You are waaaaaaay too online.

And leaders who are morally compromised and willing to break the law to get what they want, then brag about it

Again, neurotypical is *not* the opposite of autistic. It isn't used that way, it isn't defined that way, and it *certainly* isn't a value judgement.

By way of comparison, why do you use the term "autistic"? Why do you feel the need to slot those people into a category? Why other them?

Furthermore, "allistic" is not the same thing. Neurotypical means neurologically typical, based upon statistical observations. Allistic means "not autistic".

Please explain why *any* single term used to describe a statistical cohort wouldn't need to be altered if the neurological makeup of all of humanity changed *dramatically*. I'm sorry that "typical" offends your sensibilities, but it has absolutely no inherent qualitative aspect to it.

Your understanding of the term is flawed if you think it has much to do with psychology. Neurotype relates to psychology in the same way that height relates to basketball. Height does not guarantee any degree of success, just as being neurotypical does not guarantee a certain set of traits.

One does not preclude the other.

I mean, they definitely are. That's like saying nobody is typical height.

Right, yeah. But progressives and myopia control lenses, etc. are definitely expensive for a reason

Frames, yes.

Rear: Except my doctor but what does she know?

It's neurotypical, not neuronormal for that exact reason.

Proof that sometimes even broken clocks are right

The fastest reduction of poverty and inequality in recorded history was in the USSR under Stalin. All famines ended. 2nd-fastest growing economy in the 20th Century. Universal health care. Doubled life expectancy. Smashed the Nazis. Near-zero unemployment. All this according to US stats.

It appears to be

100%!!

If you stopped looping the goddamned Rogers ads, you'd retain a lot more!

Also: when you're being condescending for the narcissistic supply but tell yourself you're actually being bluntly honest

Half of that was Rogers ads. Half of THAT was that goddamned one with the Asian family dancing. The rest is their valiant attempt to make me hate Keanu.

They need them, they're a measure of security. That need is key to capitalism sucking ass.

Ugh. Cancel it already, my god.

Well, no. But that's definitely a take.

Now publish it in a real paper!

I was that guy. No longer! Didn't realize it was the Brewers imploding after dominating so hard in the regular season, and not the Dodgers rising above.

I mean, Reagan was wrong here, and lying through his teeth as usual. Tariffs are a good thing when wielded correctly, as they were at that time. NAFTA (the thing he's proselytizing about here) decimated manufacturing in both countries by removing tariffs.

Yeah but they were clones though, ICE isn't clones. Are they??

And this introspection, unique among his kin, is what led LBJ to conclude the import of shitting with the door open

I promise to build a new Earth if they elect my ass
