Remember: the real reason Elon Musk bought Twitter was to influence the 2024 election & stop any kind of leftist organizing on the site

I don't know, I think it makes a lot more sense to assume that he's a dysfunctional fuck-up who's spending his mid-life crisis taking on a project he clearly can't handle.

I could see many billionaires doing that. But Musk is the same guy who built high speed one-way underground car tunnel with no room for emergency services instead of a fucking train. He doesn't have the capacity for such schemes.

Standing up for your values might be decided to be a pathology - If you're autistic

I think it probably scared the researchers too much that the "normal" neurotypical people were less likely to have moral values in any meaningful sense, so they tried (badly) to reframe it as neurodivergent people being bad. That's probably what they're used to believing in general, so they made an argument closer to their comfort zone instead of reporting the facts.

Kind of reaffirming the study, in a way.

Telling other people Im autistic be like

"You don't seem autistic" That's because I've spent my entire goddamn life trying to act and sound like you, because having no meaningful differences is a requirement to being treated with respect in this culture!

Sometimes people say that without being accusing, like they're just processing the information and learning what it means that autism is a spectrum. But even then, it's so hard not to be irrationally pissed when I hear that.

Solidarity with unions is something that should be celebrated, not whined about.

The entire OCM argument is stupid. There's no denying our society is fucked up beyond all reason. It doesn't justify the system, it just acknowledges it instead of living in a fantasy. Why are you being sour when you see people stand up for themselves and each other?
