I mean you are being ableist so of course it’s real. This isn’t a grey area. A tic has no meaning and isn’t an insult. The simple answer is basic education about the condition, yet seemingly Americans are immune to that.

In this case no there isn’t.

It literally had his prices and a link to his site. Come on.

Seemingly being the key word here. How do you think having people say you shouldn’t be allowed in public because of something you can no more control than your skin colour feels?

Oh right. I mean I’m short sighted and read a lot so definitely not making a value judgement. Just not sure OPs point that this was a moral panic is valid in this case.

But they’re right a lot of reading in childhood does cause myopia?

He won an award FFS. No people with Tourette’s should not be kept at home to make you more comfortable. WTF?

Hypnosis isn’t real and making peoples boobs bigger with hypnosis is extra not real.

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

I absolutely love this. Also feels like it should have a kids book spin off.

I think the leader being a charlatan does matter to be honest. It tells me something about his character that he was willing to lie and rip off desperate women.

In what was was it entirely made up? Are you claiming he didn’t give the interview? Why would they run a puff piece for a made up business for a random man?

It’ll all be right wing voters same as the economy questions in the states that track election results.

How is a puff piece willingly done by someone to promote their business a smear exactly?

Is this you committing to stopping blocking renewable energy projects Mr Polanski? Perhaps we might add housing to the list too?

Anyway Cory Doctorow explains it better than me, in case you're in doubt. And he's certainly no shill for Big Tech.

I don’t know about others but the UK called it illegal and refused use of bases until their base in Cyprus was attacked.

This is an awful take. I assume you’re American. Intent is a thing. A tic has no intent. The β€œjoke” is simply laughing at someone with a condition they can’t control and is some nasty shit.

I can think of nothing more British than bringing them back while mercilessly taking the piss TBH.

Hear hear.

Absolutely ruined me financially and mentally and there’s nothing you can do and an entire system rigged against you. Hope you’re OK.
