  • Yes, I’ve noticed that if I wonder whether someone is ND then they usually are. I wonder when I see a behaviour that looks… familiar. Even if it’s just a picture, sometimes I can tell by the way they’re posed or their expression. I asked my friend about her little cousin from a family photo once and she seemed shocked, because the family had been wondering the same thing!


  • Everything you say here, I have felt and am feeling as well. Before the pandemic I went out with friends and had fun. Now it’s so hard to deal with other people, it makes me so tired to fake being like them, and I beat myself up when I realise I didn’t mask well enough. It’s like the pandemic made my symptoms worse, but I think it’s just lack of practice. Also maybe burnout over everything else going on in the world.

    You’re not alone bud; now you know why things have been so tough your whole life, just like us. You’re part of a big cool club 😂


  • Well, the original bill itself wouldn’t have been written with this in mind, but the update was definitely written in such a way that it applies to everyone but can be used against prisoners as well.

    These are the kind of activities typically covered under “outfitting” in U.S. law:

    • Guided hiking/backpacking tours
    • Guided fishing trips
    • Guided hunting trips
    • Guided horseback riding tours
    • Guided kayaking/canoeing/rafting trips
    • Guided wildlife viewing tours
    • Guided photography/sightseeing tours
    • Renting camping/backpacking gear
    • Renting fishing equipment
    • Renting hunting gear (e.g. blinds, tree stands)
    • Renting water sports equipment (kayaks, canoes, rafts)
    • Renting horses and related tack/equipment
    • Renting photography/optics equipment
    • Providing shuttle services for outdoor activities
    • Catering and food services for guided outdoor trips
    • Providing lodging and accommodation services for outdoor activities
    • Operating ski/snowboard equipment rental shops
    • Offering guided winter sports activities (skiing, snowshoeing, etc.)
    • Providing guide services for off-road vehicle tours
    • Operating retail stores selling outdoor gear and equipment

    So I think in addition to fighting fires, they basically want to replace the park rangers they fired with prisoners.
