Heydo That’s true, but we also don’t measure galaxy rotation by watching things move. The rotation rate of galaxies is incredibly slow on human timescales. Like, the Milky Way rotates once every 100,000 - 150,000 years.

Instead, we’re looking at differences in redshift from one side of the galaxy compared to the other. A rotating object – assuming it’s axis of rotation isn’t perfectly facing you (i.e. you’re looking straight down its north/south pole) – always has one side that’s moving toward you, and another that is moving away from you. The side that is moving toward you will be slightly blueshifted compared to the average, while the side that is moving away will be slightly redshifted. Finding a galaxy that isn’t rotating means finding a galaxy that doesn’t have this red/blue shift pattern.

etterra@discuss.online Sure, but it’s a really pretty blue colour.

Lexam Same. I was 41 when I put the pieces together, but I’d been ostracised most of my life, and only ever seemed to make friends with rhe weird kids or the adults wity ADHD.

Then my step-son was suspected of having ADHD, and a few searches later Google/YouTube seemed to put the pueces together for me.

okamiueru@lemmy.world That’s not actually what anyone has said. They said that NTs subconsciously use context clues and fill in gaps, making assumptions about what you’re asking if it’s unclear to them. No one has said they’ll undoubtedly infer that you mean something else.

There’s a big gap between the two.

You seem to be inferring what others are saying, and that inference differs from what they’ve actually tried to communicate.

okamiueru@lemmy.world So, believe it or not, “would you recommend this product” isn’t generally a proxy question. They’re actually trying to determine if you might be a a marketing vector, and/or priming you to recommend the product to others.

redweasel@lemmy.world > Why is this even associated with autism specifically?

It isn’t, exclusively at least. But autistic people seem to be targeted at a fairly high rate by Cluster B folks, thanks in no small part to our tendency to take people at face value and trust people when they say they think/believe/will do things, so it’s a common shared experience among autistics.

FiniteBanjo This is why you’re not supposed to swallow the RHNB.

> Do you claim that people being repeatedly interrupted in conversation with others only happens to autistic people

No. And neither does OOP.

> or happens more frequently to autistic people

No. And neither does OOP.

> or that it happening is “harder” on an autistic person than it is on neurotypicals

No. And neither does OOP.

Now, did you jump into this thread just to Well, akshually, or did you have a real point that’s of interest to the rest of the class? Because my issue here is that you seem to want to make the discussion about your disruptive smug fuckery, and think having that pointed out in any way makes the pointer an asshole.

Which makes you a colossal dickhead. And a troll.

Go back to harassing the goats on your bridge.

fridam@lemmy.blahaj.zone This. There’s some sort of flow and cadence they lock on to, and seem to know when to give way and when to take over. There might even be body language they’re reading to know when to jump in and when to yield. I’ve watched it happen at work for years now, where my pod of coworkers will be discussing an issue, and they all just speak seamlessly, one person’s sentence sending and the next person’s beginning like they had coordinated. Meanwhile, I’ll be sitting there waiting for everyone to stop and give a clear signal that there is room to add my own thoughts, and the space never comes.

Usually my manager puts the breaks on the discussion to say “Kichae, it looks like you have something you want to add”. Or, I just stop waiting for an opportunity and start talking over people, and I’m the largest and loudest guy in the room, so they stop.

lostcarcosan@lemmy.today No. I’m not upset at all. Why do you choose to read my comment as I were? I thumbed my nose at someone who dripped in with nothing to contribute other than being a jerkass prick, but that’s different from being upset.

Are you supporting the little whiny one?

Angryhumanoid Why? What have I done that is assholeish, other than point out that there might be a reason these posts keep coming up?

Whining about them seems like awfully fucking dickhead behaviour, though.

Angryhumanoid The autistic experience of being told the thing that happens to you and that feels especially bad or frustrating is normal, so STFU about it. As if finding shit everyone around you sees as normal insufferable isn’t part of the autistic experience.

iamnorrealtakeyourmeds@lemmy.world > find a neurolospicy friend group. Immediately. Go to where you think you’ll will want to hang out, find a neurolospicy group, and force you way in. best thing I’ve ever done in my life.

It should be noted, this trick doesn’t work if the group is all extroverted ADHD-havers.

osanna@lemmy.vg There’s a vast, vast gulf between “life is not imbued with inherent meaning” and “I just don’t see the point in anything”. Nihilism, as a world view, isn’t generally crippling. It just boils down to “this is what this is, and nothing more”.

You don’t sound like a nihilist, you sound deeply depressed. You can be a nihilist and depressed, but what you’re expression sounds much more like depression rather than nihilism.

My guess would be, because there are many more people with strong autistic traits out there than there are with diagnoses, thanks to autism, medically, being a disorder rather than just a ‘neurotype’, and the bar to be labelled with a disorder can be rather high, and also that you are probably mostly having your meaningful or significant interpersonal interactions with people who have high levels of traits that are similar to your own neurotype.

affiliate@lemmy.world I have a masters degree in physics, and I just straight up don’t do mental math, and never have. Math is for pencils and notepads. And I love pencils and notepads!
