Rebirth!

Communication! You and your partner need to have better communication between you. Without a good communication, your partner doesn't know your needs. The opposite is also true.

There is a misconception about rest time and autism. It doesn't mean doing nothing or laying on the coach/bed. It's often doing an energizing activity. I can't give any clue here as the activity is personal and change from one to another. I can only speak for myself with trainspotting, walking in the nature, reading research papers…

It's important to sit down and communicate about the needs of both with the partner. It makes things clear and people around us will understand why we are doing it. It's also respecting the needs of both.

N.B: Now, communicating and respecting our needs is good. But, we can't make up needs at one point to excuse ourselves. I see way too many autistics that have suddenly a new need to excuse being an assh*le. This isn't fine.

Spicy death!

Maybe too soon.

Depending on the research subject, people built networks on Twitter. It's hard to move on another platform as you will loose your network.

We can talk about the massive subsidies the US government did and do to the automakers. The propaganda paid with tax money to have a centered car environment.

Each country subsidies its automaker but doesn't want the other to do so because "Free market™". It's at best hypocrite.

I hope I won't be too long on the topic. This is an historical question.

Why it's like this, why are NTs deciding for us? It began in the Renaissance period with René Descartes. He was a philosophe and saw the human body as a machine. He wrote about this vision of the human. Each organ, muscle, bones are a piece of the machine. He did a direct comparison between the human and the material.

Later in the first half of the 19th century, an astronomer, and statistician had the idea to use statistics for human. Prior, statistic were in majority an instrument used for astronomy. Adolphe Quételet studied Scottish soldiers to make statistics of the human. He went further and did not only statistics on the body. He did statistics about injuries, body, and a lot more. With all of this, Quételet invented the average person. Without statistics, you can't have an average person. This idea is important for the following. It's also the key idea at the beginning of eugenic.

Someone was very interested in this topic. At the point, he coined the word “eugenic” itself. Francis Galton was the half-cousin of Charles Darwin. He came from a wealthy family and really like the work of his half-cousin on evolution. But, Galton wanted to apply it to society. He was also inspired by the concept of the average person of Quételet. Galton diverges of both of his predecessors. For Galton, the average person was not the person in the middle. No, it was the person at the bottom. There is a shift down compared to Quételet.

The poorer, the people without education, disabled, slaves, race shouldn't be considered with Galton. There were just this average for the one able to work and earn what they need to survive. The others were not even at the bottom of the social ladder.

People with education, wealthy people, were of course at the top of this ladder. Galton also believed in birth control based on the assumption of the categorization of the human. Wealthy should reproduce as their genetic was better.

On this base, Galton developed a lot of theories that we still use nowadays, and in particular in psychology and psychiatry. But, his ideas in pathology survived.

More general, some of his ideas and theories are still around. Eugenic was very popular at the beginning of the 20th century – Galton began his work at the second half of the 19th century. People founded during this time eugenic society, university cursus, etc.

With WWII, eugenic fall in disgrace. People working in the field made a shift in their career. They went to psychology, psychiatry, philosophy, sociology, anthropology…

In the 50s and later in the 60s and 70s, a new movement emerged with anti-psychiatry. In this ideology, you will find many points of view. They had and have in common that we should not intern people that aren't the average person, in other words the norm. Yes, the average person of Galton became a norm. If people are disabled, they don't produce anything and aren't included in the norm. They interned these unproductive people. Some went against it.

But, in one side of anti-psychiatry, you had people who think that people with psyachiatric issues were faking it. The idea is that people are lazy and invented their illness, condition, difference to do nothing. These people in anti-psychiatry wanted to close the asylums, so people will have to work. Spoiler alert: It didn't work, and people ended on the street or in jail.

But, all these people thinking people were lazy were in the normal at least. This scheme continued to today, and we end with NTs in charge of deciding...

I can only recommend the read of the book “Empire of Normality; Neurodiversity and Capitalism”, by Robert Chapman.

The issue with technosolutionism is that it can't fit the necessary parameters to address climate change. We already know we can't go further with infinite growth. It's not possible to tackle climate change. We need degrowth. Without it, it's impossible.

The problem is that our economy is based on growth, and this growth will generate the new tech. If you're for state developed and owned technologies, you have to change the political dogma et system first.

Addressing the climate crisis is a change in the politic and in the economic system. Without both of them, it will continue.

The screenshots helped. I have Sync for Reddit installed on my phone, and the app opens Firefox without asking which browser I want to use. I don't have a default browser and uninstalled Chrome.

This behavior with your screenshots made me think about hard coded method to call Chrome custom tab. It can also be how Android handles browsers.

I thought about in the Android settings:

Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Browser app

But, Sync could directly call the Chrome package name (hard coded), which would be a d*ck move and shit design.

Normally, Android uses as "Custom tab" the default browser in the Android Settings.

Default browser in Android, not Sync.

When you brainwashed for generations, you end with brainwashed in politics. This is just the beginning.
