| Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil. -- Thomas Mann That means it's Rogan or me, and I'm sorry to say that right now it appears to be me. Carlos, I pity you.

| I am asking this in all sincerity. May I pray for you, TwilightPrincess? If you would prefer that I not, then I won't. But I wanted to make the offer. All I will pray for, if given your permission, is for peace to be granted to you. That's it. I won't "sneak in" anything else. Just peace.... |

Yes indeed. Thank you SFBUM for telling your story honestly and candidly, and getting through life a day at a time in spite of it all. You have helped me more than you know.
Have an excellent Thanksgiving. You are not alone. Keep on keeping on. |

I certainly wouldn't start an X account now. I hope X's former HQ in San Francisco can be used for affordable housing.
I'd rather they razed it flat, ploughed the ground with salt, and put up a plaque. |

It's all about boundaries.
I'm a Christian. I found the 'Life of Brian' incredibly funny.
I don't find the Virgin Mary squirting milk at people out of her titties funny at all. |

Actually, they are. This is kind of the point. |

| Is fatigue common in autistic people? Might chores that most "normal" people do, like raking, be very fatiguing for someone who is autistic? Being in social situations is fatiguing. Chores, not so much. Speaking only for myself, yes. What GA said. What is exhausting is ad-hoc multitasking... |

| But its not a thread about gay people, and WP doesn't censor out topics that feature gay people unless they are rude and/or disrespectful. Think you've missed the point.
