I know of some neurodivergent people who have said they are uncomfortable. That's the extent to which I can comment on that.

"Wild" has been my find-and-replace shortcut. When my brain wants the other word, I swap for "wild". But it does typically force me to be a little more creative, as well.

I have cut them out of my vocabulary (I've slipped a few times) over the past few years, but I know that it makes a non-zero number of people uncomfortable, and that's enough for me. I don't care if it's just 3 people who care, those words are simply not that important or useful to cling to them.

We have as much of a responsibility to ourselves to be precise in our communication as we do to others to not harm, either by direct attack or by reinforcing hurtful stereotypes.

I think it's also a good reason to think about the language we use. Even if 51% of neurodivergent people are cool with others using the word "crazy", you have to remember that a conversation is two totally different simultaneous experiences, one by the speaker, and the other by the listener.

An understatement. We loved it.

I sobbed through about 75% of this. It was incredible. First Broadway show I've ever seen that I didn't already know everything about, but it was worth it for the opportunity to experience it fresh.

In a few years, the AI chatbots are going to be giving *us* coding challenges and evaluating *our* outputs for correctness and performance.

"If you hate it here, just leave." Oh, where should I go? To the country that my country is bombing? Or maybe to the ones we are destabilizing? Or maybe to one of the countries whose economies we are destroying? I'm spoiled for choice!

When @authorblu.es says 90% of the PC-98 library is porn and the other 10% is Mahjong I always point out that the two are not mutually exclusive
