| I really hope Ukraine won't become a partizan thing in USA. It was bad enough that covid was. Meanwhile, I'd keep my eyes on Kherson. Today, civilians got text messages from Russians, urging them to "evacuate" with buses they provide. I have a very bad feeling about this. My bet: men from... |

| This study is basically saying that because autistic people generally tend to follow moral rules whether in public or in private, they are too inflexible and therefore not normal. Isn't it better to stick to your morals wherever you are? Right Temporoparietal Junction Underlies Avoidance of Moral T... |

There is no single Aspergers cookie cutter presentation, just as there is none for Autism
Some Aspies are smart others less so compared to NTs.
Those who use stereotypes with ASD will only be proved wrong. |

| If autism is a neurological condition that cannot be cured what is the point of therapy? Maybe I’m wrong but it’s a fair point I think therapy is more useful for neurotypical people with neurosis like anxiety and depression or some other trauma. It allows them to recover or move on from their sympto... |

| It appears satanists are atheists who believe there is mysterious supernatural powers operating in the universe. So a satanist will say there is no god no devil no commandments from higher up do what you like and f**k everyone else, to put it simply. I should imagine a satanist world would be very u... |

| I think what your all referring to is a neutral zone. Countries in the neutral zone don’t belong to a military block and have no foreign military bases on them. Sounds a perfectly sane and good idea but many E European countries have an ancient hatred ( justified ) to Russia and they use the US who ... |

The sanctions were on the European side
There were demonstrations that week in Germany wanting nord stream 2 to be switched on.
Some say the US did it to take that option off the table, Biden did actually say he’ll make sure NS2 is never switched on regardless earlier this year. |
