I am the universe, and therefore the universe has a purpose in giving me consciousness for a lifetime. We get a lottery for what life-form we get created in (whether we're a human or a fish or a leaf) and most of that life will go just chasing the continuity of life (consuming energy, burning energy, reproducing), the rest is all made up rules of engagement in society (school, work, career, politics), all of which is "Leela" - a very believable illusion, like a game of monopoly or a very engaging play or a movie - believable, but not absolute truth. So back to the universe and why it gave me consciousness in the first place? It's just so that I can experience the universe, and see the beauty and oneness of all universe - not just the stars and the planets, but also the living forms of it - the flowers, the bugs, the pets, the wildlife, and all of the other humans on this planet, each one a unique fucking marvellous magical version of the same universe.

50 years ago - you won't believe how many paper pushers we'll be able to get rid of once this invention called computers takes off!

Also, man these robotic arms sure help automate our factories, but if you turn your head upside down you will see it as 'lowering the market value of human skills'.

What are you even going to do if you were proper diagnosed? There is no fix, no cure for it, it's only for you to know that you have different wiring in your brain and you know that already because that is the only way things make sense. I'm not proper diagnosed but it makes sense that I'm neurodivergent because I know I've been different all my life in how I see things versus how others see them. The best thing I can do with that self-diagnosis is to simply accept and embrace my neurodivergence and maybe even lean fully into my weirdness if so called because I know that that weirdness allows me to see things clearly when others cannot, and prioritize things correctly when others cannot, and problem solve through life like a champ when others cannot. That weirdness is not a weakness, but a superpower, so maybe just keep it secret ;)

Hello world, lemmee refugee here, & first post on piefed! I had exported my settings before the ship went down, figured we could import it in another instance to save my comments and communities, but I don't see any option to import here. Does piefed speak with Lemmy yet it's not part of Lemmy?
