I'd like to call you "trusted", but frankly, I don't trust you when you do things like calling ABA the "gold standard" for autism therapy.

Perhaps because ABA is abuse. And perhaps you should be talking to autism self-advocacy groups about what the "gold standard" for therapy is.

Perhaps he should be asking how this came to be such a widespread fear. Maybe it was video games.

The world can always use more people talking about *real* science, especially now.

I would say he's Potterpilled. Scrooges can be redeemed, and even Grinches, but Mr. Potters are just scurvy little spiders.

Since X has created a machine for removing Glaze and in violation of the Glaze application creating derivative works via AI … I hope this comes up at the Class Action suit against X.

It's the same with the Star Trek fandom. Women Trekkies are indispensable to the franchise's survival, and yet men still get pissed when there's a starship crew *equally* balanced between men and women (or if someone who's neither gets included).

They say "prompted by chatrooms" like estrangement is the result of peer pressure. Maybe some people are vulnerable to that, maybe I myself have been in the past. But no social pressure is so great, especially from strangers, as to make me decide to cut myself off from someone I genuinely love.

I hope you feel better soon, if not by tomorrow, then at least by the new year. Happy Holidays.

If she is, then she's from a world that's remarkably okay with it. Peter was in love with her, no one in either of their families had a problem with her, and she didn't feel the need to bring it up with Miles once he started showing feelings for her, so she probably didn't think he'd care.

Yes, now. What's Christmas without ghosts? Andy Williams himself tried to keep the tradition of "scary ghost stories" alive (so to speak).

Congratulations! You can now buy *new* ones! (Or maybe you'll get them for presents tomorrow. Who knows?)

How "disappointed" can she be? She's supported Trump for years now, the man who said windmills cause cancer. What did she *actually* expect him to do?

...nothing like the wooden table instead of just making the wooden table look metal. Now, obviously, this is due to the limitations of TV-making in the 1990s, but I choose to believe the reason is because generative A.I. doesn't exist in the 24th century and holodecks only create what's "on file".

Lots of unrealistic tropes get used just because readers *want* things to be that way. I just don't know if that's reason enough to *write* it that way.
