I'm sure this will work flawlessly and no one will ever get a spam call again!

I see it getting better slowly. The number of calls I get on my landline (yes, still have one) have reduced sharply. Two weeks ago, some idiot with an auto-dialer was calling me one or two times a day and the caller ID showed [V] for verified. I tracked down his provider and complained and the calls stopped immediately. Anything unknown or likely spam is automatically blocked.

I understand that scam call operations are often run out of office buildings, much like other businesses that conduct themselves over the internet.

I would like to propose we level those office buildings with cruise missiles. I don’t think it would render our wishes unclear.

Someone needs to do a study to see if increased rain and snowfall cause reservoirs to have more water.

Holy cow, that would be great! I have no love for the 3 am text from rando email advertising singles crap or whatever. The latest is everyday the text from email that says my Netflix, Amex, Amazon, home depot etc account has been locked, please go here and give us your info.. and the people that own and run the network just can't seem to do anything, shucks...

Great. Now stop the robo calls.

It's a start.

It's a radio system. That's it. Some people who find flexible metal fashionable for headwear believe that it can be used by the government to control the weather via radio transmissions. I'm kind of charmed to see it mentioned since 5G stole the thunder of people that don't understand electromagnetic radiation.

Cool. Now get them to stop them from calling me. Ever since work switched to Zoom phone, I get at LEAST three scam calls a day.

You can offer help via the social model of disability, different =/= deficient.

I mean the medical model of disability is deficit based so I get why we end up with weird titles like that, as well as weird person first language that shouldn’t apply to neurotypes :/.

It’s about damn time.

Now get ISP’s to block phishing.

I wish we had more of that, and less of the "cure for autism" BS

I do, too. I hope I find more layers to add to that support for me.

He may not be "as successful" but that gentleman probably has far more moral integrity than Musk does.

He has "success"....because he came from money. He takes credit for the work of others. He didn't found Tesla, he bought it. He didn't invent any of those cars, his workers did. He can't even credit an artist who's work he reposted when people politely asked him to. And any time he does something cringe or throws a shit fit, Tesla's stock goes down.

And what of Twitter? Also something he bought, and screwed a lot of people over. Especially small artists who already struggled because the algorithm was shit, and the only "viable" way to avoid it is a stupid subscription service he wanted to impliment, as if he needs more fuckibg money. He's so stupid that he fired the "bottom half" of his staff because they had the least amount of coding (PS, less coding is more efficient).

Most autistic people here do notcome fom money or even a decent family, never mind their income. We live from paycheck to paychck or disability if we got lucky jumping through hoops. And even then that money doesn't come for weeks or months.

He's everything autistic people SHOULD NOT strive to be.

The only point I was making about Elon Musk is that he has found more success in business than the gentleman in the article.

Autistic person here.

Elon Musk is a terrible example considering he comes from old money and spends his time being maliciously incompetent and shitting on people because "I'm rich and ur not lol". And that's not the "lack of empathy" or autism making him incompetent either. Dude's a full on sociopath.

He also tried to "cure" autism when the only way to do that would be to kill autistic people. It's part of who we are, and it's not us who need to adjust. It's the world around us who treat us like shit 99% of the time.

Most autistic people (at least in the US) can't even get employed full time much less get rich or have a business. 50% are employed, and only 15% work full time. Most of us also don't even live to be 40 due to elevated rates of depression and suicide because of how we get treated by people around us.

inb4 the elon simps to downvote me into oblivion for criticizing the guy they wanna suck off.

EYE watering-ly big. I love the words. Ahahahaha

Yes, autistic people are deficient in some ways. This is the definition, “A serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact.”. Autism is literally a deficiency in social skills that make it harder for them to succeed in a modern day society that relies on social skills.

I don’t mean to be offensive, but being deficient in something or having a medical condition that makes you struggle in certain situations, is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. But pretending that people with autism don’t need help or assistance only makes it harder for them to get actual assistance.

Ooo cake! Didn’t even notice!

Lot of agriculture phds up here in the comments lol

Take the water back now y'all
