Ok this is fucked. Is there even any data to suggest this might work? Have other countries tried this?

Are they? I haven’t encountered any super preachy carnivores, just idiots that seem to thing it gives them +1 man points and a few true believers who literally only eat meat but my only exposure to that group is weird YouTubers. I have definitely met the preachy vegan archetype many times though and while I can’t take judgment from a dude eating a baconator seriously. The vegans definitely like to claim the high road and wield shame like a knife.

Trans frogs is hilarious first of all. Secondly I thing even the most unhinged nutjobs only ever used trans frogs as a symptom not a cause. Trans frogs causing autism is the equivalent of such a deranged reversal of cause and effect as to be comparable to Covid causing 5G.

Anyways, I agree. I think parents want a scapegoat for why they find their kid to be “cringey” when speaking to their peers and Autism (effect) and vaccine (cause) provide pseudo medical rationales.

I disagree, I think the anecdote of an adult over 30 years of age being diagnosed is a fair example of under-diagnosis. And since your comment was more on the over-diagnosis side, I think it’s fair to point out. That the visibility and lowered stigma contribute to the over-diagnosing. It can’t be helped. Medical professionals are subject to the same biases of visibility that the rest of us are, even if they should know better.

Also some patients are certainly self-diagnosing based on freely available information, be it valid or not, and sharing their diagnosis as if it was a real one. When others encounter these claims, their instinct typically isn’t to argue or accuse someone of being a fake autist so they update their own mental models with a “this is what autism looks like” and the trend continues.

My boi Sameer got the ‘tism. Can’t process humor.

Is the main use case here to stream from your own library like a plex for music? Or something else?

I’m not sure what you mean by connect different sources, I generally just use Spotify so maybe I’m not the ideal user here. I’d definitely see value in transitioning off of Spotify but that would require me to keep my own library of music and while I’m sure a sonar/radar pipeline exists for this I’d find it limiting for finding new music. Spotify’s discover weekly and playlists of stuff I’ve never heard before keep me hooked.

Being gay must be nice

We didn’t have money, just one of those antennas and if you move it just right you could get YTV in somewhat decent quality.

Did you watch Recess? Nobody else mentioned it so I’m starting to think it might be Canadian. Uh oh! and Reboot too.

Idk what that address is but he’s on Lombard street in SF. His address has been highly publicized this last week.

Surely this is the behavior we want to encourage not punish? You falling asleep at the wheel? Pull over asap.
