I know what that is don't worry. In fact I come under the same label after Aspergers was discontinued
Both. Any resources I can point such people towards would be useful too.
What do we do about people who are on the edge of autism
I've come to know a number of people who show lots of neurodivergent traits but who aren't necessarily autistic or otherwise neurodivergent, or are but only just cross the border. Do we have specific terms, research, or anything towards these types of people. I know at one point there was the term BAP (Broad Autism Phenotype), but this sounds very clinical. It's also personally been unusual to deal with as I can't really treat them like I would any other autistic person, or like a neurotypical.
DSM also thought being gay was a mental disorder. Caving to pressure is sometimes a good thing.
That's the spirit!
Since both support Genocide I don't think it's fair to say it's nazis vs non-nazis. It's more like genocide over there vs genocide maybe here and there. That's assuming that the Republicans will actually go full authoritarian dictatorship which isn't necessarily going to happen. A lot of people are speculating that things will happen that didn't last time Trump was in charge. It definitely could happen, but I don't think it's as likely as people are making out. Trump would have to convince all of the keys to power to abandon democracy, and that hasn't happened yet. He is already getting push back for certain things, not to mention braking up with Elon.
Anyway I sure am glad I don't live in the USA. Although honestly my own country is having its own issues. The supposedly left wing party seem to have decided they have the same level of support for trans people that the right wing one does, or at least their leader is willing to follow the conservatives on that issue. I almost regret voting for him now.
I was being sarcastic.
I hadn't considered that. I can't say I know much of the struggles of lesbians.
If the mother is so bad and abusive then why is your wife helping her? I think the sister did the right thing here. The state has mechanisms to take care of the elderly for good reasons.
No one is saying women don't have it rough. The difference is one gender is being pushed out of society, the other is being pushed under it. Men are basically encouraged to give up and go away, maybe commit suicide or go fight in a war. Women are encouraged to find a "man" and become some tradwife who has no agency. Neither is a good thing, but don't pretend they aren't different.
This is a rather bizarre response to come up with. First I am not an incel, that's a right wing ideology I don't subscribe to. I mean some of the concepts they use don't even make sense statistically - like they are logically impossible. I digress.
Women make up more than half the population. Sexism wouldn't have been as big of a problem and still wouldn't be as big of a problem if women didn't perpetuate it too. Just look at the trad wife movement or modern women who despise feminism, or like any women's beauty standards, or the whole thing about matching outfits, etc. All of these are forms of sexism that men just don't engage in to nearly the extent women do. Purity tests for butch lesbians and trans girls is another one. At least you can argue that men also do that, but they aren't the ones kicking women out of bathrooms.
Absolutely toxic masculinity is a problem largeley caused by men, but that's not the fault of the individual. Like I didn't decide that boys don't cry. Plenty of women too help perpetuate and reinforce these ideas by doing things like breaking up with men who show any vulnerability. There is a reason why gay men are better at this.
As for the whole thing of slipping further away from feminine qualities - you do know not all past societies were more feminine, right? Have you heard of ancient Greece? You do realize feminism has made large strides at addressing much of these issues? Like this all used to be much worse, things have been progressively changing for the better and still are in most places. It's only the USA that seems to have taken a nosedive recently. Even that is a push back against broader change.
No? It's the fault of all genders. Men perpetuate ideas that hurt other men, and women perpetuate ideas that hurt other women. Vice versa is equally true.
Yes this is very true. I think if anything they go hand in hand, if society is hostile towards you, you are equally more likely to turn your back on it. If you start turning away from society, people are more hostile, so it reinforces that decision. It's still a systematic failing though. Society should be pulling people back from the brink, not pushing them further.
You say men are turning their backs on society. I would argue it's the other way round. Modern society has lots of problems unfortunately, and can be quite hostile especially to men.
I at least saw it a few days before, but forgot to move over. Honestly it's getting annoying. I have been through 3 different servers all of which have shutdown including fmhy and antemerridiem.
Yes. Though it depends on what you want. If you are willing to learn some stuff, and don't mind doing some maintenance, then CachyOS is hard to beat. It's fast, up to date, has packages for basically everything, and the documentation from both them and from arch linux the parent distribution is great. Otherwise Linux Mint, PopOS, Aurora, and OpenSUSE are all good options. I wouldn't recommend using Ubuntu directly anymore because of the enshitification canonical have engaged in. Debian is always good, but might not be what you are looking for in terms of ease of use or being up to date.
They also had pretty strict CPU requirements. Mostly only 8th gen and newer, or a ryzen, would be required.
Wish I had seen this post before it all shutdown. I ended up moving to dbzero in a rush.
