Neurodivergent is a diagnosis not a badge of pride. And it really means nothing on a cultural level. We are all different, we are all individuals. Oh, wait. I used the “I-word.” Sorry.

Nothing about that thing makes sense.
There have always been, um, unique, different, and disturbed people. Prior to social media, they had no platform to share their views. They practically didn’t exist. They now have attained a false legitimacy by having such a platform.
The flip side is that social media (until recent censorship) has allowed marginalized political voices to be present in the discussion. News is no longer owned by a conglomerate of the few. The Narrative is less cohesive than ever before. Everyone with a phone is a “journalist”
You need a credential to be a journalist. No outsiders allowed. And journalists need subsidies or democracy dies.

“Would you support subpoenas to the Republican leader in the House and to Jim Jordan?” Karl asked.
“I would support subpoenas to anybody that can shed light on that. If that’s the leader, that’s the leader,” Kinzinger said. “If it’s anybody that talked to the president that can provide us that information — I want to know what the president was doing every moment of that day.”
“If anybody’s scared of this investigation,” he added, “I ask you one question: what are you afraid of?”
“You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide. If you see something, say something.”

Woman found dead on Camelback was hiking with Phoenix cop
Hiking on Camelback in July. That’s a death wish.
The story broke a day or so ago and it seemed strange. They were hiking together and the claim was she felt ill and was going back to the car and he continued on.
The talking head quoted in the story made some comment similar to “if you hike in a group you stay in a group”. I just thought it odd that if I was hiking with friends and one felt ill I’d just send them back on his or her own. Didn’t make sense.
Back when I lived there, I knew people that could have run up that mountain in 110+ degree temps. They were a rare breed.
Some one not acclimated to the environment has no business being anywhere outdoors in July.
The boyfriend shouldn’t have taken her there and shouldn’t have left her alone. Best case scenario, he was grossly negligent.
Of course, there is the possibility of a worst case too.
You never split up like that, particularly with someone you don’t know very well. Perhaps mere bad judgement, but not a good look.
Yeah. Least case scenario is they hooked up…wasn’t what he/she thought it was and he just said whatever. Worst case is it is nefarious. My wife goes with nefarious.

The UK government’s SAGE group has claimed in a new paper that it is a “realistic possibility” that a new COVID variant could end up with a morbidity rate of over 35%, arguing the government should consider drastic measures like the vaccination or culling of animals.
The research paper, published on Friday by the UK government as part of transparency efforts, outlined a number of scenarios for the future of COVID variants. Four scenarios were considered, including the possibility of a vaccine-resistant and drug-resistant variant. The most shocking however, was “Scenario One,” which predicted a situation where a new variant causes “severe disease in a greater proportion of the population.” Death rates suggested in this scenario could be between 10%, like SARS, or even as high as 35%, like MERS.
SAGE said that the chance of this happening was “realistic,” and suggested that the government should implement severe measures to stop this from happening. These recommendations included animal vaccinations or cullings, regular booster shots for the vaccine in humans, and clear restrictions in travel within the UK and to and from other countries.

How ‘Coward and Phony’ Tim Pool Became One of the Biggest Political YouTubers on the Planet
The proof lies in his current output. Despite his continued insistence on being viewed as a “center-left” truth-teller, a Daily Beast review of hundreds of hours worth of Pool’s commentaries revealed a consistent if broad eschatology: No matter which ginned-up atrocity is roiling the online right on a given day, Pool routinely will deem it a crucial sign pointing towards a civilization-ending crisis or imminent civil war. (Sometimes, he’ll declare that a civil war is already underway.) Who is to blame? A vaguely defined yet omnipresent and menacing left-wing other.
As a matter of course, Pool depicts people and groups on the left as potential bomb-tossing radicals or authoritarian lunatics; cultural shifts or gestures towards social and racial justice will lead to chaos and gulags stocked with the victims of morality policing, like the McCloskeys, according to Pool; and if the police are now siding with terrorists like “BLM and antifa” perhaps the time has come to flee the cities and stock up on firearms, as Pool himself has done.
Almost seems like an endorsement.
Tim’s getting the apostate treatment. This should be interesting.
I should have quoted this instead:
“A coward and a phony,” “a joke,” “staggeringly arrogant,” “totally full of shit,” “not smart” and “a bumbling doofus” are a representative sample of how those who worked with Pool at digital media companies described him. Most did so on the condition of anonymity, in some instances citing possible reprisals by Pool and harassment from his fans.
I always believe everything in hit pieces.
He also has had Alex Jones on. So add “conspiracy theorist” to the list.
The word conspiracy appears 8 times in the article.
Yeah, no. That is not what is happening you lying sack of shit.
A former darling of Occupy Wall Street, Tim Pool has racked up more than a billion views and millions in earnings while dangerously whitewashing the far right.
Hm. I frequent Tim’s show and this does not strike me as an accurate description.

