Happy 420! As a resident of the state that first legalized weed, I myself have never had any. For those who regularly partake in it or do so for special occasions, I hope you have a nice 4/20 and a nice week!
You know, it would be pretty damn easy for Ford to make a cheap and reliable EV. If they're so scared of falling behind, just copy what the Chinese are doing. They did that with Japanese cars to an extent.
Y'know, if the Bluesky devs didn't vibe code everything, this app wouldn't die every other day because THE CODE WOULD WORK.
I guess I just get really lucky with seeing them.
The sky's doing weird things again!
I'm actually surprised! I was expecting this to be WAY lower.

Driving sucks. I use my local lightrail any time I need to go downtown.
People with Autism do a lot of weird things to relax. I study/make music and play some videogames. I know it's not too weird to be into these things, but it's hard when people won't let you nerd out about things because they don't understand it. Let your autistic friend nerd out anyway!

These are the proposed cancelations for Trump's 2027 NASA budget. Artemis is in here, along with a bunch of still operational satellites used for weather/planetary weather collection.
Hate to say it, but I called it.
Trump's new budget calls for up to 45% cuts to NASA's current budget. This will seriously hinder or completely stop the Artemis project and many satellites that give us vital data for everyday life. Trump and Elon are jealous NASA did so well.
I am so disappointed. Hans Zimmer was one of the composers that got me into music production in the first place.
My self colored YCH from Kozke. I only colored in the foxxo and his headphones/hoodie.
I think it's possible.
That was cool. Welcome home Artemis II crew!
I'm using this. It's too perfect.
I know it's a common stereotype that autistic people like trains. Trust me, I know. However, there's reason for every hyperfixation. Letting someone nerd out about stuff like this will teach you more about them than any small talk ever could.
Obsession with certain topics/ideas is a common symptom with all people who have autism. This obsession is often called a "Hyperfixation" because obsession sounds creepy and we don't want to be seen as creepy. I've had many over the years, and the one that's stuck with me the most is trains!
Here's some more photos from Artemis II.
I'd love to see SpaceX try to do half of what Artemis II has done. Elon's shitty rocket company has nothing on NASA.
Thanks! My fox's colors are from the music programs and midi controller I use.
Let autistic people explore their abilities by themselves! I never would have found music if I wasn't allowed to try it out. Stop treating your kid like a stereotype and treat them like a human.
Turns out, there's also a program run by a neurotypical person to train autistic people to become programmers! The program does do well and creates some really good programmers, but a lot of aspies get sent to the program and fail because they don't want to program.
He was correct that I'm good at pattern recognition, but not programming. I took one programming class and I was completely lost by the end of week 1. The reason he thought I'd be good at programming is because of Hollywood using autistic people as master programmers/hackers as a stereotype.
All people are useful in some way. Categorizing people who have a disorder is damaging, especially to the image of the disorder itself. My dad is a boomer and for a few years after highschool, he tried to convince me to become a programmer because I was good at pattern recognition.
One of the worst parts about having autism is that I got the less useful (A.K.A creative) autism. I can make any music chord, compose music, sound design my own synths, but because those skills are deemed useless, I'm "not smart." This is a really dumb thing that needs to go away.
I hate that they do this. If you're "normal" enough, they're like "You don't have autism, therefore you're normal. Get back to being normal please."
If we keep using this system, it'll be much harder in the future to actually help Autistic people figure things out, and it'll be even harder for neurotypicals to understand the disorder.
This is the reason Autism is such a strange disorder compared to the rest. High functioning and low functioning Autism are just not a thing. It's a system we made based on how useful a person is for society, not actual psychology, and that's why it sucks for everyone.
