@LibertyForAll19 @SandyofCthulhu I remember the old TSR spy game Top Secret where the hit locations were setup so that if you got shot in the foot enough times it could cause permanent brain damage.

@SandyofCthulhu How what is complex about them?

The latest trend in "rules are too hard" 5E players is removing HP. They just want to make stuff up but as Dungeons and Dragons is hip they want to attach this non game playing to it. Wounds and Hit Locations are superior from of Combat Resolution. Quick, simple, and lethal.

@AngryCops I suspect a huge part of it is astroturfed opposition because of Chinese influences that would love to see the US AI Industry crippled. This is the same way the Russians backed protests ostensibly about the environment. To cripple US industry.

Can someone please inform me as to why Data Centers are being protested/hated? What are the actual concerns about them and are they valid?

@TexasTSLA A system should be prepared to gracefully handle any user actions. If the user can trigger a soft reboot, that's a problem with the system. Prepare for uneducated and malicious users.

For those who aren't aware: Dont cover up the cabin camera, dont lay down in a robotaxi, don't use the emergency release latch while the vehicle is driving, don't touch the steering wheel, don't mess with the wipers, make sure you stay buckled up.....and most importantly neverrrr everrrr everrrr everrrr hold the two steering wheel buttons down and do a soft reset in a Robotaxi lol

@MimikiiLive @forestvanslyke I got work accomodations, but that's not one of the treatments listed. Merely having the world accept you as is is a benefit.

@Non_Robot_Human @forestvanslyke If there is no benefit to a diagnosis, a diagnosis isn't needed.

Autism is not being over-diagnosed. There’s no reason to diagnose someone when a psychologist is already getting paid for an assessment. If you’ve ever gone for an autism assessment as an adult you’ll understand it’s actually incredibly difficult to get a diagnosis. My first time I was told I’m too intelligent and too good at socializing to be autistic—but he didn’t use autism diagnostic criteria, he just based it on stereotypes. Many women are told they’re too pretty to be autistic. They’re diagnosed with personality disorders and given medication. Being diagnosed as autistic doesn’t require medication. There’s no treatment for being autistic, therefore no reason to be over-diagnosed. A lot of you just don’t want to believe you’re autistic because you don’t fit into stereotypes. But there’s nothing wrong with you, you just have a different neurotype.

@micheal_ws18 Calf raises without a doubt

If you get paid $10,000 for each rep of an exercise but the weight is your bodyweight what exercise are you choosing, and how many reps are you doing?

@MimikiiLive @forestvanslyke I got a formal diagnosis in my 40s, and never once was one of those recommended for me. The basic approach is that if you are an adult who can perform basic life functions, there is no benefit to a diagnosis.

"No Treatment" For being Autistic? Ahem. DBT, CBT, OT, ABA, Speech Langauge Therapy, Floortime, SSRIs, Mood Stabilizers, Care Centers, Anti-Self-Harm tactics, etc.... If you were diagnosed, you would likely know this. They don't diagnose for no reason, or to give you a label and send you on your way. The purpose of a diagnostic is to decide treatment.

@Rothmus You aren't wrong

“The right think guns are used for hunting and protection, because that’s what the right uses them for. The left think guns are used for murder, because that’s what the left uses them for.” (Matt Tabor) Few statements capture the divide between right and left on guns more truthfully than this.

@Outspoken_Sam I don't judge people, but you do need to consider that you are putting money Into a depreciating asset more similar to a car than to a house. Whether or not I judge, the people you eventually sell to will judge that part.

Question: Do you judge people for living in a trailer? 😅 My husband and I are thinking about buying some land and putting a double wide on it. But I'm not gonna lie... the stigma of living in a trailer is definitely in the back of my mind. I don't tend to care what people think for the most part, but this is something that gets me.

@JJimmyRustler @NJEastCoaster @PowerOwn45 That is super easy to get around. One can easily change their residence before the nomination like Cheney did.

@NJEastCoaster @PowerOwn45 I would love this, unfortunately the election laws state that you cannot have a ticket where both President and VP are from the same state.

