For the record, I am not open-minded.


I'll sleep better knowing that........even though it's been obvious all along.

Now go report me for something so you'll sleep better tonight, too. Just make up something...

They’re all right if prepared properly.First they must be tenderized as they are usually tough and stringy.Them marinate overnight to remove bitterness.The organs are usually worthless,sometimes they don’t have a heart or it’s all dried up,the liver is always full of bile.
Just toss them out.
Dip in egg,roll in flour then fry till crunchy.Yum.

This site seems dominated by very poor people.

In real life, success is met with "THAT'S GRRREEAT!".

On WP, *SUCCESS* is often considered offensive.

Considered offensive:
-The success people can gain from capitalism
-The success people have from hard work and education.
-The success people have from landing a high paying job.
-The success of being able to live in a nice neighborhood.
-The success of growing up poor and "making it".
-The success of buying expensive things.

Likely considered non-offensive:
-You're miserable because, "the system" has failed you.
-Capitalism is suppressing you.
-"The rich" are actively out to get you.
-You believe that hard work and education are not rewarded.
-You believe the Horatio Alger story is a myth.


Disabled people are usually poor, and the "system" has failed them.

Autism is a disability.

I've worked hard, and am still broke.

The headline put out ASD spokespeople like Temple Grandin is that many ASD people are actually super-successful.

"Half of Silicon Valley has mild ASD"
https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/01/21/ ... ld-autism/

"NASA is a shelter for ASD people"

Temple Grandin herself had a movie made about how successful she became.

The message is that it's not a disability.


Diagnosed?
Cause people like to call anyone slightly odd aspies.

It was super easy for me to get a ASD diagnosis ... just by having brain damage.

Took me 45 mins. I walked in , saw two doctors, got diagnosis (after they ruled out schizophrenia).

Follow-up, seen 3-5 doctors, and 1 autism specialist over successive appointments at other hospital, again, an ASD diagnosis.

Don't know if I just have "brain damage" or an ASD or if there's even a difference.

I have said this a few times ... I have had "flat affect" my whole life and to me that feels like "brain damage" ... it feels like I should be out experiencing life .. smiling, laughing, participating in life ... instead .. my brain is "injured" in that way.

I was joking.

We’re too nasty to eat and too much trouble to prepare for a meal, therefore that’s one thing we don’t have to worry about. Libs don’t like us, but we’re too much trouble to get rid of. It’s like how some butterflies are poisonous to birds, so birds avoid those and others with similar markings. It gives them an evolutionary advantage.

I've been wondering, to turn things on their head, if conservatives generally hate aspies, and if conservative aspies hate other aspies who are not just like themselves [high-functioning and successfully NT-emulating].

I find a conservative society sounds easier for me to put up with compared to a liberal society.

While many of the more radical far-right have views that are more crazy or out-there speaking, most of those guys aren't really dangerous or violent people. At least not as much as the average person really is.

Keep this as another note of thought, not as far-long ago as the 80s, it would have been considered center or more moderate right-wing at most.

I don't like anybody who thinks I deserve to suffer and die just because i'm not wealthy enough to afford our exorbitantly priced amuurican health care. I don't like anybody who divides the world between themselves and what they cavalierly term "useless eaters."
