    I made this experience so this is representative

    That is not what they claimed. They claimed to represent “many”, not everyone. Only you made that claim.

    You can tell them that their argument is “an anecdotal fallacy” for which “no sources have been cited” and ask them to provide further evidence. That is not what you did. (You responded with your own sourceless anecdote, followed by the aforementioned.)

    attack the idea that invalidating self diagnosis is gatekeeping (which will probably fail) and not me personally

    You seem to have misunderstood my intent.

    I don’t really have a strong opinion about people who self diagnose. It does not matter to me whether or not they’re freely included. As such, I do not intend to “attack the idea that invalidating self diagnosis is gatekeeping”. As I said, you’re free to have that opinion, I won’t challenge it.

    The thing I do have an issue with is how you presented your opinion as without alternative, claiming to represent the autism community as a whole and disregarding others’ points of view.

    You can try to invalidate my point, insulting me by saying that criticising your way of presenting and discussing views “shows lack of character”.

    But that won’t stop me from telling you to please stop unreasonably misrepresenting and disregarding others in the future.

    Your view makes sense and you’re free to believe it.

    But many others have different views.

    For example the comment of whoisearth described a negative experience with overinclusion. Their view is valid and to be considered.

    You answered with “let’s just not try and gatekeep and we’re on the same page”, simply ignoring their point and asking them to unconditionally adopt your view.

    You are free to only consider your view and ignore or even discredit others (as “gatekeeping”).

    But do not act like you represent us.




  • Many projects take a long time to become profitable. The workers would starve until then.

    Because of that, they need to borrow wealth to be able to keep working on the project until it becomes profitable.

    The concept of lending wealth is therefore necessary.

    Noone is gonna accept the risk of lending out wealth unless they expect some gain, some profit.

    Therefore the workers promise to not only repay the lent wealth but to also pay on top of that, perhaps a share of the project’s profit.

    Hence the concept of profitable investment is necessary.

    Adding a little to the other comment: Nix packages are fully reproducible, so you can verify they’re built from the source they’re claimed to be. That makes package distribution more secure. (E.g. Debian could add malicious code to some packages before compiling them, and you’d never know. Not saying they do that, but they’re able to.)
