No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

As someone who's also neuro-diverse, we're all a little off-putting. We know we look/sound a bit off and it's a bit uncanny for some people. People will attach all kinds of meaning to anything they can visibly identify as different. As a mildly autistic ginger atheist I feel like "Soulless" gets thrown around way too freely, but I feel it's important to keep in mind there are much worse flavours of bigotry out there. Still it's important to point out that just because Zuck is awful doesn't mean it's ok to hate robot-people.
Eh there's autism uncanny valley and then there's the uncanny valley of this waxy skinned freak.
That isn't a normal skin texture, and I've never seen an image of him not looking waxy.
I don't think everyone who's neurodiverse is a little off putting, tbh.
We could say that it's not that he's on the spectrum. It's that he is while also being evil, so it's mixed with something else that's anti social and unfortunate. I don't know how much of it is by choice. He was a bad person even before becoming ultra rich. Insert "dumb fucks" quote here.
Me neither, in fact, I actually prefer them over neurotypicals, but I can definitely see how the general population might not agree.
I mean it's a spectrum of course, as all these things are. No two neurodiverse people are neurodiverse in exactly the same way, we fit broad tendencies. But in most cases people can tell, especially if they understand the broad gist of the various spectra. Most of us wear behavioral masks to get through the day but they're rarely perfect. Sometimes those of us on a spectrum are better at spotting it in each other than typicals, because we're working overtime to try to notice and process subtle signals but it's always there to varying degrees. When our masks slip, people tend to look at us like we grew a second head or something equally bizarre. Some people describe it as feeling alien, or fey-touched, or any one of a billion euphemisms and analogies across time and place.
It is what it is, same as it's always been.
No, I know what he means. There's a certain too-much-ness, a weird stiffness around me and other neurodiverse - you wouldn't notice it on a good day but it's certainly annoying for others. I'm not really capable of normal social interaction in groups at all (groups = more than 1 people present), and I might fake it for a while but it becomes clear after a few interactions.
I feel like people give a little more grace to the uncanny if they are at least perceived as benevolent.
Mr. Zuckerberg doesn't get this benefit.
