Anyone here complete any online program to help navigate the world as an autistic person? If so, what program, and what did you think about it?
  • I hope you find what you're looking for bud.

    The closest I've ever found to anything like that is just... hanging out in queer spaces. Online or in person. My experience is that they tend to be welcoming, and accepting of our difficulties and more willing to help explain things that don't make sense. I think there's also a reasonable amount of overlap between how to cope with being queer in generally bigoted areas and how to cope with being neurodivergent but surrounded by NT people who display varying levels of acceptance.

    I bring that up because like... a lot of what I used to think was difficulty understanding myself was mostly caused by internalized ideas that I was lazy or useless or w/e other nonsense I've been called by people with no understanding of or sympathy for situations I find abnormally difficult. I assumed the way I am was wrong and i couldnt understand why i was more comfortable being wrong. Material in queer spaces isn't coded exactly for the negative ideas that are usually associated with ASD people, but the self affirmation messages are there

  • Same cost, same loadout.
  • Bring back the sparkvark. Or like, when they finally retire the bone, hollow out the airframe, toss in a few hundred MW of generators and let it saturation jam the entire timezone

  • Every hotel bar ever
  • Your post looks like a reasonably good joke about acronyms with multiple meanings, but just in case you actually don't know, PDA is short for "public display of affection" in this context

  • Oh good Warthog support incoming!!
  • A spray of depleted uranium with 12m CEP guided by the mk1 eyeball is obviously a better CAS weapon than a SDB with 1m CEP guided by a sniper pod

    • a depressingly large amount of AF leadership for a depressingly long time
  • exercise for us?
  • I got really caught up in the "make number bigger" cycle of lifting, and each 5lbs I added to any lift was a huge dopamine spike. Obviously you can't keep increasing weight forever, but I found that the steady and easy dopamine hits from noob gains were enough to establish it as a habit in spite of my attention span

  • What's your hobby?
  • Warhammer 40k. I'm also a semi accomplished electrical engineer and currently working on a PhD in data science/machine learning, so at least I got the "good at math and science" variety to support my "expensive hobby" variety

  • Stop doing Computer Science
  • One of the slave node's child process failed, so the master node sent a signal to terminate the child and restart the slave

    There's pretty solid reason my research group is pushing to use "head node and executor nodes" nomenclature rather than the old-school "master node and slave nodes" nomenclature, haha
