But... you can get PTSD from lots of non war scenarios. Rape, abuse, injury and accidents, loss of loved ones, etc.

I mean, ageism is absolutely real. As is cognitive decline (which is a legitimate disability). But also, there's a difference between "I'm trying and failing" and "I'm not trying". I give the former camp w

They are considered BIPOC. It stands for Black, Indigenous, or Person Of Color. The term is intended to be inclusive of all groups who are not white while recognizing that, in the states where the term originated, Black and Indigenous commu

Not every attempt is a good attempt. I'm disabled, not differently abled. But I'm also not crippled nor retarded. If, a decade from now, someone comes up with a better term I might be whatever that is. But I still am glad we'

How do you handle being corrected? It's ok to not keep up, if someone is like, "heads up, that term is more considered offensive. You might not have known, but here's the updated one" If you are like, "oh, shoot, di

The author here uses "differently abled". As a member of the disabled community, I've never met a disabled person who uses "differently abled". But also, don't call us crippled. (Some people with disabilities d

He wasn't. If he lost only his own money, he'd be a victim. He stole tens of millions of dollars from other people, ruining them, and sent it to scammers. (Because he thought he could keep the profits from the scammers.)

Yes, I understood that. My point is that they specifically don't have implicit authority.

Inventing a thing and understanding a thing aren't necessarily the same. We adopt technologies and make them our own, sometimes away from the inventor's initial vision. I think if people, by and large, enjoy markdown one way (for

I've seen this, fwiw, in that there's less of a disability community around adhd than say autism or deafness. That said, there are probably thousands of adhd communities, some which fall into self pity and some that are very &quot

Your identity is anything you define yourself with. You just identified yourself as a picky eater -- that's part of your identity. However, you choose not to make it a celebrated, core, or significant part of your identity. That's

I'm sorry you haven't found a community to share in your disability. Communities are incredibly useful for some disabled folks to share strategies, check experiences ("does anyone else experience... how do you deal with...&qu

They are saying police should be held to the highest standards, as enforcers of the law. The punishment for an enforcer should be higher than a punishment for a lay person.

Communities are going to make language. It's what communities do. Gamers used to say Shazbot. Did we need another exclamation? No, did we adopt a new one and use it for awhile? You bet we did. AuDHD is a neologism that some communities

If I haven't paid for a license or even if I have, I don't have permissions to reproduce or use the code. So let's say I'm making a game like Mario paint, and in my game I'm doing some image manipulation. If I'

Couple of thoughts, as an indie dev: 1) Aseprite is already king in this space, yes, this may be more automatable but asesprite already wires into my engine. In my engine, I can write code to preview behaviors in more or less realtime on fi

Is the article worth finishing? It opens with a CIA agent complaining it's harder to be an authority when people self organize into communities and don't just listen to newspapers and political figures. Which, yeah. Of course it i

Why? If a person has done measurable harm to you, and your community, why is it not acceptable to say, "this person's legacy was one of harm. They chose to hurt vulnerable people"?

I think you should read that again. It's clear that different age groups fall for different scams and have different impacts from them. Grandparents absolutely fall for some scams at disproportionate rates. And are less likely to be ab

That seems... poor? A one in twenty trains late stat will basically mean every person will have to deal with a late train roughly every week? I bet, however, it's not uniformly distributed and some lines are late more than others. Hope

There's a huge gap between someone being an odious asshole whom everyone just accepts, and, "this is how I'd prefer to be addressed". Like, if a "Robert" says "I prefer Bob" and you still call them Ro

Seems like it was many many threads, and the mods looked at them in aggregate. Though they did call out one thread in particular, it doesn't seem like that one thread was the primary motivator here. This reads like mods, doing modding,

This isn't what that says. This is saying that when a neurodiverse person breaks decorum (read: is a giant asshole), the correct behavior is to let that person know they are having an impact and give them grace to grow their skills. Sa

Given the long list of things, as an outsider, it seems like this person was quite disruptive to the community. It doesn't seem like there's a "this one post was sus", but rather, "we've exhausted other options
