My British autism and too long time spent online among non-Brits causing me to consider it could have been meant non-sarcastically. Those people are out there.

Great, so now all kind people have to look out for:

Oh, you too?
We should create a group for our special class.

Poe’s Law prevents me fathoming if that’s said in earnest.

If people disagreed, I convinced them otherwise.
Because being wrong didn’t matter. Daddy had their back.

Do not underestimate the idiocracy.

I did some maths yesterday, after hearing said that wages have gone down by a third every decade since 1970… meaning (if I did the maths correctly) in this coming decade wages are less than a tenth what they were in the 1970s.
A quick search just now suggests house prices are about 4 times more expensive in real terms over the same period.
So that’s fine. We just have to pull on our bootstraps over 40 times harder for better budgeting enough to buy a house.

ADHD can be perfectly healthy.
It just takes some skill to ride that wild bull.

Yep. Like merc@sh.itjust.works said at the end of their reply:
I guarantee that most of the kids that come from rich families have no idea what it’s like not to be rich. As a result, they don’t ever consider that it might not be normal to be able to have your dad’s lawyer look over the contracts for your new company free of charge. They never think of how easy they had it to find investors for their company, and how forgiving those investors were. It never occurred to them that during those lean months at the beginning when their company hadn’t yet started generating real revenue, that it was unusual to be able to live in their parents’ spare apartment in the city, and to have dad pay off their credit card.

Gotta admire the cojones of those bootstraps.

Why not build a separate one to train those without such?
I mean, if we’re doing a two tier thing, surely it’d at least be educational, to help the disadvantaged…

Please tell me they’re not done, and they’re going to make a ceramic moulding of it, to pour a very strong alloy into… And have the competence in chemistry, metallurgy, metalwork and engineering to know they have the precision and strength to make it work.

Arguably, sun worship is at the roots of all religion, and so that’s like saying to god “kill yourself”.
Maybe your prayers are answered. Just wait about another 5 billion years.

PS, I admire your verbal intelligence if you effortlessly get the meaning of that on first read. Quite the vocabulary you have there. Did you swallow a thesaurus when you were 3 years old?
- Comment on Give me some good ones 2 weeks ago:
I’m looking for insults so intelligent you don’t realise you’ve been roasted until 3 thoughts later.
Your precocious insipd query’s so strongly influential it triggers my ilithiophobia and a solicitude for philanthropic mischance and exponential precarity of inviolability, and thus my small voice has me incapable of answering.
… May take longer than 3 months [Edit, oh, dyslexic misread, it’s “thoughts”, not “months”. I aimed too high.]. May never realise.

I’d say the conflation’s the bigger part of the problem.

People like this argument, because they can then hate autistics. They could say we are inherently broken and need to be “fixed” or genocided.
Wow. You’ve met people offering that inference from that argument? Aaaaand my ilithiophobia strikes again. It’s like hatred of left handed people all over again. Please, if you ever encounter someone with this disturbing notion, please do offer them some better sense. Please explain to them it’s not a moral failing, or failing of the content of their character. Please encourage them to not be so fearful and hateful of difference. And it does not even matter what “causes” “autism”. That kind of “fixing” is abusive as hell… like ABA. Genocide, too… perhaps the most dangerous form of only having one tool in the toolbox. Gotta teach these muppets more tools. Cant leave them running around with such dangerous foolishness, uneducated and unchallenged.
At this point, I only respect people who were discriminated/abused/mistreated in their childhood.
Yup. >9000 times more respect for we few worst bullied at my school. Only a couple days ago I was thinking/remembering/feeling this so very strongly, and how I’d love to reconnect with them all, to share my admiration of them, my sympathies, and perhaps most of all, my apologies for every time I did not find the courage to step in and stand up for them, and worse, any of the few times I joined in to survive.

Sides?
Oh, so we’re talking about those bifurcated into competing groupthinks, not the search for truth with an educated mind.
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain an idea without necessarily accepting nor rejecting it”, not picking a side. And certainly not flinging around sweeping generalisations^1^.
( ^1^, and when I was trying to remember/refine that term, I asked an LLM, and it suggested there may also be the following fallacies in that: False Equivalence, Appeal to Authority, Appeal to Popularity, Appeal to Trust/Tradition, Straw Man, Vague Reference, Guilt by Association, Reification, Othering, Composition Fallacy, Division Fallacy, Weasel Words, Anonymous Authority, and of course, Sweeping Generalization. That’s quite an impressive collection. And you did it so slick. Most slipped my attention. I bet you don’t get called up on your fallacies often. Not just from the intimidating arrogant airs, but because you’re so slick with them. Hope that helps you introspect and scrutinise your thinking, and is well received to consider.) :)
