I also think he’s being willfully obtuse. Thank you for the ASD primer that I do not need. I am autistic and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that people with his type of bigotry absolutely hate to hear how they’re acting anything other than “normal”.

I am autistic, jackass. I don’t want to hear about this asshole’s family just as much as he doesn’t respect diversity. Check out my below comment before you grab for your pearls.

Because despite the fact that Mr/Ms/Mx Deplorable up there is clearly just a trolling asshole who thinks that any queer or neuroatypical person should just “be normal,” I have a good strong case of the autism myself and I actually don’t want to talk about my family at work nor do I want to hear about anyone else’s.…

Because most people like to talk about their families and sexual reproduction is how the average human gets into a family. I don’t know what to tell you dude, we can’t all be autistic. Get some headphones and play white noise through them or something.

But social media postings are not testimonial in any sense of the word, nor are they remotely secure. When you hand in documents to the government or you give verbal testimony, you attest to their truth and completeness. No one tells the whole or real story on social media, which is the important thing here. Not only…

There are definitely some misconceptions in popular culture that therapy and counseling have to be this ongoing thing with no planned end. I’ve done cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and the idea that one has to break up with a therapist for anything other than a conflict is bizarre to me.

No, this is not about whether you think you have a legitimate gripe with the way someone is dressed (by the way, the only offended person in the scenario you described is you). This is about who should handle it (hint: it’s not your job).

Right, but we could be imagining two different things here. If Katmandu is wearing clothes that properly fit, say 1 1/2-2 inches of ease throughout the garment with no gapping at buttons and no cleavage and/or happens to be small-waisted and large-breasted, there are plenty of people who would say that’s dressing like…

Right? That’s why it always confounds me, especially when people clearly have no people skills. Just admit it man, you have no idea how to handle this! Go to the pros!

Why do people think they need to sidestep HR? HR is there to keep the company from being sued for sexual harassment when they take it upon themselves to tell a co-worker she’s just too sexy for this job.

God thank you, tilapia tastes like shit. I’d eat it if it were free and I were starving, maybe.

Just because they “aren’t” selling the data doesn’t mean they aren’t storing the data. Would you like sound clips from your home associated with your email address, physical location, IP address and more stored somewhere with questionable security? Sonos is a big company which makes them a big target, so breaches are…

That is some righteous ass wallpaper but I am a small child trapped in a woman’s body so this makes sense

It varies for the individual. Don’t talk to me about lifting heavy, I put up 85% bodyweight on major lifts with a torn hip labrum.

God, I hate beards but I’m still nursing the hell out of that one. He’s on my time machine list.

This is beautiful

Is this where I vent my disdain for every fucking soccer mom-driven Cayenne? Fuck luxury SUVs and crossovers in general but ones made by sports and supercar makers are just extra disgusting.

No one was suggesting the exercise be banned, buddy, this is informational. The only people using body image politics are the “fitness experts” exploiting women’s vulnerability over their looks to sell them snake oil.

Ten minutes of this one exercise isn’t anything. Physical and occupational therapy will assess your overall movement, show you how to do your normal activities in ways that don’t aggravate this or cause other problems in the process, and give you a good frame of reference if this is something that needs more attention…

Because it’s not spot reduction. The pooch they’re talking about, if you’d read either the NPR article or the one you’ve commented on, is muscle separation and not fat.
