it's frustrating to see rules on technology being decided by people not qualified in the field.

then, i stop and think about it further.

i realise that these same donkeys also legislate on healthcare, energy, water, education, ~police,~ ~transport,~ ~environment,~ ~ᶜᵘˡᵗᵘʳᵉ~ ~ⁱⁿᶠʳᵃˢᵗʳᵘᶜᵗᵘʳᵉ~ ~ˢᵖᵒʳᵗˢ~ ~ᵉᵗᶜ...~

...business owners and politicians in other countries are not compelled to help you make your policy work.

this is the take-home line from this article. i wish my family would understand this. i tried explaining to them once that it's not the EU's job to give us free work visas anymore. no luck though, lol

from the tinder algorithm's perspective, it "wants" to select for babies that will grow up and use the app when they are older too

the implication of this, is that algorithms now have actual influence on the natural selection of humans. small influence of course, but, unsettling to think about for too long.

welcome to the club ❤️

here's a welcome gift: consider that every bit of advice that you have ever been given in your life, has been given to you in the belief that you are ""normal"" (read: NT, like them), and because most of that advice is not tuned for your autistic brain, most of it is complete trash 😀👍

consider this example: has anyone ever told you to "just read their body language"?

i think you're mostly right. our country did not commit properly to the EU project. we were constantly looking for opt-outs and excuses.

in the UK's defense for not joining at the start, we were vetoed twice by Charles De Gaulle. i wonder what the timeline would have looked like, had this not happened. 🙁

i dont think the UK should be let back in to the EU any time soon, but would you consider a longer term, distant future where the UK, or more likely it's component countries, are admitted back into the EU? certainly on terms that require full integration, with absolutely no opt-outs? what is your take on that?

i ask because i'm looking to escape to the EU myself at some point, but it would be disheartening to see if people there don't like us solely because of our government being stupid enough to hold a referendum for a political gamble.
