IT nerd. Late dx #autistic, #ADHD. Ace. Antifa. Lots of interests in STEM stuff and related law and public policy.
And then they doubled down, not only building the "super" hydrogen bomb but also creating an entire industry producing tens of thousands of these weapons. And they planned to use the weapons. The US plan alone will kill one third of the world's population if enacted.
... and Trump...

The scene where the main character was misdiagnosed with childhood psychosis was heartbreaking and all to real.

We don't hand out pardons to people who assault the police or violently attack our politicians. Be prepared to be deported back to the shithole country you came from.

Not the point; but what is plant based meet? ... or a peach tree dish?

I know the slogan has got a lot of hate, but the idea of a strong floor in social services is essential. Whether that is UBI or some other form of support for housing, food, and healthcare. To put someone in prison instead of social housing is stupid and immoral.

My mother had a saying when we were young and something went wrong.
She said "it's better than a slap in the face with a wet fish".

And there was that time my sister got her hands on some metallic sodium and some white phosphorous.
Fun times!

Mostly agreed.
So how is it that Israel is allowed to actually destroy another country?
Doesn't the same morality apply both ways?
Genocide is bad, including Israel's actual genocide in Gaza and Iran's threatened genocide in Israel.
Unless you want a double standard?

So here's a thing. I WISH I had a parent who had the open and honest approach shown by Becky and Hillary. Maybe then I would have understood that asexuality is a thing and I would not have spent most of my life feeling broken because I had no interest in sexual relationships.

This is my first. I plan to get another with an autistic theme.

The results have always been fabulous. For the wealthy and those with capital to invest. For everyone else there is poverty, sickness, and incarceration.
A truly fabulous result would include healthcare, housing, and social services. Hell, lots of working people cannot even afford food.
Fabulous?

Yes.

Doh!
Thank you.

This is going to be a stupid question; but how can you get water up to 200 degrees?!?
You'd need maybe 100 atmospheres of pressure...

OTOH I will wear my Daily Tism hoodie any time I feel good about it. Making something normal and visible is a good way to slowly break prejudice, I think.

Imagine a situation where needing to go to the toilet when not at home leads to fear about whether you will be accosted or assaulted by some random stranger.
Of course that is going to affect your stress and anxiety.

A manufacturer cannot grant the privilege of breaking the law.
If there are laws where you drive against distracted driving, then you cannot text while driving.
Statements from Tesla or Musk do not override or change the law.
