I have just bought one along with a couple of other things. I have also just bought your book but the audio version.

I have already bought and downloaded it. Nothing wrong with plugging a project you have worked on and I'm sure happy for people to listen to.

I have never heard of them before.

As a cis man I can happily say I will never buy or listen in any form to these audiobooks. I have also lost respect for all the actors involved.

Diagnosis with GPs was difficult as they were insistent on only one issue at a time in appointments. It took way longer than needed to be listened to with that.

Thank you, I wish politicians would stop acting like mental illness is an easy thing to understand and then dismiss. Anxiety is not the same as being a little anxious and having a bad day is nothing like depression but it is often framed that way. I also have Fibromyalgia and getting to the point of

In Trump numbers, that is a billion.

I'm in receipt of benefits partly because of my mental health. If I could work, I would work. After getting diagnosed as Autistic getting help via the NHS became even harder. The understanding of what is needed is woeful in primary care and in mental health trusts.

As a cis man, it is all rather bleak how they are reinforcing misogyny and very creepy.

How is that even remotely a controversial opinion to have?

I didn't think to look, but I have changed it now.

I googled her name, and she is a professional bigot, so just don't even begin. I personally have to choose whether I want or need to engage with unproductive drivel like this.

I'm just reading about a covert service to help some students multiple thousands of miles away. If I can read about it, chances are anyone in Chicago can. I don't think the story appeared out of thin air, though, if something needs to be covert, maybe don't tell the media?

I bizarrely saw this at the cinema. All I remember is Ray Winstone was in it.

Yeah, comms, that's the issue, not the fact that they are failing everyone and continue to embrace right-wing nonsense.

I didn't think it was I just wanted to share how it has felt for me.

As a cis autistic person the news hit differently because it connected to me, I have been a long time ally and one of the best people I know happens to be Trans.
Today made me feel like I really don't know how Trans people cope every single day to have utter BS and hate spread and normalised.

As someone who is Autistic, I don't have anything that needs 'curing' either.

Tell that to anyone who is Trans or is friends with a person who is Trans.

Courtesy of ADHD the reply too too long and I think the context of the whole interview shows colleagues shouldn't interview each other but also nuance.

Having listened to the interview that the above article uses, voice control could continue to improve. But it appears to show one of the few positive use cases for AI. Used as a tool to make it easier to use software for whatever reason, so a human can use the software seems positive.

It is solving a problem, just not a problem you have, I have nerve pain in both hands, so just using voice as described would have the potential to be beneficial.

Appearing to run successful campaigns to get power and running campaigns when in power are two very different skillsets.

He says he has been coming in and out of London since 1981. He was born in December 1981 I am two months older than this moron the first time I travelled to London by train I was 5 ish so 1986, I barely remember it. I know it was still British Rail and there was no Wizatd crap at King's Cross.

Elon Musk is a less interesting version of Homer Simpson. Neither could design cars, but Homer tried to be a good dad.

I just checked if I had wishlisted this already (I had), I noticed the Steam relevance system is weird, this game is similar to God of War Ragnarok, it just took a recently played game and ignores nuance just genre tags. I may have had a point when I started this, but ADHD.

Nick Clegg continues to show he is morally and ethically bankrupt.

I just did the wishlist thing on Steam and the app told me it was similar to Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor, I don't play that many games with the Metroidvania tag it would appear.
