and tell any other girls who would head out there to do the same to spare the Course any more Carts. If there is anything else I have done to cause you trouble, please forgive me. I know that some people have said I haven't been texting them back, and there have been some International cell issues (John was having technical issues on the Plane too, so asked me to help him out).

I want things to always be right between us. I also know I've been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time). I haven't been myself, dwelling on the Past, and the pain of losing my Dad, and I started letting the remarks of people who haven't bothered me before, get to me-not because I care what others think, but because I see myself being lowered in your eyes and good opinion. That is the fear you see, because I never want to bring you anything but joy. I'm sorry I lost my focus. You are all that matters to me. I don't want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life-That's what I wanted to use this card for, when you saw me at the Cash Register, and once again did what you didn't have to do, and gifted me with Mementos of this Trip of a Lifetime, a Coming of Age. I will return a better person. I have to sign off now, as the cars are leaving. See you soon.

With all my heart,

Natalie

I'm not super tech literate, is the VRAM section of this article referring to the VRAM patches valve was/is adding to steamOS to help optimize VRAM usage for lower end cards?

Pasted for convenience:

Mesa 26.2.1 & VRAM overcommit / cgroups

The kernel carries the full VRAM overcommit series along with the dmem cgroup work. The benefits of this include buffer eviction priorities, ordered bulk moves, VRAM claim throttling, protection limits, and a fast path so the compositor stops evicting your game’s textures.

Bazzite wires the userspace half up out of the box so there’s nothing you need to do as an end user to enjoy these features:

dmemcg-booster runs system-wide on every image

KDE images get plasma-foreground-booster-dmemcg

GNOME images swap uresourced for uresourced-dmemcg

Until they save $10,000*

I think she just told us what her thing is, "rape my little sister incest games"
