Diligent Dilettante

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Why does Tesla keep making new ways to make cars and then throwing them away to make newer ways to make cars? “Almost everything is new” … Why? Most companies learn from previous manufacturing projects

You're absolutely right, Dave, the bay doors should have never been closed.

This is on me - I didn't realize that you needed them to live. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

Is there anything else that I can assist you with?

Just say the word.

Wait, there are no rich people in Europe, Canada, or the UK?

Every car makes a face and this one is 😬

As Archimedes once said, "Give me a place to stand, and I could move your mum"

Now we just need a tanker full of vegetable oil

Pedialyte is delicious and a great way to replenish electrolytes but it has the same problem that Trix cereal has: it is illegal for adults to consume

At this point I’d believe the biggest cost of starlink is having to deal with Elon

A tip for living a comfortable life: don’t get a horrible GI illness for 6 days

“So we have these accessible vermiform worlds, but we have the question of whether your identity persists… Honey are you listening?”

I've never really had one of those "would you still love me if I were a worm" gfs, which is a shame because I think I could deliver a great lecture on modal logic in response

I am always happy to share a healthy serving of unhelpful pedantry. Any time!

Very sad 😢

I think the well-being of everyone is a shared responsibility. I call it “society”

I’m hostile to the idea that “culture fit” is anything but dressed-up discrimination, and your suggestion that it’s entirely the responsibility of job-seekers to find non-discriminatory companies is defeatist. But I’m not hostile to you. It’s very common for people to misread tone of autistic people

I don’t see why you feel the need to post your Ls like this. I CAN and DO improve how my company builds an inclusive and collaborative environment - I’m a leader of our Employee Resource Group for neurodivergent employees. I make positive changes every day AT WORK.

Minnesotans: “You think cold is your ally? You merely adopted the cold; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t feel heat until I was already a man and by then it was nothing to me but scalding!”

Some day your posts may be quite important documentation for the EEOC. Don’t delete them, thats destroying evidence

That’s not what you proposed in the original thread - and no, I wouldn’t be happy working at a toxic environment. But it’s fantastic you have found a way to blame the marginalized for their marginalization, good job. Why am I responsible for avoiding places that discriminate?

Your ideas are becoming mushier the more you try to explain them. Eventually they will be entirely vacuous. You’ve moved from “culture fit is good and we should use it as the primary criteria” to “culture fit is neutral and we should consider it”. How much spine do you have left?

Also “I don’t have a solution just making an observation” is motte-and-bailey. You are suggesting in this thread that your strategy works, you’re framing it as a solution, then you’re backing up to “oh it’s just an observation” - no, observations have data. This is speculation

You are going to want someone with actual knowledge to define what the hell you mean by culture; good luck finding them. You’re proposing using the means by which people are excluded without accountability via “culture” to try and create an inclusive “culture” and that’s literally contradictory

You are right though, that is a recipe for an environment hostile to highly skilled workers like me and ironically I do support you enforcing “culture fit” in the hiring process because it makes it less likely someone like me has to endure your “culture” and work in a toxic environment

So… your solution to that is to enforce culture harder so it gets reprehensible faster?

Homeomorphic, not equivalent. And if you have ear piercings you are not homeomorphic to other humans.

Usually the defense is “I don’t mean culturally and socially neurotypical, I just mean acceptance and diversity” but that doesn’t stop this sort of policy from harming the neurodivergent. And it’s wonderfully vague so you can justify any hiring decisions based on “culture” without accountability

Not often I see takes this bad, but when I do they’re ableist AF

Hold me now
I’m six feet from the edge and I’m thinking
“Maybe sqrt(72) feet ain’t so far along the hypotenuse, considering I’m also six feet from the bottom”

That’s basically a moderately tall retaining wall. Scott Stapp was getting way too anxious about his position relative to landscaping
