Idea i'm surprised hasn't happened yet:

MicroCoin. A blockchain currency backed by a tech giant. It seems to me it'd be both crypto and fiat. It could easily become the world's reserve currency. Msft could arrogate all the power of the banking cartel in-house.

Will someone who actually understands economics explain to me why we're still using dollars?

BernieDoesIt,
@BernieDoesIt@mstdn.social avatar

@Uair @actuallyautistic Because we have to pay taxes in dollars.

We worry about providing Universal Basic Income because people might stop working, but here's a thought: maybe, just maybe, with a little financial security, people might actually pursue work they truly choose rather than work to just not die. Imagine that world for a moment.

to issue executive order aimed at protecting Americans’ sensitive data from and other ‘hostile countries’

The measure targets the business of selling people’s personal information, which the White House said could be used “to track Americans (including military service members), pry into their personal lives," and be passed on to foreign intelligence.

@GottaLaff This makes sense. If foreign intelligence wants to buy information on Americans it should buy it from an AMERICAN company.

I ate the exact same lunch from kindergarten through high school.

Then I really "mixed it up" in adulthood and would eat the same lunch for 2-5 years before shifting to the "next lunch" phase.

Yet it took till my mid-30s to learn I'm 🙃

...just one of so many things I look back at and think "All the signs were there!"

On a related note: I know I'm not alone in having my missed...

...then misdiagnosed as neuroses 🙄

@EmilyMoranBarwick @nddev @actuallyautistic @Woofman Me too. Lunch is largely static too. I think it's because I don't want to think that much early in the day.

@actuallyautistic

What do the terms "hyperfixation" and "hyperfocus" mean to you?

I've seen these terms used interchangeably. I'm writing a blog post about hyperfixation coping strategies, and I want to make sure I'm clear on how I'm using these terms.

BernieDoesIt,
@BernieDoesIt@mstdn.social avatar

@dave @actuallyautistic I'd define hyperfixation as a fun thing or a thing to have fun with, and hyperfocus as having fun for a long time and maybe being very hungry after.

I think it's funny that a test for autism lists a lot of questions that are virtually impossible for autistic people to answer due to the binary nature of the options.

It's interesting to see the social relatedness score not be higher, because people with a sensorimotor score that high generally find looking at other people for a long period of time to be highly uncomfortable.

BernieDoesIt,
@BernieDoesIt@mstdn.social avatar

@RickiTarr @Alice Ricki, FWIW, one of your posts that I read last night set off my AuDAR. I don't remember what it was. I'm included to believe that your score is measuring something real. If you're in a good place right now there really isn't anything you need to do about it, but you might want to try dipping your toes into the online autistic community to see if you like it.

People, please stop telling me how to write my threads.

I number each toot and hashtag the first one and occasionally subsequent ones. All you have to do is click on a toot to see which thread it is.

The reporters also name the judge and lawyers in each toot, so how hard is that to figure out?

If you can’t follow my simultaneous threads, and think you can do better, try writing your own. Let me know how that works out.
