the heat doesn't require you to go outside and do work, the mornings are also dramatically cooler. if they were to head out for a walk at 1700 it would be dangerous, but unlike shoveling snow it is optional

it always felt a bit more reactionary to me. a lot of people feel like they were unjustly treated, and the label helps them feel better about that stuff. normally i have seen an adult with a fresh diagnosis go really hard in to that identity, only to realize they over did it and land in a more neutral space.

as someone who has a bunch of adult friends getting autism or add/adhd diagnosed, there is an immediate phase of “all of my problems are caused by this”, followed by “how do i cope with this”, and finally “this is just helpful context for me”.

there are quite a few that get stuck on one of those phases, but largely most people loop back around to a more reasonable view.

yeah it is invalid html, and probably done for the ui only. now people are just copying it. would totally break if the button anchor was in a form

your points are all fair and valid, and i can see how mine was missed.

i am attempting to say:

the way you give feedback is highly correlated with it landing.

your “mean” feedback is not, it speaks to why and does not just dismiss the author or try to trivialize a number. it provides clear links to issues, not just attacking the intelligence of the poster. you make a series of great points, reinforced by others feelings and examples of real world issues.

this feedback can be turned into something useful, allows reflection, and does not attack the authors entire reason to be here.

the original dude literally says:

1. 800 users is shit 2. your app had no effect 3. you dont even know how to choose a goal

you must be able to see this difference?

is asshole a diagnosis?

i can appreciate how hard you worked on this, it is an achievement in aggrandizing to provide this feedback.

i hope your friends and family truly appreciate the perfection of your worldview, and can move fully to your simple answers

i love how he hides from being an asshole via calling his behavior “constructive ideas”. imagine being a child raised with this cognitive dissonance.

“if i do not think i am mean i can not be mean” is fundamentally the go to for bullies, this person included

“constructive ideas” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here in ignoring your lack of empathy. i am always amazed by the people that provide “constructive ideas”, and then fail to take any “constructive ideas” from others.

you are failing in the same way as the original author by your own metric

there is not a default band, you get both. quest pro is 700+ grams, so the AVP is lighter than its competitor

i think what people memorize has been made optional, but that people still memorize a lot. sure not phone mumbers, but the amount of lore they can recite from some fandom seems to be of similar depth

i think it plays into the whole “men are scared of smart women” trope

fwiw:

my work is moving from supermicro to dell nodes due to the immaturity of the support (interface and personnel).
