Romney got hurt by that video where he said some Americans are worthless because they don't pay taxes because they're old or a disabled veteran or poor. But honestly he was never gonna beat Barack Obama, it probably only cost him 1-2% points in the popular vote. No one changed their mind about Romney after that but it might have motivated a few people who wouldn't have bothered to vote to vote for Obama.

Skwirl posted:I have Asperger's and therefore phrenology is real. Bit of a way's back but yeah it won't shock anyone that a whole lot of autistics-- not going to subdivide further than that-- are massive assholes who absolutely try to use the disorder as a crutch to justify being a piece of human garbage, and a sad number greatly overestimate how subtle they are about their actual motives and methods. quote:Also I'm pretty sure anyone who calls it Asperger's in 2022 definitely self diagnosed. People who call themselves "Aspergers" in 2022 fall into a few categories with significant overlap and they're all sad: 1. People whose self image relies on them being better than others in their group-- "I'm autistic, but I'm not like, autistic-autistic. I'm one of you, but I'm not one of you. Like we're the same, but I'm just a bit better. Wait why are you telling me to go gently caress myself? You're the real bigot!" 2. People who got diagnosed 20+ years ago and never updated their education, still thinking the autism spectrum is a line of "high" and "low" and not a plastic radar graph of environmentally-influenced variables. Stubborn old mules here. 3. People who are desperate to avoid the social stigma that comes with autism at all costs. Sympathetic to a degree, but they're trying to prop themselves up by pushing others down, so it's a self-defeating play in the long run because no one respects Aspergers anyway; at best they tolerate it. 4. People whose support networks and access to information are so remedial that they're legitimately that far behind the curve-- think people out in rural backwaters or cultures that barely want to acknowledge autism as something that exists at all. Weirdly self-diagnosis isn't as huge a problem as a lot of people think. Like yeah there are assholes who just use the label for clout and make trouble, but they're a drop in the bucket in terms of severity compared to the ocean of bullshit autistics deal with elsewhere, and most autistics only get mad about them because it's a target they can get away with hitting. Fine enough if that's their choice, but like, not the hill to die on for any party involved.

The DSM didn't drop Asperger's until 2013. That's still a while ago but that's a bit more recent than 20+ years. (I'm addressing #3 specifically)

It's fine to identify as such if you were diagnosed with it. Don't need to make it a weird thing.

In France mainstream awareness of autism is alright but progress in the field is pretty sluggish. Part of it is that Lacanian psychoanalysis and other bullshit still holds a lot of influence among psychiatrists - my father was a social worker and he loving hates these guys he had to work with, bunch of secular priests with a ready-made answer for everything.

PhazonLink posted:isnT instant ramen acutally kinda expensive $/calorie compared to rich and beans and actual frugal food choices? It's tastier with the flavor packets and easier to prepare as opposed to needing to wash rice or soak beans. Plus wheat is generally plentiful and easy to process, so its alot more available to urban populaces. We just need to add more protein, maybe soy? And If we dye it green, it would be perceived as more sustainable. Have I seen this episode before?

poor bb posted:For a 5 year period, I determined that paying off my student loan quickly would be a priority for me. To do so, I had to live in poverty because my college-degree is in a field where entry level wages are unlivably low. Between cost of living & restrictive student loan debt, I was forced to live in an overcrowded home and go without even basic nutrition. My idea of luxury at that time was vegetables and lunch meat. I was so destitute that I had to rely on the charity of others to avoid starving. I deprived myself not just of comfort or luxury, but of some of the most essential human needs, choosing to spend money that could have made material improvements in my life on paying off my debt. 👍 edit: gently caress I forgot the best part wah wah posted:Implicit in all of this is the idea that I recognize student debt is restrictive and can have a dramatic impact on quality of life, and that it would do so for a length of time longer than five years, long enough to justify depriving myself substantially.

PhazonLink posted:isnT instant ramen acutally kinda expensive $/calorie compared to rich and beans and actual frugal food choices? Kind of? In absolute terms, it’s closer to the cheapest food than it is to like a solid middle class living diet. Like, if ramen costs four simoleons per day and rice costs one, in one sense it’s profligate spending, but if the alternative is avocado toast (  ) at sixteen simoleons, the difference between ramen and rice hardly matters.Or, if I may make an airship analogy, it hardly matters if you fill the gas bags with helium or hydrogen, because they’re both so much lighter than air. A cubic metre of hydrogen is half the mass of a cubic metre of helium, yet it only gives you seven percent more buoyancy.

Instant ramen is also a lot easier to cook if you’re a college student without a real kitchen.

Do these idiots not realise that the logical extension of their arguments is not only to forgive ALL student debt, but to pay reparations to people who paid theirs off if they can show that repayment materially impacted their lives?

If it places undue hardship on the working class, tax the loving rich to pay for it then. Also, interest is imaginary.
