I'm really not interested in entertaining any social darwinist trash like this. The nazis tried it, it was dumb then, and it's dumb now. Keep this kind of nonsense to yourself.

According to the World Health Organization, 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes every year worldwide. COVID-19 has killed over 5 million people worldwide in just 2 years. So you bet wrong.

Polio types 2 and 3 have been eradicated but fair enough.

What are you talking about? It always was, this is not a Netanyahu thing. He was not prime minister during the nakba, he was not prime minister during the 67 war, he was not prime minister during Sabra and Shatila, he was not prime minister when the worst of the blockade on Gaza started. Fascism and ethnic cleansing is built into the very DNA of the country.

I don't know if it applies to people with adhd, but there is this theory that people with autism have weak central coherence. That is, they have a tough time dealing with broad strokes and assembling context into a comprehensive picture of reality. This manifests in simple things like preferring instructions like "buy one dozen eggs" over "buy some eggs", to more complicated things like understanding that someone is joking when there's a thunderstorm out and they say "nice weather". Oftentimes, people with autism are very detail oriented, and uncomfortable with missing puzzle pieces.

For me, this reveals itself very similarly to what you describe. If I want to center a div, there's a good chance I'll be looking up how css works, then at the eBNF form of css, and then probably the Chomsky hierarchy, and then probably set theory bc the formal language theory book I picked up uses it, at which point I'll probably be lead to learn about Russel's paradox and so on. It's debilitating.

I don't know if you're autistic (although there is like a 60% comorbidity with adhd), but I do know that folks with autism experience the same thing. I don't have a solution for you, but you could potentially find tips on dealing with this on forums for autistic people.

Did I say that? I'm just expressing my surprise at the fact that this guy was killed for his ethnicity, which, again, is German Christian. Never knew folks had so much flak for German Christians. Weird that the killer would yell "free free Palestine" right after killing a guy for being a German Christian, but I guess he just felt like yelling that, an it's wrong to assume him yelling that had anything to do with his motivations for the murder.

The guy was killed because he was a German Christian? That's crazy, I could've sworn the killing had something to do with him working for Israel or something, and because Israel is committing a genocide. But if you say he was killed because he was a German Christian, I'm not one to argue with that.

That is absolutely crazy. Thanks for sharing!

I know they do a lot of killing and they fuck up the local ecosystem, but I never knew they actually made extinctions happen. What species?

I need it, desperately. My gf knows this, pays me compliments, and every single one is a core memory for me. Also working out and getting a bit swole means you get a lot of compliments from the boys, which is also nice.
