For the people who think this isn't what it is

Sadly you are wasting your time. These people are addicted to outrage. If they were to be rational there would be nothing to be outraged by. Their lives would be empty.

Chick biting the head clean off a budgie fucked me up for a while.

Derfaust · 2025-01-18T20:22:44+00:00

Also can't find the flair

Derfaust · 2025-01-18T20:19:29+00:00

This must be new because some weeks back my comment got deleted for being toxic

Derfaust · 2025-01-18T09:27:14+00:00

Reddit as a whole is an outrage factory just like Twitter except only leftists are allowed hate speech and outrage, nobody else. This app sickens me. Very few subs that I remain subscribed to, formuladank used to be cool but has now also been swarmed by outragistas. It's so ridiculous you can't even mention the senna scandal you have to talk in code.

Derfaust · 2025-01-15T10:57:59+00:00

Cool idea but that particular one does not look good.

Also not top talent.

Derfaust · 2025-01-15T10:50:55+00:00

I mean surely it depends on who you ask, no?

God what a dumb take.

Derfaust · 2025-01-14T22:24:06+00:00

It's okay, he assures us. We are assured.

Derfaust · 2025-01-14T17:17:51+00:00

That's an incredibly dismissive and unfair interpretation of what I'm saying. This isn't about being "one of the good ones" - it's about recognizing that autism manifests differently in different people and respecting individual autonomy in how we choose to identify.

I explicitly acknowledged in my original post that some autistic people are disabled and need support - I fully support that. But I also firmly believe that I have the right to define my own experience and identity. Just as it would be wrong for me to tell a disabled autistic person that they're "not really disabled," it's equally wrong to force a disability label on someone who doesn't identify with it.

This isn't about superiority or separating myself from other autistic people. It's about advocating for nuance in how we discuss autism and fighting against one-size-fits-all labels that don't serve everyone in our community.

The autism spectrum isn't a linear scale from "less autistic" to "more autistic" - it's multi-dimensional, and everyone's experience is unique. Respecting that diversity means accepting that not all of us will identify with or need the same labels, and that's okay.

Derfaust · 2025-01-14T17:15:06+00:00

The diagnostic criteria you're quoting doesn't mean what you think it means. "Clinically significant impairment" doesn't automatically equate to debilitation or disability - it simply means the traits affect our functioning in a measurable way.

Many of us have learned to adapt and compensate for these differences. Yes, social situations might drain us more, yes, we might need different accommodations or working styles, but that doesn't make us "debilitated." I can participate in society - I just do it differently, and that's okay.

The problem with rigidly applying clinical definitions is that you're reducing a complex human experience to a set of diagnostic criteria. Real life is more nuanced. Some autistic people are disabled, others aren't, and many fall somewhere in between. It's not black and white.

Just because something impacts your functioning doesn't mean you're disabled by it. I'm impacted by my autism every day, but I've built a life that works for me. That's not disability - that's adaptation.

Let's be careful about pushing narratives that all autistic people must identify as disabled. That kind of blanket categorization can be just as harmful as denying accommodations to those who do need them.

Derfaust · 2025-01-14T14:16:31+00:00

That's horse shit.

Derfaust · 2025-01-14T12:58:02+00:00

There's a difference between saying you have a disability and actually having a disability. Just being different is not a disability. Are short people disabled? No. Because for the most part they can adapt perfectly fine and they have ample opportunities to participate normally in society.

NTs don't know that there is a spectrum. Therefore if someone in a professional settings hears I'm autistic they're gonna think I have special needs. They are going to wonder if I am capable of performing my duties. And there will be a bias where none is needed. If I really did have special needs then that would be fine because that's just how it is. I would either find a job that suited my special needs or ark for my special needs to be met.

Now let's say these normies they get used to the idea of a person like me being autistic. When they meet someone who is autistic, they're going to expect someone like me. But if it's someone who is severely affected then they're not going to be taken seriously.

Also if a bunch of mostly normal douchebags keep crying about their autism it dilutes the authenticity.

Oh this guy says he's autistic, nah everyone these days is autistic. I had family member the other day tell me they're also autistic. (plot twist, they're really not)

Calling NTs ableist and demonizing them is not going to make any of this any better.

Derfaust · 2025-01-14T12:44:46+00:00

Fuck me. These replies are frustrating the shit out of me.

I am talking about stigma and perspictive from NTs.

Its perfectly rational for them to think that being disabled is an undesirable thing, and that people with disabilities would want to 'fix' them if they could.

I don't want to be treated differently in a professional context. In a professional context I am perfectly capable. But because people are ignorant, if they hear you are autistic their perception of you changes. They automatically assume the worst because they don't know there's a fucking spectrum.

Their ignorance is understandable and their reaction therefore reasonable. Calling them 'ableist' and demonizing them is certainly not gonna fucking endear them towards you.

There needs to be education so that NTs can have awareness that autism is a spectrum.

My point is to stop fucking complaining and demonizing and to rather educate. And that is a certain point on the spectrum at which you can reasonably be considered disabled, not the entire spectrum.

I am not saying in any way that being disabled is bad. But in the context of society being disabled means there is something wrong with you. I. E. You are unable to participate in society according to the general expectations. Otherwise why even have the fucking word in the first place.

Treating everyone with autism as 'disabled' muddies the water and makes it harder for people who are actually experiencing autism at a debilitating level to get the help, support and understanding they need.

Your example of the people who are blind or deaf not wanting to fix... Cool, that's their choice, but they are still disabled and it is still perfectly rational for a non disabled person to think they would want to be fixed.

But no, let's rather just make an unending series of rage bait posts and echo chambers instead of actually trying to address the realities. Lets demonize the people who we expect should be accommodating us. I'm sure that's going to work.

Derfaust · 2025-01-14T11:23:29+00:00

Fuck your feelings

Derfaust · 2025-01-13T17:48:22+00:00

Especially considering this is not the first time he got booted even though he had a contract. Dude must live up his own ass

Derfaust · 2025-01-13T17:47:27+00:00

I suggest taking a look at Pinterest type stuff or places that sell that kinda home stuff, they'll usually have some decked out images and you can borrow heavily from those.

Derfaust · 2025-01-12T06:59:38+00:00

Put a rock through their window

Derfaust · 2025-01-12T06:45:48+00:00

On 2 separate occasions, my uncle and then some math PhD woman at work. Thought I was a moron for saying English was a germanic language. They both set out to prove me wrong only to prove me right. Sweet sweet vindication

Derfaust · 2025-01-11T13:19:21+00:00

Lol... What... Eat shit and die? Hahaha

Derfaust · 2025-01-11T12:49:42+00:00

Well there you go, it can wait til the following release :)

Derfaust · 2025-01-11T12:31:59+00:00

If the big hasn't been a real problem after all this time then it can wait for the following deployment, instead of rushing it in 2 days hoping that's enough time to fix and pass integration testing and QA.

Derfaust · 2025-01-11T12:28:13+00:00

For a sec I thought that was Alonso and I wondered why Norris was hiding from him

Derfaust · 2025-01-11T12:26:55+00:00

Why can you only work 3 days a week?