Vive la France.
Macron is basically telling people, you either take the jab or you lose any shot at a normal life.
Threats like that didn’t sit well with the hard-working people of France, and they came out to protest — hundreds of thousands of people.
However, what’s happening in France goes even deeper than vaccines — many of the people who are protesting are also experiencing mounting poverty, and a country that’s been overrun with refugees — this is true especially in cities like Marseilles, whose citizens have a natural inherent distrust of authority and government — they’re like the “Rebel South” in the US.
When you put the entire picture together, you can start to see those “Louis XVI” vibes I mentioned earlier, right?
The images coming out of France are stunning and for those of us in the United States, who feel we’re just a hop, skip, and a jump away from this happening in our country, it’s inspiring to see brave citizens stand up and fight back against tyranny.
Sounds like a bunch of white-supreme, neo-nazi domestic terrorists to me.

The domestic terror death toll climbs
A DC police officer who responded to the US Capitol insurrection has died by suicide, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
“Officer Gunther Hashida, assigned to the Emergency Response Team within the Special Operations Division, was found deceased in his residence on Thursday, July 29,” department spokesperson Kristen Metzger told CNN in a statement.
Hashida joined the Metropolitan Police Department in 2003 and responded to the Capitol on January 6, Metzger said.
“We are grieving as a Department and our thoughts and prayers are with Officer Hashida’s family and friends,” Metzger said.
This is the third known suicide of an officer who responded to the Capitol during the attack, and it is the second known suicide by a DC officer specifically.
——-
The Justice Department has charged more than 550 people in connection with the insurrection, according to CNN’s latest tally, and the attack is at the center of a high-profile House select committee investigation.
During a hearing before the panel last month, Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn delivered an emotional plea to officers who defended the Capitol to seek out professional help if they need it.
“I want to take this moment and speak to my fellow officers about the emotions they are continuing to experience from the events of January 6. There is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking professional counseling,” Dunn said.
“What we all went through that day was traumatic, and if you are hurting, please take advantage of the counseling services that are available to us.”
What if those suicides are completely unrelated to the events of January 6?
Would they tell us/
“Suicide”, “suicided”. “Tomayto”, “tomahto”.
Sounds like they need a better job of psychological screens. Those aren’t the sort of people who should have a badge or firearm.
?
So what about the Portland cops? Are they getting that sort of outreach?
Oh they might be related, but not in the way they are implying.

If the price is right, it will sell. Demolish and build a new house.
Yep. My wife looked at a house like that, though it was just a disgusting family and not a helpless old guy. New listing, decent asking price, though not really a bargain even if in perfect shape. Cat piss and animal smells everywhere, food ground into the carpet, zero maintenance. Just disgusting stuff everywhere you looked. She and our realtor didn’t even bother looking at the whole house. “Do you need to see any more?” “No, let’s get the hell out of here.”

Hoarders: What Are They Up to Now.
The smell of cat piss saved me 50k on a house purchase. No lie.
Yep. I bought a cat-owning, chain smoking hoarder’s home well below market. Put a bunch of money into it and made a decent chunk on it.
I ended up replacing the claw foot tub because it would have been too expensive to remove the nicotine stains and refinish it. So gross.
I bought a house that someone tried to shampoo the the cat-piss smell out of the basement carpet.
I walked in while the sun was shining onto the carpet.
$5k less or replace the carpet.
Ended up with new carpet.
We came very close to buying a house where a guy had no toilet. He was just shitting in the pipe directly and his aim wasn’t always good. The rest of the house reflected that ethos. We got outbid by only 5k. Still wish we had gotten the shit pipe house although our eventual house was also distressed and sold at a discount to reflect that.

