neurodiverse
What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

I've seen people die in person, like getting stabbed and it felt bad. Fun fact about me I was present at the 2019 London bridge stabbing, the one where the assailant was subdued with a fire extinguisher and a narwhal horn and two people died. Yeah it felt bad to be in that situation and see that, because they seemed like normal people who probably didn't deserve it.
I'm probably evil though because when I saw Kirk get ventilated I just laugh. The gore part didn't bother me, maybe I'm numb to it? Like I've also seen the one where Budd Dwyer shoots himself. I had a misspent youth on the internet so I've seen beheadings and stuff, I don't know.
I feel nothing other than joy that he's gone. He deserves it. I keep getting told this is a disgusting and disturbing opinion to have. Ok then is most of society disgusting then? Because we seem to tolerate the deaths of untold scores of poor people, Palestinians, trans people etc. But Charlie Dipshit gets put on a pedestal because he's a nice Christian white boy I guess. Fuck this country
Exactly. The outrage is selective
I laughed too and still do thinking about it.
You know the answer to this. Humanity has been degraded and debased by capitalism to the point where we can see the symptoms in ourselves if we are aware.
