Maybe Trump’s plan to get Mexico to pay for the wall is to make America so shitty that they want a wall to keep Americans out. XD

How does Discord cause the issue?

Sounds like the people you hang out with on discord are poor company.

Discord does an excellent job of facilitating connections between people. If you dislike it because of the people you connect with, that’s not a Discord issue, that’s a people issue.

The Discord experience very much depends on the people on the server that you’re on. Any medium is just enabling connections, though. The connections themselves are what matter.

From my experience, you need to find a relatively small/niche group for deep connections to form. I’ve found several communities like that. Although, I think my experience is heavily influenced by me being neurodivergent, and finding groups of other neurodivergent people that I get along with. Like, finding groups of nerds who share the same special interests.

I’m autistic as well, although I was not diagnosed with it as a kid (they only diagnosed me with a “learning disability” rather than the complicated soup of neurodivergences I have).

I’ve been lucky to not have to mask much in my life (although I do some, for sure). It’s a tragedy that most autistic kids are treated worse than I was. I think they all deserve better.

I’m all in favor of shitting on UHC, but ABA for autism is rather problematic, so they’re actually on the same page as the autism community on this one.

EDIT: For those unfamiliar with it, it’s basically the autism equivalent of gay conversion therapy, trying to convert autistic children to neurotypical behavior. It’s not good for the autistic person’s own mental health.
