Yeah. Wheel chair users are a good example. If you can't leave the wheel chair at all, then it's acceptable. But if you have the ability to walk short periods without it's all the sudden "you're faking".

Same with if you have some vision but your vision is heavily impaired. Or if you're hard of hearing but only in a certain range.

We just don't hear about it as often when people have physical disabilities.

False. It follows directions or hallucinates. The problem is that when it follows directions, those giving the directions haven't given any thought to the scope of what it's capable of or what it has access to. So they give directions that are incomplete or open ended, and add no constraints. if it hallucinates usually that involves its output to the user which almost always means the user has to be able to understand what the output should be and therefore be able to vet the answer given.

To convince the public he's guilty. It's one of the ways they skew the narrative.

Remember in the movie "SWAT" where that monster guy who entered the country illegal to kill the one guy and then offered money to get him out? That's Hollywood doing their part to put the idea in our minds that this kind of thing is warranted.

People do want to help Luigi and that scares the shit out of them too. They expected people's moral compass to make them side with the CEO he shot. But that's not what happened. The general public is very much pro Luigi.

Socially there is the potential for some lack of social skill development. But on the other hand, Autistic people generally don't have the same social skill building or the same social norms as neurotupical people so what you are experiencing may just be that on top of societal pressures.

All that being said, no one is the same. If (when societal pressure is removed) you are okay with your place in life and how you're living it, that should be enough of a reason to not worry about it (I know that anxiety can play a role in whether or not you actually can "not worry").

I would say you're doing the best you can, but if there is something you personally want to get better at (social communication etc) then I think there's no reason not to work on that.

I'm high masking. People generally only find me off putting after prolonged exposure to me where they start to see my mask slip. I have a hard time being articulate mostly at times where there's a high stress high emotional environment. I lived at home with my parents til my mid twenties when I joined the military. I have a younger brother with more severe and debilitating autism and he needs constant care. But my parents are divorced now and neither of them is in a situation where if I went back I could do much to help. All that to say I'm not exactly in the same boat but I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

Yeah but they aren't a printer or a publisher in their own right. They're a distributor and that's a lot of the problem.

They would need a legal agreement to do that and that would cost money and time and possibly make them liable for using the data to train AI so they aren't going to do that.

For the downvoters: Amazon doesn't have a physical publishing arm. We aren't talking about ebooks here.

on Why people Pirate? · c/piracy · 3 pts · 25d

What makes you think creatives don't benefit? I think it depends on what it is and who publishes the thing. Lots of Indie game developers do benefit from purchases of their games. There are entities that tend to benefit more (publishers, store fronts, etc), but that doesn't mean that the people who made the game don't benefit.

It's the same with music. Labels definitely benefit more. Streaming services benefit more. But at the same time that doesn't mean the artist who made the music doesn't benefit.

on Why people Pirate? · c/piracy · 6 pts · 25d

I think people should be paid for their work. I was happy to pay for music and movies and games. But I am not going to pay for something just to have it ripped away at a moments notice just because of corporate greed.

Additionally, I fully understand why someone would pirate when the thing they want isn't available to them to purchase, or is out of their price range.
