A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I am telling the truth, too. I myself even have touches of dyslexia myself, and yet here I am not using it as an excuse to make life harder than everyone else.
So do millions of other people. And so are you, responding with high school/college level spelling, vocabulary and grammar which you are somehow mysteriously capable of doing when you want to win something.
So clearly, it is possible to expect dyslexic people -- like myself and my friends -- to be held to the same standards as everyone else.
You don't have a right to demand people assume everyone who refuses to watch their spelling and grammar is dyslexic.
You don't have a right to demand no one hold anyone else accountable for anything intellectual or to not let us expect people to know, understand, or do anything. That's not how life works.
If you are dyslexic, you have to be doubly careful because of it. And it may not seem fair to you, but life isn't fair, and what you want is an unfair burden on everyone else, including us other dyslexics who do understand that.
You doing that is insulting to the rest of us who do have various learning disabilities and struggles who have to be associated with lazy, selfish people like yourself who think that you're entitled to skate because of it. You are not, we want to be treated as equals to everyone else, and here you are fucking it up using our disability to imply we'll never be as good as everyone else and therefore have to have our hand held and treated as an inferior, and I am telling you no, you will not demand we be mollycoddled because you think no one has a right to hold anyone responsible for anything.
Disabilities are not excuses and you're not going to turn them into one. You have to adhere to the same standards as everyone else whether you like it or not.
