Consodering the fact that savantism or special talents aren't actually things that actually have anything to do with Aspergers, I reckon you're basing your assumptions on stereotypes and not even the Wikipedia article on the condition.

That's possible, but in that case whoever made the arrangements weren't familiar with her work. I mean a lot of the plot points with Hanna(h) in Girls are about having to do shitty work to support your art.

I totally understand that, and won't be making any comments of the type "as offensive you might find it, I've heard that bi people say this or that ISN'TNT THAT RIGHT CHEERFUL EXGF???!!"

(Kinja posted my last reply before I was done) I was going to write about how Buddhism and modern Cognitive Science disagree with common Western ideas about what one should do about anger in relation to someone wronging you so badly. There are two major ways of thinking seen in these comments: anger is either…

I'm late to this party, but I just wanted to express my support and on the other hand, disappointment at the people here who somehow think being gay/straight/bi/pan/+ is just about who you'd like to fuck. I think that mindset has developed partly as a reaction to homophobia. Instead of the extreme demonization and…

I came down quite harsh, but I see what you're getting at. There is so much to criticize about Paula Deen the person, but her recipes use what are the more basic and easily accessible ingredients to a lot of people. Her brand is the comforting everywoman, and the fact that that means relying on cheeses are close to…

I don't want to defend Paula Deen, but a lot of the arguments against her cooking are the same kinds of things that wouldn't fly in the comment section of a Jezebel post on poverty and obesity. "Live in a food desert? Just drive to a farmer's marker then!"

More like classism, really.

Yeah stupid poor people, why don't they just get over themselves and travel to Europe?

I would assume that the comic book's plot doesn't center around praising Spider Woman's ass and the guys who toss her salad like their name was Romaine.

That's true. But bruises on women are seen diffidently than in men. I was only hald-joking when I told my boyfriend I wouldn't start going to marshal arts practice during the summer because even when I was single the bruising made people ask questions.

I wholly agree. As depressing as it sounds to have to prove oneself capable of not posting imagea of rape, using images in replies with Kinja has always been very easy compared to many other commenting systems I've come across. And with the internet being what it is, the rape .gif problem isn't really surprising in…

Disabling images uploaded from accounts not followed by users fulfilling certain requirements. Or accounts that are new. Or disabling images on specific posts, posts by specific users, or posts with a specific tag. Having to opt in to see images that are otherwise disabled...

I think the support you are receiving here shows that they have not really considered how significant a problem this is for a large slice of their business.

Ugh, I knew someone had to make this point. Soon the offended Americans willl come out mentioning various issues with the sexualization of children (age of consent as low as 13, anyone?) and the discussion will be reduces to the one-upmanship between different cultures, without ever stopping to analyze anything…

It's bizarre that a book that was read to me before I had even learned of the birds and the bees has a cover I'm afraid to post here directly despite being the most innocent and harmless thing in the world. (it is at the end of this page, along with the modified one for the English market).

The upscale Finnish department store chain Stockmann used to offer something called home fitting, where you could take clothes home to try without buying for longer than a day. This was only for customers who has their higher tier loyalty card you could get if you spent enough money there. My folks had it one year…

For anyone wondering if a knife is a good thing to purchase for protecting themselves, it isn't. Hell, even a guy who brought his own rubber knife to practice managed to hit me twice in the protective goggles (this was at a martial arts seminar held by a guy who trained law enforcement in the use of force).
