What companies to look out for for next Gen battery/energy storage developments?
Not sure how to word this… But who should I be following in terms of battery/energy storage research and development companies? I’m less interested in start ups and more interested in bigger companies who are investing heavily in R&D
I don't understand the difference between Libertarian and Anarchist
Most of what I’ve seen sounds like Libertarians are actually anarchists who’ve been misinformed by the dominant culture about what anarchism really is....

Thoughts on why small talk is so uniquely painful (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
Image text: @agnieszkasshoes: “Part of what makes small talk so utterly debilitating for many of us who are neurodivergent is that having to smile and lie in answer to questions like, “how are you?” is exhausting to do even once, and society makes us do it countless times a day.”...

I just spent way too much time tracking down how to report a scam on Amazon to Amazon and the FTC and then reporting it and writing a review to tell people how to report it for a $6 can of cat food that I personally did not order ever. 🥴😅💀✊😂😂😂
What is it like to be Neurotypical
I’ve had this question in my brain for weeks and I don’t know where to put it. I guess I chose here because maybe someone else has had this same question and found answers. Maybe it’s a stupid question actually....
App Recommendation: Website, PDF text to audio
Reading is hard. I often want articles and PDFs for work to be read aloud while I’m doing something else. Anyone have any Android apps for this?
Happy Hopeful: I found an awesome Primary Care Physician and he prescribed me Guanfacine! (youtu.be)
I’m feeling really excited and hopeful and nervous. I found an awesome doctor who is not part of some huge corporate medical conglomerate, is LGBTIQ+ safe and is relatively knowledgeable and accepting of Neurodivergence! I could cry. Only an hour away from me (lolsob) but is open to telehealth if a physical exam is not...
Got my insurance quote for my diagnostic assessment
I’m paying for the low deductible insurance at my company (higher cost, supposed to be better benefits). I made an appointment for diagnostic assessment at the beginning of the year, their next available appointment was SEPTEMBER 30. They called me yesterday with the estimated cost to me after insurance (I mean nice that they...

Background noise requirements
My lofi isn’t cutting it today, but my podcast is pulling too much of my attention so I can’t think on my work. I need that sweet spot of interesting enough to quiet my mind but boring enough that I can ignore it and think on my work. Gonna look for a history documentary on Carthage or smth
help my safe breakfast is cancelled
I need to eat something or there will be Consequences™ but the Good Foods© are now Bad. 😭 Safe food limbo is my deepest fear
My posts are not showing up in my profile
Both in this instance webpage and voyager app Edit: yes it was because I had unchecked show read posts
Been having trouble with language settings - Undetermined keeps becoming selected despite deselecting it, selecting English and saving repeatedly.
This is causing me issues in the voyager app, not sure if it would be an issue elsewhere.
At least every time voyager freezes and needs to be closed out and reopened every time you switch between apps, the feed is always the same since it never refreshes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s still my favorite tho, thank you for everything you’re doing and I know it’s going to keep getting better
What accommodations have you provided yourself today?
I have meetings all day today starting right off the bat at 9am. The anticipatory stress of that made it difficult to wake up this morning and have me a bit of a migraine so I took my time this morning and made sure to eat a hearty but comforting breakfast and took my supplements and drank a half liter of water. I took a shower...

Just had a really scary client meeting, and it went well! Time to shut down for the rest of the day 😅
Took off my corporate smile, put on a comfortable shirt, laying on my bean bag, deep breathing. Giving myself permission to shut down after a heavy duty bout of masking has been the best part of learning about autism.
