I agree… to a certain degree. I don’t think every sort of gatekeeping makes you an asshole, but this… does apply, unfortunately.

The specific reason for my take here is that people dismiss things they don’t understand all the damn time, especially if it’s an “invisible” affliction. Implicitly and sometimes without even realizing it has happened.

It is impossible for people to understand major depression, “significant” ADHD, etc if they haven’t experienced it themselves, and most people just haven’t, and therefore can’t. While that is true, the brain is only too eager to pattern match, which is where you get into “major depression is like when I felt slightly sad once and could just focus on something else” and “ADHD is just like when I didn’t particularly feel like doing that one thing, but then it took almost no additional effort to do it anyway and it made me feel better afterwards”. If you try to map those experiences onto people with, bluntly speaking, any kind of actual problem at all, you will think the problem is much simpler than it realistically is to anyone actually affected - and not even realize it is happening.

Some people can get closer to actual understanding through (near) connections who both suffer obviously enough and are talkative enough about it - but this is rare and it fucking shows.

In short, it is intellectual laziness proper, in a form that you very definitely can do something about. As opposed to just saying “you and you with your definitive respective neurodevelopmental differences from the average, you should be able to tackle any consequence arising from it with straight up aplomb”. Which, in case it wasn’t obvious, I’m not a huge fan of.

I feel like an asshole for saying this

And do you know why that is?

Your claims don’t need to be refuted. They manage that fine on their own by being patent nonsense.

I likely have some combination of autism / ADHD myself

Should probably stop using that as an excuse, bro. Just try a bit harder on this empathy and knowing-what-you’re-talking-about thing. Wikipedia is your friend

A lot of it was lightweight enough that archival sites etc might not have specifically ruled them out, aside from specific efforts to preserve Flash material. There are also modded versions of Flash Player and emulators that can still play SWFs, and FLV remains supported fairly commonly.

Ssssshhhh, for god’s sake don’t give them any ideas.

Presumably it’d interfere with .ml etc censoring dissenting (i.e. sane) opinions, which is why it’s not happening. Same as how instance blocking was like pulling teeth

Who’d’a thunk a bunch of angry (self-styled-)commie trolls who got punted off Reddit and decided to make their own, with Marxist blackjack and Marxister hookers, would eventually deteriorate into this shit.

Yeah, I’m sure these toy guns are the real reasons shooting sprees are routine in the US

What a weird overtone of moral outrage this has, considering your comments. But admittedly, the user reviews are fucking gold as a non-American.

What you want is not what you’re asking. You want less politics, judging by the other replies. People here will not give it to you, as furiously political circlejerking is part of Lemmy etc from its inception

No it isn’t.

“I shouldn’t have to use permissions or sudo, just all root all the time”

N64, and this is the one I actually grew up with. They took a chance, they fucked up by making an alien spaceship three-pronged dildoesque monstrosity, that wore out at mach speed - especially by normal gameplay in certain (coughMarioParty1cough) games. While I have tons of love and nostalgia for N64 and several games on it, it can’t excuse the controller itself.

Close range.