Gov. DeSantis and VP Vance both grew up in modest homes. Both went on to excel in the Ivy Leagues despite the inherent disadvantage. Both joined the military during the Iraq war. After that, the similarities end. One earned a reputation as one of the best conservative executives in a generation by his deeds while the other simply transformed his politics overnight to pander to populists. That’s why DeSantis writes books on the Founding Fathers and conservative governance while Vance writes about swimming in the pond at Mee-Maw’s. Vance is playing a role; DeSantis is fulfilling one.

@NJEastCoaster @PowerOwn45 I hope that the next administration includes all 3 of those men in prominent roles. I would prefer DeSantis at the top of the ticket, but any of the 3 would be good.

@PowerOwn45 It’s tough to judge people you’ve never actually spent real, in-person time with, but just going by deeds, interviews and reactions, I’d agree. DeSantis is a fighter. Vance is a politician. Rubio has surprised the hell out of me. DeSantis/Rubio.

@ssharmaUS I love the mildly self deprecating humor there. My family has a lot of that with ourselves, to poke fun at the numerous aspects of our names and background. Being able to not take yourself too seriously and make a mild joke at your own expense is a good sign mental health.

Acting Secretary Cao has many virtues, but I wanted to share one in particular: When I met him a few years ago he graciously gave me one of his challenge coins, which has a depiction of a bovine with rope around his neck…..a hung cow if you will. Whereas leftists and the poorly assimilated are constantly complaining that native-born Americans can’t pronounce their name, Mr. Cao decided to have fun with it. He, like me, is new here. He isn’t filled with seething resentment against whites for having a hard to pronounce name. He doesn’t write vapid personal essays about how his lunch smelled different growing up and that’s why we need DEI race communism. He is an excellent, patriotic, God-fearing, respectful American. I bet people still get his name wrong, he doesn’t care. He loves America and her people. Wishing him the best of luck in this critical role.

@AntiCommieBecca I think think that his point was more rhetorical, pointing out that men and women are inherently different. There is a lot of talk about gender inequality for high status jobs, but rarely for anything that is dirty or dangerous, even when they are high paying.

It’s so tiring seeing this type of nonsense. Why don’t women compete for jobs they can’t do? 🤦‍♀️ Gee, I don’t know, why aren’t men signing up to have babies? There is such a “birth crisis” why dont men have the babies then? Oh, that’s right because they can’t. 🙄 Telling women they should sign up for jobs they physically can’t do so the office feminine style jobs they can do should be for the men is the height of stupidity. Talk about destroying civilization, encouraging women to have babies AND do physically dangerous work so men can do feminine work is completely nonsensical! Knock it off!

@ThesilenceJames @UtahFlatRanger I missed a reference somewhere. What is the blue umbrella comment meant to be?

@UtahFlatRanger Carry a hand gun definitely but also a blue umbrella...

If you work in a Nuclear Research Lab Carry a Gun.

they did the meme

@scenbbin I am getting something very similar, with a 404 error when I try to open one of my presentations.

@CynicalPublius Most places put stickers or something to seal the order before any delivery place picks it up

I believe that one of the key indicators of the slow breakdown of American society is restaurant takeout orders. I estimate that roughly 50% of all restaurant takeout is defective. Half of the time you don’t get all of the items you pay for. It reflects a lack of pride and care when this happens—it’s extraordinarily easy to check an order against the receipt when packing up the order, yet it has a 50% fail rate. And yes, I have held boring, low paying menial jobs in my life, yet I always took pride in my work. Somewhere along the way in our society this has been lost, and it does not bode well for the future.

@she_obey You treat them like property, but apparently for you all property belongs to the state.

Yes, exactly. It's a pathological control issue that treats children like property and not people.

@Messinadress1 As someone who came up through public school, with 4 kids that did the same, I'd say a significant number of teachers arent smart enough to teach kids and are doing them a serious disservice.

You know, that text vs video part really did a lot more filtering than I realized.
