Can one help to be smart enough to have a good life I hate being shunned by this community. I guess I’m just going to live alone in this world. If my town hates me for being smart. Than one can understand the hatred of getting an education. I wish someone can at least understand what I’m saying here. Time to crawl in the corner and be alone with no one to talk two.
Microsoft has a bad habit of discontinuing products other than Windows 11. The only thing off topic was midi support. Everything else was indeed relevant to this topic just saying. The topic was about how e-waste is going to happen if Microsoft forces the tpm 2.0 requirement. Honestly its already happened with every other computer replaced prior. This is why its a problem.
The point I’m making is simple. Just keep using what you have and don’t believe everything greedy corporations has to say. Because it’s most likely not true. Because no matter what. If hackers wanted to. They can just get into it anyways. There is too many vulnerabilities to keep track of. If it was just one product with top security protections. Then I would understand the reason for upgrades. That’s not the world we live in unfortunately.
This is why I’m hated. Just talking about history seems to hurt the conversation. Even if its relevant to the topic at hand. Then why even keep records of the past one can’t learn from history. The fact that history is repeating itself today doesn’t bother you at all. Windows 11 is just that. A product that people throw away and never think of again. History needs to be kept alive for future generations. Am I the only one who understands this fact.
If fairphone cares about the environment like their moto clearly stated. Then this shouldn’t be a concern. Unfortunately they care about the bottom line and that’s it. I like the way making things repairable and to last a long while. That’s the way tech should go. Companies just release new products with shorter and shorter lifespans when the old was built to last a long time. Its in everything including appliances, homes, tech, cars, etc. I had to replace more than my fair share of stuff because of planned obsolescence. This doesn’t need to be the case here. Just saying
Don’t go dramatic please.
You are not hated, just regularly moderated as anyone going offtopic.
Your posts are sometimes (really) long and quite chaotic, switching from a argument to another apparently non related… To summarize you are simetimes hard to follow…
But no-one hates you here. At least not me
The point is that this is a community forum so moderators try to give it a bit of structure, so that everyone can track the topics without having headaches
@Digimon, we unfortunately have LLMs at our disposal nowadays, and they’re very competent at deobfuscation:
Here’s the translation of your binary sequence into readable text:
I was on topic. Just not for the midi files. The topic was about Microsoft discontinuing Windows 11. This wasn’t the only OS they discontinued though. It makes one lonely to have a high IQ in life.
This appears to be a statement regarding a conversation about Microsoft discontinuing Windows 11, along with some commentary on intelligence and loneliness. Let me know if you need further clarification!
However, I presume it’s UTF-8 without a BOM, so it wouldn’t necessitate much more than going to Google and searching for a converter.
Gotta say, that came right out of left field, though. What compelled you to post that…?
You (should) know that that’s bollocks. Irrespective, if ever you worry about that, just concisely ask the relevant person in a PM, and when they inevitably confirm that they do not, believe them. You shouldn’t unilaterally and publicly ascribe inference from that which a reasonable person would not.
Look it doesn’t help to have a high IQ here is a video to prove that society hates intelligent people. Its more than a fact. I get upset because of ADHD, Bipolar, Autism, depression, loneliness, and more. Being autistic one can see things that others can’t see. I was bullied most of my life. Have no real friends. I mostly rely on imaginary friends for comfort. I know society has sunned me so many times I’m used to it. Even as a straight A student. A nerd in a nutshell. Being lonely is an epidemic. I can see why. Most people like me who is kind can’t have a normal life. I’m sorry if my mood swings effects this chat. I do try to keep an open mind at times. Try to reason about things with others etc. I hope one can understand this point of view.
@Digimon, my ILP designates my as autistic. It doesn’t force upon me the belief that criticism of myself is a consequence of others’ lack of intelligence. That’s a horrific conclusion, similar to the doctrines that the “involuntarily celibate” ascribe to.
You should take more personal agency, for irrespective of whatever rationale you assign to your self-proclaimed loneliness, it shan’t be solved by sending strangers videos. I promise you I’d have never considered disliking you had you merely not mentioned this, but your irrelevant insistence that you’re persecuted is nonsensical.
I suggest you speak to someone who specialises in teaching those who lack social skills those social skills that they lack. I was under the (in retrospect) naive impression that they are inherently obvious, but you appear sincere, so they must not be.
