i was like, what's up with me still hearing game sounds after I switched away, is this some kinda tetris effect trying to parse it from the music??

i didn't close the game

>>>>> “If autism isn’t caused by environmental factors and is natural why didn’t we ever see it in the past?”

>>>>> We did, except it wasn’t called autism [ . . . ]

>>>> [ . . . ] “little Jonathan doesn’t talk but does a good job herding the sheep, contributes to the community in his own way, and is, all around, a decent guy.” [ . . . ]

>>> [ . . . ] The Myth of the Changeling child, a human baby apparently replaced at a young age by a toddler who “suddenly” acts “strange and fey” is an almost *textbook* depiction of autistic children. [ . . . ]

>> I think it’s worth noting that many like me, who are diagnosed with ASD now, would probably have been seen as just a bit odd in centuries past. [ . . . ]

>> [ . . . ] If I went back in time and lived on a farm somewhere, would anyone even notice there was anything odd about me? No police sirens, no crowded streets that go on for miles and miles, no flickery electric lights. Working on a farm has a clear routine. I’d be a badass at spinning cloth or churning butter because I find endless repetition soothing rather than boring.

>> [ . . . ] What I’m saying is that disability exists in the context of the environment. Our environment isn’t making people autistic in the sense of some chemical causing brain damage. But we have created a modern environment which is hostile to autistic people in many ways, which effectively makes us more disabled. [ . . . ]

@mousebot hmm that might currently be the case, but all that data is stored indefinitely, and that policy could definitely change in the future (again)

@mousebot it's a vc-backed corporation so will never have the user's best interest in mind, combined with full access to everything you do on their platform , and iirc a privacy policy that states they can use all that data for advertising and what not

It's not much different from slack/telegram/many others fwiw

WhatsApp / Signal are still centralized but have e2e encryption so they can only access (various levels) of metadata

Matrix (and XMPP) offer e2e, and a decentralized model similar to how Mastodon has many different instances, that still communicate with eachother

god i spent so long getting this project to work

@juliana@eldritch.cafe same with the sensory issues, doesn't seem the one I use is available internationally, but it's based on alum salts, which are basically odorless

had to add a new VPS to accomplish that though, so eventually it'd be nice to copy all this over to the old vps, since it's still on the old Hetzner billing plan and would save me 80 cents a month
