@cowboy_postbop It’s the right call, both because it’s the mature approach and I don’t know how you walk back your husband gaslighting you as an old woman for a year

The divorce plot in the first act of Mrs. Doubtfire is actually pretty brutal, you could feel the creative team working through some stuff on that one lol

are there other pieces of media with as wide a gap between its assumed vibe and its actual vibe as “Saturday Night Fever”?

"Don't engage with that, it's rage bait from a monetized account in Nigeria" Oh and god forbid I help a Nigerian man feed his family.

I love this qualia so much because there is no human parallel. Imagine wanting to kill something so badly that it's ecstatically overwhelming.
You can't.
It's like trying to imagine what a mantis shrimp sees.

Why do cats do this, is he excited for something?

assisted suicide is one of those things where i very strongly agree in theory but in practice seeing people be told “well no we won’t cover this treatment for your disease but you CAN kill yourself” is absolutely fucking heinous

Again, I had a loved one in my family choose MAiD when he was in the last months of painful bladder cancer. I see a lot of people here calling it immoral. The only immoral thing I see is making people suffer when they choose to die on their own terms with dignity. #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

THIS. IS. INCREDIBLE.
131 yrs. ago Alfred Dreyfuss, falsely accused of espionage, was stripped of his French army rank: lieutenant-colonel.
Last week, Uriel Dreyfuss, a direct descendant of Alfred, was promoted to the IDF rank of…lieutenant colonel!!
The nation of Israel lives!

There is no such thing as autistic "injustice sensitivity" - it's just inflexible thinking reacting to the conceptual framework (aka "the rules") being violated. I assure you people with politics you find intolerable also experience the same phenomenon for the same exact reason

The impulse motivating autistics to be on the front lines of trans inclusion is the exact same one motivating autistics to be in the front lines of the gender critical movement.

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.

i feel like nobody knows how to read this movie. the basic idea is we spend the whole movie getting madder and madder at the maya for what they did to this guy and his family. then suddenly at the end the spanish show up and we realize they're about to do the same exact shit on a much greater scale. it's an anti-colonialism movie from a very non-woke perspective, which people think is a contradiction for some reason

Insane for Mel Gibson to make like this INCREDIBLY racist movie for like 99% of it only to sort of pull the rug and be like 'yeah what comes immediately after this is so much fucking worse' with one shot

It's actually wonderful reading how this happened from the fallout afterwards. A rare example of "you can just do things" in action in a modern Western democracy.
- No coalition partner campaigned on the changes beforehand
- No public consultation
- No impact assessment
- Rushed through in 24 hours under urgency
- Quashed all pending claims
- The government engaged in “organised subterfuge”
- "Officials who knew the changes were imminent continued to negotiate in bad faith with parties involved in the 33 pay claims in order to keep the policy under wraps, so it could be presented as a fait accompli"
- Saved NZ$13bn. For context, this is nearly half the annual NZ health budget and double the defence budget. So even though the left opposed it, it's very difficult to undo without earmarking a giant amount of money.
max tempers@maxtempers
In 2025, facing dozens of claims and projected costs exceeding NZ$10bn, the govt passed emergency legislation tightening the equal pay regime. They raised the threshold for bringing claims, narrowed acceptable comparators, and most importantly, discontinued unresolved claims.

The only way I find actual Relatable Autism Content these days is when I complain at Claude about some dumb infographic or meme I see here and why it's wrong, and then Claude helpfully points out that what I'm actually describing is in the literature and gives me a pubmed link

@SUDHIRT64354301 @fesshole I read that as slow jizz track and I am frankly disappointed that you did not think to write that originally.
English
@fesshole Sounds like you accidentally discovered the difference between rushing the moment and actually feeling it. Turns out your body isn’t a fire alarm it’s more like a slow jazz track if you let it be.

Guy with undiagnosed autism and diagnosed ADHD or OCD: "I think they'll merge the categories with autism one day because they are just so similar, I relate so much to my autistic friends, who I am of course not one of"

I go on Facebook once a year to check who still wishes me happy birthday. A few years ago I read a fascinating book on the Congolese Civil War, started looking up militia commanders who’d been interviewed, realised they all had Facebook accounts and started sending them friend requests so for a couple of years now I’ve received more happy birthday wishes from Congolese warlords than university friends.

it’s always “you’re autistic” and never “thank you for telling me everything you know about vampires”

@duncancame745 @meatfreemeals1 @I_amMukhtar It would be nice if depots could stop people being psychotic just like that but regrettably given that he was discharged from hospital like 4 days ago, he was almost certainly tanked up on antipsychotics, had his 72 hour follow-up, and still stabbed a bunch of people.

@meatfreemeals1 @I_amMukhtar He probably will be sectioned now. But stabbing people 14 years ago is no indication of their risk now. "Monitoring risk" is meeting someone once a week and asking them if they're suicidal and taking their meds. You just say no, yes, and then get on with your stabbing plans.
English
@schachbox @I_amMukhtar I would expect them-given he also stabbed two police officers and a dog in 2008- to monitor his risk. I would also expect them to section him under the Mental Health Act because of the risk he poses to himself and others. Because that's their job
