  • Turns out I’m way more autistic than I thought lol

    Really, good to hear affirmation of that :)

    It really is crazy. I thought I was cis straight het neurotypical. And then through a thorough assessment with a professional adhd, ocd, bipolar, and ptsd are thrown at me, as well as realising I'm nb and panromantic. 😅

    Do you recommend any self-diagnosis tests? The tests I've tried linked via the resources link of this community that test for autism more directly, I usually score really low on, and I have a lot of issues with the way they test. Like "Are you feeling depressed sometimes", "tends to be lazy", "can be tense".

  • My hips hurt from walking around all day.

    And my joints! (insert gimli.jpeg here)

    Is it possible to be kind of autistic? I'm getting all these diagnoses and stuff in my thirties, because I seem to have fallen under the radar for a lot of them.

    I scored 106 on the RAADS-R score. Where 90 is the point of strong indication for autism and 130 the mean for autistic people.

    Like, yes, I have strong special interests, hyperfocus, etc. but I also have ocd and adhd.People telling me I talk way too fast sometimes, without me noticing, and how it really grinds my gears if people don't take me literally enough or pay attention to what I said/wrote when I carefully chose my words. Especially common with medical professionals, where I tell them I've tried something already and know xyz about it, and they proceed to explain it to me and that I should try it.

    There's other stuff as well, but this is of course not a place for diagnosis. :/ I just think that maybe I have it on the lower end of the spectrum, or just some traits. But I've masked generally since early childhood to survive about all kinds of stuff AND put a lot of resources into developing skills/strategies to get better through life with whatever seems to be causing problems.

  • Thanks for the info. In that case I think this belongs to a Minnesota community. I'll delete this and post there :)

    Thank you, I completely missed that.

  • Family of Alex Pretti retains lawyers who helped prosecute the George Floyd case

    Jump

  • Yeah, I admit my comment isn't that clear.

    By 'like light and shadow', I mean the same way decent people under oppression use the same lawyers fighting David vs Goliath battles, oppressors also use their same ethically challenged lawyers.

  • Videos show altercation between Alex Pretti and federal officers 11 days before he was killed

    Jump

  • Quite unlikely, I think. At least in the sense that they lured him into the scene to help someone and then murder him. As that would be quite a bit more elaborate.

    Since all the ICE offenders enjoy unjustifiable anonymity by the administration, it's not easy to see if any of the thugs from those two events were the same. As the second possibility would be that when he came to help, someone recognized him, and being the man-children they are, then shot him. Either this, or they simply did loser thug things in the spur of the moment.

  • The video I linked isn't hosted on tiktok. So the balance would be, either a video hosted on Mastodon with TikTok overlays, or a link directly to youtube, which is google/alphabet. I think it's a wash.

    Also, thanks for the information, but I can't find the short.

  • Fuck yeah!

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? January 27

  • Oh yeah, Dune is really cool :) It's only really through the fediverse that I got back in touch with fantasy. I see so many good titles mentioned. And after reading that really heavy stuff it only makes sense you're going for something lighter!

    I think I'll create an account on StoryGraph and message you to add me, as your profile is private :)

  • In another thread on here, people are saying that there is some serious spam issue with Deezer. I imagine the thread to be generally helpful for you, OP. https://piefed.social/post/1672033

    Deezer CEO, Len Blavatnik was also part of this story, according to Washington Post: US billionaires joined Whatsapp group to 'change Israel narrative'

    Last month, members of the chat, including billionaire Len Blavatnik , held a Zoom call with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, at a time when a pro-Palestinian encampment was taking place at Columbia University in the city.

    During the call, attendees spoke about making political donations to Adams, and about how the business leaders could urge Columbia's president and trustees to permit the mayor to send police on campus.

    Some members of the chat offered to pay for private investigators to help police during the protests.

    As I've written in the other thread. Tidal is ultimately owned and controlled by billionaire Jack Dorsey, Twitter co-founder and Bsky founder, etc. FYI.

    I think the Quobuz is the best choice.

  • Very different stuff. Due to chronic pain that affects my focus, I'm not reading thaaat much anymore, especially stuff for leisure, as it's even harder to focus when I'm supposedly relaxing. :)

    The closest, I guess, is Homer's Odyssey as an audio book (Emily Wilson translation) which I'm currently enjoying. In the beginning I thought she's going way too much into all the stuff surrounding the story, but after a while it made sense, and I'm grateful for it.

    Something I've read recently-ish: Psychopaths Anonymous by Will Carver. Kinda literary fast-food, unless you have an interest in the theme, but still both gruesome and funny. I think True Crime folks would enjoy this.

    The novel Children of Gebelawi by Naguib Mahfouz. He is a legendary Egyptian author. Someone told me he'd write his novels sitting outside cafes after work.

    Also by an Egyptian, and an easier read, I think, Beer in the Snooker Club

    Also currently reading: Ancient Egyptian Myths and Legends - Spencer, Lewis. This is somewhat leisure, I think, but non-fiction of course :)

    In a similar fact/fiction vein, I'm also working my way through: Strange Stories, Amazing Facts Stories That are Bizarre, Unusual, Odd, Astonishing, and Often Incredible.

    One of my favorite authors remains Haruki Murakami. Wind-up Bird Chronicle is my absolute favorite novel. Norwegian Wood, and 'Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World' come close behind.

    Broken Phoenix by Edmond Manning is something I really wanna read, to get some fantasy in there, but couldn't get my hands on yet 😭

    What kinda stuff do you enjoy?

  • Glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately my memory is really bad on his books. And what I liked back then as a teenager I might cringe at today. :) I think these two were my favorites.

    I remember reading Brighton Rock while in Brighton, though. It was written as a money-spinner, but apparently had pretty good reviews and he was happy with it. One site says it's one of his most famous works. Again, I don't remember anything about it 😅.

  • Ye apologizes for antisemitic remarks, again

    Jump

  • The Anti-Defamation League called the apology overdue, saying it does not undo the harm caused.

    Also overdue for them to get dissolved. Hypocritical Zionist harassment engine accusing anyone who doesn't like Israeli oppression as hateful...

    Prior to 2007, the ADL described the Armenian genocide as a massacre and an atrocity, but not a genocide.

    In 2010, the ADL issued a statement opposing the Park51 Community Center, a proposed Islamic community center and mosque two blocks from the World Trade Center site in New York.

    The ADL considers anti-Zionism to be antisemitic.

    In June 2024, the community of the English Wikipedia reached a consensus that the ADL was "generally unreliable" on the topic of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict,[280][281] including "the intersection of antisemitism and the [Israeli–Palestinian] conflict, such as labeling pro-Palestinian activists as antisemitic".

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Defamation_League#Reception

    This is purely directed at the ADL. I have no comments on Kanye West, as I don't follow anything he does.
