Agree! I love his works dearly! And the new netflix show is fantastic! But man oh man does his ramblings about almost anything get really really weird.

Yup, peeps don't like to admit how totalitarian / dystopian all the sea countries really are, or how enourmously proud the average man or woman are of all the regressive ideals and cultural norms. Thinking real change is possible in a system if we "get off our hands" is so unbelievable naive. Has anyone in this thread actually spent any time working or living in Japan or any other Asian island nations? The xenophobia and classism is so next level the only comparison in the west is a deranged Trumper who believes white people should be paid more than any other race for their contributions to ccultured civilization.

I don't have alot of personal experience with transphobia as other than Fillipino and Thai ladyboys, who are kinda their own thing, culturally. (Not to say their societal reputation is very good, or even a positive, as they are basically expected to emgage in sex work. I have never meet a asian trans person outside the west other than the two previous examples.

Japan is on of the few western aligned countries that i believe literally needs a big dose of post modern French style feminism. Full on women strikes across the board. The average Japanese man is physically and emotionally incapable of taking care of himself and any potential children or dependents.

Is say 80% of swedish really "Scandinavian" armed forces materials are built from the ground up for a very specific purpose (not the Danes, but add the Fins)

To cause the maximum amount of harm in terms of $$$ and lives to the Russian armed forces should a war be unavoidable while minimizing the $$$ and loss of life on the Scandinavian side.

The rest is for export strictly. Usually nasty stuff. Cluster bombs, rebranded Nato missiles etc.

We have had 80 years of military theory and development figuring out specifically how to fight Russians. Talk to a finn about it. They're entire conscription service is based on training to fight the Z should the need ever arise.

Also sweden is the #1 weapons exporter per capita no?

Nope, my bad it's Isreal with Sweden @ # 2

Don't trust us when we talk about world peace and love lol.

Sweden no longer exports cluster bombs since 2019!

Hurra!

Damm double-jumping trannies coming to take my fish.

This is somewhat true. I'm fairly knowledgeable about this topic (US) im pretty sure Children still cannot be officially diagnosed with a severe personality disorder until usually 14-18 depending on the state and the personality disorder. Usually it's higher age brackets for more "severe" disorders like aspd. Yet weirdly low for add, adhd and odd. Depends mainly on state.

Many problematic children will be diagnosed with both odd and adhd /add at a young age and the moment they "age out" of youth services they'll be immediately diagnosed with aspd or a whole bouquet of other DSM's. This is one of my bigger pet peeves as parents are often left out of the loop pourpousefully simply as there is no "solution" to a child with such issues other than buttloads of money and time.

To add, as someone who has worked with children and children with behavioral issues. In multiple countries and cultures:

We usually know with like 80% certainty by the time the child is I'd say six or seven, roughly what is wrong with any given child, and can give pretty spot on diagnosis between ourselves. We are ofc not allowed to speak with parents regarding most of these issues, that's a 5 minute talk between a child's psychologist and its parents every six months. And Timmy just can't sitt still for more than 20 minutes! It's a disaster! But other than thst he's a little angel!

Also, imagine telling a Karen her precious angel tried stabbed another kid with scissors?

Yeah I fucking stabbed her, I fucking stabbed the lil bitch in the face cause I fucking hate her fucking bitch"

And then two weeks later you almost loose your job, cause surprise. Timmy just stabbed the lil bitch in the FACE with Scissors. I know from the grapevine Timmy is now in a locked mental health juvie. Like. How do I explain. We all knew? All of us who ever worked with him told each other he was going to spend the rest of his life getting bailed out of jail by mommy and daddy, or dead, or 15-life. We knew he was dangerous. Deranged even. Why dosent anyone listen? Parents didn't care, administration didn't care. Hell the only people who seemed to actually care were us and the girls parents. (big and biggest Bitch)

It's this shit + the metal detectors (+admin) that makes people like me charge 100$/h tutoring autistic kids now instead of working 50% and volunteering 50% at local school districts.

I am not a teacher. Just a giant guy who has always been good with kids. (I never stopped being one)

I dont think im intelligent enough to get into the nature vs nurture argument. It's a doozy. My opinion is "why not both" I've seen both sides proven imo, a good nurture just gives you alot more tools to use.

This comment right here.

Any migraine (or headache) longer than 72 hours is not normal and should be looked at.

I've had 2x migraine periods in my life, one caused by a gum infection. Worst pain in my life Felt just like an ocular light induced migraine until day 4 or 5 when the pain got to ice pick levels of pain. Ended up needing oral surgery and tubes placed inside my mouth / sinus for a few weeks to belp drain pus and stuff.

Check any part of your face / forehead for pain and swelling.

The other was series of minor and micro strokes. I only experienced tingling, migraines and hand pain.

Had no idea! Get bad and frequent migraines checked out!

Dude go back to reddit

Thank you.

Yes the US criminal justice system is fucked.

But this is not some poor schmucks getting shafted by the Gov just because.

They are both pulling every trick they can to stall this.

Cause giving guns to children who then shoot places up is just an expression of muh freedums!

Peaceful protests have rarely ever worked historically innmy opinion.

Peaceful protest juxtaposed with violent protests and mass civil disobedience has historically been effective.

I.E mlk vs malcom x

Or in this situation ghandi vs most of the other leaders.

Who burnt parts of the country down every time ghandi was arrested / ignored

"We must peacefully protest" results in nothing

We must peacefully protest - aka - we must not anger our overlords to much lest they be truly angry with us.

You're the man! Much snappy.
