Yes I am pretty tired of being lied to by people with like Bernie Sanders and yourself.

IMPORTANT ADVICE:

Never use all your mod points to mod rsilvergun down! The slashdot algorithm then won't give you anymore mod points and might even ignore your mods.

For example, if you get 5 mod points, use at most 2 points to mod him down and using only *1* point out of your 5 points to mod him down is even safer. Use the rest of your points to mod other users up. The algorithm favorize users modding people up, not down and rsilvergun uses it to his advantage to mod himself up with his sock puppet accounts.

In short, it has to be a collective effort. Don't try to do it all by yourself using all your mod points to mod him down.

-Thanks for your attention to this matter.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/art... Also, Extreme leftist communists take pride in having as many deficiencies as possible. To them, the more deficient they are the better. Gavin Newsom has just proclaimed he can't read because he is pretending to be dyslexic and that's one more reason to vote for him according to him. He went as far as telling the voter he was talking too that he was "just like him", thus being racist suggesting a black voter obviously can't read.

https://nypost.com/2026/02/24/... But when a TV reporter asked him if he was diagnosed with dyslexia, he refused to answer the question!

So being broke is desirable to them as much as their deficiencies.

Here on Slashdot, we have rsilvergun bragging about his "various neuro atypical problems". Again here, the more you have the better. This makes all extreme leftist communists feel so special and unique thus better than everybody else. rsilvergun even says he constitutes the blueprint of humans we need to become an advanced civilization!

I'm extremely autistic so I don't think it works on me.

https://slashdot.org/comments....

I needed a lot of that treatment myself and never got it because my mother was an absolute lunatic and with the exception of some speech therapy I didn't get any of the other treatments for my various neuro atypical problems... there was always beer in the house though if I wanted to drink it which fortunately I didn't. Like I said lunatic.

The thing with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder is that it often presents as autism spectrum disorder. There is no "extremely autistic", there are only varying levels of how functional they are. FASD patients are differentiated in several ways from high functioning autism, namely things like difficulty with social interaction, where present, tend to be far more pronounced, especially given they're quick to anger and emotional outbursts. Another telltale sign in rsilvergun's case is his speech disorder. High functioning autistic patients only have one kind of speech disorder, namely delayed speech. They will never benefit from speech therapy like rsilvergun said that he needed. Meanwhile, FASD patients run the gamut, everything from mild stuttering to severe limitations in how they can move their mouths. And yeah, they'll need speech therapy to learn to work around this. And then there's also how he mentioned that his mom had severe alcoholism all of her adult life.

The only way to be more certain is to observe facial features. Bradley Manning was diagnosed this way, as was Bernie Sanders https://www.banyantreatmentcen... . These never occur with autism.

I reviewed the Slashdot user profile for rsilvergun and some of their comments. Here's an analysis of patterns that might align with common traits found in some autistic individuals again, this is not a diagnosis, just speculative behavioral observation based solely on writing style:

Observed Traits:

1. Intense focus on specific topics The user writes frequently and at length about niche technical subjects. Linux desktops, memory management, retro gaming systems, low-level programming, and kernel internals. This narrow but deep interest in a few topics is consistent with autistic "special interests", where an individual becomes highly knowledgeable and invested in a domain over time.

2. Formal, precise language Their tone is usually very factual, sometimes pedantic. For instance, they correct minor inaccuracies, cite specific versions or system behavior, and show a low tolerance for vague statements. This aligns with the autistic trait of preferring clarity, precision, and correctness, especially in communication.

3. Low concern for social cues or audience tone Many of their posts are direct or even dismissive, e.g. 'that's completely wrong,' or 'it's not bloated, you just don't know how to configure it.' They appear less concerned with how their tone might be perceived emotionally. This could reflect difficulty in modulating tone for social harmony, which is often found in autistic individuals.

4. Literal interpretation of discussions Some responses suggest they take other users' questions or comments very literally, missing subtext or humor. This might point to reduced instinct for implied meaning or sarcasm, another common feature in autism.

5. Resistance to ambiguity or generalization The user often pushes back when others make broad claims or assumptions, offering exact technical explanations or exceptions. This need for specificity over generality is also in line with certain autistic thinking patterns.

6. Obsessions about mod point in line with certain autistic thinking patterns.

What this could suggest:

There are indeed several traits here that align with what's seen in some people on the autism spectrumfocused interests, literal communication style, detail obsession, and a direct tone unconcerned with social smoothing. These don't confirm autism, but they do suggest a cognitive style that might be described as "systemizing" (per Simon Baron-Cohen's theory), which is common in neurodivergent individuals.

Caveats:

None of this substitutes for real-world interaction, developmental history, or sensory profile. Some people just write bluntly or have strong opinions. Technical communities often cultivate communication styles that mimic traits seen in autism, regardless of whether the person is autistic.

TL;DR i will smash you into bits if only i could physically locate you is what this long-winded dipsh!t is trying to say.

Someone is assuming there is causation in stock prices. Just a matter of opinion without any causal connection to reality these days.

The original premise of the stock market made a certain amount of sense. So perhaps we should correlate stock market changes against historical fiction.

Go through all the genres until we find the one with the highest correlation!

preach! we're really reaching here with 1 and 2 percent changes and calling the speculative fiction stories the causal reason for them. must be a slow news day...

If you use CarPlay, the default settings won't let you touch the screen to do anything, so you have to bounce around the UI with the scroll wheel, and with the latest CarPlay the active item is gray, and the inactive items are green. I don't know who signed off on that, but they should be fired.

You can enable the touchscreen while the vehicle is in motion.

cool. thank you, boss

A Datum is a single data point.

In UK English, data can be a collective (uncountable) noun (like water). It does not have to be.

If you have two data sets, and fling them all in the same database. What you had in the database before, and what you have after, is still just data.
