^There go my cheesecake cravings.
Thanks for that.

someone could do their nut

I don't get why so many people are like, "women shouldn't be into video games/playing sports/becoming a doctor/becoming a police officer/becoming a chef (outside a household kitchen)/driving/voting/going out in public without a male escort", but then they're like, "Since you're so liberal, then go shovel the driveway" or "get a job as a garbage collector."

So it's only when it's something you don't want to do that it's equal rights?

I don’t get how sunburnt flamingoes can balance on a nightstand.

Or, why I can’t chew wheat and swing a demijohn all day.

There are ppl who are addicted to virtue signalling and will find any opportunity to do so to put others in their place.
It is mostly a power game.
Many ppl are consumed with the desire to dominate others.
Psych 101.

i don't get why Court prosecuetors can break laws and not get in any trouble even in homicide cases???.

It's a reflection of entitlement.
They deserve everything they value.
They view others as less deserving, so no matter what they expect the other to accept whatever is left. Bah, you don't want this scrap, take this other one instead.

The other will have equal access, this is going to reduce my share/access/control somehow.

Fragility makes it difficult to express criticism when harms aren't so much malicious so much as ignorant.

I'm not meaning to call anyone out personally, they're just providing a case study of a much broader trend.

I don't get how to have constructive dialogue when the criticism is so harmful to the recipient's ego that they can't stand to hear it.

A lot of x recoil from criticism from y. This might even go broader than power dynamics, it's just that power dynamics sometimes allow for retaliation or at least more sympathy when it occurs.

Everyone's a glass cannon, too few people are tanks.

I see tons of emails & ads wanting me to donate money to various nonprofit groups that are fighting to protect or expand government funding for various programs. Why would people donate so the nonprofits can fight for increased government funding for programs instead of donating to be directly used by those program's budgets If I had money to donate to expand Social Security, I would want to donate directly to the Social Security program instead or having to deal with the middlemen groups that would do who knows what with said money.

People who lie.

Sometimes when I lie it's because others actually tend to believe my lies easier than when I tell the truth. Perhaps it has something to do with my nonverbal body language or others sometimes refuse to listen to the truth if it's something they do not want to hear or believe I'm not really sure

^ I can relate to not being believed. Sadly, it's pretty common for us autistics to experience that.

It's also something that's been mentioned in the good practice guide for mental health professionals (found on https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/ne ... -therapies).

People who claim to want a fresh start but then proceed to go to war.

Thank you very much for this link ...it seems to make sense to me . i do get this info in this link !

^ You're very welcome.

Thanks, the same to you

That's how decent people should behave. I think the problem is that social media has allowed everyone to sit anonymously behind their keyboards and type awful things. So other people have fought against them, and they fight back so it's a constant ding dong battle of fighting.

The human race needs to calm down and try to get along with each other again. When I was little, my socialist parents had conservative friends. They didn't get into arguments, they just didn't talk about politics for the sake of getting along well and having fun social events. They talked politics when they went to political meetings. There's a time and a place for things.
