I responded to your response to me below, but again I want to stress two points.

I get that you googled something that confirmed your beliefs. But I am telling you, as a member of the disabilities community and a long-term neurodiversity advocate that the term “retardation” or “mental retardation” is no longer used diagnostically or in any formal sense. The term was replaced by “intellectual…

No. People in the disabilities community object to the term “retarded” because it is no longer used. The preferred term now is ID - Intellectual Disability. There is now a group of disabilities referred to as IDD - Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, which include various syndromes and disabilities that used…

Yeah, and the “n word” isn’t an “instantaneous trigger” for everyone who’s black. But you’re still an asshole if you go around saying it.

It may be worth having another assessment for autism, particularly if that will help you access therapy. Autism looks different in girls - well, honestly, autism looks different in everyone who has it, but girls tend to be missed/misdiagnosed the most. As a neurodiversity advocate, I tend to shy away from…

Since this is ostensibly a Hamilton-related thread, I am obliged to post at least on Daveed Diggs gif. I hope it brings you some small comfort.

The episode of Black Mirror with Hayley Atwell and Donal Gleeson is like the best thing ever.

That was also how I was. I probably spoke a dozen words total before I was six, and then I started speaking like a little professor. I haven’t shut up sense - although I’m now in my 40's and I still get mute when super-anxious.

I had selective mutism as a child - I was just talking about it with my therapist the other day. I was not diagnosed (with that or autism) because back in the day they thought I was “just shy.” I didn’t know I was autistic (or what selective mutism was) until I had my own autistic child.

I guess the real question is whether the country is ready for two Methodists.

Honestly. This was one thing that turned me off Bernie in the primaries. I mean, I know he cares about environmental causes, but this is a guy who wrote in the 70's that breast and cervical cancer at caused by not having enough orgasms. And he’s still seriously anti-GMO, which just isn’t the battle that needs fighting…

The anti-vax thing is a huge NO for me. Honestly, if I weren’t already on board, I might be driven to vote for Hillary because she’s the only candidate left who isn’t an anti-vaxxer.

YES! I wish there were some good polling on this, because anecdotally the majority of BernieOrBusters I know are former Paulites. I think it will be interesting to see how many go for Jill Stein and how many go for Gary Johnson. I know a couple of Bernie-to-Johnson voters, but their only issue is legalizing marijuana.…

Well, Jill Stein is safer, because they KNOW she’s never going to be in a position of power. Stein couldn’t even win a statewide race. She might share the correct left wing ideologies, but she’s no more qualified to be President than Trump, except that she’s not a racist, homophobic, misogynistic orangutan. However, I…

That totally beats Swiddleston.

If the next movie flops, he's just going to be known as yet-another Taylor Swift ex-boyfriend.

That’s how I feel, too, and I’m a woman who finds other women attractive. She just had that robotic quality that makes her unappealing in an “uncanny valley” sort of way. Then again, as much as I generally enjoy Tom Hiddleston in movies, his offscreen demeanor has a lot of that, too. Maybe they are in love. Maybe this…

This is my all time favorite, because Daveed + bacon is pretty much peak fantasy.

I am so sorry.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean to sound so confrontational toward you. I got wound up by this story and by some of the more heartless replies in this thread. I was really just trying to say that regardless of the precise amount they are worth, Cinemark does NOT need to make these people victims twice over. Didn't mean to…
