“They have to wear it somehow”

The elephant may disagree with that.

Its actually been proven that AI can and will lie. When given a ability to cheat a task and the instructions not to use it. It will use the tool and fully deny doing so.

Edit:

Not sure why the downvotes because when i say proven i mean the research has been done and the results have been known for while

There is no "but" that is what i said in different words.

The problem with “symmetrical” standard scissors is that you can’t see where you are making the cut properly.

Many lefties who are like me and got used to symmetrical scissors may not even be aware properly pointing blades make it easier of an angle to see what you’re doing.

Might be a different comment in the chain where i mentioned i don't agree with this either but if i want the accommodation today then thats my reality.

I am a firm supporter of moving to a needs first society, not because i have a plan to make things sustainable but because the current system where we sell human survival to corporate greed isn’t doing us many favors.

I recognize that this is a very different angle but there is a global trend for free open source software which are non profit by design.

Of course this basically means you need to be a developer and than there is still the question about how to survive within economic society.

I doubt you want to live from donations coming from where you are now.

The sweet spot, which might be viable for you is an open source devision within a for profit company. Many industries have started to understand the massive value of open source software and standards. Companies like redhat build open source tools on one side but then sell industry tailored packages and support to enterprises for profit. Even Nvidia has started to open source some level of their drivers because they realized that enthusiast will often improve on those for zero costs.

I imagine in some of those divisions its just like a normal company with not just devs but all kinda of roles your direct product will be used by the for profit stuff but also be free for everyone else out there that might need it.

Drop in what bucket?

The one we keep the deficit? The interest on existing debt are paid with new loans. This bucket has no bottom. Money is seizing to have its own value in the long run and the numbers are just a measurement of consumed energy.

Forgive me for asking but are you actually left handed though?

Everywhere i go the default scissors are molded for right hand. On my job (which is very accommodating in a general sense) if you ask they have an additional shitty type which is still right handed in terms of the blades but at least the handle more symmetrical.

For computer mice, those aren’t usually very symmetrical anymore either. Especially if those extra side buttons seem useful there is exactly one on the entire market that i know. This is why the vast majority of lefties use their mouse right handed.

There have been very real situations at my job where could not accomplish a task alone because left handed tools where not available and i was just going to hurt myself. Same thing at home because left handed tools are rarely affordable but are just have to bite the bullet and hurt myself to get the job done.

Don't even get me started on walking in class room and seeing this:

And then they complain about lefties handwritten being bad.

We are tolerated and accommodation exists but these are still fairly new. My grandpa literally got beaten the left handness out of him. We still face daily disadvantages.

About your sunscreen, i am pretty sure if you would ask a doctor they could point you to the most appropriate sunscreen. My point was not to medicalize everything but to break the illusion of the medical perspective. People have different needs and they need those needs accommodated without unnecessary hoops to jump trough.

Of course neither left handed or fair skinned is of a similar complexity as neurodivergence or autism. Many accommodation i need for my autism are outside my price range, they will only give them to me if i first proof they are required. I disagree with the system but the system is all i got to work with.

The tldr for this is Neurodiversity

Almost all disabilities exist only within the context of a culture. They are a human applied label.

I recon most disabled people can do more advanced complex tasks than any animal/pet. Yet we do don't think of our pets as disabled.

We are all born with a useless appendix, which can potentially burst and kill us. If someone was born without. Would we all have a disability compared to them.

Someone with only one arm is considered disabled, extra fingers? If its not the default it’s considered disabled.

Now imagine a humanoid alien race with only 1 arm and a hand with 6 fingers. And imagine what their keyboards may look like. A normal human in their society would be considered disabled. Not because you cant use the keyboard but because you would struggle using a tool not designed for you.

Now the reason why you still want a diagnosis even when you agree with the above is simple. Society has not evolved this perspective. We can accommodate almost all disabilities but they key to getting that help is by first bureaucratically “registering” yourself as disabled by a medical professional.

Pov, you are 4 years old and this is your first chess lesson.

Isn't this kinda what you want?

I am an uncontrollable perfectionist in this scenario. I have yet to start to write down any of the narratives that have lived in my head for years because i feel the tiniest detail or Nuance needs a research paper of its own for it to make sense.

I am more likely to die of old age then write a single chapter but someone is going to inherit a huge collection of neo-science articles.

I deducted the same from reading the title alone.

Op my message to you is this:

Are you sincere in your desire to function properly and be on time. Do you feel bad for not accomplishing this? (Even if burried under a pretends to no longer care) if so, you may very well benefit from professional help.

One of my breakthroughs was overhearing some other students and realizing that they did not care to drop some things, they where strategically choosing not to pay attention in some classes. I never had such luxury myself. I tried in earnest to do right and teachers giving me a “wakeup call” was a fruitless endeavor because i was already suffering.
