There’s a point I’ve been failing to make: in the punishment/deterrent mode, they can say that the criminal could have avoided entering the criminal justice environment - and if, or inasmuch as this is true, then the criminal is the only one in the criminal justice environment that could have.
.
Everybody else in the Criminal Justice Environment, TM, works there, mostly full time, and fail to avoid the environment of this “deterrent,” most of their lives. So they adapt, of course they do and we all know there are police families and non-police families.
.
I mean. all of us are involved, and mostly we are all adapting to this toxicity.
.
Haven’t said this for a minute but I tag this stuff for Autists, not because it’s ABOUT Autism, but because it is science and philosophy FROM Autism.

Our continued existence over millennia is proof of evolution at work.

I replied oblivious to any previous post that inspired it. Did I mention that I live in a contextual cave?

I can easily outblow you, in the least sexual context imaginable. I've lost count of all the piggies' houses that I've toppled without breaking a sweat.

Not if I finish the job first myself.

@actuallyautistic How do y’all deal with people who say that autism doesn’t even exist, and that it “suddenly” cropped up over the past few generations because people have been “mentally coddled”? Somewhat in the same vein as “there is a diagnosis epidemic” but much more extreme.

Yep, self-delusion == brick wall.

Do you have any clothing routines? I own eight gray plain t-shirts with no tags which I love. I often will just wear them over and over again.

@everythingalsocan @autism101 @actuallyautistic

I wear jeans and variants of a t-shirt - sometimes used to be a polo shirt - every day for every occasion. Clothes do not make this man. My reaction to people is that if they're unable to judge a person by USEFUL metrics then they can fuck off and ignore me with my blessing. Superficiality is boring as hell.

Who needs such persuasion? Those trying to equate them can be described as either (a) hopelessly invested and delusional or (b) completely ignorant of the subject themselves and trusting the wrong authority figures.

In the first such divestment action by a major Christian denomination, the General Conference of The United Methodist Church has voted to divest from Israel bonds, and those of other countries carrying out prolonged military occupations.

I hope that I live to see Israel (and its conspirators) held to account for 8 decades of brutality, occupation, and colonialism.

Fuck manifest destinies, ALL of them.
