I'm moving over to @gid so if you see a follow request from that account, it's only me :)

@ada haha

@ada ewww they want users to install another app just to set their preferences?

That's dirty.

@ArtistMarciaX jfc :(

I'm getting back on the exercise routine. Did 30 minutes of a mixture of running and circuit training. Apart from stopping the run halfway through to drink some water I did it all without breaks.

@LexYeen yeah I can just imagine them frothing at the mouth about universal healthcare.

@LexYeen that reads like someone trained a RNN on Infowars articles and The Food Network.

@AdaAimee absolutely. It really angers me. It feeds in to the stereotype that all autistic people are deficient somehow.

@caillou
Yeah. 100% of scientists* agree.

Ugh I just responded to a video post on Facebook pushing the often disproved link between vaccines and autism.

I know I shouldn't bite, but it bothers me that people will watch it and think it's good science because the argument came from someone wearing a lab coat.

Fact is, nobody knows what causes autism. So suggesting it's caused by anything, whether it's vaccines, antibiotics, MRI scans or the phase of the moon, is just irresponsible.

@david_ross
Seriously, they led with that? What's wrong with people?

I'm hosting my first barbecue of the year 🙆 I'm not stressed at all!

Does anyone have any experience of attending a Hacker X event? If so, what was your general impression? Would you recommend it?
