I strongly suspect he has autism (as a mom with a son on the spectrum).

Hear, hear. This is how you know they don’t actually give a shit about this kid. They knew this would be a disaster for him. It’s a disaster for any kid, but for an autistic kid, he’s going to be thrust in the spotlight and dissected, 24/7. How do you do that, when you know how awful that’ll be for him? And uproot him…

She stigmatizes it by making it something secret and shameful. She’s not protecting him. She’s protecting her image. She married for money and procreated with a sociopath with old sperm as insurance. She continues the charade because of what’s at stake financially. If her son is miserable, it’s her fault. Fuck her.

I’ve seen kids with that same expression. Of course if I explain why it’s not unsettling and they are really cool people who happen not to be neurotypical, Melanie might sue me.

Not unsettling to me, when I think of the rumors that he’s autistic. My autistic kid also has a very serious stare, but it doesn’t mean he’s unhappy. That’s just how he looks when he’s thinking.

Seriously. I’m so tired of reading about all the passive aggressive feuding that involves one or both of these women. (Taylor especially seems the type to act like nothing is wrong but then low-key sabotages you or talks shit behind your back to make things worse.)

“Yeah, no, I’d rather not have potheads building my subs.”

That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t evaluate if the rule makes sense. As a vet and a non MJ smoker frankly it seems ridiculous to me. Used to have beer on tap at my squadron and guys getting plastered after hours on Fridays. I simply don’t see any good reason for marijuana to be illegal if consumed responsibly. It’s…

Speeding is also illegal on interstate highways which are mostly/partly funded by the federal government. Get a ticket and move on. We treat MJ like a genetic test.

After the recent mega-recession, a lot of credit scores are junk and will be for some time. It is what it is. No one bailed these people out, unlike the folks on Wall Street that made bad financial decisions showing a lack of common sense, a lack of willpower, and extreme impulsiveness. And a LOT of these people,…

Odd. I thought the whole point of overspending on the military was to drive a competing Soviet Union to collapse?

This. I think we’re long overdue for a dramatic downsizing. The South China Sea is not our job. Those multi billion dollar ships can all be sent to the bottom with relatively cheap and increasingly prolific ASMs.

A lot of these issues would be avoided if the relationship between the Department of Defense and Defense Contractors wasn’t so incestuous. You’ve got military leadership lining up favorable appropriations for their buddies at Lockheed, McDonnell Douglas, Raytheon, Boeing, Electric Boat etc, and in return, getting…

I don’t know that this article establishes clearly:

“This country is about freedom and individual rights...liberty and justice for all! Now get back in there and say those words or else!”

It’s what conservatives do all the time, accuse their opponents of doing (or being) exactly what they are. It’s a very common tactic for them. Lately I’m hearing a lot about how “hateful” liberals are.

What’s funny is it gets more of a reaction out of them then it does the liberals.

They hate government but spend all their lives working in government. If the private sector is so great then go work there you dried up bag of smashed assholes!
