Cyberpunk dystopia, but without the cool ass shit, just a lot of ways to die horribly.

IIRC it was disabilities that resulted in institutionalizing. I mean, sure, your depression could be so bad it makes you suicidal - but the Nazis didn’t exactly have a problem with you killing yourself.

It was people with intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and disruptive mental disorders. Down Syndrome, Fragile x, quadriplegics, cystic fibrosis, schizophrenia, severe ASD, etc. Almost always things that have obvious changes to “normal” behavior, intellect, and appearance.

However, I will say the modern day list of disability has grown, and I would strongly suspect that if the Nazis of Germany could get their hands on modner medical records and purge far more things, they would not have hesitated to do so.

It’s a common topic that comes up around DST/ends. And whenever people complain about early or late meetings at work.

I mean I can give you the charts that show the split happens right around the time Nixon ends the gold Standard in 1971.

Yes, that Nixon.

I really need you and everyone else to know that the gold Standard was holding down inflation. The massive wealth disparities we see now are because of the US dollar becoming fiat.

The quicker we return to a standard of any kind the quicker things go back to normal.

This is not their intent. They want ownership of property, not gold. Property is the only thing in true demand. And only the wealthy can afford it.

Did I have that conversation with you?

If not, there are dozens of us against timezones!

Ah, yes, the holy Trinity.

The only thing that made less sense than a virgin birth or resurrection.

It still doesn’t make sense. Like from a narrative view either. It doesn’t help the story, or the belief it’s just a useless… Thing?

I guess that’s my point. I agree with you. ASD make up a large portion of ND. I don’t personally like the ND identity even with an ADHD diagnosis (and have quite obvious symptoms when off my meds).

The reason I don’t like it is because if you use it as an identity, suddenly my experience needs to be accepted by everyone. I need the medicine to function in this society. To appear as a functioning adult. If I just said to people “Im neurodivergent” and expect them to handle my lengthy train of thought and wild imagination I would probably not have a job.

It isn’t race, ethnicity, a sexuality or gender - that is an identity that affects no one regardless of occupation or status except the individual. Neurodivergent disorders affect you, your family, your friends, your employer, your customers, your classmates, etc.
