I‘m rewatching #TheBigBangTheory, now 2 years after my #autism diagnosis. I dont know what people dislike about this show. Sheldon makes me feel very validated. his friends making fun of him both shows problems of modern society and boundaries we sometimes dont see (like speaking the truth when someone is already down).
@haui#BigBangTheory and #YoungSheldon feel to me like early efforts to put #LGBTQ characters in front of broader audiences. Coded and not discussed. Stereotypical, with a while male focus.
I’m glad they added a similar female character, but wasn’t impressed that only the two #neurodifferent coded characters were permitted to have a relationship. #LoveOnTheSpectrum does the same.
So I’m glad we’re more visible. I just wish it was more authentic.
Physicist Arno Penzias, who co-discovered the cosmic microwave background, helping to confirm the Big Bang theory of the universe's beginning, died on Monday at age 90.
The discovery of an ancient supermassive black hole that existed early in the life of the universe has some questioning the legitimacy of the Big Bang Theory. This would be a hasty conclusion, says Don Lincoln, writing for Big Think. https://flip.it/ghz5R2 #Science#Space#Universe#BigBangTheory
My current and inadequate understanding of #autism is that it is sort of an "umbrella" term covering Differenz kinds of neurodivergent conditions.
You having divergent (pun intended 😉) experience from theirs would completely underpin that definition.
That said, I'd be curious to find out to which kinds of situations your "quick study" condition applies.
A memory like Sheldon's in #BigBangTheory, perhaps?
"Immediate" holistic understanding of concepts?
(If you don't...
Da hab ich jetzt einen Augenblick gebraucht zu verstehen, dass @fiee nicht über die Protagonistin aus der #BigBangTheory redet, sondern über den Supermarkt…
Und weil ich schon so gut in Fahrt war, ging es auch gleich mit „Naturgott“ (statt „Naturgut“) weiter… #VerleserDesTages
This has mostly been reported as "trans women banned from women's chess" but it's much more sinister. (as if it weren't already.)
ALL trans people are targeted by this ruling. Trans men will be stripped of all chess titles won, which can only be returned to them by “changing the gender back to a woman” (from the ICF’s ruling). ALL transgender chess players will be marked as trans in their files.
If you play or know anyone who does take a stand on this. It's ugly.
i/: They obviously didn't understand #BigBangTheory.
Probably didn't get it. So, no real nerds.
They obviously would've lost against you all the time.
Understandable, thus, that they did not want to mingle. i/
