Please don’t confuse what is legal with what is right. There is some overlap, of course, but not as much as one might think. Laws are generally written by the rich and powerful to protect their interests, often at the expense of the poor and weak. Many atrocities are lawful, and many acts of mercy are unlawful. I say this as an attorney.

TL;DR: there's a reason we're investing in web components, and it isn't about theoretical purity, it's about delivering great experiences at scale.

White friends: Reflect

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or KKK, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice. Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will." #MLK

Second bright point: "geek-age" is bullshit.

I have known and worked with "kids" who were so fucking smart and motivated that they started busting me minutes after they wrote their first "Hello World".

They come into the trade every day. If we care for them, we will make a new world.

One reason why many Allistics have a problem with Autistic people, who "don't look autistic" and call themselves disabled, is their thinking pattern of hierarchy and competition. We are "too different" and "too similar" at the same time. They don't want to support someone, who might be even "better" in any aspect than they are. In their view only people who are lower in their idea of hierarchy, who for sure can't be serious competitors are allowed to call themselves disabled and be supported.

Mastodon question -- is there a good way to perceive the structure of conversations here? For example, how can I tell when I'm looking at a thread that has branched off of a conversational "trunk" that has other branches I'm not currently seeing? 😅

How does one distinguish #LongCovid from #AutisticBurnout?

It's possible to believe both that nobody goes into frontend to deliver bad experiences to most users, and the privilege bubble has created a toxic miasma of ignorance and self-congratulation that ensures most new hires know only tools that set them up to fail most users.

All flights across the US have been grounded due to an outage of the #FAA #NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) system.

Eng team at the job ran into the 2038 bug for the first time today! (Scheduling an end of month recurring thing 15 years in the future means it happens after INT_MAX for the first time.)

The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.

If someone does not abide by the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

Have you recently been dx or become a self aware #ActuallyAutistic human? Do you want to connect with fellow #AutisticAdults that are coming to learn more about their autistic selves? Come join my discussion & affirmation circle next Tuesday!

@mattblaze "you too could buy your way out of trouble" seems to be the cornerstone. You must believe you're a billionaire in potential. That is faith
