They weren't sued for helping take care of people. It was a misleading headline. Theyre getting sued for failing to commit to taking care of stock holders.

Paying me something barely over minimum wage makes them an asshole. We're even.

"Masking" and "natural" kinda contradict each other

No they literally don't. It is in my nature to mask. Whether it's engrained in me since childhood, or it's part of my DNA, I only know how to mask, and it's very difficult for me not to. It's MY nature, it's natural to me. I do not make a conscious effort to mask.

Also for your first point, I typed out a whole article, realized it was preachy and entitled, then deleted it. Tbh, I probably shouldnt have made the comment at all. But Ive been fortunate enough that my depression never affected my need to shower. I attribute that to my autistic nature of 1) masking and 2) routine. Whether that's the truth or not idk.

The point I was trying to make, and failed to do so, was that autism comes in many flavors. Mine apparently does the opposite of yours where I'm very self conscious about how I look, sound, and smell. I am confident that I don't stink and I'm not nose blind to it cause I am so worried that I don't smell pleasant, that I constantly take additional measures to fit in just like everyone else would.

I'm pretty fucking autistic, and I've never used nose blindness as an excuse to carry my stink out of my house.

Now to be clear, I've also dealt with depression, and my environment has not always been the cleanest. I have had a depression den in the past. But I always put an effort into separating my clean clothes from my room stink, and making sure I always showered before I left the house.

But I also have the high masking flavor of autism, so maybe that's why that level of effort has come naturally.

LMAO, brother fucking stinks and nobodies bothered to tell them.

We use soap to wash away the stubborn oils that cling to our skin. Water can wash away the dirt and some of the scents, but over time that oil and musk is gonna build up and give you the sort of funk that's reminiscent of dry aged beef and a crawl space.

You may think you don't stink, but thats cause you're nose blind. I've met many people who don't believe in soap, and they all have the same muskiness to them. It varies from person to person, sometimes it's not THAT bad, but it's always there.

Grandson is starting to creep further and further into just becoming Rage Against The Machine. And it just feels right.

Small correction, it's an event that happened 5 months ago. The United healthcare CEO died December 4.
