@MJinthewild @aswren "actually I'm more mentally retarded than you" lmfao what a hill to die on

@aswren I don’t think you do. I was diagnosed before the over diagnosis wave. A long while back. You’re not severe. Not even close.

As someone with severe ADHD, I really can’t see any way it makes you more open to peer pressure, though we do obviously have lower impulse control. Being taken for a complete ride here, just ridiculous that any of this is mitigating instead of aggravating

@liziestar @TheAnointedGirl @dumbbitchcap @hollowearthterf No, no, the baby will be dense as a rock based on her ability to miss the joke

@TheAnointedGirl @dumbbitchcap @hollowearthterf This just means you have great blood sugar stability and are eating what your body needs

You’re not poor because you buy lunch and don’t pack it. You’re poor because you’re dumb and lazy. It’s not your fault, it’s been this way since your mom didn’t get morning sickness when she was pregnant with you and then bragged to her friends that you “slept really well”. You just never had that many brain cells and even as a fetus you didn’t elicit enough of a disruption growing inside your mom to make her feel the slightest bit uncomfortable because you’re just kind of a potato. I hope this helps

@VictriaCal97 @estherzelda0514 Let's not pretend that the father engaging in a culturally acceptable practice is tearing him up inside, every time he cried, he cried for himself and his debt, not his daughters experience

@chainedmailman @estherzelda0514 There is nothing in the story that implies he could have simply asked for money or that the relative would employ him. So it was Sophie’s Choice for the father. But the relative is evil, I agree.

I'm sorry, but people have been making excuses for selling their daughters into sexual slavery throughout history, and all of them make the same excuses, but it does not change the fact that they did it because they simply do not value their daughters properly. How do I know? Note that they always consign their daughters to this before their sons or themselves. Note that their entire society normalizes it. Note that even Western outlets covering this find the fathers' "impossible choices" sympathetic and more worthy of coverage than what his daughter must think, being raped on a daily basis and knowing that her very own flesh and blood are responsible for dooming her to that fate. Note that the news stories do not ask why it is fathers making this decision, and not the mothers. From ancient China to modern Afghanistan, feeding yourself off the underage sexual exploitation of your own daughters is morally reprehensible, and I would simply rather die myself than ever consign any child to such suffering. The fact that these fathers do not feel the same when it comes to their own daughters is proof of their monstrosity, and the moral depravity of the BBC for asking us to identify with them rather than their daughters.

@EFT_Mercia @brianatheroux I imagine most men would probably want to know that beforehand too, and be able to decide. Just like if one partner hides they are infertile

@brianatheroux With it being a literal health condition isnt it best just working with martial aids to 'get the job done' if they love eachother? I imagine its similar to women who suffer with gyne issues who cannot have relations rarely / if at all.

Well, hiding this under religion was smooth lol. I’ll give him that. But immediate grounds for divorce… this should have been discussed.

@VictriaCal97 @estherzelda0514 She was sold to his RELATIVE. instead of asking for money or working with/for his relative for her healthcare, it was preferable to sell her off. This is not a Sophie's choice situation at all

@estherzelda0514 But “feeding yourself off the underage sexual exploitation of your own daughters” is not what happened in the case. The main story is about a father who sold his daughter to pay for *her* medical care, to avoid her death. It was a Sophie’s Choice situation. There was no way+

@maga_infighting @StephenM There was no social welfare net at the time most ellis island immigrants came over, in fact 1 in 3 returned to Europe.

@altparadisus @StephenM You don't think at the time that people already in America thought the same thing about all the immigrants from Europe???

OBBB passed by a single vote. If Massie had succeeded in killing the bill (he joined all Democrats to oppose it) the current budget of ICE, HSI and BP would be ZERO.

@merepiff @dyingscribe Generally I've seen it in regards to ego dystonic intrusive thoughts, those which arent representative of actual desires. He lays out that they've grown from his attraction/desire, happens in therapy from the intense emotions delt with, etc...

@chainedmailman @dyingscribe Thoughts are considered intrusive if you don't identify with them. You can be attracted to someone and still have intrusive thoughts related to them. He may also have something to address, but I dont think having or sharing these thoughts is necessarily the thing

‘Barely used’ Yeah, I applaud him for a separating himself from his therapist, but there’s some warning signs here

@merepiff @dyingscribe Having such strong sexual urges from desire that you struggle with them just isnt the same as intrusive thoughts definitionally. Both are a problem (if you're not a teen going through puberty), he probably has smthn he needs to address

@chainedmailman @dyingscribe I get your point, but I strongly disagree with you on this one.

