Republicans are foaming at the mouth to cut medicare and anything else that helps people while throwing trillions at the military. This is a great justification for their dumbass base that will believe any conspiracy they are instructed to

I feel like palm pilots are super impressive for the time period they existed in. They were so futuristic! Basically the 1998 smartphone

I wouldn’t even say that much. They bought out x.com as a competitor and threw their garbage code in the trash

Confinity already had payments between palm pilots back in fucking 1998, before x.com even existed

Spez said in an interview he admires Musk. If you haven’t noticed yet, the corporate world is just 1 giant game of follow the leader.

“Oh X laid 13% of their staff off? I’m gonna do that too even though I don’t really need to”

“Oh Twitter charged ridiculous amounts for their API and didn’t crumble? Me too”

Remember when Google was doing those dumbass interviews where you have to figure out how many manhole covers in NYC or whatever? Every tech company and their mom was OBSESSED with those types of questions even long after Google figured out how useless they were.

Remember when you paid outright for things and everything wasn’t a subscription model?

Thankfully Twitter is actively dying now, but if they somehow manage to turn it around we are all fucked. If they show people will stay around while you strongarm them into paying AND having limits to save server costs that is going to be adopted by basically everyone.

Don’t besmirch Ronald like that

X is closer to a swastika than a bird so it fits

The next update to the logo will be adding 4 more lines…

Well Barbie is an accomplished woman with a bajillion jobs so it’s not surprising the movie is “woke”. Barbie was “woke” for her time.

I bet they make a fuck ton of money off this movie, once again disproving “go woke go broke”

Woke is here to stay, it’s called human rights

I’m not sure why everyone feels the need to ask when we are on the internet… where Google exists…

I don’t know every word either but I look it up instead of complaining about it existing

Much like every other time people complain about “labels”, it’s a quick way to describe things without going into detail.

Not eating meat/animal products the majority of the time

I would like to go full on vegan but I have sensory issues with food so it’s a long work in progress while I find enough vegan options I like

Fake chicken has come a long way in general. Daring chicken is meant to substitute white meat with no breading and very close in flavor. I wouldn’t eat it on it’s own because the texture is a little weird, but shredded in soup or gumbo or whatever it’s suspiciously close to real chicken.

And now lab grown chicken is FDA approved 👀

I had them at Dog Haus which isn’t fast food but close

They are definitely a flakey texture inside, I would compare them to Wendy’s nuggets. I am autistic so texture is a big thing for me, and it doesn’t bother me. I am not even a huge nugget fan because a lot of them do have that spongey texture that grosses me out

I would recommend trying them deep fried for the best texture

The best protest would be a blank canvas.

I don’t use neopets anymore but I have been following the neopets saga. I will believe it when I see it, they promised this with the site redesign back when flash died, and most of the original games are still not playable years later.

Vote that trash out thanks

Idk why anyone is surprised Amazon is deceitful lmao

I’m autistic. You’re describing overstimulation. She is only 8, and it will take time for her to understand what is overstimulating and how to appropriately deal with it. When I am in an overstimulating situation I take breaks, for example taking a walk away from a party.

The thing about being overstimulated is it’s not something where you just take deep breaths and calm down and feel better magically. You need to be removed from what’s overstimulating you. Imagine being in a room of people who are all screaming at you and you are being pushed to continue to function despite that. That’s what being overstimulated is like.

Another important thing to keep in mind is not to push her to act neurotypical. When I’m around a lot of people I reach a point where I “shut down”. I am still actively listening but I am quiet and over talking. Make sure you and other family members are not pushing her to be talkative if she wants to be quiet. And assist her being able to take breaks or allow her to acknowledge she is overstimulated and remove herself from the situation. A huge problem, that I have experienced myself and seen other families do with autistic kids, is force them to act “normal” in overstimulating situations. That’s a great way to lead to a meltdown. If her siblings are neurotypical they might be doing this because they don’t understand.

Sometimes though things are out of your control or it sneaks up on you and you NEED to meltdown to feel better. She needs to figure out a way she can do that without taking it out on someone. Go to her room and cry, run around outside, yell outside, something. All of this is up to her to decide and figure out since it varies per person, but you can help her by reminding her she needs to redirect her meltdown and giving her the space to do so.

And just FYI, it’s not high functioning or low functioning anymore. Autism is now described by the level of support someone needs, because someone can appear “high functioning” in certain scenarios but need a lot of support in other ways.

Clarence Thomas probably considers this his shining achievement. He has had a personal vendetta against affirmative action forever, despite benefitting from it himself.
