Personally, I’d much rather have never been born than be as neurodivergent as I am. We all exist without our consent, and I think preventing disabilities and neurodivergence in our children is no more unethical than having children in the first place. I’d never make the decision for people who already exist, I know some people consider it a part of who they are and I wouldn’t want to change that. However, with hypothetical offspring, they aren’t anybody yet. You can’t take away part of a identity that doesn’t exist.

What scares me is the idea that having neurodivergent children could be outlawed. I think neurodivergence does bring a lot of value to humanity as a whole, and while I don’t think there’s anything egreiously unethical about an individual preventing it in their child, the idea that a government could have that much power over how we have children is absolutely fucking terrifying.

This is something I’ve thought a lot about. I hope you appreciate my rambling or at least don’t find me inconvenient to ignore

Eepy winter <3

Lmao I respect him tbh

Lol tbh with cats walking on our carpets and washing themselves (tongue bath but still) I’d wager their paws are cleaner than the average persons hands

“The SUV was driven…”

I hate that passive voice bullshit

I apologize, the half formal half whimsical writing style and the unasked for (I don’t mean that in a rude “who asked” way, it just doesn’t flow like human conversation) listicle formatted advice replicates LLM tone very well

I’ve been playing the early access for it a fair bit and I think it’s gonna polish up really nicely

I plan on escaping the cycle by ceasing existence tbh

I have had a very similar experience. I still avoid driving whwnever I can. A different take on what your father said, I think a car accident is just another, fairly common, lesson in how to drive. It can be true both that almost everyone has had an accident AND that being in an accident can be traumatic and very off-putting. Your feelings are absolutely valid. Sadly, in the U.S., being able to drive is more or less required to be able to participate in pretty much anything.

Ultimately, my crash drove me to be a much more careful and aware driver, and while I still hate to drive, looking back I think being in an accident was probably inevitable for me. I don’t know where I’m going with this, I can’t give advice or anything, just wanted to share.

No, it’s the difference between software engineering and software development. If your project manager is handling that, your org is wack

If you’re not understanding why the spec is the way it is, you’re just creating job security for your replacement lol

Lmfao the hardest part of building a product is understanding customer wants and needs. LLMs are incapable of understanding

The two things are related

Idgaf what it is just hand me that fluffy friendly happy animal to hug

When did his stupid submarine thing happen? I think that was the start of the public meltdown

How bout not calling gay people child predators

I think it’s likely a printer calibration issue but I have a workaround idea–on the first layer, can you leave space between the characters and the surface?

Ever torn between wanting to stand and stretch and not wanting to be standing hunched over cause I’m a tall bitch

Remind me to send you a picture of my 3ish feet diameter hard drive platter