“Topo Chico is . . . (b) Not actually a Texas product”
pretty sure the Torchy dudes are from NoVa
Respects will be paid
President Biden will not be attending former President Obama’s 60th birthday party on Martha’s Vineyard, a White House official confirmed.
“While President Biden is unable to attend this weekend, he looks forward to catching up with former President Obama soon and properly welcoming him into the over 60 club,” the White House official told The Hill.
Obama turns 60 on Wednesday. Biden is slated to travel to Rehoboth Beach, Del., on Friday.
The Hill was the first to report that Obama is expected to be joined by dozens of A-list friends at his home on Martha’s Vineyard and that guests are being asked to take COVID-19 tests before attending. Celebrities Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney scored invites.
500 of his closest friends, but no President Bumblefuck.
Sad.
I wonder which will get the Obamas first – the ‘Vid or the rising sea waters.
I have to admire their sang froid in the face of certain death.
Obama is an empty do-nothing technocrat with few true beliefs. Conservatives tried to paint him as a full-on Castro clone but he’s too into the Wall Street scene to ever be a true true believer. Progs saw him as a mulatto messiah who would enact their deepest desires but he fucked them over, too. In fact, I kind of respect the con was able to pull on so many people. Look at that Netflix money. For what? I mean, that’s a nice spread but the Vineyard is overrated — the water’s too cold and the beaches suck.
Let’s not forget the book deals. The MF’r wrote more words than people actually ever read.
Obama was the latest version of the Dems JFK fetish.
They will keep searching for that lost love.
Apparently they are skipping a few elections.
It would explain why Beto is still in the Dem mix, though.
I’m betting Joe wasn’t invited. I also noticed Kamala wasn’t mentioned.
The really weird thing is that there’s always some sort of hidden meaning in things like this with these sorts of sociopaths.
“Was Biden not invited? Did Biden snub Obama? Who’s on the outs?”
“Never underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up”
Now we’ve got thunder, and the temp is falling. Come on, RAIN!
I wonder which will get the Obamas first – the ‘Vid or the rising sea waters.
Racism.
Because essentially no major news outlet, even the ones that report on it, will actually give you a link to the actual text of the report released today by the Rep. Michael McCaul on the origins of COVID-19, I’ll set this down nicely over here. Also, here’s the official press release about it. Evidently this is merely an addendum, not the final report.
I have not read this report yet, but I saw reporting that it claims that SARS-CoV-2 was released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology during a botched upgrade of, ironically enough, their air handling systems. Again, I haven’t read it yet, so who knows if the moron reporters who bothered to report on this got it right or not.
Major pet peeve: News organizations that report on official reports, yet provide no link nor even a title of the source documents on which they are reporting. These fuckers don’t want you to develop your own opinons based on primary source material.
Icky. It has “GOP” in it.
The priests of the new religion.
a botched upgrade of, ironically enough, their air handling systems
I’m assuming they have negative pressure rooms for the real dangerous stuff. We had to convert a bunch of our hospital rooms to negative pressure rooms. Basically, you hook up a big exhaust fan, push the air through a HEPA filter, and make sure it gets exhausted going up. Bonus points for exhausting the air where there aren’t any people.
Forget to put in the HEPA filter, or put in a non-HEPA filter, and you have created a machine for sucking pathogens out of a room and spraying them all over the neighborhood. I have a sneaking suspicion I know what may have happened in Wuhan.
Can’t be official – the Dem majority hasn’t blessed it.
Problematicness level: high
A group comprising survivors and victims’ families in the 2019 mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, has filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the large-capacity magazine (LCM) used in the shooting, according to court documents.
The lawsuit filed in Clark County District Court in Nevada is asking for damages as well as an injunction for the defendant Kyung Chang Industry (KCI USA) to stop selling their 100-round LCM.
Calls and e-mails to KCI have not been returned.
“To our knowledge, this is the first lawsuit that’s focused solely on the marketing and manufacture and sale of high-capacity magazines,” Jonathan Lowy, an attorney representing the families, said Monday.
Lowy, the chief counsel and vice president of legal at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, acknowledged there have been numerous lawsuits against the makers and sellers of guns, and manufacturers of body armor, ammunition and LCM’s have been included in broader lawsuits. But, he said, “we’re not aware of any that have been focused solely on the magazine.”
Lowy said the lawsuit is not about stopping all magazines under a certain capacity, but about the manufacturer’s “decision to make 100-round magazines, to market them to the general public, to do so without any reasonable restrictions or conditions, to allow and even to encourage in some ways that people use internet sellers to obtain those 100-round magazines, to not screen for who would be an appropriate user of 100-round magazine.”
The lawsuit stems from the August 4, 2019, mass shooting at a popular nightlife area in Dayton in which nine people were fatally shot and 31 others were injured. The gunman used a high-powered rifle and a large-capacity magazine to fire a total of 41 rounds in about 30 seconds before he was shot and killed by police, authorities said.
“It is fundamentally problematic,” Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl said at the time. “To have that level of weaponry in a civilian environment, unregulated, is problematic.”
Why didn’t they file that suit in Honolulu?
We all know those evil guns and militaristic accessories exert an irresistible control over white hillbillies.
Sorry, but a .223 is not a high-powered rifle. Also, I think he had an SBR, which is legally(?) a handgun.
And with a standard 30 round magazine, he would have had to make one whole mag swap to get 41 rounds downrange.
SBRs are SBRs. Totally a different legal animal than a handgun
A spot of research indicates you are correct, and that ackshually, AR and AK “handguns” are likely to be classified as SBRs.
“Neurodivergent” as in personality disorder?
As mentioned above, I’d guess such people either went through a phase and then grew out of it, or the rest of them struggled to keep a job if employed at all and fell by the wayside where they weren’t in the way of “neurotypical” people. Those with rich enough parents probably got sequestered away somewhere as a family embarrassment for whom polite excuses were made.
Neurodivergent generally means that your brain doesn’t work the way normies’ brains work. If you’re a visual learner, but you’re in school and you get terrible grades because you aren’t being taught the way you learn best, you might be neurodivergent (although it’s impossible to teach to every person’s learning style). If you’re ADHD, you are probably neurodivergent.
I believe it defines people of average to above-average intelligence, not intellectually disabled individuals.
In the past, everybody pretty much settled into their working life after coping with school in various and sundry ways as best they could. Now, everybody’s got a label (subtext: disability), which means you don’t have to figure out coping mechanisms for the real world.
In my life, what it comes down to is coping mechanisms and getting stronger for developing them, learning from your mistakes, and gaining some self-awareness of your limitations.
I identify as neuroqueer. That covers the bases really, doesn’t it?
“I yam what I yam and that’s all what I yam” pretty much covers my bases anymore. Although I have various “identities” to different people in my life (as does everyone), I’m too jaded to try to identify as much of anything besides me, myself, and I.
Think about it, in casual conversation with a new person, invariably the question, “What do you do?” will come up almost immediately. Why? Because we (Americans, at least) mostly identify as what we DO with our days and/or to make money. We don’t ask, “Who are you?” We’ve just been told your name, so we know WHO you are. Your conversant will add your appearance to the list of who you are (to the wrong or right/good or bad). “Who are you?” is a tale best told through actions, interaction, and longevity, and you aren’t the one who gets to control that.
Little Miss Nounself Bunny Foo Foo up there said, “Just don’t interact with those people.” Okay, no problem. We wouldn’t have anyway. And then they’d be mad we were shunning them. Her identity, as granted by me, is “attention whore.”
Her identity, as granted by me, is “attention whore.”
This.
Who are you?
A question I’m not sure I could answer coherently in any event. Mebbe God could, but I don’t have that kind of insight.

