[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 39 points 2 years ago (2 children) Been there, it is legit underwhelming. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago (3 children) Me too. I went there when I was 10 or 11, and as a child all I noticed was how incongruous it was with everything. I wasn't awed by it, and my parents seemed sort of put out with how I didn't care for it compared to my sisters. I'd like to pretend that's some kind of deep political sentiment, but really I think it's just aesthetically displeasing if you don't have a thing for monuments permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (2 children) Adults get weird when the indoctrinating they and society put so much effort into doesn't take hold. So much so, that they find some mental illness like Autism to label the child with. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] EvolvedTurtle@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 child) This implies autism isn't a real thing and that's pretty off base permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) I did not imply autism doesn't exist. I implied that kids who don't fall in line with their social programming run the risk of being diagnosed with autism as it's easier then reflecting on where or not the programming is correct. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) “Neuro-divergent” seems to be the catch-all today. Though I guess that’s considered on the spectrum too? Anyway, the majority of these cases seem to be “diagnosed” by YouTube parents. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I was diagnosed by an over ambitious child study team member in kindergarten that convinced my mother I had a learning disability. What followed was 13 years of wasted public education because every success proved the program worked and every failure proved the program was necessary. If it had happened today, I would have been diagnosed with autism and nothing would be better. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WldFyre@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) What?? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (3 children) Did I studder? If kids don't respond the way adults want them to, they get labeled as being a Problem. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] WldFyre@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) That makes more sense, I just didn't get why you mentioned autism in your first comment. Seems like an odd take to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Advertising/Propaganda doesn't work as well on people with Autism. I called it a mental illness because regardless of what flowery language society decides to use to describe neurodivergent people, they will treat them like pariahs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago Stutter* permalink fedilink source parent [–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago What? Speak up. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PugJesus@lemmy.world [S] 20 points 2 years ago I dunno, I have a thing for monuments and I still find it aesthetically displeasing. It's pretty ugly. permalink fedilink source parent [–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Same here. If you have no attachment to the figures portrayed, it fails at the kind of gravitas that you'd think an entire mountainside would/should command. It's a strange thing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kaboom36@ani.social 16 points 2 years ago (1 child) I remember one of the massive air compressors they had on display there better than the monument itself...

Whoa! Whoa!...... What kind of psi? You said massive, was it mobile? Did it have any mods?.....
