Maybe cos I'm using a very old phone and I missed something Some weirdos that want the USA to be some sort of creepy Christian cult chanting about America being soaked in the blood of Christ and a bunch of other culty stuff.

Another thing about this movement in which they only want things like gay actors to play gay characters, and say autistic actors to play autistic characters, is that this movement I feel is problematic in the sense, that when someone applies for a job, it's considered unprofession... |

| It's not important continue at all! To think we're so special that we simply must keep breeding is the height of egotism. I don't wish for our species a miserable, traumatic extinction, but I have no doubt that every other species on Earth will be much better off without us. After all, they and thei... |

| Having a child over the age of 30 increases the chance of autism, also having a baby in your teens increases the chances. And firstborn. Basically everything causes autism. Whoa! That's one lonnnnnng gestation period and one helluva painful delivery! :wink: (My mind misread your sentence the first ... |

| I'm curious to know what the 17-year-old brother actually wants to do. I'm guessing he isn't into getting interviewed by journalists. There's a lot of people on the spectrum who are unable to express themselves and rely on parents, siblings and carers to act on their behalf. Of course--I absolutely... |

| This is different than a live-action show or movie where each role is usually cast individually. In that case, if you've got an Indian character you should cast an Indian actor. But Azaria voiced half the town. The idea that one comedian can voice people of various ages and backgrounds and it's tot... |

| I'm so sorry your dad is being so manipulative and disrespectful towards you. Drunk or not, reckless driving is an offense that can be punished by law. In Texas, a reckless driver is broadly described as: "A person who drives a vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or... |

| IMO it's definitely worth it to work/keep working your lower body, especially if you look at things from a fitness (vs. aesthetics) angle. While you should train your quads, hams, glutes, calves, etc., you could also tend to muscles that often get overlooked or taken for granted until there's a prob... |

| I'll second babybird's recommendation regarding a doctor's advice and I'll also suggest walking. If a lack of cardio fitness or mobility is preventing you from getting back into dancing right now, you might try walking to music with some choreography worked in.