Look high functioning autistic person who has a sign that reminds me of how many friends I have 56 imaginary, real world friends zero. I didn’t outright say your not intelligent. That was the point of that first video. The key take away for me is the complex sentence structure I use linked to imaginary Friends video. I can indeed sense what others feel about me. Even in their shoes. The key take away of the autism video is i see things differently from others. Being high functioning. I study by constantly reading books and always focused on trying to help others through knowledge. Even if others don’t see that. And that news article is real to a T.
I do find it hard sometimes; Admittedly I only get along with the elderly. People of my age group see me as an outcast. I try talking about things l value. Then one considers me weird. Then they don’t bother to even talk to me anymore after that. I have always assumed that its my nerdy personality that my peers don’t like. Then one tries fitting in by getting things that they like. Then they still don’t want to be friends. So I have always just focused on my work, hobbies, and interests. It seems that therapy sessions don’t work. I have tried that many times already. I have tried being social. No dice. Then tried just helping others. Same there. It just seems that everything I’ve tried never worked.
I don’t think that I’m valued as a person in general. It always seems that way. I still think that someday I’d find someone who shares the values I have. Even if it takes decades down the road to find one. It has only caused me emotional Pain so far. The knowledge I’ve gained only seems to hurt rather than help the situation.
If one must know. I’ve originally wanted to be a steam locomotive driver. I’ve always was so interested in how it worked and wanted to become one at a Museum when I grew up. Life had other plans. Then I became A YouTuber until the add Apocalypse happened. Making my measly channel not a valuable career path. I’ve seen become an author of books. Still not a great career path. Most people think my work is to complicated to read what I’ve written. Maybe its because I put a lot of details in the sentences. That’s probably why none of my posts here are easy to understand because of great detail that went into it.
In the end I care about everyone. It doesn’t matter what one thinks of me. Being one that is kind, understanding, and just down to earth in general. I just want people to think about the climate, e-waste, & pollution to the benefit of everyone. Sometimes it takes a single person to make a difference. I try to do this no matter the outcome. There is more than one way to see things in a different perspective. Even within a YouTube video. Music, TV, Movies, books, etc. All have hidden meanings & messages in them. It takes a keen eye to notice that. Or am I the only one? If Ben Franklin can see himself as a constant learner. Why can’t I do the same? Maybe one just has to start saying things as questions instead of opinions. Maybe that would sink in better in the end.
I think your smart, down to earth person who can see things differently from others. To bad there isn’t many of us who see things that way. This is mainly why I talk to you. If you can reason with an old fool like me. There is nothing standing in your way. I can see the true value of this conversation. We honestly need more people like you in this world. That takes courage and understanding of ones feelings. You that take charge kind of guy with that can do spirit.
That’s very kind, and your posts are actually very easily comprehensible, especially in comparison to some I’ve read on this forum (evidently written by non-native speakers). However, I believe you’ve again missed what matters. Specifically, if you simply don’t mention this problem of yours in every post of yours – which you nearly have thus far – it’s significantly less likely to affect you, for few would have ever considered this about you. Until you mentioned it, you didn’t appear whatsoever strange. Now you do.
If you, for rationale unbeknownst to me, you still wish to regardless, then you should have created a new thread way back when you first mentioned it in the original one about Windows deprecation. I repeat myself – you’ve an apparent unwillingness to understand what is contextually relevant, and that matters in every and any conversation.
Tangentially, note that the designation of “high-functioning” isn’t utilised in medical contexts anymore. In their stead is merely ASD, and the myriad attributes affiliated with it. These cannot be neatly categorised into “high” and “low” based upon appearance. An example of why is that some affected by the condition are useless in day-to-day activities, yet peerlessly competent at very specific skills. To refer to those who merely appear incompetent as literally less functional would be derogatory.
I wouldn’t have these disorders if I was respected. Take this as an example. Would you notice if someone is sitting alone at the cafeteria table. Would it be reasonable to sit next to someone who you may have never met? Who may be very knowledgeable. Who may be shy. Who knows till you try. I was always the one alone at the lunch table. May be the reason why I kever had a real friend in school because I always sat alone.
Another example. Would you intervene when someone is clearly being bullied? Or being sent to the principals office on false accusations? I was always getting punched, beaten up, stuffed in a locker. Then clearly getting sent to the office for missing class when it was the other way around. A nerd who had no reason for violence always seemed to get the short end of the deal. We as Americans clearly have other standards then helping someone in need. I’ve grown to realize that most people just look out for themselves.
