well my days of not taking James Cameron seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

I swear to god, these gamer bros are just transvestigators in a very poor disguise.
I’ve tried some KN95s with earhooks and a nose piece (the least uncomfortable), a couple different varieties of 3M N95/Aura masks, some other brand’s N95 masks, and they’re all varying degrees of awful sensory. unless there’s a mask that magically doesn’t feel like I have something on my face, I don’t think a comfortable mask exists for me.
today is my 2nd tranniversary!
…and the date of my first intramuscular injection, which I think is a neat little crossover episode (I was doing subcutaneous injections before but started getting an allergic reaction several weeks back, and before that I was taking pills sublingually but even the max oral dose didn’t get my levels where the dr. wanted ‘em).
how do you know he’s autistic?
while you were arguing that marxism means clicking through to articles, I was studying the blade (nah jk that’s a link to the paper the article was based on). the paper’s author states that they’re autistic and they both use and personally prefer identity-first language in their positionality statement:
If Marxists are to be effective, we need to understand the world around us, so we should do some investigation.
I think we may just not agree on this part, comrade – it’s my belief that understanding the likely reasons behind the choice of headline is part of understanding the world around us, and reacting to the headline is a reaction to media bias and, to an extent, the general public’s thought patterns. while reading the article itself is well and good, an evaluation of the headline alone is also valuable.
okay but genuinely what is DEI chin?
It’s not that they don’t care or even think COVID is over, they just don’t have the effort to keep it up.
gonna be honest, I fall into this cyclically at this point. when nobody else cares, it really sucks to be the one person in 100 who’s bothering to mask, especially bc the primary benefits of masking are seen when the infector is wearing one, not the infectee.
like, it’s disheartening, uncomfortable, and potentially not even protecting me that much; I’m still masking when I go to places where I’ll be breathing a lot of others’ air, but it sucks to feel like it’s not actually helping me much.
scientist is publishing a good study. in a vacuum we’re happy about this. it’s a good development. But the headline centers the bad worldview of the editors and maybe laymen.
well yeah, the scientist is an autist, and the editor may or may not be. I’d argue the dichotomy is shown perfectly in this example, actually – autistic scientist publishes research about how autistic people have deep emotional lives, newspaper editor interprets it as “omg autistic people have emotions?!”
I want everybody to stop headline reacting.
then headlines should stop having shitty takes. the fault is not on those reacting to something shitty, it’s on the person doing the shitty thing.
I am well aware that headlines are shit and written by an editor rather than the author, but I disagree that reacting to them is wrong. the headline is what the publication chose to lead with, and shows the tone they wanted people to be led into the article with. the headline is arguably more in tune with what the general populace would read and identify with than the content of the article, since its entire purpose is to grab potential readers’ attention.
I think if allistics want autistics to not react to their shit takes, they should stop publishing headlines that alienate and demonize us.
the fact that the article takes a more sympathetic tone is nice, but does not negate the fact that the headline is both offensive and just downright awful.
also kinda absurd to think we should go to the effort of finding and reading the article when it’s not linked in the OP or the linked tweet and the headline is this fucking hurtful already.
I’m sorry but, what the actual fuck is wrong with allistics?
a fucking revelation?! shape better therapy strategies?! how about shaping a more holistic approach to understanding people and interacting socially and allowing neurodivergent people to be themselves? how about spend an hour talking to an autistic person while actually considering how they react to things rather than assuming we’re emotionless computers just because we don’t use the same social cueing criteria as allistics?
jesus fucking christ this headline got me riled.
looks like you can indeed repackage any PS2 game to run on any PS3 running HEN firmware, per this post.
I mean, you could similarly reason that bisexuals aren’t welcome (both gays and lesbians are solely attracted to the same sex, after all), or that asexuals aren’t welcome (you can be asexual and heteroromantic, after all), and so on. I think, ultimately, that unity between us is important, and allowing the umbrella to protect all members of gender, romantic, and sexual minorities strengthens the overall cause rather than weakening it.
ah that’s good to know. though I would note it stemmed from a comment by Stein herself in an AMA on reddit, not just random redditors making up conspiracies.
still not voting for her over Claudia & Karina, though.
PSL is already on the ballot in 20 states now and a GA judge blocked them being added to the ballot, so there’s now a court battle
are they cool at all?
Jill Stein has aligned herself with anti-vaxxers so I’m gonna have to go with no on that one
This is not sorta the law of equivalent exchange.
Best I could find is this copy on imgur.
Beetlejuice (2025)?
I’m waiting for the Zionism Crystal Plus fan rom hack that combines both, personally
