Ok something really weird just got dropped in the case vs Ryan Routh, the golf course assassin.

The Trump DoJ filed a motion that is so top sekret that we (the public) can't see it. Ok not that weird but it's even more super sekret that the Defence can't see it, so the dudes own lawyer isn't allowed to read it. It's ex parte and in camera so it's 100% to be kept off the record and the only the judge herself can read it and only in her own chambers with some sort of CIA Spook watcher.

What the fuck/who the fuck is Ryan Routh?

Compare to the rest of the shit they were fine filing in public it really really REALLY makes me want to know who this dude was working for and who was running him.

To bad so sad we plebs will never get to see whatever this shit is.
The fact the defense can’t see it means the motion has nothing to do with Ryan Routh.
 
You hit the nail on the head. Normatively intelligent kids with autism learn to mask their symptoms and function like everyone else, but when they are diagnosed as autistic the focus becomes on excusing their behavior and negating the consequences. Then the kids can be placed in special needs programs, or they find hobbies online, with other autists who make it seem socially acceptable to be weird and not adapt to wider society.
Do they even have autism or are they just developing at a different rate to their peers? It's pretty normal for kids in my family to be ahead of their peers intellectually but very socially innocent and late to a lot of pre-teen/early teen social norms. It looks a bit like high functioning autism but it's not. There is no learning to mask, just eventually catching up on the social stuff and adapting enough to know that nobody else is as interested in mag-levs as you are this week.
 
About half of NASA’s main research laboratories are in deep red states; their congressional reps will negotiate to keep that funding there.

That’s all Congress does anymore.
It's almost like no one has even gotten a cliffnotes of the Art of the Deal. The senate hearing of the new director even had a contradiction to what the proposal suggest. By doing this is lowballs everything and also putting in a guy who said he will do the opposite it's an attempt to speed up the appointment to start fixing Nasa.By also shifting the focus on 'science' it will allow massive cuts in the other parts go a bit less noticed.
 
Because our media only talk about how Trump is the world bad guy and everyone else suffer because of him.
Our problems ? his fault.

I swear to God it is giving me gray hair at my age by the insane shit they pull out their ass.
Worst part I've noticed it the older generations that are the most ((brain washed))
I would argue younger ones take news from social media instead of the traditional mediums.

You think MSM is bad in the states ?
It crack-cocaine where i reside.
That feels bad man, I'm sorry.
That's the point, you can talk about it with your dad, but not with your lesbian aunt, your single-mother cousin, your autistic little brother, and your gay uncle sitting there too. If you do that, you're just guaranteed to start a fight and ruin Christmas.

Better to keep your power level low and thank God you don't have to see these people very often, than starting a family free-for-all that NOBODY will thank you for, and that will accomplish NOTHING. If you already know they're libtards, there's no point in talking to them about politics en masse. You won't change their minds and the whole thing will devolve into an ugly argument for no benefit. Save political arguments for when there's a chance of some benefit, and those chances are far better in one-on-one conversations than in a group setting.

Besides, nothing stops a liberal rant faster than a chilling silence. Arguing feeds their victim complex, but failure to acknowledge or reward a purity spiral stops them cold.
I guess I'm literally the asshole uncle lol. I don't personally care. You either love me or you don't. It doesn't mean I will be rude around more liberal members. But I'll defend my positions if need be; I'm no doormat.
I've said that autism is not purely genetic, I never said it wasn't genetic at all.
Genetics loads the gun a lot of times, but environment pulls the trigger.
If it were partially genetic (predisposition) and partially environmental (exacerbatory or triggering factor) it would mean that people with a family history should be extremely careful and get close monitoring during pregnancy or address problems beforehand to drastically reduce their chances of their child developing it.
Along with that, while genetics runs in family, so do habits and traditions which could contribute to clustering within families without assuming that it is unpreventable with intervention.
I mean proper discipline is the most effective treatment. You got to learn to tard wrangle yourself. Monitoring and all this shit sounds like kooky abortion talk.

I do wonder why they think trump is Hitler 2 like what exactly makes trump like funny moustache man?
 
This used to be the case before the internet, if you were mentally ill before the internet, you rarely knew more than a couple people dealing with the same issue so you had to learn to cope. (Example someone with depression having to get a job and get out of the house which reduces their depression)

Now with the internet, people find entire communities of people with the same issue and dont feel the same pressure to conform to societal standards. That same person with depression can find entire communities excusing their bad behaviors (it's okay to skip work, take a Mental health day!) and showing them unhealthy ways to cope, like how to get on disability instead of getting a job which does not help their depression.
Part of depression is learned helplessness.
 
Though, I disagree that mental illness can be solved by pushing through it like you describe. These are, generally, real chemical and neurobiological issues (except for gender dysphoria). Wallowing in it doesnt make it any better, and through effort people can learn coping and masking skills but treating their issues as fake doesnt mean they go away.
I wouldn't say that i'm calling their issues fake. rather, i think that going outside, which is shown to increase happiness the more your outside, as well as working on something like a car, or bike, can seriously help cope with depression. it makes you think that you've accomplished something, that you have purpose in doing that task. SSRI's only wildly change the chemical balance in your system, so you think your ok, but whenever you get off it, it ends up hitting like a truck,

Don't try.... that the same people that think karl marx is the saviour of mankind.
That gazillion migrants good and woman with penis is normal.
That children should chug puberty blockers and be owned by a mommy state.

In all account they don't make sense ...the mentally ill run the asylum.

Funny how the genetic abominations and dead ends praise old Marx, considered he different high options of their kind.

Marx was a liar. From the inception of the manifesto. He was no coal miner. He was a nepo baby with a loving family. He would be proud of the mess he made of the world. The ends justify the means comrade.

Slight PL, I work with diagnosed autists and a lot of them are like how you described your family. They essentially grow out of it as they learn societal rules, albiet slower than their peers. The only reason I deal with them and not people like your family is, im betting, nobody tried to test your family for autism. We are pathologizing a non issue that most people grow out of.
 
The thing is China can make high quality products, but they aren't any cheaper than any other countries products. The chinaslop is incredibly low margin and is incredibly vunerable to tariffs here.
China has a serious problem because of exactly what you said. Mexico is only a little more expensive but the labor is 10 times as good. Vietnam is the same. China only works because of slave labor making things retardedly cheap and at massive scale.

Edit: also the cause of autism is most likely something fucking with the gut biome. There has been cases where people get basically poop transplants and it cures their depression or gives them depression. If I remember right some dude with autism got a transplant and it went away. The real question to ask is this. If Chris gets cured of autism like he's always wanted, does he kill himself for fucking the barbussy or does he pretend he was trolling the entire time?
 
Trumps old. Even if he lived another 4 years after this term, after he died the country would go to civil war 2.
Vance is a worthy successor. He's enough of a asshole yet smooth when he needs to be. In a way he is Trump's last apprentice. Vance is young enough to have a future in the country. When I saw him shoot guns with the Marines like old times, I knew that he was something special.
