‘Sounds like communism’

Show me people who don’t know what communism, Alex

I pirate because I like it when I have movie and money at the same time

So do we! By slowly dying. Hooray!

Yes but have you considered that we are all philistines who need our fast juice

I also love the convenience of bulk buying dlcs and games in steam sales. 80% off everything? Now the whole deal costs less than one DLC 4 years ago? Boy howdy.

It’s kind of shitty to ‘out’ someone like this on a tv program. If they liked doing cocaine that’s their business. But I also know that’s the point of the program probably.

I hope she got help with her nose though.

It’s easy to disable for now lol, the enshittification doesn’t stop here

Glad I bought a cheaper and older phone then. I don’t have this fortunately

Hey he finally came outside how nice

Imagine this shit coming up when the streets outside flood or something

I for one applaud Rockstar for going open source. So progressive and insightful of them.

There is this famous advertisement for toilet paper that goes ‘is your washroom breeding bolsjewists?’

And yes, yes it is

Even outside the US, I pay a one time fee when I have to replace my card (Usually either lost or no longer working). It’s not that bad, only a one time charge of 7,50 automatically withdrawn from my debit account.

I do not have the same experiences you have, but your considerations are one for one the ones I make. I’m not putting someone else in this mess if I can help it.

I also think this subscription model has run into criticism from EU legislators/regulators as well, which will have to be decided upon. Basically Meta isn’t out of the doghouse yet.

Really, I’d say strip Meta of all its assets and dissolve the whole thing, maybe try some of the heads for all the shit they’ve pulled in the ICC? Like failing to act on genocides or actively working to incite mass violence, political unrest, etcetera.

Lol, for real

That’s why you have a porn account

You haven’t been on the internet recently have you

‘I allow them to just exist between whipping and beating them, isn’t that enough?!’

First of all I’m sorry that you’re struggling with this. As a parent, I’m sure it must be difficult to see so many things reflected in your kid, but in an entirely different context of autism.

A couple pointers:

This is rather semantic, but the modern understanding of autism is that it’s a spectrum. Asperger’s is no longer an official diagnosis, but using the word can clarify what type of autism you’re dealing with. Autism comes in a myriad of forms.

I also want to say, I think an adult diagnosis can help in understanding yourself, and understanding your own relation to the world. It can re-contextualize your experiences you’ve had. And it can help you deal with current and future challenges. You may not need educational help, but many people who are diagnosed with anything like adhd or autism struggle with something in their lives, a struggle that mostly stems from being neuro-atypical. Educational, vocational or professional challenges are not the only things people with autism can struggle with. I struggle with human contact, intimacy, connection and black and white thinking, for example.

Lastly, and I know this may be hard to read. And please don’t take this personally. This isn’t your Kids fault. I only say this because it is something that happens sometimes. A parent learns about their own struggles, their own challenges, through their kid’s diagnosis and care, and sometimes parents can’t separate the kid from their own challenges anymore. This isn’t necessarily directed at you, OP. But they need you right now, no matter how much you may be hurting yourself. Being diagnosed as a kid can be terrifying. My first question when I was diagnosed at 9 years old was ‘Am I gonna die?’

I hope you have people to lean on. Truly do. You need to decide if you need a diagnosis for yourself. If that’s gonna help you make life easier, understand yourself and your place in the world better. Maybe talk to people who went through that when they were older. I know some people who had a late diagnosis and even though it messed them up for a few days (I mean, you put your entire life in a different context, it’s not nothing) it ultimately helped them.

Hope it helps. Wishing you and the kid the best. Take care.
