Don't get me wrong, the autistic part was of the stereotype about being unable to understand other humans. We all know Sheldon Cooper is not real but that's how is portrayed in the collective imagination
This collective imagination is the problem and you should not feed it. That's why mentioning autism in this context is problematic, too.

indeed, the only way to build a better world for neurodivergent people is to overthrow capitalism, and part of that means having a correct analysis of how capitalism works and not just blaming it on capitalists being "stupid and evil" (which i think "autistic" is code for in this case, eugh)@redrozalia @quixoticgeek @michaelgemar @amydiehl
Agree.Just one note:
We don't need to overthrow capitalism, we need to go one step further. Communists are not anti-capitalist, we are post-capitalist. We need all those good things capitalism built. The goal is to get rid of the old structures and leaders (we can discuss the role of violence in this process), and the result is a better world for neurodivergent and, in general, different types of people (gender, color, etc) -

@amydiehl I just want decent coffee, and my name spelled correctly or not at all. As I can't get either of those things at Starbucks, I'm out!

Who have the power is who decide andQuoting Mao:
"Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun"The question is, which are tools they use to decide, is greed, personal interest or historical and material analysis
@RedKoba
If Mao and Stalin are your idols, it is unfortunate that you are admiring fascists. Both of them have been opportunistic sociopaths who used the chaos and vacuum within socialist revolutions to become a fascist leader (eventually). @quixoticgeek @tml @monokeros @ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl -

So they have to be J/Kpop idol-like giving out fan service with the company products they sell.
What's next - pitting them against each other in fake challenges while the pumpkin spice venti is being assembled and having the customers vote for who they think won before paying?
Or were they going more for the art student/between roles actor creative? Cos that just stinks of "have a nice day?" in a kooky font.@Theriac @amydiehl Think bigger, customers should have to earn voting points by buying more Starbucks drinks with bonus points for a different drink each week, buying Starbucks merch, playing Starbucks gacha games in their Starbucks mobile app, installing Starbucks emoji packs, engaging with Starbucks social media, etc.

we have to be able to monetise every customer interaction with staff as well though - maybe we could add ai chatbots to the app with avatars based on actual staff who are contractually obliged to respond politely to any parasocial fantasies the customers have had formed through ai psychosis while the heartfelt message is being written on their venti cup. -

I was thinking about Altman or Musk, who are diagnosed autistics
Probably sociopaths too but there is no diagnosis yet
@RedKoba ...I don't know from where you pulled the claim that Sam Altman and Elon Musk are diagnosed with autism, but neither of them are, nor do they show any behavior that would point towards the possibility of them being autistic or neurodivergent.
Musk claimed in a 2021 SNL video that he has Asperger's but everyone doubts it, and there's nothing 'strange' about Altman. Both are more likely to fit narcissistic personality disorders, but that's only based on their public behavior.

@amydiehl @quixoticgeek I feel like these companies are run by men who do not understand genuine human interactions.
@michaelgemar @amydiehl @quixoticgeek oh no, they know. They’re trying to profit off “the male loneliness crisis” that capitalism has caused. It’s gross AF.
