Kepler, IMHO, is the exception, because they are specifically a coalition of indie devs pooling resources to give other indie devs the best shot of success.

And to the comment above yours: I think any devs who don't have a board of investors or any obligation to anyone but their fans counts as "indie" in my still-honest opinion.

Putting the divider down is also polite. Why are we expected to always be the most polite or suffer cruelty if we don't comply? It's a two-way street.

And my voice is fine. It's the presssure and anxiety of the situation. The nervousness makes it harder to speak loudly.

The point here is that removing the divider after having placed it simply for the person not thanking them is petty at best and cruel at worst, and it simply shouldn't happen.

People should be better, and should have some fucking grace and consider that maybe said person has a hard time speaking, or yet again worse, is mute.

I am autistic. Talking to total strangers anywhere but online is really fucking hard. I find the words catching in my throat every time I go to speak. And even then, sometimes it's barely above a whisper.

To a normal person, this is petty. To me and mine, this is cruel. And you have no way to tell which it will be. Maybe you shouldn't support this.

Damn Central American Swallows!

Excellent. I'll save this in be back in 2½ years.

I am not trying to imply that. What does lead to dangerous ideology is feelings of abandonment and hurt coupled with propaganda getting you to direct your anger towards people who don't actually deserve it. Which is why baseline support and understanding for everybody is important, not just those with neurodivergence and mental illness.

My interest would be in the potential to understand how, if he had these conditions, the treatment he endured might have lead him down that path. It would not be a stretch. As awful as mental health support is now, it was not just nonexistent in his time, you were downright abused for it.

But I am not saying mental illness/neurodivergence = fascist inclinations, I'm saying rejection and abuse for these things leads to resentment and isolation and these are factors extremists play on to recruit people. It is not unique to these demographics, but it can be a factor, and it should be visible without extracting and studying DNA, but if it gets people to listen, fine.

And it will get them to listen, but as I mentioned in my previous comments, they won't take the right lesson from it, and the responses I've receives prove that. All they're going to see is "mental illness leads to fascism," when I'm saying "abuse and abandonment is the problem," but that isn't coming through. We make our own demons. We have always made our own demons. And we will continue to do so as long as we choose locking them up in cages or killing them to understanding how we got here.

Exaclty my point. It's information that could help us understand what conditions lead to the path he went down and thus help us understand what we can do to better prevent people from tumbling down the facist pipeline, such as better support for people with mental health issues and neurodivergent people.

But that's not how the wider world is going to receive that information. They're going to see "autism causes facism" or some shit and mistreat people even harder without the slightest hint of irony.

I don't think this is about "is evil genetic." The first psragraph of the article states it's about his underlying health conditions. Which I think is absolutely worth studying, if it means spotting the early warning signs and intervening before another person ends up like Hitler.

But then I remember the world we live in and realize it's probably not at all going to end up like that. So who knows? But they're definitely not going to find "the Evil Gene."

Understandable! Hopefully it gets to that point soon. A lot of people are sick of Windows and I'd love for it to be as smooth a transition as possible for everyone.

The worst part is: everything that has happened over the course of his presidency has been so absurdly beyond parody that I almost didn't notice that this was lemmyshitpost.

I might suggest you take a look at Envision and see if that doesn't get you what you need right now?

It's not about them seeing it, it's about venting frustration, and as left-leaning as Lemmy is it should be a safe place for them to do so.
