| There were a lot of complaints by right wing media about how he spoke in Spanish but not English. I looked it up and the most popular language in the Americas is Spanish at 400 million. English comes in second at 280 million. Good to see that he is looking out for all Americans, not just the ones No... |

The company I worked for had a technical editing test. Highest score as well! I'm sure there were better editors, but I aced the electrical engineer... |

There are 23 Asian Cardinals, with perhaps 1/3 having potential to be a Pope.
I think they wanted an Pope who would clearly stand up the current American Administration. |

| I learned that when competing in contests involving technology, it is often best to just be a little better than the competition. Sometimes a clever little hack is better than working really hard to win. It took me a while to figure that out. |

| I like the term non-binary because I'm Assigned Male at Birth and have constantly male-failed. I remember a TSA agent identifying me as female as I was walking up to the security screening right after 9/11! That was when I had a full beard! I'd wear boys' clothes because I was too small for men's cl... |

Aspergers is fine if they know what it means.

| Which is obviously hypocritical seeing how much they spend makeup and other gender affirming care! Republicans love gender-affirming care, but only if it affirms a cisgender identity. Beard removal and breast augmentation are readily available for MTF transgenders because so many cisgender women un... |

Welcome!
Maybe you could help out in a public garden to be in nature and learn useful skills?
I've weeded gardens while listening to someone giving a presentation to a group on the History of Roses.
He say that doing so was just fine, it was work that needed to be done. |
