What's funny is that this could only help if just one or two people use it in a given meeting. But if 4/6 people were to use it, then most of the meeting's purpose is gone, and the notes are about nothing.

I feel like these LLM transcription summaries are better for quick reviewing of info.

The real dream is that when a boss has a long shpeil to dump on everyone, they could just ramble on to a conference room of bots and then it turns their whole "talk" into the paragraph email it should have been.

Try watching Righteous Gemstones on HBO.

I avoided it forever because I thought it'd be "about" Christianity, but it's just an excellent absurdist comedy that takes place in a fictional megachurch.

They have a mix of real and fictionalized Christian music and it was honestly really fun to see levity brought to that world without it being some over-cooked anti-religion angle.

Keeps them from masturbating, allows them to transmute their sexual energy into raw power when not actively engaging in sex.

To be fair, that list would be a sick D&D campaign

As a person with ADHD, I totally hear you.

You're right that in a different world, built for any particular neurodivergence, the balance of challenges would be different.

For me though, I've learned to acknowledge that no fictional world-building could make me better at remembering names, faces, birthdays, the stories I've already told someone, or keep me from burning out my interest in new passions.

At the end of the day, despite people thinking I'm "smart" and getting along well with others, I'm constantly exhausted by the additional effort it takes and nobody sees the excessive downtime it takes for me to recharge.

I always think of GATTACA and how in a world of genetically modified rich people, a man has to hustle hard to blend in. It's a constant effort 24/7 just to create the illusion that I'm operating the same as everyone else.

The other thing is that most of the socioeconomic changes that would benefit me, would also benefit everyone else. Which is good, but means the balance would not be dramatically changed.

I've realized my internal discomfort with acknowledging my condition as a disability, stems from believing a disability makes me lesser. What has alleviated that discomfort is realizing that's not how people see each other in real life (in general).

My sense of being lesser, of unfair struggle, comes from capitalism exclusively valuing persons/things that best grow the wealth if those with capital.

I'm not lesser because I'm a bad person, or a stupid person. I FEEL lesser because the world I live in let's people die when they can't afford a hospital visit, and only values human life to the extent that it makes rich people richer.

It doesn't even matter if you bring greater value to the world with your art, if capitalists can't monetize it for themselves.

As capitalism's stranglehold tightens on everybody exponentially, the rest of the world is starting to get a taste if disenfranchisement for themselves. As more people recognize the root of so many problems, people will continue pushing for more radical change.

We might not live to see the best outcome of this fight, but know that you aren't fighting you struggles alone and your obstacles aren't your fault.

Yes, no contest.

I fucking hate Tom Cruise, he's a suppressive person. WHERE'S SHELLY!?!?

I would never watch a movie with him in it, but getting him to do a role as an ugly Hollywood scumbag that thinks he's god is amazing.

I'd also normally never watch a movie with blackface, but Tropic Thunder managed to use the worst of Hollywood to effectively shit on all of it and it will always be perfect for that.

I've only done a little time as a DM, but myself and all of my players were diversly nuerodivergent.

Some of them just did not have a performative bone in their body and I considered making or buying some kind of button that simply lights up while holding it down, as a visual indicator that they're speaking as their character.

Probably not for everyone, but seemed helpful to a couple of people.

I'm fine with smaller wheels, but as a Prius owner, I'm tired of my car being SO low to the ground. I can't park in my own shitty driveway because my car eats shit on the curb of it no matter my angle of approach.

Bad example. Those desks are shit for everybody.
