Cool.

Lol no those days are long over. Now everyone can afford clothing designed to be worn just once or twice and made from plastic.

And the worst part is, even though it started with "fast fashion" brands like Shein, now every brand has low quality plastic clothes. You can pay more if you want, but you're getting polyester.

And let's say you take out a second mortgage and spring for real silk, wool, cotton, or linen, you're still going to get shitty quality construction.

Or Gouda. For extra fun while you're there, pronounce Gouda the way it's typically said in English and watch the Dutchies flinch as little parts of their soul leave their bodies.

So you haven't contributed anything of use. Gotcha.

Lol she's an academic who has undoubtedly contributed to the body of historical knowledge on the this topic and has written this article which will reach tens of thousands of people, but you're calling her a coward who won't help fight fascism.... What have you done, exactly?

If I ever find myself in that kind of serfdom without a dime in my pocket, I will put on my shoes and start walking.

...Okay Denmark.

Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.

Now I'm in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month. I don't remember what my plan is but it's something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.

Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

You forgot the grandiosity.

Lol are you saying that their deaths are inevitable?

Ideally the US would, you know, stop sending weapons and condemn Israel's actions, while putting pressure on other countries to do the same. At the very least.

Yes I'm well aware of these things. My point was that it's a little silly to believe Harris would have been better purely on the basis that she wouldn't develop the land for personal profit after helping facilitate the complete eradication of a people.

I don't think that's what you personally believe, but it was not super clear from your original comment.

Yes, the real problem here is the real estate development and not the deaths of millions of people.

"Actual woman"? Yikes.

The RFK Jr episodes also led me to believe that RFK Jr is probably not as neurotypical as he probably wants to think.

Which is not surprising considering the amount of hatred and seething rage that some unrecognized neurodivergent people (primarily low support needs) have for anyone exhibiting neurodivergent traits.

After years of social rejection (especially by family) and being denied support, many neurodivergent people learn to mask their traits at all costs. So when they see others openly express their traits or receive accommodations, it can feel deeply triggering, even infuriating. This resentment often fuels a cycle of shame and suppression that repeats across generations in ND families

Most of the late-diagnosed autistics/ADHDers in my circle have experienced abuse from undiagnosed autistic/ADHD parents. These parents, having been forced to mask their traits due to less obvious support needs, often harshly suppress the same traits in their children to avoid stigma.

Some people who’ve struggled want to ease the path for others; others believe everyone should struggle as they did. The latter are the ones who go on to try to abuse their kids (and sometimes a whole country) out of being neurodivergent.

Also, the term Asperger's was coined in Nazi Germany to help determine which patients with autism (back then considered a subgroup of schizophrenia) were fit for labor camps and which were destined for death camps.

Which is part of the reason we don't use the label Asperger's anymore.

Why does one have to be correct? It seems like both are happening.

Then take your posts down and stop spreading misinfo.

Agree, but I think that's a separate issue entirely. I think the concept of porn addiction specifically comes up as an excuse for all kinds of depraved acts, from cheating to pedophilia to rape.

It also gives a somewhat conscience-alleviating name to the overwhelming psychological stress that many religious people feel when they experience the cognitive dissonance of enjoying something so "evil" and "sinful", as the article discusses. An ex of mine, who was raised in a much stricter baptist family, had real, serious trauma from it.

Every single time I have heard someone repeat it, it was in a "fun fact" way and not in a joking way.

She, but thank you, this was my point exactly.

I speak the language fluently; that's not the problem.

It's the fact that there are a much smaller number of books available on most topics because the country is so small.