If, when someone thinks of me, they think, “She’s a kind person,” then I would be satisfied that my life meant something to someone.
I’d guess such people either went through a phase and then grew out of it….
They grew out of it because they had to grow out of it. Effectively, this behavior is being indulged. Yes, there are people who actually do have intellectual issues. That’s not the people most loudly touting the “neurodivergent” line. It’s over-pierced, pink-haired freaks that expect the world to kowtow to their pronouns and “otherkin” horse manure. And a surprising portion of the population is going along with it.
Culture matters. The conservatives who rail against “libertarians” are so often right when they point this out. It’s like the China issue. So called “libertarian” think tanks weren’t even close to admitting that the old playbook of peace and democratisation through trade wasn’t working anymore until it was far, far too late. Neoliberalism, cultural relativism, and moral cowardice disguised as a purist laissez-faire ideology are the cancer that destroys a free society. If more people grew a backbone and stood up to actively defend a free society by pushing back HARD on the left’s nonsense via all legal and civic avenues available, it wouldn’t seem so dire.
But *shrugs* what can we do?! The corrupt and evil hold all the levers of power!!1 *faints*
They got there the same way they always do. “Good” people let it happen.
This and more disorganised thinking courtesy of a lot of shit going on right now and also the new neighbor leaves their barking dog out past midnight apparently.
It’s almost like a house built on sand is destined to fall. Without a foundational way to articulate that the cultural movement over there (*points in a direction*) is wrong, there’s nothing preventing the power hungry from steamrolling the well-intentioned “live and let live” types.
It’s really hard to stand your ground when your argument boils down to “I don’t buy any of the metaphysical underpinnings of the founding documents, but the founding feels better to me than the plans you folks have”.

