>“I want Americans to understand the law – and that it’s not just an opinion poll about whether the supreme court thinks something is good or … bad,” Barrett said. “What the court is trying to do is see what the American people have decided.”

No, 30%.

I am forced to disagree with the first point of your assessment.

empathy

[em-puh-thee]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

1. the psychological identification with or vicarious experiencing of the emotions, thoughts, or attitudes of another.

Even if someone were actually sorry about how another person feels, that is very different from psychological identification with how the other person feels, or vicariously experiencing what the other person feels. At best, “I’m sorry you feel that way” is an expression of pity and/or condescension.

Bombas Merino wool socks. They’re a party on my feet, and everyone is invited.

“I’m sorry you feel that way” is pretty much just a lie though, isn’t it?

Are you coming on to me?

I thought the NRA went bankrupt?

Instant death?

Does my autism count as a qualifying condition?

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

The bright froot loops or the dull Canadian ones?

If you people aren’t upset over itchy tshirt tags, then y’all are the ones with a problem.

Not with that attitude

We DO have a higher population. But most of us are so used to masking our divergent behaviors that we have no idea that there is an explanation for why our thought processes differ from neurotypicals. We don’t know we’re autistic. But now that I know, I can confidently say that I like myself, I like how my brain works, and I do not have a disorder, or an illness, or any kind of affliction. I’m wired differently and I’m good with that, and I would not change even if I could. Bobby Kennedy and his brainworm can be forcibly drowned in a vat of molecular acid as far as I am concerned.

That video was amazing except…not a single.numpad.in sight.

Same. And I thought I was the only one. That I just sucked as a person. It wasn’t until age 45, and after reading posts like this one, that I found out others shared my experiences.

I would have liked my parents to have been understanding of the fact that I had anywhere from serious difficulties up to and including inability, to do things they took for granted as necessary parts of life. Unfortunately they chose the methods of constantly yelling at me, belittling me, and being utterly dismissive and respectless.

also all my friends hate me
