Can confirm.

Will do that every time.

I am like you. The way I listen to music is not the conventional way in which someone has a playlist and goes with it for a while, then add new music, etc… I am autistic too, and my music routine generally implies having a song or two on repeat for the day because they are a form of stimming for me. So I don’t use streaming services if not for trying new music before seeing if I want that song.

My rule is that if I find a song I can be comfortable with to listen to it for a while hour on repeat and I still like it, I’ll buy it. If that happens, that song is probably going to be my next stimming song for days or even weeks, meaning I’ll listen to it hundreds or thousands of times. If that’s the case, I’ll buy it.

On some rare instances, I find an artist that I really like because they have more than one song that helps me and then I’ll buy their album just to show support to what they are doing.

I also can’t go to shows because they are a nightmare to my brain and its lack of sensory overload control.

It’s fine. Sometimes this happens. A song gets stuck in my autistic brain and I’ll play it non stop for days or weeks.

Hello! Nice to meet you fellow stranger!

No, they are kid murderers. They let their child die refusing to go to a doctor and fucking letting her lay in a pallet instead of a bed.

And let’s not forget that they refused to give details as to what caused her injuries. These are evil people and they deserve life in prison so they can never again hurt someone.

I’m autistic.

It’s actually pretty simple: they have created the perfect conditions.

First, theirs is not a customer but a fanbase. People want to be part of the apple universe because they are fans of it.

Second, they have made it extremely difficult to get out once you enter their ecosystem.

So basically you have a good bunch of people who are fans of their products (so not buying because of functionality but because of fidelity), and another good bunch that are captives of a previous decision and can’t get out easily.

There are other minor groups in their customer base, but they aren’t that relevant to make a dent in their sales if Apple loses them.

Ahhh Qatar… Such a nice place to live… FIFA said that they did a lot for human rights so they could hold a World Cup event…

I guess having female toilets in the stadiums was more than enough to consider “a lot”.

Seriously people, don’t go there.

Trump is Christian and look what he wants to do with his project 2025. It’s not about religion, it’s about an authoritarian regime that uses a book as justification for their bullshit.

There are more, this is just one of them

You already admitted to another user that a victim can be partially to blame when something happens to them under certain circumstances.

You just don’t want to accept that for the man in the article because he’s “from your team”.

You lost. A while ago. And you just keep your insulating crusade because that’s all that remains to you.

You are (by your own admission) using “cishet” as a derogatory slur. That’s exactly insulting someone for something they don’t have a choice on.

And after that, you’re just being offensive because someone on the internet didn’t agree with you. Calm down a bit, breathe and maybe log off for a moment, you’ll feel better after that.

Oh this is awesome! So now my comments are somehow offensive and get removed by a mod but a person that’s calling other people names is apparently fine. And just when I thought Lemmy was different from Reddit… Can a mod please point out what part of my comments was somehow deserving of the removal?

The only thing you’re doing with this is generating hate towards you.

It’s ironic how the queer community is fighting to not get marginalised by something they can’t choose (such as their sexual identity) and you’re just doing that.

You’re becoming what you hate.

There you go, seems it wasn’t necessary after all. You’re just looking for enemies. Good luck in your quest.

Do I really need to screenshot those messages? Don’t make me do such thing, please.

Can you point out what did I twist? Maybe when I said that there are surely better places to go for a queer person than Qatar and then you said that you are marginalized everywhere? And then I pointed out that surely it’s not the same a country like Spain than a country like Qatar? But you kept going with it?

You really don’t know what you’re talking about. But that’s fine, go on.

I am saying that Qatar is not comparable to EU. And if you refuse to see that, then you’re part of the problem. How many EU countries can you name in which being gay is punished with death? If you really think that queer people is oppressed the same way in a democratic civilised country than it is in an autocratic regime as the one of Qatar, you are just denying any kind of progress, and hurting queer people more than helping them. You should be ashamed of even considering that.

You look like someone looking for enemies, and that’s only going to hurt yourself, not me.

You’re mad at me because you don’t like what I’m saying.

And instead of trying to understand that maybe sometimes a victim can be criticised for what they suffered, so they learn from it to never repeat it, you double down on your attacks refusing to see anything wrong in this person’s behaviour. You even go as far as saying that every country is the same when it comes to queer people treatment, as if Qatar was remotely comparable to any UE country in which they can live a full life like any other citizen.

Is feeling compassion incompatible with anything else?

What happened to this man is a tragedy nobody should experience (this is compassion).

The reason why this happened was totally avoidable, Qatar is a country everyone should avoid (everyone includes queer people too) because they have crap laws and don’t care about human rights. (This has to be said because we need to educate people so they don’t suffer this again)

Do you have the power to change Qatar laws so they don’t consider being gay a crime? I’d love a different solution, for example one that makes Qatar a livable place for everyone, but until this happens, the best thing we can do is not going there, especially if your mere existence is a crime for them.
