It was great. I was 10. I needed to be able to win once in a while, and I did.
They were laughing because they were early neckbeards. They probably had 16k of ram on their fancy BBC Micros.

My wealthy coworker buys top-of-the-line, really expensive TVs, and then just leaves all that shit turned on.
It's because the phrase "neurodivergence" is an umbrella term. It's all but useless in the context given. That's a fact no matter how cool and breezy you are about people with disabilities.
I have an older brother with cerebral palsy - I know no other life than one that sympathizes with people with disabilities. I dedicated my life to helping children with disabilities. I have worked with children with cerebral palsy, autism, adhd, dyspraxia, downs syndrome, retts syndrome, ALS and many other conditions and brain injuries for a chunk of my life spanning over 20 years. I was treating them from before Ritalin was used to treat patients with ADHD (in England at least).
The term "neurodivergence" is not useful in the context it is used in here. Everyone is neurodivergent, and the terms popularity modern times has tweaked it to mean something else that is not clear. A social media "tag" used as an umbrella term is just that. It's not a diagnosis or an excuse because it's not one thing.
It is exactly like saying "i have fibromyalgia" - because that is also an umbrella term that leads to the question, "What does that mean in this context?"
The umbrella term "neurodivergence" includes both conditions that aren't an excuse and are an excuse for behaving like an asshole. Anyone can claim they are neurodivergent because they are. Therefore some people will use the term as an excuse for behaving badly no matter what their quirks are.
Its probably just what everyone's used to. I work in an ED. Fuck anyone who always turns up late. What does 10 minutes matter? It matters a lot actually. This is shift work. The work is never "done".
I'm definitely a recent convert. I hate Windows 11 and all the various features it shoves down my throat these days. I bought a steam deck and ended up dabbling in the desktop mode enough to realize the learning process will be mostly fun for me. I'm mostly gaming these days anyway. I don't use the computers I have at home for much more than that.
I said that Trump better watch out for dancing girls in metal bikinis trying to strangle him with their chains.
Yep. This was me. I followed the android Sync app here. User-created content should not be monetized. Im not going to subscribe to something that's mostly memes, attention-seeking behavior, and bullshit.
I had hated reddit for ages. Many trigger-happy omniscient mods who couldn't admit to a mistake if it swam up their arse and blew a trumpet. I was eventually perma-banned for glorifying violence by making a Star Wars reference about Trump. I can only assume the mod wasn't old enough to remember Star Wars movies.
I had been there from the bright and cheerful early days and watched it become 99.8% trash.
Lemmy has hit the rewind button for me. It kinda sucks that so many people are trying to emulate what modern reddit had become, but it still feels refreshing. With a bit of luck, Lemmy will go in a direction I prefer. It's not that I don't want people to do whatever they want, but i feel like some instances will cater to certain demographics.
Amazing nostalgia. I can't remember how to do it!
Doing the least amount possible to keep a job puts pressure on coworkers to take up the slack. I work in an ER, not an office. When someone is in the bathroom texting, more than they are out on the floor helping its shitty, yes.
My coworker has that kind of sense of humor where he always says the obvious joke you're hoping nobody will make. Then he laughs, and for some reason, everyone else does.
Also, whenever he helps someone and they thank him, he says, "That will be 10 dollars," and then laughs about his joke.
The reason i hate it is this: He's a lazy, quiet-quitting asshole who everyone likes. I, on the other hand, work my butt off. I appreciate a witty, clever sense of humor. However, I'm socially awkward, so nobody likes me!
Is the word "wrong" spelled "wrong" or "rongue"?
Did anyone actually bother to xray his head?
