my goals are just to look good and feel good, but I find that my soreness lasts much longer and can be worse if I don’t supplement protein. given, I don’t eat a pristine vegan diet, just vegetarian. I drink protein shakes when I can and its helped quite a bit

I think the idea of curing some sorts of mental disorders can get pretty ethically shaky. People with mental disorders can provide unique things to society. Imagine the world if autism never existed. I guarantee you it would not be some healthy socially adept society, it would be behind ours in a lot of ways, technologically, culturally, all sorts of shit.

There is a level of diversity of experience that is required to keep a society going IMO. If everyone was mostly homogenous, nothing would get done, no ideas would be had. I feel that my autism helps me “fill niches” that neurotypical people do not fulfill. How would society look if there were less people like me? I would think it would suck lol but thats just me.

The truth is that most struggles by us neurodivergent people are not actually rooted in our neurodivergence alone, but in our neurodivergence CLASHING WITH neurotypical society. We would fit in if only there was a world created with our differences in mind. We are not cursed to a universally dreadful existence, just cursed to be in a world designed for someone else. Luckily this is fixable through politics. School is possible for neurodivergent people, it just wasn’t designed for neurodivergent people, so we might have to bend ourselves a little for it. I don’t think your hate should lie in you having autism. Your hate should be reserved for the people and systems that prevented the creation of support systems for people like us.

yup, it for sure is, plus all of the articles on her website are just paid advertisements (some of which are for sketch companies like masterworks)

this is so ai-generated lol

this isnt Wikipedia and the site also whines about me using an ad blocker :(

Mine is imagining Mike Ehrmantraut quietly threatening me. It gets me out of bed.

I’d absolutely encourage you to continue reading the Bobiverse series. It’s when I first realized my love for sci-fi in book form. The next few books, IMO, REALLY improve upon the stories introduced in the first book and then add a whole bunch of new ones. No major spoilers, but it manages to interrogate some age-old SciFi tropes like the prime directive, agency for clones, governance in space, blah blah blah. It does all of this in an extraordinarily personal way where you see these problems get engineered around (like how Project Hail Mary by Weir is largely just a book about a dude solving problems) by a ton of really interesting computer dudes with endless time on their hands.

actually gorgeous

anyone else getting major ai-generated vibes from this article?

upon looking again, it does concern me that these people all stopped posting around similar times, which in my eyes seem to be between trump’s election results and him actually coming into power. could totally be paranoia though this is all just speculation

it will always amaze me how several users just have the time to post news articles CONSTANTLY. it’s to the point that ive started blocking users just because 5 different people will post the same articles about an event, all to their own selection of 5 communities (with some overlap) all of which get shown on the all feed. it also doesn’t help that I don’t generally come to Lemmy to get depressed from recent news when I already get plenty of that from coworkers and family.

this is not to say that I think its necessarily unhealthy to have such power users, its just very… very… very… not my cup of tea

dude… what is up with the same few AI “musicians” being posted all of the time

look closely at the details on the flowers, not to mention the overall style just being very clearly… plasticky

edit: damn it I wrote a whole drafted edit and then lost it, I’ll be brief about further details her left hand upon examination looks almost like its supposed to be the paper for the bouquet, but that’s not damning cause maybe its more like a wreath?? there’s also the single strand of hair that is wildly out of place, hanging down almost like its meant to be a necklace (ai probably “thought” that since there’s a pendant there must be a clear necklace holding it up, and it morphed to be part of the hair). also the flowers in her hair are just generally fucked up

ai images in my lemmy :(

dont associate autism with intellectual differences, actual 1980s age idea of autism

this is HILARIOUS I had no idea there would be people on lemmy just spamming ai-generated comments

please keep us updated on the conditions of this, its hilarious

HIIII!!!
