Yes, im aware of those ways. I remember reading that there was a replacement that was specifically emulating the look and feel of Google TV, but simpler and better. You could install it on Chromecast etc.

Is there an open-source version of Google TV and similar smart TV software? I feel like i read about one quite recently.

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.

Okay everybody, im done with the proudest moment of my life now. Someone please wake him up.

"Neurodivergent" is the latest umbrella term for people to use when lying about themselves. Its too broad a term. It can apply to most people in some shape or form. It's very easy to claim you are neurodivergent but that says very little about anything, including behavior.

It's become the latest fad diagnosis - fibromyalgia, being allergic to smoke, and synestheisa. Look for something that nobody can prove you don't have, and claim it as your own.

For useful discussion, you need to filter the term further. In this thread, there are people describing autism, personality disorders, etc. They are not all the same thing.

The original question was not "what bad thing are Americans guilty of?"

The people who worship it are also the people who screwed it all up. It's like a failed experiment that needs to be reset. The freedom that everyone speaks of is mostly just one person's way of taking freedom from another.

I wish I still had mine. 3D monster maze, 1k chess, nightgunner, gulpman.

My neighbor had a zx80. I remember playing a game on that too, but i don't remember what it was.

Well where I'm from its just what it's called. Most people would know what it is. I'm actually English and we call it A&E for Accident and Emergency, or Casualty. That's what I would have called it if I still lived there because that's what everyone there is used to. What you're basically asking for is for me to translate for you. Well, like I said, I'm English and live in the states. You think everyone thinks to translate American english for me? Use google. Its pretty clear I'm don't work in an erectile disfunction - unless that's a euphemism for America.

Well no reason other than that's what it's called here. Most people where I live would know what I'm talking about. I can't be responsible for all people who don't understand me. Im going to use the language that is commonly used where I live aren't I? It's not a room it's a department.

Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm lemmy welcome to FRAYED PICKLES whistles, whoops, cheers, applause

Emergency Department. Its a Level One Trauma center, so down time is not predictable.

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".

Just cut to the chase and invade Poland already you giant twat.

Uh huh

Yeah you did

I can refute them, but unfortunately you were already being insulting.

The problem of acid attacks is just that. A problem. One that people are actively trying to fix. Nobody thinks acid should not be regulated. Only the weirdest kind of psycho collects different vials of acid based on their ability to stop humans.

The number of acid attack deaths, even in the worst affected countries, are insignificant vs the number of deaths caused by gun crime and gun suicide. Never the less, I still think it's an issue that needs regulation.

I do not think acid should be banned. I do not think guns should be banned. So you can throw away those arguments as far as I'm concerned. In your terms, you knocked down the straw man. I'm bored of arguments revolving around logical fallacies. They make me cringe because they remind me of myself in my 20s. Over 30 years ago now. It doesn't interest me to try to outlogic people.

Anyway, where we we? I believe we've covered a few mistakes with logic, but I'm happy to point out some more...

If there are plenty of other ways for people to hurt other people, and the other ways are so convenient, why are you so worried about not having a gun - simply use the other things to protect your family? Silly idea? Why?

The fact is, guns are used for few useful purposes that don't involve hurting things. Either you're target shooting, doing Robert Deniro impersonations in front of the mirror, or maiming and killing things.

Giving sources of incidences where gun control procedures fail is not helping me believe in your critical thinking skills. Why? Because there isn't just one path to take. There isn't just one way to try and lower the number of injuries and deaths. You don't just give up trying to cure illnesses because one method didn't work.

You tell me I don't know anything. You tell me I don't use logic. You call me "you people" and attack points i haven't made. You have basically not demonstrated any logical thinking skills at all. You haven't made a single valid point.

Meanwhile my days are filled with all kinds of experiences related to gun crime. A baby was shot through because he was being held by the target grandmother. Police obliterating people's limbs because they want the biggest harm possible in their firearms, people still alive with missing faces, amputation both traumatic and because of infections. Kids with one eye missing who were out shopping with their parents 30 minutes ago . Crowds of weeping family members on the street outside the ED. Gang members pushing past security to try and finish off the murder they started. Wounds that you can see through. Threats of gun violence towards me and my coworkers.

All I want is for this to happen less. You don't. By your actions and your stance, you want it to either stay the same or get worse. Not only that, you want it for other countries too.

Approaching mental health issues is a valid path. Nobody argues against that. You have a responsibility to do more.

You vastly overestimate your own skills in that department, acid man.

Only insults then? Ok.
