> I don't think the government applying such levers to change how the market allocates capital probably won't be a win for economic output or quality of life. Cuz letting it manage itself works so well

Agreed. I don't think the police response is inherently unwarranted (well except literally, ha ha) but the protocol surrounding how to handle the situations appears completely busted.

I mean, it's kind of both? It's inherently individual, but if loads of people are killing themselves it might be a symptom of societal dysfunction.

Sorry, I should have said "from my immediate perspective". Society certainly has a responsibility to autistic people that is mostly overlooked, although I am not complaining personally.

Curious! In what ways do you do you see swift as friendlier than Rust? I perceived it as functionally equivalent, although Swift had a lot more "magic" involved and it was less clear how things might work memory-wise.

??? We're discussing the assumption that people don't make false accusations? Nobody is making any moral claims about germany, it's just historically an equally terrible assumption as in this country. I do agree this is likel

I don't really think it much matters, tbh, as both factors are out of my control, but it can feel extremely isolating at times. Positive intentions can only overcome so many differences in conversation and social expectations.

I certainly wouldn't want to change myself, but autistic people kill themselves at rates many times that of the general population. It may not be a disorder but it's certainly capable of impacting peoples' lives negatively.

Yes, this is a large part of the concept of liberation. Why are you trying to sell people shit nobody asked for? We could be making technology that enables expression of the individual and of society rather than commodification of it.

Yea, you're right. I really hate this though.

Do you think false accusations are a uniquely american attribute? Have you never heard of Europe's (and very much Germany's) long history of lynching alleged witches?
