"if the US falls, you will be next"

Yeah, and that's effectively you (as a group) threatening me, isn't it? For stuff that's going on in your country? That I had no influence on? Why do you expect me to do anything but prepare to defend myself?

I won't be saving your country from your own mess, no. And as a non-local I would be less than useless even if I did cross the border. What I will be doing, however, is preparing to the best of my ability myself and my home community against a fascist US.

Besides, that wasn't the point of my comment. The point of my comment is that the fascists in charge won't hesitate to use violence against you. If you choose to not defend yourself from it, then you're sitting ducks, and they get free reign. It has nothing to do with "bloodlust". It's about defending yourself from an abuser. Why did you assume I tried to shame you? I'm not the original commenter.

It's not about bloodlust, it's about not being sitting ducks

It's your country that's falling apart, it's going to affect primarily you (at first, and then the rest of the world)

Seriously! I don't understand why this is such a hard concept to grasp

Just because it's a passive or hidden violence, or done from a complete disregard of people, doesn't make it less violent towards the affected

It's like the whole thing of how "murder is bad but war is acceptable". Like, why is one perceived so different just because it's state sanctioned? It's considered abhorrent to talk about violently removing a war criminal from their position of harm. It's complete nonsense

So are antidepressants

I don't get your point

Frankly, governments should always have gone full Linux. Or other FLOSS alternatives

I see no reason for preferring corporate controlled services, especially by corporations not in your jurisdiction, to FLOSS that you can have full control over, and in the worst case can take over development or help direct it

Another comment mentioned that she did, in fact, elaborate this right after

"The banality of evil"

"everyone's punching up" ignores the influence of personality and compatibility though

To me appearance isn't that important (as long as it's feminine), what is though, us how much I like their personality, and that's not only subjective, but also something that can be worked on. Moreover, if you like someone's personality, chances are they like yours too, because at that point a lot of it is about compatibility as well (if I like someone who likes DnD, chances are they do the same, right?)

Humans are too much of social creatures for it to be a simple measure of "who's hotter" evolutionary speaking

Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo

A loooot of the research necessary to make our cutting edge chips still comes from academia

Frankly at this point self-diagnosis shouldn't be as demonized as it is. Because getting a diagnosis is, 1. Expensive, 2. Involved as all hell sometimes, 3. Not all professionals being great, and 4. In certain countries cough the US cough, it gets you literally put on a list

I say this as someone who is diagnosed. Just preface any statements you make with you not being professionally diagnosed and that you think you might likely have it and such, and you should be fine. Ultimately the point of the diagnosis is to help you. If you feel like the autistic framework is useful to understanding yourself, use it.

Tin is a pretty rare metal, so I doubt it makes much sense to make much out of it if you can use something else like aluminium or plastics imstead
