Yeah it’s not easy to get people to care, and even harder to get them to move from something they’re familiar with.

The main motivation for me was getting off WhatsApp, so anyone who refused to get Signal just has to deal with SMS now.

I ripped the bandaid off when Facebook bought WhatsApp. I told all my contacts and the ones I actually talked to were willing to install Signal, even my grandparents.

You can make an account without using your real details. Just stick to the browser and don’t use their app.

I’m being pedantic, but the analogy would be more like what you initially said if no attempt to actually flush the toilet was made.

Holding people accountable works if they are actually held accountable.

They all live in the US though. Not much any other country can do about them.

I appreciate you being honest in your response here.

I’d recommend adding this disclaimer to the post text and repo readme for complete transparency, and so anyone who doesn’t want to use AI-generated projects can move on without creating arguments in the comments.

There are many genuine reasons to not trust code generated by LLMs, especially with anything network-connected or handling important data, so it’s important to be upfront about it.

How is that your understanding? What information or sources did you base that on?

Rima Hassan, a French far-left member of the European ​Parliament, was arrested on Thursday over a ‌comment she posted on X last month about an attack on an Israeli airport in the 1970s, her ​fellow party member Jean-Luc Melenchon said.

The message was related to the 1972 attack by ​the Japanese Red ​Army far-left ⁠militant group at Lod airport in Tel Aviv, which resulted in ​26 deaths.

It seems the media may not know what her exact comment was yet.

Tony Schwartz, Drumpf’s ghostwriter for The Art of the Deal, told The New Yorker “More than anyone else I have ever met, Trump has the ability to convince himself that whatever he is saying at any given moment is true, or sort of true, or at least ought to be true.”

The numbers don’t matter. What matters is not being seen as a loser

I had no idea Hamas had tunnelled all the way to Lebanese hospitals

If Carlin had to be as specific as you’d like that quote to be then it wouldn’t be much of a joke.

It’s not hard to understand what he was saying.

• Do autistic people, as individuals, not have rules in their own head about how people should interact with them?

I’m sure most do, but it’s far more likely for their rules to be ignored/overridden if they don’t fit in with society’s idea of normal.

For example, an autistic person who does not like being touched is more likely to be seen as the “problem” than someone who tries to shake their hand or give them a hug. People who are close to them will probably learn to respect to that individual’s personal rules, but NTs seem to less adaptable to social change, particularly if it’s inconvenient to them.

Are there not rules that both autistic peeps and NTs have in common?

Definitely, but a lot of them exist for good reasons. I suppose I’m talking more about the seemingly arbitrary rules here.

In social groups composed entirely of autistic people, would another set of norms emerge that could get someone in the group scolded if they broke them, just like in the rest of society?

In my experience there just generally seem to be fewer “global” rules, but when rules are broken people get over it more quickly.

When a NT person upsets an autistic person because they broke a norm they weren’t familiar with, wouldn’t they also feel bad and try to remember not to do that in the future?

I guess this depends on the person, but that applies to everyone, not just NTs.

I don’t see how it can’t be a NT vs autism thing.

They’re only taboo subjects because society (primarily NTs) decided they were taboo.

Autistic people have to follow the rules set by NTs, not the other way around.

I’ve also read stories from people who have negotiated how much of their bill they paid. Fucked up indeed.

I know it’s not what you meant when you made the comparison, but the US-Vietnam war was also devastating for millions of Vietnamese civilians. Unfortunately, that is also likely going to be the case in Iran.

I specifically did not say all NDs can do this, simply that it is not unique to NTs
