People who complain or joke about "distractions" from writing worry me. If you lack the self-discipline to abstain from browsing the web for one hour while you type in a book page, you have a problem.
Remember when people used to think the robot police dogs in Fahrenheit 451 were kinda dumb? https://titleknown.tumblr.com/post/644239939529244672/no-disrespect-to-op-but-it-says-a-lot-about
There's a reason racists invariably seem to be misogynists as well. And homophobes. Those are all variations on seeing others as less than human.

@eli_oat I just checked my website stats. Thank you very much for the link! And did you put it on HN as well, by any chance? Because I got a ton of referrals from there.
Things I wish someone would have taught me when I started #writing: you can't say deep things on purpose.
"It is completely impossible for any history to be apolitical given that history is written by human beings." https://going-medieval.com/2021/02/16/on-history-versus-chronicles/
@CorvusRobotica Oh! Oh! I know what might help. Take a look at https://shifti.org/ because a lot of what people put there is a metaphor.
I probably asked this before, but does anyone else find it ironic that the MobileRead.com website isn't mobile friendly?
Nice movie otherwise, by the way. Well worth watching. It could almost have been made in 1980, cheap special effects and all. (Which by the way are so good it might be made to look cheap on purpose.)
So, I just saw The Adventures of Rufus the Fantastic Pet (2020), and something jumped at me: the ham-fisted environmental message aimed at the teenage protagonists. Which reminded me that three decades ago Captain Planet was *also* being all moralistic at teens... but it wasn't *them* soiling the planet.

People really hate it when actions have consequences, don't they?
Thankfully they let me close the account with one click, but seriously?! This is why online #privacy is a big deal.
Just discovered I somehow had an account on IntenseDebate, that I don't remember making, and definitely never used. It seemed to be connected to my WordPress account somehow? Or else it was auto-created when I commented on a site that used the service. Once. Scary, huh?

I really need to know this, so please boost for visibility:
Are there any people out there on the autistic spectrum that have found a format of living that works for them, that makes them happy?
If you're on the spectrum and feel generally happy or content: do you have a routine, specific coping mechanism(s) or special life conditions that you recommend or feel privileged with? Did you feel happier after excluding some particular element of stress in some way?
If you're on the spectrum and feel generally unhappy: do you think there could be a happy existence for you if society enabled it?
If you ever wanted to make a website but felt intimidated by HTML or big complex web apps, try https://HotGlue.me/ 'cause it's something else entirely.