I don’t think you need legal avenues. Just civil. The problem is what I’ll call the libertarian establishment seems bound and determined to disallow even that. They insist that any divergence from pure cultural relativism is somehow anathema. But, it isn’t. Libertarians are allowed to have values and beliefs. We’re allowed to think some ways of behaving are wrong. And when we don’t, people like this, people who are actively hostile to liberty are going to be quick enough to assert their values as the dominant cultural currency.
Ron Paul made a great point when he pointed out on the Republican debate stage, something like “Just because I advocate something being legal doesn’t mean I advocate doing it.”. I agree with that 100%. But there’s a corollary to that that I think a lot of libertarians have to come to terms with. Just because you think (and say) something is wrong, doesn’t mean you think it should be illegal. Vices exist. And just because you think the role of the state should be limited to stopping crimes, doesn’t man you have to be okay with vices.
Rose Kennedy was a headstrong handful. So they got her a lobotomy and THEN sequestered her away.
She was at the forefront of my thinking as I typed that. I specifically didn’t mention her as that was a very extreme case, especially with the lobotomy.

The really weird thing is that there’s always some sort of hidden meaning in things like this with these sorts of sociopaths.
“Was Biden not invited? Did Biden snub Obama? Who’s on the outs?”
Kremlinology lives on.
Well, yeah. But, I suspect that some of the greatest players of Kremlinology were the apparatchiks in the Kremlin’s orbit. When there are no limits to power, the valued skill becomes maintaining as close a connection to those in power as possible. It’s sad that that’s becoming a standard in the U.S.
Did anybody think it was? Pretty sure everybody knows its from Mexico. Since it says so right on the bottle, and all.
Do people not realize that Texans like Mexican stuff? Texas and Mexico have a long history, and most of it’s about trade and intermarriage. Yeah, there were some scuffles, but what family doesn’t duke it out now and then?
I think SadBeard’s “thought” process is probably something like:
The people of Texas are a bunch of gun-toting bigoted hicks.
Gun-toting bigoted hicks are racists.
Racists hate Mexicans and Mexico.
Sick burn! Tell Texans that one of their favorite beverages is from Mexico! Take that, you gun-toting bigoted hicks!
Looks like Louisiana just reinstated a statewide indoor mask mandate. Dominos are starting to fall in the wrong direction,
Here hole is pink in the mist
