A disorder is something that interferes with your enjoyment of life. While I'm proudly autistic and don't have any issues saying that, I also recognize how it makes my life more difficult.

My sensory issues, stims, and social problems do interfere with my life and did even more when I was a child. I've been discriminated against for being autistic by a boss who tried to say that not making eye contact meant I was bad at my job. I've had to seek accommodations at work, which I wouldn't be able to do if it wasn't a disability

I appreciate your optimism but your perception is wrong. It very much is a disability and those of us living with it know that.

Is he the idiot who demands you only pay for things in cash and store it in labeled envelopes?

Is there anything in the rules about where the online cancellation has to be housed? I can totally see shady businesses hiding it in a part of the site that's not even on their sitemap and noindexed just to keep people from finding it.

It doesn't even go far enough to reach his ears most of the time. Just an orange smear ending after his cheeks.

Sometimes when I have to answer a call from an unknown number, I'll pick up but won't say anything. A human will say something when they hear it stop ringing, but most bots listen for voice activity before they start their recording so they'll just stay silent as long as you do.

Arbitration is overwhelmingly resolved in favor of corporations. The company pays the arbitrator, which means they will generally rule in their favor if they want to continue to be hired. Complainants get a fraction of the amount of money they'd get from a court case from arbitration, and it keeps the public from knowing what the company did. That's why so many companies are trying to force arbitration clauses on consumers.

It's speculated that the reason why Steam backed down from their clause in this case is that it was getting too expensive for them. Paying so many individual arbitrators and lawyers was costing them way more than resolving a single class action lawsuit. Hopefully more companies are forced to come to this realization in the future.

Edit: Article about why they may have removed the clause TL;DR Valve doesn't want to deal with 50,000 separate court cases at one time

The only reason I knew peanuts could be bad for your kidneys is watching Dr. Glaucomflecken and seeing his sketch of the nephrologist at Halloween. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAghdVqVJUg

You have fallen through reality into the Trekrooms.

Seriously? I just got mine done using the paper method and it was so annoying! Hope this is still around in 10 years.

I'm looking at it the other way. He'd probably use it to fundraise and rally his base. Better to delay so he can't juice it.
