Just sent this to someone. Thank you for sharing ❤️

I think that's the understanding of gravity for sizes of an atom and larger, which fall under the theory of relativity. In relativity, gravity is not a force; spacetime is a fabric that is bent by the presence of matter. For things smaller than an atoms, the leading theory is quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics hasn't definitely explained gravity. One of the leading subtheories to quantum mechanics uses a hypothetical particle called a graviton to communicate gravity. No one has been able to unite the two leading theories in physics (relativity and quantum mechanics) with any experimental success. In the meantime, we just treat (a) things smaller than atom and (b) everything larger as two different worlds.

Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder…Oh…yikes

Anyone have a non-paywalled version?

Because Ubuntu sucks! 👎 Here's a list of why:

• Snaps = 👹

• Ads in start menu (they did this before Winblows!)

• Unity is sooo fucking slow and stupid. That dumbass bar of most used apps always present taking up screen space 🙉

• Canonical doesn't give a shit what users want🖕

But the most important part is that I really don't care. I don't use your computer. You do. So use whatever the 🔥hell🔥 you want. Use a version of Winblows 🪟 themed to look like Arch 🤭, wallpaper and all👌, then post screenshots on the Internet about your superiority 💪.

Live how you want! And if someone shames you for it, kick them out of you life 😎

Mint is the shit! The only reason I don't use it is because they don't have a native KDE version. If they ever do, I plan on going right back Mint.

ChromeOS

• install Kubuntu

Or even better, install KDE Neon. Same as Kubuntu, but with less bloat and the latest KDE Plasma.

I've been having such a hard time. I think that I have unknowingly built a life of insisting on environments that aren't good for us, so I haven't had much success. Still, I have found some by staying vigilant for autistic traits. Once I notice them, I try to be near them more often so that there are opportunities to engage. If they come up, I try to engage with something that is autism friendly, like pointing out how loud it is or asking a question that shows I'm trying to thoroughly understand an ongoing topic. Basically, I'm will ask something to try to get any interaction and unveil my 'tism, even if it isn't engaging. If I can't think of anything, I can compliments something of theirs that doesn't follow the standard trend, especially by focusing on a specific detail (e.g. I like the color of your cool glasses; they match well with the hat of the guy on your shirt). My aim is to establish recognition of each other in case more opportunities come up in the future. It's slow, but seems to be working. A major limitation that I have experienced with these environments is that they don't really leave us with much time to engage each other in autistically meaningful ways (i.e. deep conversations). In the rare cases that they do, we might have already expended our executive functioning fuel on sensory stimuli, navigating the social scene, or whatever else we've had to endure.

The other avenue I'm trying is something I've been learning recently. I would like to get into autistocratic (made that term up right now, thank you very much) environments, but it's been hard for me to get my foot in the door because I would have to break the door to put my foot in it (jk! lol 👉😉👉). But seriously, I have difficulty going to new places by myself and starting conversations with people. I end up coming off a bit odd to others. Anyway, I found a group for autistic adults through a local organization that provides services for autistic people. I've only met with them twice, once virtual and the other in-person. It's been pretty nice so far, so we'll see where it goes. Maybe that will lead to other autistocratic spaces, either through recommendation or invitation. I'm hoping that I will eventually find a space or group with lots of us so that I can have many opportunities and diversify my social network rather than depend on just a few people or groups so that I'm more socially adaptive and stable.

Fyi, this instance has a Matrix chat room that is pretty active. Maybe it will help to join and engage with users there. Relevantly, your question is a common topic in there. Seems like many of us have trouble finding each other in-person. Here is the link to the chat room.

5 things you can see! 4 things you can hear!...lol

That's basically what the Trump Administration did, tho they were voted out. When Trump was complaining about the Biden economy during that talking point ad disguised as a debate, I kept getting frustrated that Harris didn't say they were cleaning up his mess...in retrospect, I imagine that she wanted to distinguish herself from Trump's repeated that wasn't me that was you strategy.

• Trump used all the financial emergency tools when the economy was good. He lowered taxes and interest rates. This supercharged the economy, but left us vulnerable to normal market dangers since we had nothing stable and reliable left in the event of an unforeseen contraction. Despite economists objecting and even resigning in protest, he still pushed it through because the general population doesn't understand how the economy works. All they would see are Trump POTUS = good economy.

• Obama left us with a pandemic response team to stay ahead of any possible pandemics at the advice of leading scientists. Trump disbanded the entire thing for no objective reason, just power, control, and hate. Then, COVID happened.

• The COVID pandemic alone saw the worse market sell-off since the Great Depression. We were hitting multiple circuit breakers per week to stop a complete market sell-off. It was so bad, that just owning futures of oil was literally a loss because you had to pay to store it since no one was buying. People went bankrupt from one day to the next for merely owning oil.

• The money printer go brrrrr meme happened under his admin to prevent the economy from spiraling out of control. GAS GAS GAS!! The underlying joke was that they kept saying that inflation wasn't going to suffer the largest creation of currency in the country's history. It was straight lies because how is an immense injection of trillions of dollars with no remarkable increase in production of goods not going to cause inflation? It's impossible.

• The low-ass interest rates with a halted economy left very few places to invest money, so that went into the stock market and corporations buying houses. Interest rates were lower than stock market returns, especially since the government showed it would intervene, so wealth was flowing from one to the other creating absolutely no tangible value yet accumulating wealth for the people that could afford it. It was basically a relative wealth robbery of the middle class right out in the open.

• To solve the inflation crisis, Biden had to jack up interest rates. Now, no one wants to sell their house to get into a new loan with double the interest rate, which is exacerbating the housing shortage. Meanwhile, house insurance is skyrocketing due to climate change and the government hasn't done ahit about it.

I don't think anyone could get away with effectively hurting the economy worse than Trump did. Someone or the general population would've intervened.

These blatant lies are ridiculous. Seriously, from the economy to pointless rally attendance numbers, everything those people say is the opposite of truth. Whatever they blame on someone else is what they did. Whatever they claim they did is what someone else did. It's like living in a crazy opposite land. Freaking, they stole the playbook right out from George Orwell. ughh!!

edit: typos and word choices

I loved the 3-button navigation because there are rarely any errors with navigation. The taps are too different from each other to get confused compared to the gestures. The thing I like about the gesture bar is that it makes 1-handed use possible for me, so I'm stuck with the gestures. But at least 3 times a day, I accidentally signal the back gesture when I only meant to swipe left to right. Soo frustrating. I'm getting good at self-soothing tho 😎

American here. I have never paid rent in cash to a landlord I had a lease with. Only times I have paid in cash was when I was either living with a friend or giving a roommate my part of the rent. It's possible some people pay in cash, but I would say it is not common.
