I just want to reiterate that this is true. A 12-year study from Northwestern University led to similar conclusions:

His name was Darrien Hunt, and he was shot in the back while carrying a replica sword.

One of the biggest complaints within the autistic community is that the only voices that people hear regarding autism are allistics (people who are not autistic). They dominate the discussion, often overshadowing the very people who they are trying to help. Many times, their efforts cause more harm than help, such as…

As an example, Stephen Mader, a former West Virginia police officer, was fired for refusing to shoot a black man (R.J. Williams) and choosing instead to attempt to deescalate the situation:

I was going to look for this exact video to reply to the post!

1. EMS is called. They will charge her anywhere between $500-$1000 to take her to the hospital. Even if she has insurance, the insurance probably won’t cover the entire ride. She’ll be out of pocket anywhere from $25-400

I learned about the electoral college long ago, and it works exactly as it was intended to. Major metropolitan areas who are overwhelmingly in support of a single party shouldn’t have control of the country’s interests.

This is the rallying point for all of those people who are upset about their infringed upon Freedom of Speech. This is an individual who has been punished for her very legal protest efforts by a government official. While not technically illegal, Frelinghuysen’s actions come perilously close.

We’ll be fine — as long as nothing is written on post-it notes!

Pedestrian and cyclist safety is important. But, like many other aspects of our lives, how we perceive cyclists is also exceedingly racist. We generally think of young, city-dwelling, well-off white people cycling for pleasure or workout, but many people within cities who are not white may ride bikes as a mode of…

If you assume that everything that you encounter in game is considered lore, then swearing crabs likely wouldn’t break immersion! There’s the merchant crab in The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind who is capable of speech.

Actual quote from 45:

If anyone is looking for an autistic, femme-presenting, woman-loving person, I volunteer! I’ll even paint my skin green so I can be more like my favorite smol gem.

Ever since then I’ve avoided the area of Brooklyn where it happened and I get nervous about drinking coffee and walking in hot weather.

Not entirely related, but there’s a similar discussion going on in the developmental disability community, particularly in regards to autistics. Many of us feel that it’s asinine to cajole us to behave like “normal” people when our brains are just entirely different in ways that affect interpersonal communication and…
