He’s a little boy wearing little boy pants.

A vast amount of it used to be Mexico.

I should have realized!

It doesn’t count if you can’t see it!

Kelvin is the only legitimate way to measure temperature. Everything else is trivia. Duh.

Edit: I don’t have time for your downvotes. It’s 277 degrees outside and I don’t have a clean sweater.

None of these cameras measure things in Kelvin, the only temperature scale that matters. Disappointing.

Heroin.

Oh no, they invited China in, you see. Because they were being oppressed and they totally aren’t now. Totally.

Good luck now that you’ve said that. You’re going to be savaged by a certain type of vegan in PM. I was spammed by one this morning and I didn’t even mention animal products recently as far as I know.

(There are decent vegans, but then there are the asshole type who feel like they can berate and harass people into veganism.)

I’m 100% in favor of fair capitalism.

How funny! I am 100% in favor of magic pixie dust!

Yes, and that’s ridiculous. It’s part of the “everything he does is a distraction from the really bad stuff” argument I keep seeing on Lemmy. Except it isn’t. He’s doing a shit ton of damage right out in the open right after saying he’s going to do it.

Don’t believe him on firing a ton of government employees? Don’t believe him on tariffs? Don’t believe him on mass deportations? No, all of that is a distraction. And why don’t the people affected realize that when they should be not believing him since this is all a distraction?

“Don’t believe him” might as well be “ignore the suffering.”

but most are

Evidence please.

You’re also arguing that it both is and is not a disease. It can’t be both.

And you still haven’t explained why people want to be “cured.” Homosexuality used to be considered a disease that can be cured too, by the way. And there are still parents who force their kids into those “cures.” That is what you are advocating here, except for autism. As if people with autism have no agency.

Where is your evidence that autism is a disease? Because that’s the sort of shit Autism Speaks says.

Why do you even thing autistic people want to be “cured?”

I am so fucking tired of people treating autism like it’s some horrible disease worse than death.

It’s just a different way of viewing and reacting to the world.

Are some autistic people severely intellectually disabled? Sure. Plenty of non-autistic people are too.

These antivaxxers act like if you kid is going to be autistic, you might as well have never had a kid.

And then on top of that, you have big antivaxxer proponent Jenny McCarthy saying she cured her son’s autism, so why did she make such a big fucking deal about it?

Incidentally, it’s been scrubbed from the web, but there used to be a website where Jenny McCarthy wrote an essay about how her son was an “indigo child,” which meant he was going to grow up to be superhuman with all sorts of amazing powers. It contained the unforgettable line, “after my son was born, I quit smoking.”

Edit: Ha! I found it on the Wayback Machine! And I was wrong about what she said. What she said was worse.

As all of you know, being a mother changes you in ways that you never thought you could imagine. I went from chain smoking and eating cheeseburgers to Hepa air filters and eating vegetarian after my son was born

This is in no way a defense of Elon. He is a horrible Nazi and he hates Jews and I’m a Jew.

That said, I’m not seeing where he brought up the Holocaust. He made a bunch of very offensive puns regarding Nazi leadership, but unless I missed it, nothing about the Holocaust. All the critical responses seem to mention it so maybe I’m missing it?

I guess I feel like “makes Holocaust jokes” is just unnecessary hyperbole when what he said was awful enough.

Which means that this is the new norm.

You still think there will be a legitimate next election. Amazing.

I have heard that so many times now…

You’re missing what so many people seem to be missing because I keep seeing people say things like this: they do not care about the law. They don’t care. And now they don’t have to care.

And yet, with all of her physical flaws, he’s clearly the one with the real flaws.

Don’t body shame, she’s disabled.
