White noise laughter tracks wind me up no end. All the hype and screaming on comedy like it's an opera or Ellen show is also painful to experience.

I might just be turning into a grumpy old fart but I also refuse to accept that people want awful pop music plumbed into our supermarkets and dance music in restaurants - why does everything degenerate into a nightclub setting?

Way back when my dad was in his 20s he worked in a sawmill for a time. One of the dudes had no teeth, do everyone called him 'fang'

Yeah, these are great. Somehow I've not seen the first one before. Is this some sort of Beyonce parody?

I love it, this is really exciting research.

I guess on one hand no one really debates generational trauma or abuse being perpetuated so it makes sense the reverse is also true.

I still find it encouraging though

I guess one of the central arguments (that we don't actually need to prepare for the worst case scenario) isn't wrong but we really don't know what to expect when this all goes to shit. Are they really hoping they can put their head in the sand doing the bare minimum and then go to the courts when it wasn't enough?

Personally, I've no confidence that we've accurately mapped the worst case scenario at all - I fear it'll be much worse than we imagine (but I'm that far from starting a suicide cult, so don't take my advice! )

Reading this post and peoples comments got me thinking about neuroplasticity. There's lots in life that nudges us towards neurodivergence - I'm fairly confident I'm diagnosable just from working in IT for decades. Back when I started and was more customer-facing, I was far better with people and could easily break down what's happening for laypeople.

Now that I've zoomed out and gotten far deeper technologically, I feel like I've adapted into the ASD / ADHD realm
