How hot is 400 slavery units?
When we say "emissions", we're talking about new emissions. Emissions that ultimately come from underground. Unless you've been drinking crude, your body only emits carbon that was in the air a year ago, so it's not new emissions.
I don't think every article ever published is read by the whole world. I think most of them are read by about as many people as the average Lemmy post
Well, I think it's funny. I appreciate an author who has style and passion, it keeps me invested. It's not like anyone's opinion of the lord of the rings matters, so I couldn't possibly be offended no matter what I thought of the movies.
Actually, the nutrients and glucose will be absorbed by your intestines. You'll pee the nutrients out, and breathe the carbon in the glucose out.
Well, now you have. The Hobbit is a silly, whimsical, and fun book. The barrels are awesome. I also like the singing and the dwarves giving Bilbo anxiety. My biggest gripe with the movies was that elf who romances a dwarf, I thought that plotline was boring.
Well, since you don't know much about autism, I'll tell you about mine:
- I struggled with social skills when I was younger, but once I had a diagnosis I spent a lot of time learning them and now I have the moves to execute them, so long as I conform to neurotypical ideology.
- Processing sensory stimuli takes effort for me. If there's more going on than I can safely process, my ability to perceive, think, and function will degrade. This includes noises, lights, textures, conversations, and noticing things around me.
- I can protect myself by erecting sensory barriers that exclude certain stimuli from my perception, but they take work to maintain and they aren't perfect, and they can lead to not seeing important things (which is dangerous when driving a car).
- I can create a fascilime of a neurotypical person for people to empathise with, connect to, and socialise with. But when it comes to sensing my genuine feelings, neurotypicals are simply less able.
- I cannot understand certain patterns of neurotypical thought. I can mimic them perfectly, but I can't think them. Whether to blindly copy others is a choice.
- Neurotypicals struggle greatly to understand my patterns of thought, unless they have a great deal of patience.
As an autistic person with NPD, I can tell you from direct experience they're very similar in terms of how they influence my relationship with society. Autistic people struggle to understand my narcissism, narcissistic people struggle to understand my autism, neurotypical people struggle to understand everything about me, and I get along great with other autistic narcissists, of which there are not many.
I agree, liberty in the west is shit too. Everywhere's horrible.
Actually, the nearby communities in meatspace are slightly better than international communities. Not by much, though
That doesn't mean anybody has to respect them
Oh BTW I am very queer and queer in ways that most queer people are totally unfamiliar with as a coherent concept. My queerness is as hard for binary people to make sense of as romance is to aromantic people. I was told two days ago by an autistic person that empathising with me gave them a headache. Are you gonna be able to be cool with that? Nothing I say will be offensive, but it might be deeply confusing and a lot of people respond to confusion by assuming hostility
There are plenty of ways to acquire permanent ownership of movies and TV, it's just that it isn't legal ownership.
