Trump threatens fund cutoff any campus where no free speech

Post Reply New Topic

Here's just one of my previous posts here on WP, the link to the post appears below it:

When you test as high as you can go for talent
and as low as you can go for social and communication skills,
you don't get a whole lot of sympathy.
Picture a Q trying to fit in with and be accepted by mortals
and live to tell about it ...

This year I plan to spend more time creating art,
something which I'm successful at ...
and less time beating my head against a brick wall
trying to make friends with people who claim to follow IDIC
but who feel intimidated, threatened, insecure, inadequate, and scared
at the first sign of someone who's different,
no matter how hard I try to be friendly
and all the things I do in an attempt to prove myself.

Star Trek fans in clubs who hold the rank of Captain or above?
Tend not to like me much ... all I have to do is show up
and they seem to feel challenged.

I do tend to get along well with
people with exceptionally high IQs,
and artists,
as far as good conversations anyways.

I had a best friend who knew I was Aspie.
I think she was one too, but I lost her to heart disease.

I have a couple of more casual NT friends that I've told ...
non-Star Trek fans, very normal and down to Earth.
It's taken them awhile, but they seem more accepting now.

Pretty much though I'm inclined to head back to the Continuum.

Another post here on WP wherein I self-identify as a Star Trek Q:
Again, link appears below:

Ha!

Seriously though, I see a lot of similarities between the autism spectrum and the Q Continuum:

1) Not liking loud noises (Q Junior)
2) Being mystified by humanity at times
3) Tending not to like change (as per Quinn)
4) Becoming expert in our areas of interest
5) Social skills? What are they and why do we need them?
6) Mimicking in order to communicate (think all of those historical costumes, Robin Hood, American Civil War era, etc.)
7) Standing back and observing ... someone at a Star Trek convention complimented me on acting in character as a Q for doing this, I replied that no, this was the real me, I wasn't acting.

As for the Borg, aren't they more NT? Talk about social conformity ...

Anyways, my question now becomes, why settle for just a planet?

P.S. ... As for my having appeared in Borg form in the past, that does not mean I'm an NT ... it just means I love costumes, which is huge in the Continuum, where communicating via such symbols is commonplace, especially when dealing with mortals (plus it's just plain fun)!

Exactly so, Darmok ...

and as you know, I have a metal ID bracelet specially made for me
engraved with that very quote.

I'm known as the phoenix here on WP,
but my friends call me Q.

BTW, are you absolutely sure it wasn't 5 lights?
* mischievous grin *

There. Are. Four. Lights!

I've thought a bit about Q, but this is the first time I've thought about engaging in political discussion.

Definitions partition.

This just in: new information indicates a unique situation which hardly anyone would infer from the context. I didn't infer it. Will comply. I extend that courtesy broadly, I hope.

I am not talking about trans people. They identify with the opposite sex. No problem to me. I fully support that. I tecongnize a trans person as the sex they identify with. I am talking about the other fifty genders.

You also mentioned "Definitions partition."
Yet what you see in my words, and now my photo, is my real personality and how I express it ... and so logically,
this is also how I will express myself politically. Mostly in words, sometimes in pictures.
Yes, this is a photo of me ... and the fireworks come from other photos I've taken.



For your rash judgment, you deserve to be turned into a Denebian Slime Devil.
And I have no qualms about sending people away.
Out of sheer boredom and for my own amusement, I suppose I'll give you another chance.

And what does any of this have to do with the thread topic?
Well, here again I present President Trump's tweet:
"If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view - NO FEDERAL FUNDS"

I believe that even minority or unpopular opinions, such as some think mine,
deserve a fair hearing, a chance to be heard,
without being immediately shot down or shut out.
Especially in a university setting.
And especially when that university accepts federal funds.
Keeping in mind that violence on innocent people is a crime.

This is America. You can be anything you want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. And fifty different genders aint hurting anyone. Chances are, you and I will never even meet anyone laying claim to any of those fifty.

Some countries are starting to pass laws forcing you to use their pronouns. Canada tried to pass that. They also had a case where someone disagreed with and group of feminist and the case actually went to court. He won, but it took him years to win. He lost his job and went into debt.

Perhaps, but Elvis Presley's adopted bigfoot/alien baby wrote an op-ed largely debunking those stories.

What?

Pretty much.

Rioting is exactly what Milo wants. He's seeking attention, makes inciting statements with a smile on his face. Then when people get angry "omg them librels are like so intolerant!"

People on both sides hate him. Just like there are people on both sides that hate Trump.

The right seems to have trouble separating the hundreds of rioters they see in the news versus the millions that peacefully disagree with Milo's opinions.

I read a story about a Milo supporter who appeared to want to get punched, and he got his wish. It was a huge gift for his Twitter profile, much like the Trump tweet was great for Milo. I had never heard of either one before the rioting, myself.

This looks more and more like the Reality TV presidency all the time. As noted elsewhere, my tastes run more towards British Baking than Apprentices.

Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver for president?
