Thank you for sharing your experience. So, for you at least, there is/was a significant difference between "seeing things in your mind" and not being able to. Have you ever gone under any studies or tests to compare your brai

This is the fundamental question about experience. You may be "right". What you consider to be "seeing" things in one's head may be not what's happening in that person's mind. What they call "seeing

We have roughly 8 billion people on Earth. We have enough that we can probably do more than one thing at a time.

I don't know what to tell you. Every 6 months I go to the dentist. They do all those things. They bill my insurance. I pay whatever is left over.

Yeah, scrape away any built up plaque, polish, floss, check for cavities, x-rays every other visit (once a year).

When I get my teeth cleaned at the dentist, flossing is the last thing done. So I assume people internalize that

This is why it is pointless to reply to people like you. You badger and badger and badger. You want examples, you want evidence. You want, you want, and you want. Never do you provide evidence. Never do you provide examples. And if you do p

I don't say this lightly and I understand that it's neither a thorough nor an explicit question, however, I mean this in all seriousness: What the fuck?

Yes, he clearly said "most corrupt", not "first corrupt".

Yeah, because he was guarding them against the current administration abusing the Justice Department to go after them. Same reason he pardoned Fauci and others. And from what we've seen, he was right to do so. Although, they've be

Regardless of what the intention was , shareholder primacy has roots in that judgment.

A lot of this comes back to Dodge v Ford. The Dodge brothers sued the Ford Motor Company because Ford wanted to cut prices and invest in the company while removing dividends to shareholders. The Dodges disagreed with this and sued. The cour

Yeah, I knew “aria” was “accessibility stuff”, but I couldn’t tell you what it stood for.

As of 2022, that explains it. It’s been a bit since I’ve worked in the field. It’s good that it’s changed

It's truly fucked up. Most insurances won't publish their fee schedules. So doctors don't know what they will pay. So what they do is bill insanely high knowing the insurance will come back with "Nah, we only cover $X&qu

Well, you came here to defend another poster. Your initial address wasn't to the story itself, the poster in question, etc. And I even mentioned that even if he were autistic, it's never an excuse. A diagnosis is a tool for self-r
287.
by bena 1y ago
Saying “the guy isn’t autistic” isn’t a diagnosis. Mostly because he isn’t a doctor. So harping on people making diagnoses ignores the larger issue of the person using a self-diagnosis of autism to excuse his own shitty behavior.
288.
by bena 1y ago
First of all, I firmly believe you're a sock puppet. Where is the "good explanation"? The first thing he did was demand qualifications of the poster. Exclaiming he's diagnosing something. He started aggressive. I then po

Why are you being so aggressive?

Do you personally know the person who stole all of your items and accounts? I understand if you can't get or won't get in contact with them, but I'm curious as to whether this was a random or someone taking advantage of you.

by bena 1y ago
Sorry, I'm a little confused here. Are you saying you were misdiagnosed with ADHD/Autism? That you actually had a different condition that superficially presented as ADHD/Autism.
292.
by bena 1y ago
You only questioned the poster's qualifications, never the subject's. Only now are you even acknowledging that it could be in error as well. And without an actual medical diagnosis, we shouldn't treat him as autistic.
293.
by bena 1y ago
No, he pointed out how over-saturation of autism awareness has resulted in people self-diagnosing as a way to absolve themselves of shitty behavior. My step-son is diagnosed. He is on the spectrum. He was non-verbal for longer than most chi

That would be it. It's why I started with BitBucket. Because Github didn't allow for private repositories on the free tier at the time.

Kind of like how U-571 downplays the non-Americans involved in the Enigma.

The core idea is small enough. And the http protocol sits on top of the stack. Routing, dns, nat, etc all do not matter to http. HTTP is basically “this is how you send a document over the wire”.

I guess I motivate myself by realizing that taking care of the problem early will be easier than later. By knowing if I don’t get this thing done, it doesn’t get done. That for some tasks “want” doesn’t matter.

No, he was insinuating that mass gun violence is a problem mostly among the black community.

He was a religious fundamentalist. Pretty far from a "moderate". He did not deserve to die for his fundamentalism, but trying to paint him as a moderate who engaged with the process genuinely and in good faith is wildly mischaract
