they have actual real autism.
my favorite part about these posters is that they still cling to their precious Asperger even though it doesn't exist anymore

>Asperger syndrome has been merged with other conditions into autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is no longer a diagnosis in the WHO's ICD-11 or the APA's DSM-5-TR

>>24732197
The Asperger distinction is still useful for describing a very specific kind of internet sweatlord and the whole ASD reclassification pushes the "autism is my superpower" bullshit that needs to stop

This is a prime example of what a right-winger thinks about mental illness: it's nothing more than a mechanism to terminate thought.
It's something to blame and stop there, not investigate further, or try to treat. Mental health treatment is communism. You just need Jesus.

It seems to me that everyone would be better off if we adopted the Thai model, where being a third gender/kathoey seems to be broadly accepted.

If medical procedures to make someone resemble a man or a woman more closely are the currently accepted cure for gender dysphoria, then maybe reevaluating the way our society views gender is the way to go, and ironically, it's psychiatrists, gender clinics, and trans people themselves who are viewing gender so rigidly, that dysphoria increases to a point where sexual reassignment is seen as the go-to cure.

It would be flipping "you will never be a woman!" to "you will never be a woman (and you're not really a man), but that's a-okay - you can be your own thing". Our medical technology to blur the lines between gender has vastly outpaced our views about it.

Basically I just want want trannies to stop chopping off their juicy dicks.

picrel's not quite what you're looking for (Power was never on the front lines, iirc) but it's close. The US adopted a semi-formal "no genocides allowed" policy after the Holocaust and yet allowed every single post-WWII genocide to happen. The book tries to answer why. Great reading, made more interesting by the fact that Power has refused to condemn Israel.

>>24731440
An excellent book, if we were a proper country this would be required reading in all Canadian high schools.

>>24730348

i have never heard of this person before but if i had to guess it would be because people tend to not give a fuck as long as you are killing brown people and not europeans, or because doing so would genocide her career.

ready to buy it. I found a version from 2004 for 23 euros (your pic) and another from 2005 for 13 euros. Do you happen to know if there are worthy differences between them to justify the almost double price? Both paperback, both same number of pages, 592.

Presumably behaviors discouraging emotional intimacy and security by emphasizing external optics and the man of the house's cultural expectation to be sole determinant of the home dynamic. Not being partisan here-- you cannot neglect your friend, your lover, your wife and expect anything but rot in your home. Modern attitudes on marriage are actually revolting. It's the societal ideal, man and woman in intentional, high effort co operative balance. And few people understand how noticeably good marriages strengthen society. It is to culture what deep running root systems are to coastline soil erosion.

You really need to ask yourself, what do I need, and what do others need. Do you care about anyone else? If so you're already negotiating power dynamics with them in everyday life.

I don't appreciate much modern 'culture' at all because it serves machinery, processes and market whims. People with low empathy or willingness to develop alongside others create miserable hell-worlds that grind human nature down to 'unreliable machinery' standards. And older "traditions" are often complicit in this because the sort of mind that clings to rulebooks also lacks the critiquing ability to parse the useful from the useless.

>>24731455
lol I had to read this for a meme elective class that was required to graduate. It’s boring as fuck but the prose is really simple. It was literally written with ESLs in mind, easiest shit in the world.

If you had half a brain, you could have just regurgitated some shit about how “the author is divided by both physical borders and invisible divisions of sex, gender, and race.” And that’s literally the entire book, bitching about colonialism and sexism with a taco tinge.

If you find that hard to navigate, you’re just exposing yourself as a tard that can’t parse out a text written explicitly to be accessible for a Chicano ESL audience. Anyone who passed high school would have no difficulty with it.

“Bird course” is probably just antiquated by this point, and “breadth electives” as a phrase is likely to be institution-specific, as not every school requires them, and not every school that does calls them breadth electives.
It’s a common enough thing throughout the country (I swear!). I have no idea whether UBC specifically has ever required such courses, especially in their engineering programs, but I rested on it being a commonly understood idea. Incorrectly, it seems.

>>24732439
I've encountered and taken what you'd call breadth electives, just never that specific terminology, always something longer like "non-[program] electives". Maybe I've heard of bird courses, but it never stuck in my memory. Did all of my schooling in Ontario, for what it's worth.

I'd say "bird courses" makes sense without knowing it in advance, while "breadth electives" to me almost sounds like the opposite, like in-program electives. I'd lean in favour of region-specific terminology for character.

>>24732467
>>24732439
neither 'breadth electives' or 'bird courses' gets across to non-Canadians that the classes are easy; for communication's sake you're probably better off with 'cakewalk classes' or similar, regional specificity be damned in favor of clarity

Yes I was. I almost always drank it when it was still warm so I didn't worry about bacteria, only food or drink that made it taste bad. I am probably misremembering the timeline and it was more like June 2019 to March 2020. For a longer time I would use unsterilized urine that had been sitting around as a skin toner, and it made me feel clammy, but I never got sick from it.

It’s about justice. What is a just reason for retaliation? Does one have to suffer injustice without defending oneself? Is it just to take matters into your own hands if the judiciary and the state do not protect you and your property? Also it’s a novella, so it’s quite short. My copy has about 100 pages.

The best thing you can do when trying to start writing is read more. Read stuff that does what you're interested in. Read things that inspire you, and to a degree treat them like you would drawing studies; if you feel inspired, don't shy from swapping the book for a pen and ripping the style or ideas off. Just consider it practice. The more you read the more you'll understand the tricks and structures writers use.

Visual thinking isn't a bad thing, in my mind, but remember to do things you can't accomplish with only an image: other senses, thoughts, knowledge beyond what's "there".

>>24732499
I have been reading for around 5 years so i think ive absorbed a bit by osmosis. But i think that now that im gonna write i have to read more as you say
>Visual thinking isn't a bad thing, in my mind, but remember to do things you can't accomplish with only an image: other senses, thoughts, knowledge beyond what's "there".
