I miss Hanako, she taught me that I was being a white knight, and that it wasn't a good thing. Very important lesson.

Yeah, I know at least 4 of my ancestors should have been diagnosed as Autistic but never got tested. And 2 more were for sure undiagnosed ADHD. They all just ended up being stunted unhappy people instead that had a couple happy moments with their other stunted unhappy friends whenever they would hang out and play trains or music or whatever other "weirdly" deep hobby their sposes had to eventually pull them away from to go back to "normal" life.

Kids with diagnosed or undiagnosed Autism didn't used to stay in the same class as "non-disruptive" students, oftentimes not even in the same school. But it's so much better understood now that there is a much stronger effort to keep the classes as integrated as possible and just figure things out as they present. But the problem is that it's being compounded by spending cuts that have led to integrating even more than what currently makes sense because they can't afford enough teachers to split classes more. Instead, they hire cheaper teachers assistants and try to handle 30+ kids in the same room. A teacher and 2 TAs for 30 kids is a much worse situation than 2 teachers with 15 kids each.

When I was in school, even my, at the time called Asperger's syndrome, was enough to have me pulled out into a side class with a specialised teacher. That side room was 10 kids and had 2 TA's as well. They managed to keep that room so well organised that I was able to pull ahead a grade in that environment. Partially just due to not having to wait for all the other kids in the bigger class to learn stuff before I could move on. Each kid in the 10 kid side-class was on individual learning. So I could breeze through all the stuff I found easy to have more time to work on the stuff that was unduly challenging for me.

On the neurodivergent version of the IQ test they had me do back then, my section scores varied from as low as 74 in a section to 152 in my highest, averaged out to 121 overall. So there was more that I was good at than bad, but 74 is pretty low, so I had to spend a lot of time on that stuff. And it's tough, the brain hates doing stuff that is relatively challenging. But they worked out a sort of interval training reward system that worked for me. I guarantee I am a much more useful person to society now than I would have been without the funding schools used to have. I shored up my weaknesses while still building my strengths.

After a year in the side course, I was able to rejoin the main class, but a grade higher than the class I used to be with before. The school got me a personal education assistant to keep me on task through challenging stuff or boring stuff. Anything that would otherwise cause my mind to wander or seek out other activities. Eventually, with practice, I was able to keep myself in check with the same tactics.

I guess I should have posted a shorter reply, they probably saw two full sentences and gave up before even starting.

They are a very handy shoe when it comes time to clean them. Especially nice for jobs where that is every day, or multiple times a day. And honestly, despite being so cheap, they don't lead to foot problems anywhere near as much as other shoes, even at twice the price.

They may not have much respect, but they are a useful shoe.

Not enough paid humans sorting between which data is examples of good behaviour and which data is examples of bad behaviour. Not saying that is what is happening as we don't even know if there is data, but that would be the weakness in that plan when run the way it would be run if instituted by elon.

Seems well within the correct amount of far.

Ah, I'm out of touch. When I saw the amount, I just assumed that was indicative of how far the ruble has fallen.

Thus, symbolic of how much they would need to charge to mean anything in USD.

Yeah, I take walks outside so much more in the winter, it's Autism-friendly season. Lol. Well, at least those of us that are hypersensory, for the hyposensory folks, I suppose I could see them liking the opposite, as they tend to do.

Although snowmobiles and gas-powered snow tools are pretty popular around here, so I gotta take my walks at night still anyway. 2 stroke engines are the bane of a quiet contemplative stroll.

Parking should follow urinal rules. Never use the stall right next to someone else unless it is the only remaining option. And especially if there is only one person at the urinals so far...

Did you get half way through and assume what the rest of the post must say and skip reading it? It seems like you answered a completely different question than the actual joke that was posted.

Actually, they continued the joke.
