It's like saying "once the feds decide someone is guilty of a crime, locking them up for life is fine," and completely ignoring whether the person is (or has been found by a jury to be) guilty. Sure, most people agree prison is necessary, but the process by which people end up there matters.

Also, the author implies that Mahmoud Khalil's case is comparable to one about which he says, "once Virginia decided to deport the three arrivals, they no longer had the state’s consent."
A bit part of the issue is the process behind making that decision to deport someone.

They’re faint but were visible about two hours ago in Virginia (may still be in parts, but clouds rolled in to my neck of the woods).

Warner is up for reelection next year, whereas Kaine isn't up until 2030. The caucus met to decide who would take the risk of voting with the GOP, so that as many dems as possible could pretend to have a spine.

And I’m sure part of it is due to the “mental health emergencies” part, but I’m still not overly inclined to put much weight in their numbers without more details on their methodology.

In fairness, this is in Forbes, and I imagine AI probably could easily replace the value its target audience provides to their employers and society at large, at least based on the Forbes readers I’ve run into in the wild.

Yep, head gasket was the continuing source of problems with our 2003 Forester. Also some rust issues with various exhaust parts but that’s mostly due to salt during the winters, not it being a Subaru.

Small sample size, etc., but if I had to pick which vehicle I’d trust the most to get me from point A to point B, my Wrangler would come in second to my Corolla but ahead of the other 5+ brands I’ve owned or regularly driven. (That said, it’s by far the least comfortable.)

I loved my Subaru but it’s the least reliable 4-wheeled vehicle I’ve owned. They aren’t terrible but don’t begin to approach Toyota. My Jeep is a collection of iffy noises, but has never had any serious issues even when driven daily. (My Hondas have all been used motorcycles so not comparable.)

Also, to be fair to the paper's authors, they may not actually have thought that autism was a single condition. It's possible (likely?) that they presented it that way due to it being the "common" view, and as a way to emphasize the importance of their research into the different subtypes. (5/4)

If you’ve ever met multiple people with the same diagnosis, it should be immediately obvious that there are usually multiple different subtypes with multiple potential causes. Diagnoses are mostly just a guide to help predict the best treatments to try first, iff the patient wants treatment. (4/4)

For example, I’ve been diagnosed with depression, ADHD, and subclinical anxiety, and they all (based on life observations and medication response) stem from my body processing adrenaline in an atypical way. You can also end up with those same diagnoses via many other biological routes. (3/)

ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, and probably a lot of other DSM5 diagnoses are the result of a wide range of inputs, and have a wide range of subtypes. They’re also all interrelated and interacting. (2/)
