Fuck Russia with a barbed pole (and I don't mean someone from Poland if they're getting ideas).

Allowing students to get a broader education sounds good to me. Even if not strictly classroom knowledge, being in a new culture would help them have a better range of experiences. Something that I think many people could use in North America, mean including me.

I'd be jealous I couldn't do it but never to the point I wouldn't want it for newer generations.

Mean of for ruse grants and scholarships sound good too don't get me wrong on that, helping educate is so sorely needed it seems.

That sounds awful I'm sorry. Even were told you were that doesn't mean a stigma for your situation, it's all personal.

I've learned to navigate life best I could, have done well enough but not as well as I probably could have. Even if you have it I've never known what any diagnosis could solve. Its sort of a thing ya just gotta go work through in your life is all. Like a dummy weight off the boat you stear against. Don't do much nautical stuff so hope that fits.

I hope you figure out your path.

Also never had anyone think I was autistic but never had many people around to mention otherwise, plus wasn't a big thing when I grew up so now just figured this is me. But I realize I'm not what people would assume as normal once they scratch the surface is all.

Elites keeping things to themselves, tale as old as time. That's why they makes the lllms computationally expensive (requiring huge data centers mean but really that's just their level now). But someone will figure out a better algorithm that we'll be able to do on our phone one day. Then next generation comes out.

So the issue isn't technology but the elites eh? All commie talk I know, can't wait for that kid in diapers now end up with the best way to make them learn with minimal requirements. Course by then the next thing will be taking off. Oh well. When you make under 100k and they can throw billions at an issue it's nearly impossible....but I can't wait for someone to open source something to make it all worthless for monetary gains while the elite are holding onto it hard. Maybe it'll happen maybe not oh well.

Yup been there did that. Like I feel like I'm herding cats as a programmer and my boss has no clue. Wait I think that's exactly it. No one else has a technical side and I gotta figure out the programming side from bad specs.

As bad as that may be, a phone call with a random person feels way worse so I put up with the rest. I am not a people person (cue up office space heh). I was so relieved when I found out we didn't need the 1hr conference call cause we were certified on other APIs....also what? Maybe make sure the companies work for all your APIs but no phone call for me thankfully I was dreading that since the first email)

I weighed the diagnosis vs all the appointments and sort of figured why bother? What does it change? I'm still me, and have figured out how to navigate my life. While I know that won't work for everyone I was near 30 when I decided that. Also almost 50 now so not much material or awareness about it when I was much younger or known why I didn't quite fit in.

Perhaps I'm not on the spectrum, but I sure tick a lot of boxes. I'm actually relatively comfortable with me now. Do I wish I could be more usual? Yeah of course but gotta play the hand you're dealt.

And anything better we rejected according to the machines (well guess they don't say they tried incremental improvements in the matrix)....looks at the world huh seems accurate, I so thought we were on turning things for better back then, having more inclusive shows (though they were stereotyped it felt more inclusive).

Also yes I know other issues but things were mostly progressing in a positive manner for acceptance. Used to party with such cool people of all types and it was awesome we had fun, people of all types enjoying their time. Maybe the drugs helped but regardless it was Fun!

In the end the aggro of the white wing (sorry right wing) of politics is polluting any acceptance for creating division. Mean they were starting back then but not as much traction it feels like. I just hope we as humans can figure out we're all humans and more similar than different to get along before we nuke our civilization.

Moving to non US companies seems like a good thing these days. As much as I do developer work I'm not overly knowledgeable on these types of services especially when they need to scale up to a level needed for this, but awesome to hear.

*raped, he would have raped her.

I'm sure all guys talk about how much their partner reminds them of their daughter (according to Stormy Daniels which I believe) how presidential

Every once in awhile these sort of posts make me introspective, they say almost exactly the same as my opinion about what I think of far right conservatives. Then I remember I'm not the one oppressing people and want to accept everyone as long as they don't bring intolerance.

The Republican party: please see us as the victims even if we've directly cultivated this outcome. How would we know it may cause us problems and not the Democrats? Seriously this isn't our fault, the government is only on hold due to Democrats not voting for a speaker. Send donations so we can get more Republicans to argue with next term.

So with wildfires in Canada there's evacuation zones near me, but I can't click on some announcement links from the main site that shows the evacuation zones because they go to twitter and you need to log in now. I think they show some on other pages on the site but they do the quicklink to the twitter announcement in the sidebar so you have to click around a bit to get to it. Yes I know the name but whatever. My point being is when the social media site that was meant for short bits of info isn't good for emergency notifications where everyone can read, it's shitty and potentially harmful.
