But the comic is also pretty short, so I can’t see how they’re gonna stretch it out that much. The movie did a pretty good job of covering all the books more or less, so I can’t imagine this show being more than maybe 3 seasons.

Yeah, I’d rather not support the CEO who has actively scrubbed Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard off of Tesla’s legacy, has actively fucked with Cali’s HSR for his shit idea more or less meant to just prevent HSR in the first place, made a fire hazard into a “revolutionary idea” with that tunnel for Teslas, and calls people pedophiles because they call him out on his bullshit “promises”.

That’s why if something “fails” to scan or you input some produce at a cheaper price “on accident”, then it’s the store’s fault - you’re not a cashier, just a customer doing self-checkout.

I wouldn’t mind them coming back, but only if they are more mysterious and eldtrich-like beings that people in the galaxy cannot comprehend versus being more or less a edgy mix of gith from D&D and Chaos Marines from 40k. The concept of the Vong is pretty cool, and having a mysterious alien species that’s not only dead and outside to the Force, but also has organic technology sounds dope af, but it would be a lot cooler if we knew less about them imo.

Wait, so does that mean if somebody is named Dick, I can’t call them Richard?

I like how Google thinks it’s going to encourage people turning it on when it’s probably going to do the opposite.

I mostly agree with this, but I also think there should be some way of being able to collate the same 5 communities on 5 different instances under 1 view. I said this when I first came onto the Fediverse, but maybe having a tagging system for each instance would allow for both; users could look up instances with, say, a “news” tag and get every instance with that tag - and this way, the communities would still be separate and can develop differently from one another.

No, it’s really quite easy.

Shitty journalism and paparazzi make it hard to ignore people whose sole personality trait is “money”.

Ideally, we’d stop caring about people because of the sole fact they have a lot of money.

Unfortunately, that’s gonna exclude a lot of money modern-day “journalism” probably relies on.

I see your point. Counterpoint: have you actually read the post? OP’s post reads less like “this is why we shouldn’t have kids” and more “holy fuck am I gonna be able to have this kid grow into a functioning adult?”. You can at least stand to be less rude.

OP, I’ll toss you my two cents as a slightly younger person whose been diagnosed their whole life: if you’re this worried about being a good parent for the kid, then I honestly think your kid is in the best possible hands. I think the biggest thing that helped a lot for me growing up was patience - I was lucky enough to have parents that loved me enough to have the patience of a saint. I also think I didn’t speak til I was around 3 or 4, but nowadays I am able to actually hold conversations with people, have a full-time job in IT after graduating college with a bachelor’s, and I am able to live on my own without assistance. While that’s one part a humblebrag, I also two parts pointing that out because your kid can also achieve the same things - if a mess of a kid like me can do it, I optimistically believe that anybody can do it.

Now, gonna be real here: it’s not going to be easy, doubly so because you’re also diagnosed yourself and a single parent. It’s not impossible, but you will go through a lot of trials and tribulations - and so will the kid, because they also have to put in the effort. But if you love that kid, give them the patience they need, and try your damnedest to help them out with anything they need growing up… I think that sounds like a good recipe for raising any kid, autistic or not.
