@KimSJ @karmaburrito @pluralistic Isn't age verification being pushed because of the large number of bots online, and advertisers were wasting a lot of money on them, so by verifying your age you are also verifying you are human?

@LoganFive Glasgow, Scotland. Breakfast of square sausage and tattie scone roll. Good old days as I currently live in England.

@Sheril I looked from a neurodivergent perspective on it, and in a weird way related to the hive minders. If the world was run by neurodivergents it would be run like this, based on doing what is best without reference to ego or status or history. Obviously without the linked minds stuff, just the practical hands on everyone helps make it better thing.

@npspock For me the biggest impact is exactly what you described, the exhaustion at the end of the day is staggering. I literally have to just sit for about an hour to decompress. Hoping it will get better with time though. I yearn for a world full of neurodivergent people where I can just be myself.

@npspock Best of luck 🤞, my own diagnosis was 2 years ago and I'm still adjusting to it all. Doing a thing for 50 years, it can't be undone very quickly. My masking strategy has kind of helped, because I have forced myself to not do autistic things for so long that they have become entrenched habits for me. Caused me so many other problems though...

@Annacats My cat just pissed on my couch, which weirdly proves your point, because if I'd spent the time being there with her she wouldn't have done it!

@csilverman well if it ever happens I'll be there ready to buy!

@csilverman I really love your work, have you ever made a video game, feels like it would match your aesthetic well if the story were right? Just curious, I'd certainly buy it!

@Jade_NL awesome, and the music playing Nowhere to run, by Martha Reeves!

@Jade_NL I might just be old, but I can hear someone saying "Warriors, come out to play" while chinking three bottles together. Movie the Warriors from the 70's if this reference was lost.
