alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

What I feel people frequently forget about autistic special interests is that they aren't always information based. They may simply be visual or mental

Someone may have a special interest in a show, but instead of that meaning that they will talk about that show often, it may mean they watch that show extremely frequently.

Special interests are ways of regulating, not simply encyclopedias we have in our heads. Sometimes it's watching something frequently. Maybe only listening to one genre of music, maybe it's a collection, maybe it's an action. I'm tired of it only being seen as autistic people's personal encyclopedias

We can do this

[tenfingers-elevenpies]

it will literally get ripped apart

[tamamita]

It literally will not, trust me

[mnemonicpneumaticknife]

the thing that will have to be planned for is both tectonic movement and the expansion and contraction of the bridge sections. That is why this bridge will need to have a bunch of ramps and gaps between sections that every vehicle going across will get to do sick jumps off of.

This will also prevent traffic from slowing down. "minimum speed to make next jump: 120 km/h" signs will encourage everyone to go fast, even if the engineers are being a little conservative for safety reasons.

it will work because we are pure of heart

I’m still confused that to many people going outside to read a book is acceptable but going outside to use your phone or tablet is not. Maybe I wanna candy crush in the great outdoors leave me alone

The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be done with it and the sooner you can stop thinking about it. Go on, up you get, it won't be as bad as you think.

[corvid-language-library]

You won't want to do it later either. You might as well just do it now. Even if you don't finish it all, anything you manage to get done now is something you don't have to do later (when you still won't want to do it)

Would marketing still label an asexual love story where the couple realize together that they’re not attracted to each other but still want to stay together as a queer romance because that is a queer romance if you ask me and perhaps the only kind of romance I would personally be interested in writing but would people be willing to market that as a queer romance

[allmyfruitlesssearches]

That sounds like friendship

[what-even-is-thiss]

As an asexual who’s heard that line too many damn times I’m afraid that I need to blow up your microwave now.

abstract and modern art haters are sooo snobby like klein literally Created an entirely new pigment and then painted a canvas in a way where the brush strokes wouldn't be visible. the insinuation that people with no skill could reproduce that is so annoying because unless you are skilled at color mixing and painting you definitely couldn’t lmao

[jaimeroyalrobertson-deactivated]

i hope it's okay to add this because i think it hits the nail directly on the head

[dsudis]

Honestly, it's like picking up a book and saying "I know all these words, I can type, I could have written this" like there's no middle step between the technical ability and the finished work.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I think that we as a society should get more comfortable with the idea that sometimes our friends will be attracted to us and sometimes we will be attracted to our friends and nothing needs to come of that.

You don't have to date. You don't have to stop being friends. You can just keep hanging out. Self control and respect exists.

And sometimes you will date your friend and figure out that your dynamic worked better when you were friends. And then you can go back to being friends. It's really quite simple. Mature and cool, even.

[miseriathome]

Even requited attraction doesn't need to be acted upon. Two people can be mutually attracted to each other and still decide not to date or not to change the dynamic of their friendship. People who are dating can mutually decide it worked better as a friendship, even if the attraction persists.

Feelings are just feelings. Not all feelings need to be realized as actions. It's very mature and cool to still treat people like people even after learning about their feelings, whatever they are.

I think part of what causes this, maybe at least for me, is that the holidays don't last long enough. Like you have all this build up and fuss over these one or two days and then they're just gone. However, something I learned about this is that the holidays did not always last only one or two days. In medieval Europe, Christmas celebrations usually lasted 12 days, not just one or two. The reason you sometimes hear references to the "twelve days of Christmas" in carols and stuff is because Christmas used to actually last twelve days. That's how many days the serfs got off. This wasn't because the lords and bishops were actually generous and feudalism is good, they gave days off because they knew there's limits to how much work a person can do and the lower classes often had to fight to get what few comforts they had. It also might not necessarily be true that medieval serfs worked less overall, they sometimes worked more on the days they did work and they didn't always have Saturdays off. But what is true, is that we the working class in the modern world, with our centuries of industrialization to make everything more efficient could be demanding a whole lot more from our lords and bishops.
