| And it's my opinion that "gay marriage" was pushed through because the far right refused to allow them the right of civil unions. That was my perception at the time. The right was so focused on fighting with moderates who felt that civil unions being passed as legislation was the only app... |

| https://www.lopezvoiceassistantsettlement.com/ That site has more details. As I see it, there are 2 different questions here: 1) Whether the general story (i.e. the class action suit) is genuine. The answer to that one is a definite YES. 2) Whether the specific website and the specific email are ge... |

| That was over 16 years ago, and no other woman has ever wanted to be with me before or sense then. What kinds of efforts, if any, have you made to meet women who might conceivably be interested? Also, kinds of efforts, if any, have you made to find potential friends more generally? And with no fami... |

| I find trying to make friends drives me crazy. I've been in this virtual autistic peer group before and I have no idea what to say, I can't remember people's names, and I drooped out of the group more than a year ago. A lot depends on how such a group is run. Ideally, the leader/facilitator should ... |

| It's always been hard for me to separate "social skills" from "masking". For a while I tried to learn social skills until I could talk to someone for a couple minutes and (I like to think) sound almost normal. But I didn't enjoy these conversations and I didn't feel like I was c... |

| The deployment of reflectors isn't a good argument to use against Moon Landing deniers; the soviets did the same with unmanned moon landings. Depends what kind of Moon landing denier, I guess. Some deny only that the crewed missions got there, while others deny all Moon landings by any human-create... |
