- Comment on If autism is a spectrum, does that mean everyone is on the spectrum? 6 days ago:
As I understand it, no. An autism diagnosis is only given if certain criteria are met.
Imagine a swimming pool. There are people swimming in the shallow water, there are people swimming in the medium depth water, and there are people swimming in the deep end of the pool. These can represent the 3 levels of intensity that autism diagnoses are broken down into. However, there are also people outside of the water sunbathing in the pool’s beach chairs. These can represent the allistic (non-autistic) individuals. They are still at the pool but they are not in the water at any depth.

I apologize for my error! I will avoid using em-dashes in the future. Would you like to delve deeper into other tropes of AI writing? As of my most recent update, other tropes of AI writing include the following:
- Lists
- Surface level falsities
- Use of em-dashes
- Inability to find sources for information
- Repetition
- Using em-dashes
- Internal contradictions
- Uncanny positivity and encouragement
Any of these would be a great trope of A.I. writing — Would you like to discuss any of the listed items?

I see. Your priority is quantity over quality. Gross quantity is gross. Not gross quality is not gross. I’m sorry I suggested you learn a new skill and do little more than type a sentence — I’m sure that must be strenuous for you.

It is very simple to find a stock image of a milk carton, a stock image of a stoat, a white rectangle, and text boxes and to compose them all in Google Sheets, Microsoft PowerPoint, or any other editor program

What a tasteless and illogical thing to say
- Comment on i 💚 animals. 1 week ago:
I see no text on the page you linked that references any connotation of superiority or purity. The first usage of the meme does not suggest either a superiority or a purity, as you claim; however, an audience might project their preferences and gatekeeping onto that which is without bias. In the vast majority of the examples in the link, there is simply a contextual miscommunication between two valid interpretations of a term; only a few examples do suggest superiority or purity. Deferring to imgflip, many of the user-made memes do not have that connotation, while some do. Based on these data, I do not see a subtext of connotation or purity to be necessarily implied in use of that template. The comedy can be derived from something as simple as a word having two meanings.
Once again, you have also claimed that I said something which I had not (prior to this comment).

I think you’re reading things that neither me nor the above image have said.
- Comment on i 💚 animals. 1 week ago:
If somebody’s just following dogma and thinking within a box, they’re not doing science.
I didn’t even interpret the meme as suggesting that one group of subjects is better than another, and I was disappointed to see so many commenters here thinking that their narrow or broad branch of study is better or more of a true science than other valid fields.
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 week ago:
I take issue with how the meme says “Jupiter doesn’t orbit the Sun”, which rejects one valid and common way of using the verb “to orbit”.
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 week ago:
I mean, the Wikipedia page for Jupiter says “Jupiter orbits the Sun”
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 week ago:
It seems to fundamentally change what it means “to orbit” something.
As I understood the term, orbiting would be used correctly in these cases:
A lighter object orbits a heavier object, and both of their paths of motion are elliptical about their barycenter
Two objects of identical mass orbit each other, and their paths of motion are circular about their barycenter
In contrast, the image above implies the following:
A lighter object does not orbit a heavier object; they both orbit their barycenter with an elliptical path of motion
Two objects of identical mass do no orbit each other; they both orbit their barycenter with an circular path of motion
Even the Wikipedia page for barycenter, which OP linked to, opens with the following:
“the barycenter… is the center of massof two or more bodies that orbit one another and is the point about which the bodies orbit.”
Perhaps “orbit” as a verb has two meanings, depending on the specificity of the context.

- Comment on Something we all can agree on 1 week ago:
- Comment on Say hello to Bary 1 week ago:
Is it more true to say that Jupiter (and the other planets and asteroid belts and dust clouds in our solar system) orbits the Sun, and the Sun orbits the barycenter? The barycenter that the sun revolves around is influenced (marginally) by the other bodies in the solar system and not just Jupiter. If the definition of a barycenter is to be interpreted as this image suggests, that would mean that no material object orbits another material object and they instead orbit their collective center of mass somewhere in space.
- Comment on Something we all can agree on 1 week ago:
- The poor English is just how the existing meme template is written.
- The poor English may also be intentional to suggest irony or facetiousness in the meme as a whole.
- Apostrophes are not exclusively for possessives. In language, they can also indicate a contraction, among other uses.
- You’re the second person on this post to call out the apostrophe, but neither of you called out the capital F in “Fact’s”.
