Ugh, Jenny McCarthy. A problem for autism and for people who need vaccinations.
So, as for the "Autism should be accepted as a difference and not as a disorder; and shouldn't have to try to be neurotypical; and also should be treated with respect and love" vs "Autistic people should be given the necessary accommodations to function in the neurotypical world and should be treated with respect and love" debate, I'm torn.
Because I'm all for helping low-functioning autistics function and not have seizures or suffering or anxiety; because HECK YEAH. But I don't like the idea of just turning all autistic people into neurotypicals, because SCREW THAT.
I kind of think that there's a middle ground; and that's where I'm at.
Why are you guys so harsh on one sucky political party without being equally harsh on the other equally sucky political party? And also being equally harsh on the other political parties that are neither, and are equally sucky.
I mean, I'm all for you people realizing that politics is stupid and political people are awful and that the political right is not worth following; BUT YOU'RE ONLY ABOUT ONE-THIRD DONE. Now, you just have to realize that about the political left and the political everything-else.
The first single from Perc's forthcoming debut album, Wicker & Steel, "My Head Is Slowly Exploding," does justice to the album's title with an unusually tactile approach to techno, and an unusually stark one as well—six minutes of mortar blasts and a ringing in your ears. It's harrowing: apart from the regular kick drum, the music has been stripped of techno's usual crutches. Everything floats free around the faint, 4/4 vertebrae, and with more space between the beats, you hone in on the particulars of every element—the wide-open train whistle, the crumple of struck metal.
Ancient Methods go at their remix like a charcoal rubbing, filling in the empty spaces with droning, growling synthesizers and emphasizing the beat in quick, violent strokes. There's an echo of breakbeat hardcore in the groove, but the idea has more to do with the clanging percussionist Z'EV.
The other remix comes from Chris Carter, of Throbbing Gristle and Chris and Cosey fame. He's been turning up with increasing frequency in the contemporary electronic scene, with a recent reissue on Optimo and remixes, with Cosey Fanni Tutti, for Excepter. From the sound of things here, he understands techno better than most of the producers currently associated with the genre. Drawing out skeletal drum patterns and staccato synth tones over just a hint of a downbeat, he achieves more genuine tension than the most ashen, pummeling, by-the-numbers industrial techno cut. While nagging tritone riffs and nervous 16th-note patter stretch out like electric filament, the proportions of the thing blow out like soft glass. It's the head exploding as viewed from inside, in perfect, crystalline, stop-time motion.
there are plenty of idiots, liars and worse on the political left, too, and we have made fun of many of them here
but not all political parties are equally awful
some are definitely worse than others, and i see nothing wrong with disliking them accordingly
i mean a lot of my own opinions are 'politically left', so i'd be entirely hypocritical if i disliked everyone who espoused them
But I talk crap about my opinions all the time. I mean, I keep telling people that I'm wrong about most everything and that my opinions are stupid. Just because you hold an opinion doesn't mean you can't dislike said opinion or dislike people who have said opinion; or say that said opinion is wrong.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
If I'm the daughter of a black man and a white woman, does that make my improvised home repairs "ghetto" or "redneck"?

Slightly late response but, yeah, you do this, and i don't understand you doing it. If i thought my opinions were wrong, i'd change my opinions. Opinions are the very things you're supposed to stand for and believe in, otherwise they're not opinions, they're just, i don't know, feelings, or idiosyncrasies, or affectations.
Feel free to do what you want, but i don't understand it, so don't ask it of me.

Ok but seriously I used a butter knife to loosen screws while replacing a lightswitch because I couldn't find a flathead screwdriver and my brother wasn't home to ask
Like I could tell you where three hammers are if I wanted to nail something but if I want a screwdriver hahaha not gonna happen

Wait, how are we on page 3987? We were on page 3887 just a week or two ago.
