I’m not really an expert on this, but a major piece is the idea that fears (and our thoughts about them) aren’t based in reality. Often times for ND people, they are indeed based in reality. Changing how we think about these things doesn’t help, and can often harm.
It’s obviously very personal, YMMV, but there are good alternatives in many cases.
I was referring to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the CBT that could be harmful to some neurodivergent people.
CBT can be harmful in many cases, including to many neurodivergent people. Just often worth being cautious and looking into alternatives.
This is a reason it’s important to get your name on petitions. Safety in numbers.
This is a fancy way of victim blaming. People don’t deserve to be bullied in any context.
I get that some people are willing to sacrifice others to achieve change. I’m not of that belief. If me personally sacrificing myself could lead to change it would be a much harder question to answer. But I’m definitely not willing to risk others on a protest vote.
I mean, backing their heyday, word processors were considered a pretty solid upgrade over an electronic typewriter, with a price tag to reflect that.
Not op but I suppose ‘us’ is people with less privilege than those who could reliably survive in a Trump dictatorship. People for whom a Trump presidency is an existential threat.
This seems more similar to word processors prior to PCs taking over that functionality.
This piece was written by a highly-regarded scifi author a year and a half ago. I say that not to complain about the age but rather to marvel at the authors ability to describe so well something that is only becoming clear to many a year and half later.
I’m so mixed on that book. Lot of great info in it, some good thoughts on child development. But soooo much moral panic under the guise of science. The data used is fundamentally unable to establish a causal link.
Yes putting real life focus on children and relationships is a great thing for child development. So I guess a book furthering a moral panic to do so, while purporting to be above moral panic isn’t fundamentally evil.
I’m worried it helps create a boogeyman, though, and the children it seeks to help are being harmed by the backdrop of the existential crises of our time like global warming, the authoritarian wave, etc, and social media / phones is just the most convenient vector through which this all flows.
Wait. Neoliberalism is literally a set of fiscal practices that that online folks refer to as late-stage capitalism. They’re practically identical in meaning. Without neoliberal policy, the phrase “late-stage capitalism” likely never gets coined.
BBQ sauce works with pineapple pizza.
Their news room has been this way for ages. They were the Bush administration’s biggest supporter in the lead up to the Iraq War. They’ve been anti trans for years, they were all in on opposition to Bernie.
I guess you just hire one Paul Krugman for some opinion pieces and people assume you’re not a right wing mouth piece
Activity Pub is much more flexible, the tradeoff being that it’s more complex. ActivityPub is basically a flexible CRUD API specifically designed for social networking, with support for federation.
You could fulfill the purpose of RSS with ActivityPub. But, it doesn’t supercede RSS/atom, because the simplicity is valuable for the cases those protocols handle.
Have you heard the good news about supply-side Jesus? Even though this exact rule explicitly benefitted massive companies in California for decades, the fact that it also benefits labor even a little means the capitalist class will react very badly.
This is another sign of what’s already going on. It’s getting into backlash territory.

I definitely get where you’re coming from. But this is a way forward when big changes are otherwise impossible. Civilian review boards are a concrete suggestion that can be modeled on similar programs elsewhere in law enforcement. They are a relatively minor change and require little infrastructure beyond a conference room, and can have an outsized impact.
