I constantly feel the need to argue with this dumb fuck and his 99% wrong opinions. I usually have to take a step back, remember it's not worth it, and then move on. It would be a great help if I had a Firefox add-on that precedes all of musk's tweets with "retard weighing in: ", just as a reminder that he's also allowed a point of view, despite his mental issues.

I remember someone once created a firefox addon that made all of Trump's tweets look like they were drawn with crayon. Someone should make a new version of that for Musk.

Pretty sure you‘re only using the r-bomb and „mental issues“ in a joking way but its kind of not funny.

Musk is a spoiled, unempathetic, overhyped idiot who claims to be autistic… perfect example that autistic people can be cretins as well.

But a lot of autistic people are getting called the r-word and its not ok. Mental (health) issues are not a stigma. They are okay and normal. Being an asshole isnt normal or okay though.

By definition you can't be normal if you're neurodivergent...

By the "divergent" part of the word, you're right.

It would be like saying "it's normal to be abnormal". While it's true that not everybody is identical, and everyone has their quirks, by defintion "abnormal" is not "normal".

No idea if you‘re trying to offend people but „not normal“ is a term used to exclude people from a social group. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/normal

The term used to distinguish from is „typical“.

From the very source you provided:

[...] by Late Latin normālis had also come to mean "according to a rule", from which modern English senses of the word derive: in the 1800s, as people began to quantitatively study things like height and weight and blood pressure, the usual or most common values came to be referred to as "normal", and by extension values regarded as healthy or desirable came to be called "normal" regardless of their usuality.

I don't think anyone of sane mind would argue against the notion that it's more desirable, and by definition healthier, to be born neurotypical than neurodivergent.

just exchange the word neurodivergent with black or jewish and neurotypical with white or christian and you see the problem.

Provided you are “sane”.

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

"Just completely change your argument and it becomes problematic" is hardly convincing. In fact, you've committed a classic logical fallacy.

Yesh kinda weird how ok a lot of the users here are with using the r-word slur.

[-] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 1 points 10 months ago

A little disturbing, ngl. Some might have grown up in a time or place where getting bullied and mistreated was no bid deal. Its actually good to see these things changing.

Irrelevant question ahead->

I have read that Google is dumb and potentially malware carrying extensions sometimes slip through their security and onto the chrome store. Is it true and how does it apply to Firefox
