Seriously. My cats are so relaxed because they get their food at the exact same times every day. I still hand feed the first and last meals (canned wet food), but it gives them something to look forward to during the day, even when we are at work.

They can also apparently tell time now because they get ready within five minutes of most feedings, I like to think that makes them feel more connected to their world and existence.

For the vast majority of customers that aren’t looking to spend close to a grand for a card that is infinitesimally better than a card for half the price, AMD has plenty to offer.

Teachers aren’t in charge of school policies and generally aren’t even decision makers past the lowest levels of discipline.

One of the most common types of bullying in the US is the use of zero tolerance anti bullying rules as a mechanism for bullying.

Example: kid A punches kid B. Then immediately kid A reports kid B for bullying him because kid A knows how the bullying rules work (because they are a bully). Then kid B gets in trouble for getting bullied.

Typically kid A’s parents will enthusiastically back then too because their kid “gets bullied all the time” while kid Bs parents aren’t experienced with the policies and aren’t positive that their kid didn’t do something wrong (because they are normal parents), so they don’t fight it too hard and just want it to go away.

Ask any teacher in the US and they will tell you that they see this all the time and most every kid that supposedly “gets bullied all the time” is doing exactly this.

We let people get so fucking rich that everything they do is newsworthy because it actually impacts a ton of people.

The real problem is that we don’t actually need rich people in the first place.

The question is about kids on purpose because children play games of pretend differently than how adults play D&D. You can be VERY autistic and find D&D to be rewarding because it’s not JUST about collaborative imagination.

The exact opposite. Autistic children have difficulty engaging in games with collaborative imagination.

Someone didn’t like their result and responded by being super autistic about it.

Whatever score you got, it probably wasn’t high enough.

There should be an option for: “I’m to autistic to take this test.”

Is that how you close an account at a retail bank? Last time I did that it required sitting down with a manager and I still had to go in twice before they actually did it.

It’s amusing since that audio compression is the reason why my pirated copy of interstellar is actually watchable as opposed to the streaming version which leaves your eardrums bleeding.

Let’s just apply fucking loot box mechanics to everything in our lives.

I can only watch interstellar on my bedroom TV because I’ve maxed out the audio compression to watch things at low volume, I can actually understand what anyone in that movie is saying.

Trump hasn’t said the truth about one thing his entire life.

Don’t worry, there is a slightly less senile and marginally more human out of touch old man with bad ideas here to save us. Lucky us, I know I’m inspired to be led by shitty old man A or shitty old man B.

I’ve had a 95 V8 f150 and a 94 4cyl ranger that I consider to be about the perfect expression of the two most useful trucks ever made. There just isn’t anything like them anymore.

A big part of the problem is that they just don’t make small affordable trucks anymore.

The tiny little Ford ranger of the 90s used to be the cheapest car at a Ford dealership. The current ranger is only a couple inches smaller than the f150 and costs a couple grand less, if you can even find one.

I know a half dozen people that worked get out the vote efforts to get Trump out of office who are going to be staying home this year. How many votes do you think that adds up to?

A few more “victories” like that and we’re all going to be in the bread lines.

They aren’t going to vote for Trump, they just aren’t going to vote for Biden, and they aren’t going to tell their friends to vote, and they aren’t going to get out the vote in their communities or drive people to the polls.

Imagine a politically active person last election went to their mosque or temple and made sure that their elders had a ride to the polls and the young people got registered to vote and people understood the issues.

Now imagine that she decides that she isn’t going to put in those efforts for a person that rubber stamps genocide and lies about how poor everyone she knows has gotten.

Not one person in this story voted for Trump, but how many votes did Biden lose?

You need to stop seeing this as a binary problem because that’s exactly why Democrats keep losing against weak unpopular candidates.
