Wow. There was just zero reason for him to say anything. Nobody is accusing Fortnite of being unsafe for kids. And he chose to say that. For himself.

This is normal . They think that saying hello to people you know is being polite and that polite people still don’t treat the people they hate badly. It’s not just women. I had a prolonged issue with a male coworker involving that.

It’s just part of our mating dance. It feels good and gets us in the mood.

Possibly, and you could possibly be injured while being arrested and then charged with committing some crime along the lines of interfering with law enforcement.

The actual way to fight immigration enforcement is to convince your neighbors that immigrants aren’t hurting them.

Social media in general attracts autistic people, because it’s much easier to socialize without being judged or excluded.

By definition Autism and ADHD are disabilities that negatively impact your life relative to other people.

It’s important to have a word to label what the issue is in a neutral way, because if you don’t use the word autism, you get called words like “weird,” “creepy,” “stupid,” or the r-word. When none of those things are true. Your brain just doesn’t intuitively understand things the way other peoples’ does.

The ADA defines a person with a disability as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activity. Socialization is a major life activity. Loneliness is a major cause of depression of death, and not being able to socialize well impacts your ability to maintain employment. When these issues aren’t managed, your ability to function in society is significantly impaired.

To me, this post is no different from saying “You’re not dyslexic, you just needed to try harder in spelling class.” When people have an issue, telling them it doesn’t exist isn’t helpful.

If it were me, personally, I’d prioritize every effort on putting as many of the people who broke the law in jail as possible, especially via state courts, and remove everyone who acted in an authoritarian fashion who did not explicitly break the law. And when I say prioritize, I mean we’re cutting budgets from other departments to fund hundreds of more judges, hundreds of more investigators, hundreds of more prosecutors. Failing to do that was Biden’s biggest mistake. He wanted to govern with gentleman’s agreements and cordiality like a normal president. But the rules don’t exist unless they’re enforced, so it’s time to enforce them.

one time when I was talking about a video I saw about Moldova, someone commented “I rarely see people know about my country”. Moldova is on Ukraine’s southwestern border (so opposite of the Russian side). It’s mostly impoverished rural backwater, and its city is in decay from the soviet era.

no, you do in fact need grains and fruits.

I’ve found that buying shoes online usually goes badly, but buying shoes in person also usually goes badly. At least online you have a chance of something you like and that fits. If it’s in your budget, maybe a custom shoe maker would be the best route. The issue for me there is that it’s difficult to find one who makes a vegan shoe, and I imagine you’d likewise have an issue finding someone who makes stilettos.

I think it’s a myth that your online accounts can’t be connected to you. Even if you’re exclusively using burner phones connected through a VPN, people could trace you if they really wanted to. I’m honest online and in person, and I’ll accept the consequence of anything I post.
