| I've always thought in thoughts more than words. Language can feel limiting, because you can only express a relatively small thought in a given sentence. The brain works so much faster than the tongue that it's impossible to ever truly keep up. I personally agonize over being unclear. I always pick ... |

| Chores are unfun usually. Worth considering that AS folks also often have things like ADD, anxiety, depression, and executive dysfunction which could make it harder to motivate oneself to pull away from the hyper fixation so you can do bland necessary things. At least in my experience. God I need to... |

The government does not encourage or support it. The Holocaust happened when Zionism was a nascent movement that ha... |

What, do people think their governments are playing fair and only China and Russia and other such boogymen engage in shifty behavior?

| How many people in the world today hate Jews, and how many of those people would have no issue with Jews at all if it weren't for Israeli genocide and segregation? Good question. There was plenty of hate before Theodor Herzl started Zionism. That is suggestive that if it were not for Israel another... |

| This is why we need one-party rule by the Dems, at least on an interim basis. Be careful what you wish for, cause it might just get you. It's hard to understand how someone can advocate for dictatorship while still retaining any credibility as a supporter of liberal democracy. Because it takes two ... |

| Compared to people I know, I really do not care for going out and usually prefer to stay at home. Often people will want to go out and do something or other most days, when I almost always am content to stay at home. Driving and being in a car is stressful/noisy. People want to go to loud places lik... |

| Out of the old big three, I consider Bleach to be better than Naruto. Live action One Piece is more or less my introduction to the story. (I've seen a few episodes a few years back, but not enough to know what's what in the series.) The live action has been very well-received by the fandom. They mad... |
