Ad hominem attacks do not prove you are right and the other person is wrong. They do not prove any intellectual or moral superiority on your part. They do, however, considerably reduce your credibility.
@John_Al_Johnson @paulapoundstone Not the Prius. A responsible driver maintains a speed and distance from the car in front of them which enables them to safely come to a stop if the front car stops "willy nilly." If you're driving too fast and/or too close, you can't react in time and you will rear end someone.
there should be a restaurant called โSoup and a Bookโ where you pay a flat rate and then sit by the fire reading while sampling as many soups as you like
@taperoo2k Honestly, I think there should be an intentional community started up by and for autistic folks. Some cheap acreage in the boonies with tiny houses spread out on it. Community and/or individual gardens & chickens... no commitment to socialize, but it's an option if you want to...
@InfluenceNot @RossKneeDeep Sadly, you could name any and all atrocities committed by human beings and there will be SOMEONE who thinks it should come back/continue.
@Flynnisaware Have you given any thought to why you choose to associate the primary sexual organs of 1/2 the human race with negative things/people? It's profoundly misogynist, and little girls who grow up hearing it internalize that misogyny. I know it's common in the UK, but it's a CHOICE.
@EleniTWehner I had mine off from the get go. There was no way I was going to put up with being constantly assaulted with notifications. Social media isn't the center of my life, nor do I want it to be.
@ProfessorCrush Safe encounters with cops should be a RIGHT, not a PRIVILEGE. As long as you are prattling on @ "privilege" you are part of maintaining the status quo. As soon as you start focusing on the behavior of the cops instead of trying to guilt trip random white folks, change will begin.
@ProfessorCrush I deeply and sincerely wish that people would spend less time/energy trying to make people feel guilty for the "privilege" of not being abused/murdered by racist cops, and, INSTEAD, put all that energy into actually changing the nature of policing in the US.
@shaun_hutchings Looks like you're trying to activate "xray mode" in your glasses. Does it work? Can you detect any gallstones amongst the people standing in front of you?
@MadeleineSwann "The vehicle is driven by a goat..."
Apparently the writer didn't have a high opinion of this particular farmer. Not saying they were wrong. I've never met the guy.
This is the miracle of vanlife. With just a minimum of luck, and a fair bit of elbow grease, a person who otherwise would be homeless has a safe, comfortable, and pleasant place to live.

Growing old means you're a SURVIVOR! If you meet every challenge and heartbreak that life throws at you, and you are still alive, still sane, still HUMAN... Then you wear those birthdays like a crown, my friends. Like a magnificent freaking CROWN.
