From what I’ve read, having a deficit in social communication is a core definitional symptom.

“Autism spectrum disorder is defined by two core symptoms: a deficit in social communication and…”

“[The DSM-V states] that an autism diagnosis requires persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts, as manifested by the following: deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, in nonverbal communicative behaviors used for social interaction, and in developing, maintaining and understanding relationships.”

Exact text of the DSM-V on autism:

Diagnostic Criteria

A. Persistent difficulties in the social use of verbal and nonverbal communication as manifested by all of the following:

1. Deficits in using communication for social purposes, such as greeting and sharing information, in a manner that is appropriate for the social context.

2. Impairment of the ability to change communication to match context or the needs of the listener, such as speaking differently in a classroom than on the playground, talking differently to a child than to an adult, and avoiding use of overly formal language.

3. Difficulties following rules for conversation and storytelling, such as taking turns in conversation, rephrasing when misunderstood, and knowing how to use verbal and nonverbal signals to regulate interaction.

4. Difficulties understanding what is not explicitly stated (e.g., making inferences) and nonliteral or ambiguous meanings of language (e.g., idioms, humor, metaphors, multiple meanings that depend on the context for interpretation).

So, I’m not a diagnostician, but if you have above average ability to read social cues, then that sure sounds like it excludes a diagnosis of autism.

If anyone has information from an authoritative source that explicitly says otherwise then I’d be interested to see it, thanks

You can assume the pad is close to negligible. If you want more accuracy you can dry out the pad, weigh it, then subtract that from the total of the [meat + wet pad]

Do you have a link to an actual source that’s not just a person talking in their car?

You can weigh it with the pad to check

I wouldn’t be surprised if that person never actually ate UNbrind chicken plain in their life, and would be shocked at how bland some chicken can taste

This makes the chicken taste better too.

I know a semi-famous rapper who had a ton of cred on the scene, and parappa 1 gave him awful scores. I don’t know how the game’s scoring system works, but it has nothing to do with how good your rap rhythm is.

Agreed, and that’s the thing. It’s inherently an all or nothing technology, no rules or regulations could ever be trusted to allow the good uses but prevent the bad uses. So the only right option is to prevent the technology from being used at all

No, recording glasses absolutely are awful to have in society, but there are potential good uses of the technology. None that outweigh the downsides, but good uses for it could exist.

For example when you see someone you met before it could pop up a bubble telling you their name, their relationship to you, when you saw them last, previous topics that you’ve discussed with them, etc. Or when you’re following walking directions it could display a green line on the route you’re supposed to follow. Or for people with disabilities it could do things like block out visual elements that could trigger a seizure. Etc.

But as i said earlier, all the potential upsides combined don’t come close to outweighing all the very awful very real downsides. Just clarifying.

This is meta not google, but same difference

No, a distraction from the Epstein file was the point

If someone has an unfair advantage when they’re doing a bike race, then that person steals the other person’s glory and money. If someone has an unfair advantage during a fight then they’re stealing the other person’s glory and money AND they get beat to a fucking bloody pulp when they shouldn’t have.

What the hell are you talking about. If anything that makes it much worse

First half of your sentence yes, second half of your sentence no. There are ebbs and flows of numbers of missiles launched, but compared to earlier in the war I’m pretty sure Russia is launching significantly fewer now, especially if you consider the destructive power of each missile used

I know someone who’s career was ended by this mistake. They had their screen being projected and it displayed porn. I was always curious exactly what kind of porn it was, but it’s a very unhappy story for them so I don’t want to bring it up and asks for details
