Hey, welcome back! I have been missing your posts.

It’s refreshing to see an accurately worded headline in a case like this. Usually they go with “sex with a minor” instead of “rape”, when the perpetrator is a woman.

Having said that, the sentence is way too damn lenient. She preyed on a minor. She should be punished way more than that.

I think I’ve figured out what I dislike about your posts. You compare yourself directly with Jesus and the Buddha in this post. You say you are at the forefront of knowledge. You imply that you are somehow above getting a job and slaving for someone else. Which is putting “self” above “whole”. So you’ve realized the subjective nature of perception. Big whoop. You’re still expressing yourself like an ass.

I’m on Mango, and it’s amazing for me. It’s well documented, as well as extremely flexible. I love it.

Oh, awesome. They weren’t even on my radar. I’ll look into it. Thanks.

I like it. The lyrics are exactly my style. And the composition and recording are both really good, too. Well done. You should be proud.

Okay, thank you. I will definitely look into OpenCentauri to see if that’s a viable option for me. As I said, it will be a month or two before I am able to afford that, so I have time to research it all. And hey, thank you for being so helpful and responsive in this thread. You have been a great help.

I have seen some Elegoo models available here, yes. I have just heard that they aren’t very consumer friendly. Edging towards vendor lock-in, and so on.

Sure. If needs must, I can probably spend up to $350 if I wait a month or two. The other issue is that I live in South Korea, and I really don’t want to import. So you can make a suggestion for sure, and I’ll check if it’s available locally.

Thank you. I’ll definitely look at the space it offers. Although I’ll probably bite the bullet and spend a little extra on a Creality machine.

Thank you for the feedback. I don’t mind spending a few extra dollars, so I’ll definitely consider the Creality models. You’re completely right; vendor lock-in should be avoided.

Thank you. That is definitely a valuable data point. If it wasn’t an absolute nightmare experience, I’ll chalk it up in the plus column.

Vibe coded. Pass.

And tonight, when I dream it will be

That the junkies spent all the drug money on

Community gardens and collective housing

And the punk kids who moved in the ghetto

Have started meeting their neighbors besides the angry ones

With the yards

That their friends and their dogs have been puking and shitting on

And the anarchists have started

Filling potholes, collecting garbage

To prove we don’t need governments to do these things

And I’ll wake up, burning Time’s Square as we sing

“Throw your hands in the air 'cause property is robbery!”

As the Discordians say, “In five years, a complete stranger with your memories will inhabit your body. But don’t fret; another five years and they’ll be gone as well.”

Good question. He was mostly lucid and coherent on our last phone call, but that was a few months ago. I never knew him that well, so it’s difficult for me to gauge. I’ll have to check in again.

So fun story. I knew a guy who was a teetotaler in high school. Dude didn’t even drink coffee. We drifted apart for a few years and got back in touch. He decided to come and visit me. The night he shows up, he drinks 6 500ml beers in an hour and a half, gets weepy, and talks about wanting to strangle his sister. He was with me for almost two weeks.

Yeah, I tried to emphasize that it’s not a super common thing. But it does bug me when it happens, and I was thinking about it today. I’m happy to hear you have figured out a way to be more comfortable in the world.

First off, I love your username. Secondly, you’re right. It’s a generalization. For the sake of clarity, I could have written it as, “Most neurotypical people don’t learn masking to the extent that neurodiverse people generally need to, because the natural behaviour of neurotypical people is more readily accepted by their peers and society at large. Hence the moniker neurotypical.”

The thing is, I don’t really edit my blog posts. I just write a thing and hit publish. I thought the subject matter might interest some people in this community, so I shared the link. I didn’t think about it very long. It is absolutely appropriate to call me out for a poorly-worded assertion, and I thank you for the feedback. I will keep it in mind going forward.
