In a way, accommodations can erase disabilities.

Thank you. For once I don’t have to be that person.

Spicy, but I love that take

Yeah really. They should be more like campuses funding a hundred small teams each trying to make something they’re individually passionate about. Hell, even give them the IPs to play with and see what they come up with.

Fear of failure becomes self fulfilling, yeah. You get so worried about making the wrong move and losing money that you can have your spotlight stolen by a challenger doing it fresher for 1/10th the budget.

Read the article, you say? What a radical notion.

Me telling my boss about my weekend

This is a conversation between me and the gcc compiler (I suck at programming)

Because then you wakeup in your makeup.

Right? That level of control seems downright psychotic.

If you have more books than bookshelfspace, then than tells me we will be friends.

Wave of the future!

Wow that really is a fun fact!

That’s what I was trying to get at with my talk of incentives and external validation - Stop trying to “fix” them and accept that they lack the capacities that we take for granted.

I’m through with caring about what’s in someone’s heart of hearts. Can we get them to behave, even if it’s out of fear of being ostracised? Fine. Good enough.

Then work on the conditions that make people maladaptive (or really just adaptive to a mal world) separately.

First time I remember was a Nintendo forum, where someone accused me of masturbating in the shower and I had no comeback.

That’s why we love it. We get to gently lecture someone about our interests

You’ve got lots of stuff that would be hard to get at home like basketball, squash courts; swimming pools; saunas, cold plunge; lots of free classes (well, included in the cost). If you have a YMCA, they will even do a sliding scale based on your income.

It’s like going to the library. Yeah you could do much of that stuff at home, but it’s good to get out.

My brain is like a jujitsu master at avoiding work. I’ll be like OK we’ve got our green tea, no distractions, pomodoro is set, tasks clearly defined and workspace prepped for focus I am figuratively taking a running charge at my work annnnnd……wait why am I looking up how PS/2 ports work? Why are there 22 tabs on this open???

It’s like my brain takes all my productive energy and redirects it to fun trivia or solving the wrong problems.

Maybe we need to start treating lack of empathy like more of an intellectual / educational problem, rather than a moral failing in like your “soul”? If only just so we can forgive people enough to actually work with them.

I’m spitballin, but I can work with ignorance or even feeblemindedness - you just focus on education or harm reduction. Like maybe they’ll never never be able to see outgroups as fully human, but with the right kind of external validations and incentives, maybe they could simulate it.
