In case anyone else is curious: here

I see that as a bullshit copout for people that don’t want to care about people. Some of the nicest people I know are neuro-divergent, they just need to put a little more effort into figuring out what effects their actions have.

Just because you lack empathy doesn’t mean you don’t, or can’t, care about people. It just means you don’t have an automatic, involuntary response to other people’s emotions. You can still care about people and desire good outcomes for them and want your actions to be positive for other people.

Neuro-divergence that reduces, or eliminates the capacity for empathy makes that harder because you don’t get that immediate feedback, you have to figure out if what you’re doing has the desired effect in other ways. Which makes it harder, but not impossible. And definitely doesn’t prevent you from wanting to do it in the first place.

If you don’t care about other people, you’re just an asshole. Stop blaming it on neuro-divergence.

I do, my wife does, a couple Trekkie buddies at work do.

All you whining, terminally online dweebs need to learn to speak for yourselves.

I’m hoping it’s a joke.

Maybe someone said “make a stupid generic teen drama poster and watch people lose their shit.”

I like all Trek. (To preempt any whatabout responses, here) I consistently downvote and dismiss all “NuTrek” whiners. I don’t even like the term. And don’t even get me started on the “The Orville is the only good/real Trek in the last blah blah blah” MFers. But this has me a little worried. Is Tilly going to be the least annoying part of the show?

Please be a joke.

I don’t get wanting to have so many books, it looks cluttered and takes a lot of space. I had one bookcase. I read every book I bought as soon as I bought it. After the bookcase got full, everything went to goodwill. That process repeated several times until I switched to ebooks. That’s why I “had” a bookcase, now I have whisky and wine storage. And I have a little over 1300 books in my reader, my pocket, and any other connected device I want to access them from.

“What possible circumstance?”

He was good looking (or good enough for her that night), easy, available, and in her line of sight when she decided she wanted some. Their lack of any future relationship shows she just hit it and quit it.

Male “heroes” bang treacherous ass all the time and no one says shit. Why can’t a “good guy” who’s a woman decide she wants some shady pipe laid?

This was completely in character for her.

Post the same question in a comm that uses another language that you speak and see what answers you get there.

Why do you have to put it on women to make “good” decisions? They don’t have to keep themselves pure, they can do what they want, just like men. You say he just wants to get his dick wet? Sometimes a “strong independent woman” just wants to get her pussy stuffed and she knows the fuc boi is easy.

Maybe what is was meant to invoke wasn’t a strong reaction, but a realization that this is different society where women don’t have to conform to the same sexuality repressing gender norms, and going forward we shouldn’t assume the characters have the same puritanical hangups we’re used to

Yeah when I first heard about Resurrection I went all Annie Wilkes for about ten seconds but then I was just stoked for more Dexter. I liked the first season but I felt bad for poor Batista.

I suppose they could stick a bunch of goofy bumpers on it like the US compliant Countach. It might be the only way to make them uglier.

I actually looked for one in °C but the only ones I found had big stupid display screens. I just wanted one with 5-6 simple presets without adding unnecessary points of failure.

To be fair, I didn’t look that hard though. I wasn’t willing to spend that much time and the place I order my tea from labels all the recommended temps in °F anyway.

And make sure to get one with different temperature settings, not just boil.

Being able to do 180° exactly instead of just guessing has been a game changer for white tea.

HOAs maybe? Mine would lose their shit if people started having these things “visible over the porch wall.”

Edit: Article says it’s for regulations about putting power back into the grid.

One of the characters in the show. I think she quit to become a P.I. because she didn’t want to be a part of a bigoted system anymore.

I heard (don’t remember where, could be true, could be right out of someone’s ass) that the reason the show ended is many of them started feeling bad about doing a light-hearted fun show about cops. Basically the actors all started feeling like Rosa.

Do you know all this about horses in a know thy enemy sort of way or did you come to hate horses after learning about them?

I think the point of this one is to have the poles centered in their respective halves. Southern hemisphere on the bottom with the pole in roughly the center of the bottom half, and the same with the North.

Then going for the least distortion with the land masses. This way has West Africa and East South America a little screwy but if you were to take the equator and slide it right to fix Africa, south America gets worse. So it’s a balance.

I’m not sure what the point is to giving the southern hemisphere more room though.

Edit: The longer I look at this the weirder it gets, lots of strange choices. It’s almost as bad as worse than the Mercator without it’s one redeeming quality, straight lat/long lines with right angles. It doesn’t even put China at the center and makes it disproportionately small.

So a North-South pseudocylindrical compromise (not even equal area) map, which makes longitude lines curve back and forth, where the northern hemisphere, where most of the land is, is disproportionately small. Dafuq?

But where do you put the tomatoes, pickle, peppers, and onions?

That’s rich, someone that can’t even comprehend three simple sentences talking about a lack of communication.

I’ll let you have the last word because you must be eager to get back to what I’m sure is a lot of fulfilling social activity.

If you need any more activities maybe you could start a book club. I’ve already given you your first selection. I’m sure anyone that interacts with you by choice could benefit from it as well.

I disagree. I’ve got a few coworkers here getting a good laugh out of it. And my wife and a coworker of hers.
