The article went into a level of depth that I did not expect from the first paragraph. I strongly encourage all to read it in full. The effects of services and support being cut really highlights how regressive past and pending changes are for families of and individuals with Autism, plus a warning of a cycle that is set to repeat.

According to the original article, he was here legally waiting until their court date in 2027 to see a judge. He is not a US citizen, but he also is not an “illegal alien.”

No alleged history of crime. No crime in process when detained. Was following the immigration process.

If anyone wants to argue with you about others who have been detained and deported as being “criminals” or “illegals,” this should be evidence to the fact that it isn’t true and ICE doesn’t care. We’re in the slippery slope now.

It’s weird seeing an SCG that isn’t fully portion-marked

"These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada's unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition, especially in Agriculture," he continued. "Our Great U.S. Dairy Farmers deserve fair treatment from Canada. Enjoy it while you can!"

The bastard cries about “unfair policies” that use tariffs to protect a country’s industry and yet in his own Steel and Aluminum tariffs declaration he stated:

“To allow U.S. aluminum producers to restart production and to incentivize new capacity, additional adjustments to section 232 tariffs on aluminum need to be made, including limiting exemptions and increasing the tariff rate.”

Literal toddler tantrums.

Adorable Tortie! Wish mine wasn’t so timid. She’s a walking disaster (chewing plastic and paper) but super loving and playful.

Same! My comp Sci class in high school started us off with Turbo Pascal and Delphi. You wouldn’t get C/C++ and Java exposure until your second year. I haven’t ever considered going back and re-exploring it though. Perhaps I should locate my old floppy disks with the original assignments on them and review just how awful my code was just a little over a decade ago.

Ask him how he plans to stay “manly” when he’s unemployed

Not all teenagers think rationally. Depending on how “rebellious” this one is, they may not care to consider such a thing as it’s a “future me” problem.

Probably better to ask him how he’ll handle his peers and potential crushes actively avoiding him because of how bad he smells. Teens usually care more about peer approval than anything else.

Nah. It’s worked for 50 years and if we get another 30 then it’s done its job well. Government is supposed to review and adjust things as time goes on and Social Security Numbers weren’t intended to uniquely identify citizens. They probably expected an overhaul to be done by 2020.

They fact that we haven’t reworked portions of it and rely on SSNs to identify citizens shows that we haven’t had a forward-thinking Congress in the last 20 years at minimum.

This is the type of information that needs to be put on full blast in the state. If they believe children cannot consent, cannot be old enough to make their own decisions, and cannot escape their parent’s control, then this needs to be shoved into their faces. You want to make abortion illegal? Fine, but either you make an exception that allows minors to undergo the process or be fed details on the consequences of your decisions on a daily basis. You don’t get to sweep this under the rug and pretend it doesn’t involve you. YOU put this additional barrier upon a minor; YOU decided the child must undergo birthing that baby; YOU prioritized the fetus over the human.

Oddly enough, the way the text is spaced across SpongeBob and Patrick caused me to read it in a “don’t dead open inside” way but the sentence still works

“I’m an American and have a right to free speech, no matter what country the service is hosted in!”

One can hope. But the defense would need a very solid lineup of reputable experts who aren’t easy to slander as “radical” by the prosecution.

Yeah sadly I do. If there are doctors who believe vaccines cause autism, sell snake oil solutions as alternatives to medication, or believe liberals uses fetuses in satanic rituals, then surely some will be willing to testify on the stand to contradict the diagnoses and opinions of a peer.

The physician claims to have not provided any gender-affirming care since May 2023 prior to the bill going into effect. Paxton’s lawsuit alleges that the physician has prescribed gender-affirming/transition medication as recently as October 2024.

If the physician is being honest, sounds like the lawsuit is misguided by jumping to conclusions about the use case of some prescriptions. It will be interesting to see how it plays out if Paxton’s team continues to prosecute as it could be incredibly embarrassing for him and his office.

EDIT:

In reading the lawsuit, they enumerate several patients who they allege were “falsely diagnosed” as having precocious puberty and were then prescribed blockers. They also note the age ranges (8-13 for girls, 9-14 for boys) that is considered normal for puberty and state that puberty occurring before these ages is considered precocious puberty. All patients enumerated are 11 or older when seen, diagnosed, and prescribed medication.

Independent of the morality of the law and the method of enforcement, it would seem they have a considerable amount of evidence already. Either the physician was indeed misdiagnosing, or there are medical caveats involved here that would require medical expertise (which I do not have) that would support the physician’s actions and will show that SB 14 is overly broad and may prevent proper care to be given to children. I’m hoping for the latter.

Yeah, I keep forgetting how much time has passed.

Bought my first GPU, an R9 Fury X, for MSRP when it launched. The R9 300 series and GTX 900 series seemed fairly priced then (aside from the Titan X). Bought another for Crossfire and mining, holding on until I upgraded to a 7800 XT.

Comparing prices, all but the 5090 are within $150 of each other when accounting for inflation. The 5090 is stupid expensive. A $150 increase in price over a 10-year period probably isn’t that bad.

I’m still gonna complain about it and embrace my inner “old man yells at prices” though.

I’ll throw in the “basic” choice of Fuck tha Police by N.W.A.

Maybe I’m stuck in the last decade, but these prices seem insane. I know we’ve yet to see what a 5050 (lol) or 5060 would be capable of or its price point. However launching at $549 as your lowest card feels like a significant amount of the consumer base won’t be able to buy any of these.

They should also compare shrinkflation. If a burger price rises by 25% but it’s size shrinks by 10%, the cost is much higher as you’re paying more for less.

“Petah, what’s a helicopter doing in our living room?!”

“Shut up, Lois, I’m LARPing”

I already hate that style of door but the knobs make it even worse
