@yrfatfriend.bsky.social As someone who has studied with and worked with CSci majors for over 30 years - you are definitely picking up on something real. Many do come to believe that they are smarter than everyone and have the secrets of the universe figured out.

"It can only good happen." Folks, my autism has been cured!

I really think that a lot of people, when they can't understand someone, but they have the trappings of wealth, assume they can't understand because they (the listener) don't understand. Rich people can be dumb, too.

(I realize that I write as poorly as he does, but I work in IT.)

Oh, how sad.

Just watched part of a clip of Bernie questioning RFK. Couldn't watch the whole thing. We absolutely need upper age limits for service in government.

Thanks. Yeah. A better dad would have been great, but I've had time to grieve and have made peace with it. But these boomer bigots all act like we've made these choices because Dad said he didn't like our tattoo or something. Actually, they are decisions that take years of abuse to get people to.

Like, he has said he does not love me anymore because of life choices (like, not being a 48-year-old virgin, not being married, not going to church). He thinks my friends and loved ones should be dead for how they live their lives or who they are. Why should anyone tolerate just hate and abuse?

I haven't completely cut out my family, but have no relationship with my dad because of politics. It's not just in the last decade, it has taken 40+ years to build. The last decade has just been exponentially worse. He is abusive. Not just political disagreements, actual abuse, politically motivated

Men - if all your dating profile pics have friends in them odds are 99% or higher that your friends are cuter than you. So please don't post the group photos, it just makes me sad lol.

Yep, I guess my way of writing is confusing, because I'm saying the same thing as you.

Though, I disagree that someone can just stop being racist without help. It could be a therapist, or some other professional, but I can't see someone who would shoot up a place, "stopping" without a lot of help.

Yeah, I think we're saying the same thing. These are not mental illnesses and you can't treat/"fix" them as such. But just like "thoughts and prayers" and other deflection methods, it's doing nothing to solve the real problem.

Yeah, I think we're saying the same thing. When someone is filled with hate, which is a social, political, religious, etc problem gets a gun and does this, saying "oh, he's mentally ill" is just ignoring the problem. It's as good as "thoughts and prayers".

Like, box breathing is not going to make you recognize others as human.

This argument already bugs me. Racism, misogyny, homophobia, hate - which are behind a lot of mass shootings - are not recognized as mental illnesses. Maybe, maybe, a willing person, with a great therapist, can grow from those issues in therapy, but these shooters are not going to do that.

Doc Marten boots - purple and pink plaid fabric. Doc Marten loafers - hot pink suede.

The 90s are back and they brought Docs!

I have stayed mostly away for a few months. Will have to remember to text you from time to time!

Reminds me of the "apolitical" or "moderate" guys on dating apps who are 420-friendly, want to have casual sex, and would expect a woman to be on the pill or get an abortion.

Fuck you. You only get a trad wife, have to grow your own food, can only eat at Cracker Barrel, and have to raise 12 kids.

Watching a YT video - white people who "Triple Trumped" should not be allowed to watch professional sports, eat at ethnic restaurants, listen to music except for country. No food processed by POC.

Still have to do the official testing, but after the intake, the psych called me a "high IQ autistic".

Who knew that checking out the max number of books from the library every week and spending my summer hiding in the closet reading/writing wasn't typical?
