I wasn’t the person who originally answered you, just someone who saw you lash out at someone and understood why. You said this (emphasis mine):

Invade Mexico, invade greenland, rename the gulf… hello… he’s bonkers, what the fuck are we doing letting this shit back in power…

And someone answered your question in the way that makes sense (second person plural). It’s not an aspersion, it’s literally just stating the consequences of us electing trump (we as a country did, regardless of whether you or I voted for him).

I think it would be the people who died or gave birth that day who would be pretty conclusive and immediate evidence for people, but that wouldn’t apply for those who are disconnected from the rest of the world.

But they can’t stop you from waking up there and they’re not going to spend every morning rounding the same people up. Even if they did, go ahead, throw all my shit on the sidewalk, I’ll still wake up there tomorrow. It would be interesting to see how they react to it, because there’s no meaningful way for them to control people (that I can think of, but they’re pretty creative when they need to be)

If it helps (it won’t), voter suppression has been working overtime since like 2012. My ballot didn’t come until the 8th of November, and I couldn’t spring for a surprise voting day flight home. For more local citizens, things like making them wait six hours and banning people from providing water are effective, not because people don’t care, but because people are concerned with immediate survival, so they might have to leave the line to go to work.

What difference does that make? If I pay my landlord $30 today, that money is back in my account “tomorrow.” Plus, it’s not like you can get an eviction through, all paperwork is blank at the end of the night, so only the things that people can remember are maintained.

You said we, this is a normal response that isn’t super accusatory or aggressive. It just sounds it because you’re interpreting it as directed towards you the individual, but it’s for “you all,” which is the standard way to respond to a comment in the first person plural

That’s also unclear, given the United States of Mexico.

Edit: I guess we could do Columbian, but I gotta assume Colombia would be annoyed and it’s not exactly descriptive of our foreign policy.

My mom died when my sister and I were approximately Buffy’s and dawn’s ages, respectively. It was an absolute gut punch to watch for me too.

Ah, okay. Now I get you, lol.

What exactly is obvious? The cops are not going to jump to death note being real and there’s basically zero identifying information in the choice of billionaires.

I think you could just straight up get away with it if you stuck to publicly known individuals like that tbh

Hold on for some Jared Diamond-ass reasoning.

Before sanitation rules, very broadly: Europe made alcohol to make potable water whereas Asia boiled it and made tea. When there’s no tea available or fitting your tastes, the water still needs to be purified, so drinking hot water was still a common practice which has stayed around as an aspect of culture.

I moved from Connecticut to Germany and I’m very happy about it.

My mom did die of cancer, but not lung cancer. They both quit when they were younger than I am, but each smoked much more in total than I have, so I think that’s a toss up. Smoking is basically my only unhealthy habit -I don’t even sit very much- but it’s a whopper of an unhealthy habit

On June 2, 2045, I’ll outlive my mother. My father is still alive and in pretty good health. I think I take after him, but I started smoking again recently. I’m tapering off pretty well though and I’m still relatively young.

True, I thought that’s what you meant by mind reading. Nevertheless, from the linked article:

This theory and subsequent findings challenge the commonly held belief that the social skills of all autistic individuals are inherently and universally impaired across contexts, as well as the theory of “mind-blindness” proposed by prominent autism researcher Simon Baron-Cohen in the mid-1990s, which suggested that empathy and theory of mind are universally impaired in autistic individuals.[13][14][15][16]

I also replied to them that that’s not the current understanding. Autistic people are able to demonstrate both types of empathy with other autistic people, and neither autistic nor allistic people can do it as well with each other. There are just way more allistic people, so we used to think the empathy disconnect was one-sided.

That’s not true, they can infer emotions with similar accuracy from the nonverbal communication of other autistic people. The double empathy problem prevents this from happening between autistic and allistic people (in both directions!)

Autistic people don’t lack empathy. I learned that as a kid too and it was a real barrier to getting diagnosed, because there are few qualities I more obviously possess than empathy.

Autistic people and allistic people use different signals to show their emotional state, so it’s easier for autistic people to interpret the emotions of fellow autistic people (and vice versa).
