This is largely what therapy is about. Identifying rumination cycles, motivations that bring up references or memories that were less than pleasant, figuring out decent coping strategies. All better served with real help. Without this kind of review you end up seeing others talking about their experiences as a kind of inverse power scaling competition or purity game.

@DispairSoftware Treat this like an inkblot test. youtu.be/_1oO4wzPCmE?is… What visual comes to mind when you listen through the first hook into the chorus?

@DreamLeaf5 This is likely the concern. Themselves or a loved one. Anyone complaining about masking is seeking to form a narrative, so otherization turns into interactions and a payout.

@JordanUhl They've been playin' themselves alright 😭

Yea, I'm kinda still feeling it. Yes, breathing was harder than it should be. Ofc my heart was racing a bit. Still really glad I can experience something like this without falling apart these days. Kayaking sometime this week. Should be fun!

This feeling is quite liberating.

I think the only example I can think of were those in my life while I was young going on about posture, which caused a bit of an issue as I spent way more time focusing on how I walked or my shoulders "looked". Once I stopped most of the back and chest pain, lower neck issues, and a ton of the skipping/slipping stopped happening. I still remember the day I decided to stop. Same with forward tilt walking. It is easier, yet some would point it out. Stopping myself from doing it did make getting around on my two feet harder, which was far more noticeable in the hallways! I've had some time to think about approaches to stimming and tics. My situation was so wildly different that it isn't really fair or justifiable to call what I was doing for so long a masking response.

Matt rapidly realizing he's unable to develop generational wealth through streaming, as the weight of the reasonable right telling him to think about more than just his future starts to hold him down and strip him of viewership. A manbaby selling pieces of his soul for a political entity delivering a shocked pikachu face when said entity doesn't do his bidding. I just hope that once he enters the more traditional workfoce he has a plan for those meltdowns. Nobody is going to have the patience with his notariety.

I at least got to live for 40 years in a country that looks and functions something like America. The fact that my children are having that opportunity stolen from them fills me with rage so deep I can’t describe it. I truly hate the people who have done this to us.

@MattWalshBlog Having no discernable skills will have a man fearing for his future. We get it, Matt. Maybe speak with a therapist while you fill out your resume.

@cavesofsteel He has zero utility in one ear. None. Complete loss. You can't really broadcast that. He still deserves observation.

People are pretty nasty to a buddy of mine who has less than 20% in one ear, with a hearing aid. You cannot see it, and you can't really tell when he first talks to you unless you know what someone sounds like who has hearing loss. He uses emotes a lot, has really enjoyed interacting with me as I use my AAC tool. I'm kind of encouraging him to attempt other methods instead of endlessly allowing people to treat him differently than myself because I visually flag as having an issue.

I stick with 6 to 8 prompts if they fit within 100k of context combined. Once I hit this limit I just roll a new thread. This is a problem with one of my projects, ACK. It is big, consuming 1/5th of my available context window just from analysis. I tend to have to apply myself more while working on that one with a bot. Oh, and if I ask it in IDE? Requests always time out with that project. 😅

I asked the bot to follow a pretty standard process of adding in a feature. It has access to the entirety of the codebase with this being the second prompt issued in the thread. It truncated most of the result while asking me to manually insert like a caveman. I then just asked for the full output. This usually solves the problem. HOWEVER, my latest example proves your point. I had to ask it, again, to check its work to give me something I could use. Over 200loc difference between the bugged and working final output.

@BIMBOSATTVA_ It's doping the silicon to make the weights gay.

@Etanarachel Quoted feels like it was bred in a lab to spike your cortisol @Neurofucked_ 😭

Preach. Tinted lenses are amazing, clip on sunglasses are a power move, you have more control over the clothing you wear, auditory sensory management is levels above what it used to be even five years ago. Loop earplugs are *invisible* for those who can tolerate them. Gloves are dumb cheap, adding and removing layers for thermals is a learned skill. A lot of this is accepting you have more control over these things than in your youth, for whatever reason.

@ChristianityOn Hearing the sounds of a well fed V8 from the decompression room as the gymbro autist engages with the HR approved speedbag.

A really good example that I run into daily when working? I use an app to communicate, it displays prompts in english while offering audio playback. About +80% of my interactions are english as a first language, so things generally work without much friction. For those who do not speak english, or those who cannot read it well? I *need* to push through, offer movement of my lips and clear eye focus for the moment. It isn't usually for very long, most tend to be far, far more patient than english speakers so the pauses and such are not (to me at least) as damaging toward progress.

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news here or anything but the ability to learn domestic cues does have an impact on your ability to be receptive toward non-domestic ones. I do kind of understand you a bit when speaking about this specifically, though I again argue that has more to do with development and patience over any built-in autism related boost to communication with ESA folks. A learned awareness of nonverbal communication through intervention does kind of give us a boost here that others don't tend to experience.
