Sounds amazing. Could you provide a link or at least enough names that I can google it?

Nah, that's great because you can so easily escalate to heavy talk. Disagree with the political opinion. Insist car culture is just pointless fashion fads. Dive into the morality of reality TV.

Either they disengage and you're free, or you get to have an actual meaningful debate instead of echoing hollow platitudes.

The actual results are in the text. 56% personifiers among autists vs 33% among not autists, p<0.05. Self report is p=0.06.

Scientific papers are often titled "What it's actually about: something witty." This one is about object personification and so after the colon they personify the paper itself by giving it an emotion.

  1. the whole point of statistics is to extract subtle signals from noise, if you're getting wildly different results, the problem is you're under-powered.

Thanks for taking the time to post these links, just letting you know you're efforts have benefited at least one person who's gonna enjoy reading this.

That sounds awful, I'm sorry you have to go through that. They have those extra leg room exit row seats, but they seem to allocate them at random instead of to tall people.

You say you stand up right away because you've been jammed into your seat for hours, so I'm wondering why you didn't stand up during the flight. Then you wouldn't be jammed in for hours...

Why not stand up during the flight?

Why didn't you just stand up during the flight?

Yes, it's very different. It's the difference between having a kitchen full of tools to make whatever you want (but you need to learn to cook), versus going to a restaurant where things are made for you, but you can only order what the chef decided to put on the menu (and they secretly spy on everything you do, sell information about you, "reset" your table on their whim, etc.).

A lot of people have put a lot of work into making Linux much more accessible than it used to be, but that's just a thin veneer over a much more complex machine.

Do you like taking things apart and seeing how they work? Switch to Linux.

Have you ever tried programming? Did you hate it? Stick with windows.

Do you want to spend hours twiddling with your computer, eventually getting it to do exactly what you want, the way you want it? Switch.

Do you want to just learn which button you're supposed to press to make things run and never have to think about it again? Stick.

I've been using Linux for about 25 years. Love it. Highly recommended. But it's not for everyone.

Lol, ironic in thread about tolerance

Pretty sure both groups are doing that to each other...
