  • I think we should resolve cheating concerns by banning technology at the Olympics. No drugs, no prosthetics, no shoes, no clothes, no cooked meals. Once you arrive at the Olympic village, it’s nuts and berries in the nude until the ceremony is over.

    You can have access to whatever technology is absolutely necessary for the sport, like guns if the sport is shooting.






  • Musk’s mental disorder is autism. And if someone were looking at this here meme and saying “Yeah, that’s how all autists act”, we’d call that person a bigot. Because they are.

    The reason sympathy and mental disorder ought to be correlated, is because the DSM exists to identify patients in need of treatment. The purpose of a diagnosis is to help someone. To give them easier access to medical treatment. Therefore, saying Trump has NPD is helping him. You shouldn’t do that, he’s a nazi!

    No, NPD is a social disability that causes great distress to the patient. Trump is not socially impaired and is not distressed by his ego, so it’s not NPD.

    Here’s a decent litmus test for whether someone is disabled or an asshole: if you can feel sympathy for them, can see that the whole world is against them, if you feel sorry for them and want them to be helped, it might be a disability. If they’re a famous politician and billionaire with millions of fans, they’re not disabled, they’re an asshole.

    Yes, neurotypicals are indeed able to have large family dinners. But they have to do it using table manners as a crutch. They can’t just have an honest conversation about what’s really necessary, they need to rely on this social construct to tell people what to do without explaining why. It’s a great weakness. If only the average person weren’t so afraid to introspect and to question why we do things.

    If you have a large number of people eating in comparison to the size of the table, and the table is already covered in food, the only place on the table to put your elbows is in other people’s personal space.

    The rule should be “no elbows right next to someone else’s food” but neurotypicals are terrible at communicating due to their underdeveloped social skills and empathy.
