Today's sharp jump looks like a "buy a block of stock today to push up the price"

The ongoing fall is ongoing.

When women forgo paid labor as a Tradwife or Stay-at-home Girlfriend (SAHG), they take a huge economic risk. Financial dependence=loss of power & control. And in reality few couples can afford it. 78% of US millennials are dual-career couples. cnbc.com/2024/04/24/the-rise-o

@Porpentina2017 If Obama had stolen classified documents, stuck them in the bathroom, and refused to give them back, Republicans would be demanding the death penalty. No exaggeration: they would literally call it treason and unquestionably demand his execution.

Now then, where's that note from the missus reminding me to do something or other?

Whether you like Israel or not, there is no way, US politicians would come together and deliver this package without aid to Israel, simply because Israel is a strategically important ally.

What really matters is, Ukraine is getting an enormous allocation of resources now, on top of all the aid already provided from the UK, Norway Japan, and EU countries.

Russia has not been able to take Ukraine during the 6 months delay, and now really powerful weapons are coming to help Ukraine win.

Dear all restaurants:
Don’t send me cutesy texts like β€œWe miss you” or β€œWas it something we said?” We aren’t friends or dating, and those come across as creepy.

"Twitter was assigned 'Twitter' at birth. It can't just go around calling itself 'X' and expect everyone to just play humor this obvious insanity. What we're seeing here is the collapse of Western Civilization."

Holy crap.

"I tried to enjoy this art piece about listening to the ambient noise but was rudely interrupted by the ambient noise" is a remarkable thing to have written down and published under your own name.

The last report I read said the farting was a problem for the Defense.

Growing up, Sesame Street taught me the importance of education, empathy, and kindness.

Bugs Bunny, on the other hand, taught me that revenge on my enemies should be quick, clever, and brutal.

President Zelensky held a meeting with the Minister of Enterprise of Denmark, Morten Bedskow.

"Thank you to the government and people of Denmark for supporting Ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.

We discussed the defense of Ukraine against Russian terror. We count on Denmark's help in finding additional air defense systems for the Mykolaiv region."
- President Zelensky

Uncharacteristically high quality post:
Happy 10 years to this gorgeous girl. Thank you for spending the best decade of my life with me.

A couple of weeks ago, in another place where I generally feel safe, someone made a scathing comment - not to me, or even about me - about "self-diagnosed autistics". Without a signed certificate, apparently we aren't worthy of the label.
I've been stewing about it ever since, and sometimes doubting myself. This morning I'm peeved. Who the hell is that person to make declarations about other people - including me?

My previous actually autistic posts gave me some excellent answers and furthered my processing a lot. Thanks to everyone involved! πŸ’œ

I self-diagnosed very late. Some big reasons have been a) not having certain stereotypical qualities such as aversion of eye contact, and b) scoring between NT and autistic in many online tests. Interestingly, the realization that I'm autistic wasn't that big identity-wise. I've understood I have certain qualities ages ago. Instead of a change in my identity, it's been a big relief to understand why I'm this and that.

There's still lots to process though. I'm only now coming to grips with how my memory works, for instance.

Ordered two books on autism, Neurotribes and the Devon Price book. Really looking forward to reading those.
