| @Fire Blossom A reasonable conclusion @Fnord Despite parent's being the responsible party for most of those lessons, I do think classes about government should be more pronounced in school, I mean a citizen should be able to understand how their government, since it is incredibly pertinent to them a... |

| Kudos to both ASPartOfMe and jimmy m. I get more relevant news about the Coronavirus from this thread then I do from my newsfeeds on Bing and my nightly news shows. |

| Ok, so I read the article linked, and well "To help slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, precautions should be implemented to stay home once exposed to someone with COVID-19,** in addition to adhering to recommendations to wash hands often, wear masks, and social distance." Quote from paper. In ... |

| @idntonkw Primary and secondary school doesn't teach very many useful skills in life (aside from math.) They don't teach about taxes, government, and politics (they teach very little and not nearly enough), budgeting, cost of living, retirement, or any of the things you need to plan for a long succe... |

| Hello, WrongPlanet, it's been a while, I haven't had the energy to post (only could today because three day weekend, I really admire you posters who can hold down jobs and still find the energy to post something.) I have secured temporary employment until next year as a Covid tester, the pay is okay... |

| @beelove Life is hard, this is true for most people. Those born with Autism will have a harder time than most in this world to varying degrees based on our peculiarities. I comfort myself by thinking about how lucky I am I don't have to be worried about starving to death on the streets or dying of t... |

| I am kind of sad that I could not meet a transgender person on this forum. I suppose I will look into a forum more focused on transgender issues while researching more about this issue. If I change my position on this issue I'll be sure to make a post about the research I've done and why the transge... |

| That's concerning, that might mean that the Coronavirus will be endemic and that a vaccine might not be possible. I hope that's not the case. |

Saying I am uncomfortable sharing the bathroom with a transgender person is not ... |

| I suppose I should clarify my post a bit, since upon rereading it, it does seem like a directionless rant. 1. I want to ask aspies who have worked in an office environment about Socializing in an office context. What is acceptable, what is not acceptable, how do you get through it. 1. A. The neuroty... |

| So things went relatively well for my first day, except for the fact that I forgot to bring hand sanitizer and a mask, so I had to use a month old mask that I forgot in the car (luckily N95, so it should be protective), but it was probably dirty, still I only had to wear it for an hour before I was ... |

I feel a small cough coming on and with everything going on I default to Paranoia, especially as I have an old person at home, who could potentially be at risk.

Although I can understand the rationale behind getting fired for trying too hard, this particular instance that doesn't... |
