often leading to serious medical and social complications.
Often is a quantitative qualifier that requires some actual statistical data to back up. Not a random article about a specific person or a TheSun online poll, but actual scientific stats. A whole lot of what you say has a massive aura of “feels” backed up by choice anecdotes and actual factoids.

“My soul searching” is long done. I have seen how some fare and end up in life over a long time, irl and online. How they themselves talk about it all without the activism present. It’s often very bleak and hopeless. What they went through did not fix anything. Do you think this has gotten better or worse over these years as we now see the side effects of ignoring the dangers and problems?
Where I live, having autism can very well disqualify one from serving in the military. An extra evaluation is required. Operating heavy vehicles require a similar evaluation if one is impaired in any way.
No “facts”, as you call them, are made up. Sources are provided.
The term “Aspergers’’ is no longer in use. High functioning autism is now the term used. In a high functioning autist it is not a question about intelligence usually but ability to function socially and deal with stress or unexpected situations.
@The Smiling Pony
In this case it’s not an issue until it’s the key issue. Sports, locker rooms, healthcare, reproduction and probably more. Take your pick. Pretending biological sex is nonexistent will have strange consequences eventually.
@Ereiam
“Phobia”. Indicating a fear of something. Not having concern for young people starting out with this but fearing them. Incorrectly used here.

It’s like there’s no connection between what you say at one point and what you say to responses to your comments just a few moments later. In one post you’re all “logic and science” then in the next there’s nothing but deeply personal concerns, lamenting the imagined suffering of unknown others.
Or is it you suffering?
Odds are you’ll reply to this with an entirely different vector, as if it’s yet another entirely different conversation with an entirely different person.
That, for me, is a part of why your posts all seem composed from other sources. They all “sound good” as sound bites, but it’s just a collage of what others said, with no editor making sure it all is a coherent line of thought.
And you throw in unrelated things like “term “Aspergers’’ is no longer in use” as it you’re correcting something that I said that was wrong, which would normally serve as a sign of wisdom on your part and maybe, through exposing my own slip-up, make your point. But no one in this thread has mentioned Aspergers for 2 years aside from yourself - so you’re just creating things to be right about that no one else was even discussing. Or defining a component of a word as if that somehow proves you’re too clever to be a transphobe, while apparently being entirely ignorant that Transphobia does not describe a phobia as defined in clinical psychology, but has a meaning and usage that parallels xenophobia.
You’re fixing things that weren’t broke, and defining parts of classical compounds without replying to the actual point being made, like someone who wants to give the appearance of being correct and knowledgeable, without ever actually acknowledging or even apparently comprehending the other person’s point.
I, as always, await your copy/pasted collage-art reply, along with its usual sesquipedalian loquaciousness and utter disregard for anything anyone was actually talking about.

You brought up autism and mental illness, and I think it may be time you follow your own advice and go get yourself checked out by a professional rather than have everyone around you pretend you’re OK.

I love how homophobes, transphobes, islamophobes and xenophobes always use semantics to nitpick about their label as if it invalidates their bigotry somehow.
Hate to break it to you folks, but I don’t think “I’m not afraid of LGBT/Muslim/foreign people, I just don’t like them” is the flex you think it is.

What has Rudy Giuliani been up to? Well apparently he’s been evading the law. Giuliani was the last person to need indictment over the Arizona election fraud case. Apparently the deadline was a day away for him to be served those indictments, so the FBI was against the clock.
Giuliani released a video taunting the FBI about it, while basically admitting to the crime. Well internet sleuths did their thing and was able to pinpoint his location. The FBI was then able to serve him his indictments, and they did so at his 80th Birthday party no less.
One the one hand, it’s a bit comforting to know that the people trying to end our democracy are really fucking stupid. On the other, it’s pretty concerning just how easily or close these people are to ending our democracy despite being really fucking stupid.

It still amazes me that people can look at a thrice divorced, twice impeached, multiple times bankrupt dude with almost 100 indictments, and go “Yes I’m going to vote for that.”
Moreover, how you can think a guy who has drove multiple business into the ground with said bankruptcies is “better with the economy”.

I mean, not even counting how he spent his entire first term saying how other countries with lifetime leaders were superior to our system of government, Dear Leader sicced a mob of The Hills Have Eyes rejects on the Capitol because he was mad he wasn’t going to be Eternal President.
It’s not just that Trump repeatedly says to get rid of the Constitution, he repeatedly tries to abolish it as well.

The thing that gets me is that people seem to be giving him a pass for everything that happened in 2020 and 2021. “Are you better off now than you were four… er, five years ago?”
I kind of get it though, because we’re treating COVID and January 6 the way we treat every unpleasant part of American history.

Maybe my history classes were different from yours, but mine taught us about our history of pseudo-slavery after the civil war, how many people were for eugenics an fucking up the reproductive systems of non-white people before we learn the Nazis were doing the same, and how racism is still alive and well in our justice system. Oh, and went we exported a mass of American civilians due to them having Latino blood.

My elementary school legit still called the civil war “the war of northern aggression”.
Thankfully my parents pulled me out of that district and my middle and high school was much less shit.

I mean, there’s reports that there’s celebrations in Iran complete with fireworks over this news. If he was that unpopular then it’s probably more likely to be an inside job, if it wasn’t mechanical failure.
