Creativity
I am often creative in my multiparadigm approach in personality style, as well as in my ideal and prospective communication styles alike. While I am often uniquely identified by my takes and interest on the technology industry juxtaposed with geography, mathematics, current events, politics, history, and other topics and skills, I also believe that I can imagine myself as an idealized polymath, with interests in not just my standardized lifestyle, but also divergences from my lifestyle.
A lot of my creativity of interest comes from the fact that I am neurodivergent and on the autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, other factors should also be considered, as ignoring the distinctive characteristics of different types of abilities often results in overgeneralization and extreme levels of stereotyping, which I detest based on effectively every dimension of diversity. While society often expects me to be totally different from the “high-functioning” self that I actually am, occasionally scorning me with the label “disabled” or related labels, I believe that I am better off avoiding antiquated language over concerns about disability (I also have internalized rules and policies wherein I remind myself not to discriminate based on age, race, gender, sex, orientation, status, nationality, ethnicity, origin, or any other dimension of diversity in any way).
It is very unfortunate that we live in a hypercapitalist and excessively consumerist society, both of which I feel are traits of a cultural wasteland. I believe that capitalism is the cause for all loneliness causes that result from the modern tech dystopia, which results in feedback loops and shame alike. On a related note, I also detest the concept of suburbanization, as I believe that suburbia is a crisis that exists specifically to promote White supremacy, yet I also believe that racism is what is causing the climate crisis and human extinction. Politically, I can understand where I lean without any assistance from the outside world, simply through my extensive research and my historical figures of influence throughout.

Local school district to open Safe Sleep Lot as homelessness grows
Cincinnati Public Schools are opening a designated parking lot for homeless students and their families, allowing them to sleep in their cars while they seek housing. This initiative, part of a program called Project Connect, aims to provide a safe space and support for those experiencing homelessness. Being homeless has become illegal.
WTH has happened to this country when schools have to provide sanctuary for the homeless?

REPORT: Netanyahu quietly working to block Türkiye’s access to F-35s
Israel is reportedly using behind-the-scenes diplomacy to obstruct Ankara’s acquisition of F-35 fighter jets, citing concerns over Erdoğan’s past statements and the impact stealth aircraft could have on Israel’s early-warning and air-defense systems.
The effort is said to avoid open friction with President Trump, reflecting Israel’s preference for discreet pressure over public confrontation. nitter.net/ClashEdge/status/19…

Here's an alt-text description of the image:
The image shows a wide shot of a large, ornate gate and courtyard at Peking University, labeled as “West Gate, Peking University N509FZ”. Several people are visible in the courtyard, walking or standing. A red wall with a golden decorative pattern runs along the sides and back of the courtyard. There are green trees and a paved pathway visible. In the upper left corner, there is text that reads “RAOULL WALLENBERG INSTITUTE”. Below that is text that reads, "Our cooperation partners included Peking University, China University of Political Science and Law, and East-Lake Institute for Development. Over the years, we have developed a comprehensive development programme particularly in the areas of human rights and gender equality, anti-discrimination and the rights of persons with disabilities." Below the image, on the right, is a logo.

You know how New Zealand united in the aftermath of Christchurch and got through it together? Their media still don't publish the name of the gunman, so as to not glorify him.

There’s this stereotype that only the US, UK, and Japan were making good video games during the 80s and 90s.
Truth is, a whole lot of countries had killer titles that are obscure to this day. Partially, this is due to platforms that were popular elsewhere. But mostly, this was due to language.
France had its own micro-computer platforms like the Oric. L’Aigle d’Or (1984) is a good example of this.
Atari 8-bit was popular in Poland. This is because Jack Tramiel was Polish Jew (survived the Holocaust) who was able to sell a good many Atari hardware while Poland was still Communist. Robbo (1989) is a good example.
South Korea is interesting because they rejected Japanese consoles entirely. As a result, the game development scene privileged DOS over Nintendo. Games like Astonishia Story (1994) look like JRPGs for the SNES. But be rest assured, they’re actually KRPGs for DOS.

And all of the interesting games for the PC-98. I get the impression that most of them still haven't been translated.
