Down here we're legally obligated to have an acre to ourselves outside of the major cities. Since there's no life around, the pnly thing that keeps my heart warm and healthy is my beloved star.

I usually give them to my kids as a healthy snack!

Ah, didn't know you were midwestern. Down here in Texas, our intimate relationships are only between ourselves and the sun.

That's why I used quotes. It's a commonly used yet inaccurate term

I ask that because some AuDHD people flip flop between super sociable and super "anti-social"

There are 2 ways of being inclusive: making minorities feel welcome and showing toxic positivity. When it's the former, it's absolutely necessary. Being able to view media like Everything Everywhere All At Once and Patriot Act has genuinely filled a hole left by sitcoms like iCarly and Full House. It's not easy for me to describe this "older TV" experience to someone who hasn't experienced it, but it may be a tiny bit like moving suddenly from the US to the UK and being forced to become fully British. Characters always have some trait that makes them completely unrelatable.

The latter mostly manifests in censorship. While it's fine for people to give small corrections (e.g. using 'they' instead of (s)he), being rude about it or not letting people talk just fosters hate. A rough example is racial jokes. While it's not okay for a random stranger to say them to another stranger, it's perfectly acceptable (and IMO should be encouraged) to use them to strengthen relationships. Policing jokes that me and my South Indian friend make to each other is not only unnecessary but also less inclusive. If I was on the receiving end of racial remarks and ignorance, I should be able to say those exact things in a joking or mocking manner with the intent of having fun

EDIT: Pavitr Prabhakar is genuinely one of my favorite characters, and I'm so glad they included him in Spiderverse 2.

Has your friend been checked out for ADHD as well?

I get this a lot as someone with ASD and ADHD, and sometimes it's insulting.

I imagine that "high-functioning" and "low-functioning" are super easy to tie to one's usefulness in society, whereas support is more tied to an investment that has to be made into a person. The former says how valuable someone is and the latter doesn't.

A wife and a gf? Are y'all poly?

RAID array

Anime is still worse.

Thanks for at least admitting it.

Dream, ProJared, Johnny Depp, and I think Toby Turner all come to mind. 3 out of the 4 were punished harshly for a crime they didn't commit.

Not saying they have the best morals, but they all received punishments that did not fit what they actually did.

Using your analogy, you can argue that training and work experience provided by a foreign company is like building ports, roads, or other infrastructure that is necessary for trade. Infrastructure, as long as it's used well, is undeniably good for a country.

Also, if wages were based on net revenue generated from a worker, that would 1. be impossible to measure, and 2. remove any incentive for a company to hire Filipino workers.

Another issue is that you really can't build a country efficiently like the way you describe it. Trade is necessary to get good technology, and investment is needed to get said technology within your country's borders. Effectively banning trade is just like shooting yourself in the foot and getting your other 3 limbs chopped off.

This situation would most definitely be worse for US citizens because more expensive labor means higher prices for consumers if margins stay the same.

From the perspective of the developed world, crypto is unstable. It many countries, though, their home currency could be less stable.

Ethereum's new solution makes it more centralized, which makes it less adherent to crypto's general principles.

Making a direct apples to apples comparison doesn't work because it's too theoretical and impractical. Cash isn't going away any time soon.

Was anything confirmed, or is this another set of career-ending allegations that people are stupidly accepting without concrete proof?

I understand your argument, but a living wage in the Phillipines is lower than a living wage in the US. As long as the employer is properly compensating their employees, I think it's unfair to blame said employer for the Philippines' economy. Even if this transaction is more beneficial to the US than the Phillipines, it would still benefit the Philippines, no? More outsourcing should mean a more trained labor force and greater purchasing power from exchanging USD for pesos.
