| When I was filling out the health insurance application today, it said that making false statements could be punished by $25000 fine and jail under "penalty of perjury". However, the insurance agency has made @ least two errors on my case thus far (and i think they were pretty significant... |

If that's in response to me, fair enough. In that case, there isn't really any issue. |

| I don't think there'd be anything much I could do about it one way or the other. Couldn't arrange a marriage for him. It would be up to women whether or not they wanted him. My son did tell me when he was approaching 30 years of age that he was worried about never having had a girlfriend. The only ... |

| When we talk about settlers/colonizers we are only talking about the modern era, not ancient settlers who might have settled in various areas over millennia. What matters in our contemporary context is the injustice perpetrated in recent centuries because it's an acknowledgment to people living tod... |

| Why do the types of people who hold settler/colonizer type views try to gaslight others when their worldviews are challenged? They become extremely defensive. If you are born in the country you live in, you can't be a settler by definition. Impossible. Yet when you point this out to these types, it... |

| It should be note that Roberson was not convicted for "shaken baby syndrome". My understanding is that the defense brought it up as some kind of perverted defense. The medical examiner who examined the baby girl, Nikki, testified that she died from blunt force head injuries, not from bein... |

| I would think pathological honesty would be a bar to the job. In fact I would think any kind of honesty would be a severe impediment to getting elected. Not necessarily. I've been thinking about that a lot today with respect to conducting business. And, radical honesty can work, however, the issue ... |

| TBH, people make far too much of virginity. I know some people do go to brothels to lose their virginity, but doing so really only addresses one issue that most people cease to even care about once they do have sex. Having sex doesn't really do much at all about human connections and the possibility... |

| Yes, the evidence points to genuine, large increase in autism rates, which cannot be fully explained by changes in diagnostic criteria or diagnostic substitution. It is frustrating that the increase tends to be brushed off as due to greater awareness, without research backing that up. There seems t... |

| I guess it makes sense an unknowingly Autistic psychiatrist would think an Autistic patient was acting normal. Same goes for parents of autistic adults that were never diagnosed. It's a major flaw when they require that the traits show up early on when the only source of information is likely the p... |

| And what do Trump, Musk (who is on the spectrum) and RFK, Jr plan to do to us who, like myself, were diagnosed as an adult? Commit mass murder? Honestly, probably nothing. The most likely outcome of all this nonsense is a drop in vaccination rates, and increase in infectious diseases spreading, and... |
