I'm with the Police. Shoot the rioters. They aren't law abiding or decent people.
As for the original person who was killed. He was a dangerous and boastful criminal. To hell with him. |

| This is good news to me, because it might finally end the ACA. Biden wants to make millions of poor people suffer by reinstating the ACA individual mandate. The ACA set a nasty legal precedent that non-commerce (not having health insurance) is commerce, and the government can tax you (regulate you)... |

| I got a job for the first time in my entire adult life (I'm 30 years old). The job is I have to pick up garbage for two hours, three days per week. I get to use a grabber and wear gloves so I don't have to bend over or touch garbage. I get paid in cash so it won't interfere with my SSI benefits. I ... |

Truthfully I am sad for George Floyd.
I do think that a lot of people who resist arrest deserve to be put on their ass pronto but choking someone to death is extreme no? |

| I go through something similar I think. My weeks always rotate and it has been like this for as long as I remember. One week I am productive and focused and the follow one I am hyper and distracted. It's annoying, mostly to people around me who don't know what to expect from me. I've made peace wit... |

| Hi there. I am wondering, does anyone else here have weeks or fortnights when they feel really manic and hard to slow down and concentrate? My sex drive also goes into overdrive and I spend all my time joking with my wife and trying to flirt. It tires her out. Also I then have weekends, especially w... |

| I think the world could be less "wrong" for me without hurting the NTs. Rather than cure me, I'd like to see the world cured. (That might fix some of the depression and anxiety.) That is a good way of looking at it. But I can't help but feel being autistic is day to day for me a struggle ... |

| I'll say it how I see it. Netflix promoted this thing incredibly badly and people RIGHTLY didn't like what it was advertising. The joke is that the movie condemns the very behaviours and attitudes and moral sickness that its haters are going on about. *Sigh* Tbh it doesn't look any fun to me and I d... |

| It would be unethical to hold it against him not going to work but my employer would honestly just say to me. 'Ben, if you aren't coping, come to work and we will help you cope. We still need you.' There is a middle ground and although meltdowns have made me feel very vulnerable over the years the o... |

| Don't be so hard on yourself. Your Dad does love you. He is also under stress and is worried. It is why he over reacted. All will be ok. And I hope your Dad will get the job of his dreams! THIS. Its a horrible event and its trickling down on the whole family. Dad has had his world upended and he be... |

| 1. Your Dad has his own issues, he is worried and on edge, he is losing his job. 2. He over-reacted. 3. Go to work. Staying home to try to recover after a meltdown or problems is never as noble or helpful as going to work. My colleagues are supportive and so work becomes therapy. Your issues are not... |