As one has a thirst for Kindness and general openness to societies problems. Being smart has Downsides. This is why I clearly find it interesting that I was diagnosed with these disorders when it seems like I’m misunderstood. They’d rather just pop pills instead of obviously take care of the real issue at hand. Eminem’s Purple Pills song rings different to me when looked at differently. It seems I’m doomed to live a Jimmy Newtron’s lifestyle. But then why am I feeling that something is missing from my life? If one has gotten everything. Still I live with emptiness.
Sometimes I feel miss judged here. Hence why I’m openly discussing my past. If one is indeed kind hearted as may whish to be. Does it seem childish to whish for a much simpler life? Does innovation make one too smart for one’s own good? Maybe this why I’m Objective in my observations here. If one can enjoy life through the lens of a child. Seeing there is always positive things like what’s mentioned here in this video. Times were indeed different when one is little; and then expected to have the perfect life as an adult. One comes to find that its the ladder. Don’t you agree with that statement? Or video for that matter? If one is to have a perfect life. Then one can’t make any mistakes throughout their own life. No one is perfect; then why Society have such high standards?
Did I at least summarize it like Ben Franklin? Whas this easier to understand? Let me know. I’m honestly curious on what you have to say.
Thank you, again. However, your digressions resemble tangents, rather, so the constant focus switch confuses me. Consequently, I don’t believe that I comprehensively understand what you wish to communicate, although significant parts were certainly comprehensible.
Perhaps I need to be more concise to avoid repetition – I do sympathise (to the extent that I can) with your aforementioned hardships. They are undoubtedly traumatic. However, being somewhat less candid about how an emotional situation of yours relates to a post you are writing, especially in situations where your candor barely relates to the overall context of the thread, shall put you in good stead.
Its quite understandable for the context of the thread. But As one like me who See’s the world differently from others can attest. I’m like Timmy Turner from fairly odd parents. A person that was always the underdog in the show. Always bullied by Frances, Mr. Crocker, and the babysitter Vicky. All those talkin’ points corilate to the fact that it wasn’t just kids. It was the teachers also. I can never forgive miss. Revers from elementary school for all the abuse I went through under her watch. Being a special educator should see the bullying and therefore not be one also. The trama I went through was very rough indeed. All I’m saying is never judge a person by what they see on the outside. Its whats on the inside that matters more than anything.
To not be a bully myself. I do wish others can see things differently. Like by the kindness like you. Keeping an open mind can be valuable to everyone. Everyone has different perspectives on how things should be. I see a lot of people who think what I’m saying doesn’t matter to the current thread. Yeah I do admit I go off topic at times. But its usually for the betterment of the thread at hand. Windows should allow old hardware to be upgraded and not thrown out like I was. But its obvious that Windows just wants more e-waste to end up in landfills.
I see myself as one that challenges the status quo. The one who see things the way they are. Like The USA is no longer a free country or a democracy. That went out as soon Trump was elected. So one can never see the American tail series of migrant mice who arrive from overseas to have no cats in America. The strets are made with cheese. The Roots of what America stood for is gone. Seeing how things are here. Why cant One like I stand up and fight. No one else can see that if things continue on what they currently are. There will be no Law or order. America will more likely fall to dictatorship. As one as smart fears of ones safety. I would rather not stand around like a spring chicken.
This is why the eldery people like me. I take things like philosophy and make it sound better. This is more than likely why you got lost in the mix. I speak like a smart person and commonfolk cant understand the text. I have a huge vocabulary despite what one thinks. Yet another example of the benefits of having an imaginary friend. I can have better theory of mind without knowing I had it. Thus giving me the courage to stand up for what is right. If I have language differences with outhers. Its more than likely comes from reading literature and nothing else. I do sound more brittish now than American. Speaking just like shirlock holmes sounds quite astonishing don’t you think? Of course one must be quite rehearsed in the way of thinking? Now perhaps one day I’d sound like the crocodile hunter. Blimy look what big teeth you have mate. Good times.
Thoe i’d suppose I would rather keep having this conversation. Because its helping. I best be thinking about the thread and skiddaddle like the wind. Ta-da until we meet again.
In best reguards,
Digimon the Zorro of the United States.
