I wonder how many autistic people in the middle ages became monks or nuns? You can:
- Live with a small number of people
- Do the same routine every day
- Eat the same food all the time
- Spend most of your day painstakingly hand-copying books

Like, I know some people that would go for that now.

If Trump actually manages to secure a lasting ceasefire in Gaza it will be the most extreme case of Worst Guy making a good point imaginable.

The Worst Guy from that ClickHole article, who I have found out is a drummer named Josep Maria Garcia.

Fuck you, Scott Moe, the worst politician in Canada. You will not have to live the ecological consequence of more oil and gas poisoning our ocean. Hell, you likely won't even be premier by the time a pipeline is built. Our coast is far more precious than oil company profits.

Sask. Premier Scott Moe repeated his support for the proposed pipeline between Alberta and the northern B.C. coast earlier this week by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.

It is wild to me how many people treat a vegetarian or vegan meal as a hardship.

New Army recruitments standards:
- Must have at least one white-supremacist tattoo (see SecDef for reference)
- Must not be able to grow a better beard than SecDef
- Women must be as strong as men (but no transwomen, even though we think they are too strong for women's sports)

Hegseth: "Today, at my direction, the era of unprofessional appearance is over. No more beardos ... if you don't meet the male-level physical standards for combat positions, cannot pass a PT test or don't want to shave and look professional, it's time for a new position."

Is that reason "Women meet the same standards as men and men start to feel bad about it?"

Also, I'm sure this will do wonders for the army's recruitment problems.
