Please do.

People used to go outside their houses and shake hands or even hug. Any storage media they had in their pockets could infect each other in this type of close contact.

Goodness there is so much wrong with this, where do I start.

What is that name? It means nothing to me. If you’re trying to reach a predominantly English-speaking audience, that is not the name to do it.

You need an About page, at least. I’m not signing up for whatever this is but I’m doubly not signing up on a page that gives me no information whatsoever. Also, do you want to do business in the EU? Because that’s another can of worms.

Why do I want these “Poins”?

Edit: oh gawd the image you posted is AI generated are you a troll?

AND you fail to properly link. Brilliant.

And you announce this as a shitpost, nice, 5/7 perfect score no notes.

The mention of “Robux” implies I’m too old to understand.

The “American” one would suggest “an autistic”, rather than “an autist”, no? He is American, he is an American.

This may be an issue with English not differentiating precisely between most nouns and adjectives relating to countries. In my head “an American” is clearly a noun but that might be me. Better examples might be “a New Yorker” or “a Londoner”.

I’ve said repeatedly that this isn’t a settled debate within the autism community, and at no point have I suggested that other people aren’t free to use whatever terms they want

You did say you don’t want to accept a term just because it’s popular and I was agreeing to that. The fact that we’re talking about this seemed to suggest to me that you felt at least some pressure to conform to what everybody else is saying.

I understand that. I’m specifically talking about the English word “autist”. Ich rede nicht über Deutsch.

And I was drawing parallels between two very closely related languages of two closely related cultures. The words “autist” and “Autist/Autistin” are obviously related so it’s interesting to see if there’s differences in how they’re used and what they are.

I suppose that asks the question why is “autistic” one of (if not the) only example with a dedicated noun?

Language is under no obligation to be consistent and logical. Speakers of English for some reason didn’t see need for dedicated nouns here and they dropped out of use (or never developed in the first place). Why English doesn’t have a word for “doch” is beyond me but here we are. English also doesn’t have dedicated nouns for “person from [country]”, as we established above. Does that mean anything profound in particular? To my mind it suggests simply that English somehow tends to prefer adjectives.

“This is an American.”

You don’t need to accept a term you don’t like for yourself but others may not mind.

Btw, autistic brains exist outside the UK and the US. In German, it’s becoming more common to say “Menschen mit Autismus” (people with autism) but I suspect that’s actually more to do with an effort to de-gender because constructions like “Autistinnen und Autisten” (female autists and male autists) are clunky.

Also, your “blindist” and “deafist” don’t exist in English which is why they sound weird, they do exist in German.

Understandable, have a nice day.

What happened here?

Yes but is that worth the utter and complete agony of stopping what you’re doing and then starting again 10 minutes later? /s

You try having ADHD and going 24 hours without food.

That is literally so easy, I regularly do it by accident because I hyperfocus on some nonsense.

Much obliged.

Say it louder for the people in the back.

Hallow was founded by Alex Jones,

Goddammit.

Alex Jones, who grew up as a Catholic, lost his faith as a teenager. With the use of meditation, Jones chose to revert to Catholicism and made the decision to create a platform to assist others in a similar situation.

Me when I realise there’s money in them there Catholics.
