If there was a superhero called Super-Autist, what would be his superpowers?
  • It's a very dumb joke , making fun of a dumb tv show call the good doctor. The writers decided to write a show about a young autistic surgeon, and also decided that his only personality trait would be being a surgeon. There is a scene where he is fired, has a mental breakdown and keeps yelling " I am a surgeon".

    Mostly a dumb joke, making fun of writers who wrote the main character of a show based solely of one idea, with no character at all.

  • There are not two sides, they are the same one side. Not super clear from the picture, but there is a twist that connects the "front" of one side to the "back" of the other .

    NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer
  • I think it's stupider than that. They have no idea how a handmade gun could be built without a 3d printer. They probably have zero clue what a 3d printer actually can and cannot do, and I'd bet most politicians have never seen one or bothered to understand it before regulating it. Their sole exposure is a few loud people who also do not understand anything about guns or 3d printers, and confuse that lack of understanding with definitive proof that it is evil and should be banned.

    Zelensky: Israel has ‘indisputable’ right to defend itself from terror
  • Yes. Defend, not subjugate and wage and endless war on every non jew they can reach, untill they breed the next wave of violent opposition to themselves. Israel will surely continue it's impeccable record on this, and handle the civilians lives with decency and honor. I agree, Israel has a right to defend itself from terror.

    As a reminder...
  • Yes, exactly. It's worth noting though, that many good people are brought into these regimes, and are folded into the hate by their leaders, and the hate they receive from the extremists that oppose them. Not only do terrorists and gangs harm those they seek to harm, but they also grow and root their evil into the normal and healthy communities they base themselves in. Both Hamas and Israel are poisoning their own people more than those they directly kill.

    New to America USA, how do you socialize and meet new people?
  • I have lived most of my life in a real warzone. I have carried guns since I was 7. I have been fortunate enough to not have to kill anyone with them yet, but I know many people who have, including my father. Believe me, the gun nerds and racist wannabe soldiers of America would not last a minute in a real fight. You don't have a gun problem, you have a "people who think guns are shiny toys" problem.

  • I didn't say you were the sole problem. The problem is rich people, including you, not realizing that ( even if you only care about yourself, as you seem to), you should be helping others.

    Good job not being one of the richest 8 people in the world. Yes, those people are not nice, and don't want to help you. Now go help your neighbors and make friends with them. You also seem to have no scale on the problems that actual poverty causes, or how much rich people spend on their useless luxuries, and how much good that could do in the world.

    You could go on about how disconnected you feel from everyone, and how it's all those 8 evil people's fault, and then try to fill that void with consumerism and giving them more money. Or you could cut you luxury in half, and donate it to a good cause. If you are not going to appreciate American wealth, then let someone else eat your scraps.

    But no, what you really want is for it to all be someone else's fault, and to do nothing about it. Your weekly paycheck is a poor person's yearly wage, and that ignores slavery and the many other atrocities of this world. Yes, wealthy people who hoard their power for themselves are a problem. Yes, having even more wealth is even more of a problem, but if you are not going to help people below you up, then at least be aware that you issues are as laughable to us as billionaires issues are to you.

  • If you are not aware, the Gaza strip is an active warzone between terrorists on Israeli and Palestinian side, with my native people caught in the middle.

    Yes people suck, but even a land with some rude people and casual racism can be held up as an example of people trying to work together.

    Based on your other comments, it's clear that your view of the world is based on the path you have walked so far, and the narrow stretch of ground you have tread on. Maybe your rich overlords hid the existence of the rest of the world from you, but some of us have been living there.

    Fortunately, you have many more steps left to walk, and time to consider the ground your neighbors have been walking on as well. Go, walk with empathy, watch the world and judge it with kindness, and build your heart with room for others in it.

  • You are saying that all the evil and exploitation in America comes from the rich. My friend, by the standards of the world in general, you are the rich. What are doing to help the poor, and why do you expect the few richer than you to care more about you, than you care about my family in Gaza? Do you not think that your " rich overlords" say" yes and, so what" to your issues?

    You want to fix America? I see two lessons from my life. "Eat the rich", as you say, but not as a online joke or a metaphor. Messy and unstable, but if you survive you can be as rich as you want.

    Or, you can use the wealth you have to build something better. Why do you play the game of isolation if you hate it? Are you the only one feeling isolated within an hour of you? Do you truly think that everything you buy is the minimum, or that the luxury you have is worth nothing?

  • I'm not saying you are evil or uncaring. You just don't have and sense of how rich you are, and how much closer you are to billionaires that you think. Yes, money wise you don't have a billion dollars, I know. But most lower middle class people in the US would be considered top 2 percent in areas with actual poverty. Even in the phase paycheck to paycheck, it's implied that you know your paycheck will be enough to buy some very basic food and shelter, and that there is basic food and shelter to buy at all.

    Think about a city of millions of people, where the vast majority of them live like your homeless people do, in makeshift shelters and harsh weather. Not sure if the city block they live on will be there when they get back at night, or if the tiny amount of money they earn will hod any value to a farmer, of if the farmer will even have any food. Then picture a handful of American houses there, and ask if they are "middle class". I know things could be better for you, but things could be better for billionaires too, And I bet you laugh at them if they complain their private jet is to small.

  • Lol. In Gaza every man carried at least one ak47 with them at all times, not just a few outliers. And most of us have had to use it for real, not to shoot at a target for fun.

  • I recently moved to the USA, from the middle east. My English is pretty good, and I don't have a lot of trouble communicating with people at work or in stores. I also don't know anyone here at all, outside of work. All my family is still back in Gaza, and I've been here over a year now, and still feel cut off from American people and culture.

    How do you make friends and socialize here? How do I learn more about America and Americans culture? I know a bit about history, but not much about anything else. I don't drink or go to bars, for religious reasons. I have joined a couple of clubs based on hobbies, but still feel disconnected. I'm not sure how you socialize or meet new people here, in my family everyone came around your house all the times of the day, and here it seems like neighbors just stick to themselves. I don't want to bug people or anoy them if that is not the customs here.

    Also, what are your favorite parts of American culture and history? So far I have enjoyed Nascar and monster trucks very much, and studying mathematics.
