All of the Star Trek timelines agree, Science is blue.

What I see here is an intentional play on words and guess what? There literally is one Clam Meditation playlist.

I know the internet has dumbed down our humour senses with videos, but how does anyone look at this and not see it as an obvious and intentional dad joke?

I identify with this because of my ADHD.

But also, because ADHD, I spent about 15 minutes in a “does not compute” loop because bats can see perfectly well in the dark, so using them as an analogy involving something being lost and helping them by turning the lights on is just not making sense to me.

I’ve broken out of the loop, but I still am not sure why “bats”

I feel much more comfortable in dark rooms, with dark mode screens and quiet.

I am ADHD and ASD though, and it’s ASD that leads to sensory overload conditions that make the dark, quite rooms help me a ton.

My pediatrician has told me that boys with ASD have a 90% chance of having ADHD, and its fairly common for girls as well, though not near 90%.

I suppose, since ASD diagnosis is difficult in more subtle cases and it costs a fair amount of time and money that there are a ton of folks diagnosed with ADHD that are also ASD and don’t realize it.

This is also represented pretty well in Pantheon.

I love it, but as someone with a red-green colour blind coworker, I always try to use blue for positive feedback, and orange for negative, as its better for representation for most colourblind types.

So I checked this on my smartphone first, and thought maybe the software is just shit… So then I checked it on a Casio scientific calc, and both agree.

-3^2 = -9… And 9 != -9

… Are all the calculators somehow wrong? What’s the math rule I’m forgetting here…

Oh derp. Yep it is.

Was better when calcs had a +/- button.

And I remembered the math rule too.

GD I am just realizing how long its been since I did math in my head without a programming language…

I should take a math class again or something and refresh that knowledge.

I mean, gas is the original surge pricing commodity, they have had dark patterns in their pricing long before other companies.

In Canada you have to prepay and set the maximum amount of fuel you want, so this is “every time I dont set the max to more than my tank can hold” for me.

Routhinator, 25 days ago

Our gas pumps dont charge until the pump is stopped. The prepay is a ping on your account that basically reserves the funds after checking you have them, and then it let’s you pump, and only withdraws what you use.

“Why the internet isn’t fun anymore” - proceeds to talk about Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

Completely fails to mention any fediverse sites, or any of the millions of other sites out there.

If you’re the author, the internet isn’t fun anymore because you don’t use it. You visit the corporate websites only. You either never learned how to use the internet, or you’re not interested in actually trying.

Its like the person who never leaves their neighborhood and complains that life is boring.

60? Doesn’t that put you closer to GenX? Was there a “cusp” generation like Xennials?

Yeah I was just picturing the Disney like scene of all kinds of cute animals and birds eating corn, then as the you keep looking you see the express train roll through.

Yes. Though its dated now. Really didn’t have any bright ideas for an avatar when I joined.

EDIT: Updated it to match my tenforward.social one.

I think it depends on personal preference and what kind of user you are.

If you are going to engage in trolling and just being the kind of person someone wouldn’t want to hire its probably best to hide your identify.

Likewise of you just want to keep it a secret.

My identity has been out there on the internet for a long time. Ran a web community, work in IT. I might delve into grayer topics on social media than on LinkedIn, but I try to check myself and ensure I’m considering others and my behavior before allowing myself to just pump raw emotion into comments.

Not going to claim to be 100% successful at either of those but hey I try.

I limit what information is shared about me as much as I can afford to given the nature of the industry I work in.

This. I’m glad they are getting rid of the sham of a kids client. It’s a joke that anyone should think the content is kid safe. No more lulling parents into a false sense of security.

I was supervising my son watch this one day and had to step away for a few minutes to answer the door. When I was gone a new video came on with Peppa Pig murdering her family and all the characters from the show. Actually bleeding and all.

I reported the video, didn’t get taken off the kids platform. So I contacted support - they said it was kid safe.

Kid safe?! Dafuq? I had his account set to under 6 and this is what they consider kid safe?
