  Ah, thanks. I can confirm I can recall facts as well as also replaying stuff in my head from any perspective I choose and modify whatever too.

  The first sentence is also very interesting. It’s what autists and adhs people oft say, that our brain is experienced as own entity with things that are not to our liking but we have to obey its rules.

  Fascinating!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨culture⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is very interesting and fascinating to read. But I have to admit it’s not easy for me to follow.

  Bluntly (which is a quirk of mine so please don’t be offended) I’d think all of what you mentioned are levels of imagination and mental state I use at will. But I am also very much aware of the possibility of me not being able to fully understand the implications hence throwing more things together than I should.

  Haha, touche I think. I’m confused as always (and my lemmy client even added to this now since the comment was too deep… Lol).

  Yeah, same boat here with the difference is the last attempt burned me further and meatspace… Well, you know how it goes when leaving the house alone is too much of a strain nevermind meeting and interacting with people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not unlikable, that’s important. You be yourself. Masking will put a heavy strain on you, find your people.

  We don’t get much external positive reinforcement so the negative tends to stick and impact our self esteem, it’s a negative loop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For me and some others it’s obvious, for you it’s not. I got that and apologized to op.

  Yeah OK we’re all autists. We’ll done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨culture⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice, thanks!

  When I imagine things it ranges from being more or less able to see what I am imagining and up to being so deep in thought that I lose connection to my external senses, seeing hearing and everything. Especially when relating to situations or remembering.

  So from possibly you speaking about this with others more in depth was there a key thing where you said ‘wow yeah that’s different for me’ or is it more of a ‘similar, but different everywhere’ thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also possible. That’s why I am hoping for a better, sustainable development.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How hopeless is getting a job with a CS degree?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Talking from a European perspective, worldwide view here.

  We know AI programming is not viable on the professional field. Some companies are not up to date with that yet though.

  So I hope when the AI bubble ends in one way or another you will be needed and wanted.

  Speaking on a personal level, if you’re into computers and not just there for the money you’ve got an advantage because those only there for the money are often a bit lacking for the job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨culture⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s really no difference in the medium or different methods of transmission. It’s possible to imagine the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t fight for your rights it will not get better, so it’s kinda short sighted.

  Or illegaly copy and play and fight, but please do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, thanks for continuing. I have to say, you’re possibly right with overthinking. That’s what we do. And hence, we often jump around to the point of getting lost in our own line of thinking - the latter being exactly what happened.

  I am now trying to read through the fragments and have a very hard time following myself. If we were sitting together it might be easier, doing this asynchronous is hard work. So thanks for putting up with that and your effort.

  Let me do some jumping around mobile and desktop and see of I can follow up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well of course you can, as some are doing. The point being you can hardly complain of being treated bad if you freely choose rules and morale on your own, why shouldn’t the other side too? It’s a morality thing.

  ‘I’m behaving like an ass, but they’re not allowed to’.

  I still agree thst Nintendo took a few bad turns and that corporations are inherently evil.

  And lastly, if you refuse to pay you should morally drive the point home by refusing the product. It makes sense and hits harder on multiple levels commercially instead of adding to the hype and everything by still using it. Nevermind the legality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks (honestly) for clearing that up.

  See - that’s the issue. There is this inherent obvious connection on the op topic that you can’t see. And that’s fine, you’re NT. However I am not, hence you’re saying I am an asshole for not elaborating a point you can not understand. It’s literally beyond NT understanding.

  As is many understanding of yours to ND. And when trying to go into this, I, or rather, we are the assholes. So of course we resign. There is this gap in understanding that I even linked and it’s still not enough.

  So, there you go. I am sure it will not or never be enough. It’s just that on the opposite side you as a standin for NT are behaving like assholes, but both sides are literally incapable of getting some points across.

  As said, still thanks for your answer. Be kind to people, you might not understand them. (unrelated to me)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons Officially Have A Pay-To-Press Button⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m far off defending Nintendos action at this point and this just adds to the pile.

  However those emulation comments really piss me off. We have a German saying that would translate to the English have your cake and eat it too, I believe?

  Just don’t give Nintendo money and ignore their current games (tbh there’s so few interesting non S2 upgrade games anyhow…). And there are so many platforms and games you do not need their shitty practices and run out of games.

  It’s a major hipocrisy to damn them and then go that route.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve lost me. And while I provided fundamentals with source I do not comprehend what this short statement is meaning nor trying to achieve but personal ‘winning’ on the internet.

  As previously stated we have to manage our social resources tightly and this is where I exit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You must have an internet connected smartphone to eat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you are asking if I think that is the root of the issue of OPs complaint then yes, absolutely.

  You do not go to China and complain about wechat which is the known established and monitored system you have to use. Everything that comes after is just a consequence of that. People who do not see this have no knowledge of China.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You must have an internet connected smartphone to eat⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ‘I went to China’… Ahh see, there’s the root issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Your answer kinda proves the point to me, meaning no disrespect.

  The issue is we all are using the same words but neurotypical people rely heavily on reading and messaging between the lines, which we don’t do. This results in the so called double empathy problem where there’s a lot of issues in the communication.

  Since 99% are usually neurotypical and 1% are autists, the norm is basically NT and we’re the ones who have to deal with this on a daily basis. And since the knowledge of autism is actually way outdated for many people who do not actively concern themselves with this (and even most professionals, sadly), often people think of the really disabled autists and not fully capable people that have a biologically different brain causing this.

  This pushes the issue to a wholly different level on highly functioning autists, aka nothing seems different but the struggles are absolutely real and the misunderstandings are on completely different levels e.g. a valid harmless query from the Autist to assess a situation is interpreted as a vile attack on a NT.

  Psychologically and socially it’s actually a highly interesting topic.

  I second Linux mint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe it's time for Penguin⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for not stealing data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Autists deal with this daily, on lemmy and everywhere life.

  Phase 1: explain

  Phase 2: just let it go

  And estimate in advance if you have the energy and motivation to get into it. Mostly I don’t even get into it although I would really be happy for constructive exchange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Money doesn't solve everything, but it helps.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Have money for therapy… Therapist selection to get the one fitting for you would also be essential.

  It’s not about parent trauma and standard stuff for everyone.

  Also als neurodivergent a new planet with the opposite 99% / 1% distribution would be very healing.

  Yeah, I’m not having a great day.

  Same as iron man hitting the ground (landing or falling, no difference). Inside his suit would be mush.

  I mean. The first time round with strata and stuff yeah they said stuff like that but now?

  Also it won’t be true whenever.

  I know, I know and everyone defines a different time when it happened. But it’s time for the zombie to… leave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass layoffs expected at EA as the now-private publisher reportedly tells its new debt masters that it's going to cut $700 million in annual costs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  EA died a long time ago.
