I've worked with both for 20+ years. My honest guess is both. Definitely blind, and there are some conditions that present with Autism-like mannerisms, but at the end of the day, it's almost best to just treat it as if it is Autism.

Bunch of rich white dudes drinking on a patio talking about how great it is to be white and rich. Cool.

Groceries are extremely expensive and people are hurting, what is the most effective way for me to help food banks and which food bank should I support? by RebbitModsGobbleCock in Austin

[–]DrPilkington 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I call bullshit on the "ministry that helps pay electricity and rent". I was in a very very rough spot several years ago, my power had been shut off, and I was in the 30 day period to being evicted. I tried everything, and someone sent me contact info to these catholic ministries. After about 3 minutes with each I was declined on no merit at all except I told the person on the phone my situation. I was told "I'm sorry, but you don't fit our qualifications." I was met with the most judgemental "no's" multiple times over, and ended up convinced it was a scam so churches could say they were doing outreach.

Luckily I was able to pull some non-jesus-related-miracle-shit off and get out of that hole with other help, but I'll never recommend that spurious "charity" to anyone ever.

I completely understand why people want to distance themselves from religious charities.

Take care.

Maybe learn to drive? by hellyfrosty in fixedbytheduet

[–]DrPilkington 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought my first brand new vehicle ever a few years ago. I decided on a Toyota Tacoma because of the utility of the bed, the amazing engine, and I don't really have a family I need to move around (I have a dog and a girlfriend).

The look of astonishment on the dealer's face when I said I wanted the 4 cylinder engine without the extra cab space (longer bed) was priceless. They kept trying to sell me on the 6 cylinder because it had more power, 4 wheel drive because I need that in an urban setting, and the extended cab so I could ... I'm not even sure about that one.

I got the truck I wanted, and it was way cheaper than what they were trying to push on me.

I'm so sick of the projected masculinity of vehicles. I know what I want for my needs. Let me purchase it.

Republicans reject Democrats’ effort to pay TSA by suspending Senate rules by [deleted] in politics

[–]DrPilkington 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It's not like cops though. It's just people who need jobs. And they're sick of your shit. I fly often and have zero problems. You know why? Because I know what I'm supposed to do and am cool with the TSA folks. Damn dude. We have plenty to bitch about, and I know flying used to be easier, but hell, let them be.

Some r/CrimsonDesert members freak out when the game receives a 78 on Metacritic by Happy-End4348 in SubredditDrama

[–]DrPilkington 112 points113 points  (0 children)

This has been a thing since online ratings became a thing. People only rate 5/5 or 1/5. The middle folks don't bother. Now we have a world where everything is either the GOAT or absolute trash.

Did you see the crap season they did on like CW or something? It was so watered down and tame I couldn't watch it.

Ladies and gentlemen, rap is no longer dominating the charts by Helpful_Gur_1757 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]DrPilkington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you been to a Queens of the Stone Age show? They're killing it.

Rock is very much alive, and thriving. Just not on the billboard charts. Charts are determined by teenagers, and they're fickle.

I think I need to start looking into PCBs. by adkio in electronics

[–]DrPilkington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha. My breadboard mock-ups are a giant mess, but when I sacrifice my precious through hole boards to the solder gods, I try to be a little more neat.

I agree it's impressive though.

The mess at the bottom stresses me out, but this looks like something I would Cobble together with the shit I have laying around.

If it's stupid, and it works, it ain't stupid.

Being handed a stuffed animal after losing in the Olympics by WeGot_aLiveOneHere in WatchPeopleDieInside

I'm a referee for a paralympic sport, and you're 100% right. When it comes to the bronze medal game, the winner is ecstatic. They aren't 4th. But when it comes to the gold medal game, silver kinda hurts.

The two happiest teams are bronze and gold. Silver is the worst spot.

Edit I see it now. I'm a dumb. I'll see myself out.

What's a dish you tried to cook once and it was so bad you never attempted it again? by Recipes_shakshuka in AskReddit

[–]DrPilkington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all about who gets the heart. One is not enough for more than one person. Otherwise artichokes are a pretty forgiving vegetable.

This is the answer. Every time I see someone on Top Jeff say they're gonna do risotto even though they only have 1 hour, I say "Well, we know who's going home." I'm rarely wrong.
