  • Religion is more powerful in countries with low education standards.

    With the US government actively dismantling its education system, this is part of that bigger picture of wanting a dumber population so they're more easily controlled - through fear.

    A shame to see America go so regressive so quickly.

  • So it's not going to be available in the EU and UK? That's fine.

    As I understand it, the GDPR would require explicit consent from the subject before this data could be gathered in the first place, with some significant fines if breached.

  • Same here in the UK.

    Maximum target waiting time is 13 weeks - AFTER you get a referral from a GP - and not all of those are willing to refer adults who are high functioning because they see it as taking a rare resource away from those more in need.

    But even with that referral, 84% of people are waiting longer.

    Private is possible, and 3-4 weeks, but that costs around £4,000.

    Without a professional diagnosis, you won't qualify for any assistance, either from the state or your workplace.

    (I self diagnosed as autisitic in my 50s, after a childhood diagnosis of dyslexic. I now think was a misdiagnosis of autism.)

  • As always, what's not said is often more telling that what is.

    He values women so little that he doesn't even consider their contribution worthwhile enough to mention. It's fine for them to waste their time playing games all day. (Or he doesn't think women don't play games, which is just as poor)

  • It's technically impossible, so a pretty pointless discussion.

    And it's dangerous too. Even if they legislated them off the major platforms, there's a million other ways to communicate online. Hundreds of DMs, talkers, games, live chats, streams, even IRC still exists. And pushing them into the darker corners makes it far more likely for them to be exposed to coercive and controlling types. Extremism, child abuse, bullying, suicide encouragement and so on.

  • Graveyards don't exist for the dead.

    They exist for both relatives to mourn, and the wider populace who value the perspective on their own problems that graveyards provide. They're also normally a peaceful place in an often unpeaceful world, much as urban green spaces.

  • I think you're reading too much into that.

    They're either under "Rest of world" like the EU, or the US doesn't import anything from it, which as it's under sanctions, it shouldn't - nor export to.
