Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel?
The US is supporting Israel through what we can mostly all agree is a genocide of the Gazans. Clearly, Biden isn’t a genocidal maniac, yet he’s all in with unwavering support. Why are we doing this? There has to be a logical reason that isn’t just “we want Israel to kill everyone in Gaza and take their land a la...
Is there a title (Mr/Ms/Mrs) that is gender neutral?
Let’s say there’s someone I want to call Mr/Ms/Mrs [Name], but I don’t know their gender, is there a title I can use that doesn’t assume their gender?
Why doesn't the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union?
Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?

The sun dial worked during daylight, but how did people agree on what time it was at night before clocks were invented?
I'm in this post, and I like it. (lemmy.world)

[OC] Anyone else insist on using the generic name for all meds? (lemmy.world)
Image: 4 panels organized in a rectangle following a sequential order like a comic strip. The first panel is of a man with a very serious face stating, “Hey man, got any diphenhydramine?” The second panel is a grainy picture of the actor Robert Downey Jr. with a slightly inquisitive face and saying, “What’s that?” The...
I always thought it was called "learning" and that people enjoyed it (lemmy.world)
Like, why wouldn’t people be interested in knowing that the African slave trade of the colonial period actually started with Jewish kids, but they all died in the African climate of Sao Tome, so the Portuguese started buying slaves from the Congolese, which they captured from neighboring tribes, to work the fields??
I would appreciate a diagnosis or classification of autism that isn't described as a disorder
Using a social perspective to autism, I would appreciate if there were a way to classify someone as autistic without calling it a disorder. Yes, we have difficulties, but from a social perspective, a lot of them come from society being structured to meet the needs of allistics. They get guidance, acceptance, and ultimately...
Does anyone else take like 2-3 hours to wake up every single morning?
It’s exhausting because I spend a good portion of the day waiting for my mind to start working, and it’s pretty inefficient. I’m trying to figure out what this is all about, like is it temporary due to burnout, Strattera, or something else.
Neurotypicals, what do autistic people look like to you?
Trying to get an idea of how NTs see us. I know that when I see autistic people, I see someone that’s like me. Obviously, that’s not how NTs perceive us, so what do we look like to yall??
What's a proper response to another dog attempting to mount your dog multiple times and the owner really not doing anything about it?
The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they’re trying, but if I weren’t there, they wouldn’t intervene at all. I’m asking because I want to make sure that I don’t over react next time.
When a place is called " Heights", what does "heights" mean/refer to?
For example, in Washington Heights and Golan Heights, what does “heights” mean? What does it tell us about the place?
What is bothering you right now?
We’re autistic, and one of the characteristics of being autistic is that we feel things deeply. On the positive side, when we are happy, we feel immense joy compared to others. On the negative side, we feel painful emotions more strongly than others as well. Because of this, many of us have been invalidated, insulted, or...
Tip to help welcome the exodus: Post and comment to increase engagement
Hi all,...
Tell us you were late-diagnosed/discovered as autistic without telling us directly
Tell us that you discovered you were autistic as an adult without directly telling us that. Imply it by sharing personal experiences.
ELI5: In computer networking, what is a port?
I often see that network settings have a field for logical port. What is this field.referring to?
Just started Strattera. I feel superhuman, but have some questions about the side effects.
I’m only on day 2, but I feel so able to concentrate, it’s ridiculous. I know it’s expected to take weeks to start working, but I’m feeling it already. I spent the morning reading wikipedia, catching up with work, and doing laundry that I hadn’t done for weeks. Now, I’m gonna go out to eat at a restaurant with a...
I just want someone to come to my house and do their own thing for the day. We don't even have to talk. I would be so happy and productive. (lemmy.world)
