Was Canadian, its owned by a Japanese company since 2010

OCRemix.Org already does this with their music, so its possible.

I’ll note that a number of groups and forums send mailing list like emails (google groups, django dev being a big one) and that notifications can be threaded from places like Github with the right client.

Thunderbird has good threading.

Roundcube webmail is also capable here. Though when I have had it working it didn’t include sent messages… which is not great in my mind.

Thunderbird has good features for mailing lists and threads.

The social players all moved over to FFXIV

Absolutely, especially with ADHD in the mix. When demand aversion kicks in, your brain literally tries to undermine any attempt to focus unless you can force it to cooperate. Music usually helps me with this.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder.

We don’t have a natural ability to infer emotions from body language, for a start. We have to learn to actively pay attention to it. Replacing natural instinct that a neurotypical person has with an active thought process is tiring, for a start.

Add to that most ASD people have trouble with emotional control, need to actively think about their own facial expressions, and often have social quirks that are unacceptable like nail biting which must be actively repressed… and being around others for hours on end is exhausting.

On top of this, most ASD people also have ADHD, and in the modern open office environment between the social aspect and never ending barrage of distraction, and the workplace is hostile, actively hostile to folks with ASD.

This combination of factors leads to having no where to unmask and relax until they get home. When they do, they are so exhausted from being something they are not for 10 hours (commute has to be included as its all public space) that when they get home they just shut down. They don’t call family or friends usually, they don’t get things around the house done. They have to turn off and try to re-energize themselves for doing it all again tomorrow.

I know all this as I am ASD and ADHD

Being able to work from home has brought actual balance to our lives as we can unmask the moment the camera goes off, we have rooms at home where we can close the door and remove distractions (well except mandatory work chats, but its a matter of muting that for focus) and at the end of the day we still have energy for our actual lives. In other words, this is the true work-life balance that I had always heard of but never truly felt I had.

Nanaimo BC, Canada… price is in CAD. That converts to $3.32 USD

I must say I am shocked that our prices are on par with or lower than anywhere in the US. I mean the conversion rate on the California price is insane in CAD:

Hard agree. Sadly Twitter did nothing to help rid us of these short forms with its initial character limits.

They are paid to abuse that power, by the billionaires. The billionaires also pay them to keep folks fighting over any topic that keeps the people away from realizing what they are up to. Usually most of the more ridiculous claims from folks at outlets like Fox come right before billionaires cram themselves a tax break into an omnibus bill or repeal some fundamental human right or cut critical parts of your social services and supports.

Ahh yes the Canadian Cannabis Tree. Its leaf the symbol of our pride, and our GDP bolstered by tapping its precious juices each spring in order to make CBD oil to sell to forward thinking states.

Middle school is usually grades 7-8

And circumcisions.

D is the dastardly bastard that threw the first one down the hole.

Squash, definitely squash.

.nomedia files are fairly standard across applications on Android and Linux. Nextcloud and other applications will use them to know not to scan that forlder with automation, thumbnail creation, ml, etc. Its a simple and standard signal. It follows the .file convention so it should be hidden when not browsing with hidden files on.

I’m just an introvert with ADHDand I agree with this meme. This is especially true after a long day of work. I do not have extreme anxiety or any anxiety in a social situation. I just find them exhausting.

I don’t get it… Feet are gross.
