For context, I was on the internet before the Web was invented.

I think it really depends on how white you are. I'm 192cm tall, born in California, white as fuck with blue eyes, so I think that I'm pretty safe. However, I've cautioned my sister who was born on Java that she really has to take precautions. She's lived here and been naturalized since she was 1 years old, but even so, she's got brown skin, so she's a target for this RACIST AS FUCK government.

Are you winning if your only opponent suddenly changes into a child who throws tantrums every other day?

I am so glad I bought so much foreign currency in January.

Stupid is as stupid does. Oh wait.. I got that wrong. Liar is as liar does.

Fuck dude, we're all autistic.

I've always wondered what it felt like to mothers who didn't know they had a child inside. Like... how do you explain the kicking? Do you just think you have an alien and go about your day? I... struggle with not knowing what's going on there.

To be clear, native Germans are far better at English than most Americans are at this point.

TBH, I might struggle to actually shoot anyhing if it's as gorgeous as the limited gameplay videos I've seen are depicting it. Slow paced walking simulator where you are challenged to spot wildlife, yes please.

Get back in your loch.

Thirded.

Would you use your blinker in a car? Would you wink at your lover, from afar? Would you twerk and dimple, or is that too far? I don't know how to rhyme this anymore, ABLAR.

Well he does have tiny hands, if that helps.

Thank you for explaining why I was wrong.

And yet... You're being judgemental.

I'm not sure that there is any way to communicate it directly to you. I am autistic and have felt a specific lack of empathy pretty much my whole life. It's a learned skill for me. I had to learn how to remove my own thoughts, feeling and experience from the equation and intentionally put myself into someone elses shoes, so to speak. It has never been easy, but I suppose the difference between me and a sociopath is that I actually want to care.

Genocide is as genocide does.

I worked in a call center for a month, failed miserably, and I completely understand what you're saying, 20 years later.

Very true. I am a perennial optimist at heart.

Huh. I don't think I have ever voted against anyone. I always voted for people that I researched and agreed with.
