The conspiracy bullshit from the 90s about vaccines that doesn’t deserve media coverage even to debunk it.

Deestan@lemmy.worldto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What tools or systems have actually been effective for you?English9·9 days agoGoing for many super short walks during the day. Office workers are supposed take a 5 minute stretch every hour to stretch, so use that. This helps me declutter the brain.
Starting a task is hard, but so is stopping! Attacking “hard” tasks with momentum instead of willpower: I don’t want to organize the freezer. I can tidy the floor in the storage room. Then empty the laundry basket. Now I have momentum and can attempt a breaching maneuver on the freezer: throw away some old food from the freezer. Usually this snowballs into sorting the freezer. If it doesn’t, then hey at least I threw out some old food.
Tbh the frequent pain from needing to read it again often happens because it was so hard to write correctly that it misbehaves on some data and you need to adjust it.
“Feel special” is such a posion thought. People who struggle try to get to know themselves and find words to describe it.
Deestan@lemmy.worldto Autism@lemmy.world•At school were you on the "gifted and pleasure to teach" end or "would do well if applied self and stopped getting distracted"?4·1 month agoBoth. You’d get different answers from different teachers.
Teachers who knew their shit and were flexible, would say the former.
Teachers who were authoritatian and barely knew enough of their field to pass minimum standards for teaching would claim I was “lazy” or “obstinate”.
Deestan@lemmy.worldto Autism@lemmy.world•It's Wednesday 04/02/2025. Hey, What's Going On!6·3 months agoI’ve only heard it phrased as “person” or “human”, so I guess that’s a good sign :)
Not understanding the questions is very much an indicator.
If it is an option, ask to take these tests together with a professional during assessment. They can both clarify the questions and will also make note of your approach to the test which is strong data.
Where can one find more context? Just looking at this tweet, it looks like she is straight up calling Elon a literal nazi.
I am not going to argue a distinction between Factorio and Autism communities :D
I do love the hateful trees mod.
Stop every now and then to close your eyes and breathe for a few seconds. This helps compensate for low interoception (catching body cues like pain, hunger, exhaustion, stress, etc).
The “Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller”, known as PID controller, is used to balance a million things like drone motors, air contitioners, assembly line robotic arms, and chainsaws.
It can be made to work electronically, pneumatically, or mechanically.
It - and partial versions of it (like a PD Controller) - was independently invented multiple times throughout history:
- windmills in 17th century france to regulate pressure based on wind speed
- factory steam engines to regulate fuel consumption based on load (Centrifugal Governor - invented twice)
- the 19th century Whitehead Torpedo to reach and maintain depth
- tons more, I forget
While strictly true (calories being a measure of energy and valid for both heat and fuel potential), the difference is - unsurprisingly - small :)
Eating a large pizza (1200 kcal) straight from the freezer instead of heating it, gives you roughly 25 less kcal.

Deestan@lemmy.worldto Memes@lemmy.ml•So, it turns out everyone could just talk with Chinese citizens this whole time134·5 months agoI always imagined travelling back in time 100 years and trying to explain our tech.
-“We have personal communicators available at all times, that we can use to instantly communicate with anyone on Earth.”
-“Wow! But I guess language barriers make it impossible?”
-'No, actually. A surprising amount of people in the world understand English. Also, we have instant translators in our communicators. I could contact someone in China right now and have a conversation about anything."
-“Incredible!! What sort of topics do you talk to them about?”
-“…I don’t. It’s kinda impolite to just start talking to strangers. I mostly talk to old friends from school. And my family.”
Which country allows their citizens to openly speak about and protest said war crimes?

I guess one part of it is how “big and important” it feels, so don’t let that accidentally dominate or overextend the venture.
For example, ask to have a chance to talk things out without anything more planned or expected. Making things right can be optional past that. Making things work optional past that again.
