  • I have a 15yo kid with ASD. While she is highly functional, goes to a good public school, she can’t decide which trash bin to use and will just freeze for a while, overthinking it… She can talk for hours about the anatomy of a cat, but knows nothing about politics, or how the world functions… I think 16 is too young to vote, but my perspective is warped.

    Looking at your repos, it seems like “fork” is your favorite term, since you’ve mastered the art of taking other people’s work and making it mildly less impressive. Setting up Keychron settings? Wow, groundbreaking stuff. Your “Rimworld mod” could hardly bluff its way to quality of life improvements if it tried. And a “pure Unix shell script”? Sounds like the most exciting way to put people to sleep since counting sheep.
    

  • Same. Grew up watching Cartoon Network, HBO and the Discovery Channel with no subs (or dubs, they are not a thing in RO). Then there was music (lyrics) and later on video games and the Internet. It helped not having any OS or software available in my native language. Even to this day I use my phone and computer in English.

    While I did have English classes at school (6th to 12th), the level was rather basic… I also took French for 10 years, and I can barely speak it. Otoh, I didn’t take one Italian class, but I can speak some, and understand almost everything. Again, this is because we had a bunch of Italian TV channels in the early 90s.