@merepiff @dyingscribe No, the thoughts come from his actual desire bc he's attracted to her (he describe all the qualities he's attracted to in the post), they aren't errant

@chainedmailman @dyingscribe Do you think the only kind of intrusive thought is of suicidal ideations? The entire tone clearly represents that he is uncomfortable with these thoughts, that is, definitionally, an intrusive thought

@merepiff @dyingscribe Intrusive thoughts are not a representation of ones actual desires, eg jumping off a high ledge when near a balcony. These thoughts are his actual sexual desires

@dyingscribe it is a shame how flagrantly people will misunderstand intrusive thoughts

@narflowy U have hard water and are using an ionizer which sends the particles into the air with the water. Use filtered water or get a humidifier that boils the water instead of ionizing it.

Me: "I'm getting a humidifier so my rhinitis can finally give me a break." The humidifier: Simply decided my room is now London, 1800s.

@GasMeElmo @downbadcomment Your bio is misspelled 😮‍💨

@downbadcomment This is why women belong at home and not in a work environment They rather cause a problem than actually solve one

@Marstucky @fleshsimulator Bullet casings routinely eject + roll 10s of ft from where you're firing. We'll have to wait for investigation and see, but best case scenario is an overly jumpy guy shot him bc he was firing a gun in a crowded apartment complex, worst case is that he did shoot at DHS guy.

@chainedmailman @fleshsimulator At the ice guy

an off-duty ice agent asked him to stop celebrating new years' by shooting his AR in the air in the common area of the apartment complex they both lived in, and keith porter responded by shooting at the off-duty ice agent multiple times with a rifle

@Marstucky @fleshsimulator Are you arguing Porter wasnt shooting at all or just not at Palacios

@chainedmailman @fleshsimulator Witnesses only heard 3 shots. Police couldn’t find any shell casings from porter’s gun near the shooting

@Marstucky @fleshsimulator How's that

@fleshsimulator You’re lying

@Summer__Crane @OVTweetmarck I'd be comfortable saying a 50/50 split for sure

@OVTweetmarck my most chud take is that most (certainly not all) but most doctors are dangerous people with a very specific type of god complex

@motorhomelabs Gen population with too much iron is diabetic + obese and the associated health issues are due to this. it's not the fortified foods, it's the amount many Americans eat. Same as blaming seed oils

A good example of gynofascism is mandatory iron fortification, the purposeful poisoning of half the population with chronic disease because certain populations can't be bothered to learn basic nutrition and common food sources of minerals.

@AuxRoyaur @realcoofy @WomanDefiner Actively cracking down on disability fraud instead of ignoring the issue breeds more trust/support in the system instead of breeding a class of welfare louses

@realcoofy @WomanDefiner “That’s sad she got that hurt at basic. If she’s faking I don’t care. Amplifying these stories will just be used by evil bastards to justify cutting disability by painting everyone as fakers, while they send billions to israel.” Guess the people you talk to are just dumb.

"So I hear you're a vet?" "Yes, Caleb" "Do you get Disability? "Yeah I have a 100% disability rating as a cook for the coast guard"

@Readyfor_Freddy @ArchysLife Only Ortho/Hasidic Jews practice this, it's already widely unpopular within the broader Jewish community. It's a weird thing to defend as distinctly jewish, like a catholic defending Jehovah's witnesses choosing to let let a kid die by denying blood transfusion

@ArchysLife Most religions need to have a second Vatican council style reform and retire many of the old and strange practises that aren't as easily explained or understood in a modern context. Like I'm sorry bruh that shit with the babies is just wack by any context

I'm so sure insisting that a grown man sucking on an infant's penis is a cornerstone of Judaism will do wonders in an age of paedophilia panic combined with an exponential increase in antisemitic conspiracy theories.

@tweetbix @Baumann_Mac @gidonsaar They crushed all religious practices, bad and good. Turned basilicas and cathedrals into museums of atheism. Even now, some of the largest cathedrals in st Petersburg are only allowed one mass a week.

@Baumann_Mac @gidonsaar Things I learnt from Royal Commission testimonies: The Soviet Russian emigre Jewish community didn't circumcise, or speak Hebrew. Must remember in case I get on Hard Quiz.

Belgium have just announced the indictment of the three Mohels who were investigated last year in Antwerp. With this act Belgium joins a short and shameful list, together with Ireland, of countries that use criminal law to prosecute Jews for practicing Judaism. This is a scarlet letter on Belgian society. The Brith Mila is the cornerstone of Jewish faith. Many countries in Europe and around the world have created legal frameworks to facilitate the brith and Jewish religion freedom in their countries. I call upon the Belgium government to act immediately and to find a solution.
