Everyone knows optimal strategic planning is to gather all your high ranking folks in one place but then also make sure you tell everyone ahead of time that all your leadership will be in that specific place and when they will be there.

Friendly local celiac here,

Cleaning products might be used on surfaces that can be used for food prep. Cleaning agents that contain gluten may leave behind enough to cause contamination issues on subsequent uses of the surface. To be safe, using cleaners that do not have such ingredients will prevent this kind of issue.

Because the cable itself is a factor. Just because the supplier says “I can give you 200 watts”, and the secondary device says “I can take 200 watts” doesn’t mean the cable between is able to carry that.

It’s not even just power but other things like DisplayPort over USB, Ethernet over USB, Thunderbolt, and whole slew of other things a theoretical USB-C cable can do, but not necessarily every USB-C cable.

Nah, sacrifice in regards to your children is absolutely a mindset thing. You can cognitively restructure your thinking in this case.

If you look at your children and think “wow, I’m not getting anything out of this” I can promise you that your children feel this and will become very distant to you when they grow older. They know when you just think they’re a burden.

I think you’re conflating the concept of an opportunity cost with a sacrifice. There is a lot of joy in parenting, and not getting to hang out with friends because you have to take care of your child isn’t a sacrifice, it’s the cost of having a child. Not every single thing you give up is a sacrifice.

He’s been mad about windmills ever since Scotland built some within viewing distance of his golf course there. He tried to argue they’d lower his property values and whatnot but he has been ranting about windmills ever since.

Split Fiction is great but I think It Takes Two was just a better game all around. Split Fiction was faster paced which was nice, but the little exploration areas in It Takes Two were just wonderful. Lots of little surprises and fun details to find that made it a joy to slow down and just explore and experience some nice environments. Split Fiction was really missing that and while it’s still great, I wish they’d done a bit of that too.

But but… RFK Jr swore during his confirmation hearing that he wouldn’t just do antivaxx shit! Are you saying he lied????

Hasn’t Elon been complaining about anti-natalists being the worst people alive? Seems awfully convenient that all of the sudden there’d be something for that dipshit to point at as “proof” anti-natalists are evil.

Since no one on here will ever know me…

It’s accepting that I have autism and that having autism is ok. My mom used “autistic” as an insult against me, the first time I remember was from age 5 as an attempt to control behavior she saw as undesirable. Running circles outside until I wore the grass out and flapping my hands about was something I needed to feel ashamed about according to her. And so I hid that and everything else she criticized so hard that I couldn’t accept that the reason I struggled so hard with a lot of things in my life wasn’t because I was just some innate failure but because I had an unaddressed condition that was she not only refused to help with but actively made worse.

To this day I still cannot do things like make eye contact, or tolerate being touched. But I’ve learned to not only accept myself for who I am, but accept that little boy who never understood why his own mother never seemed to be able to love him.

I am well aware, first hand, of what mothers of autistic children think about their autistic children. Fucked me up for decades.

It’s funny how many people that claim to believe that vaccines cause autism out themselves as not truly believing that.

The vast majority of people who parrot the vaccines cause autism bullshit also believe that autistic people should be punished for being autistic, even up to, in RFK Jrs own words: sent to labor camps. It’s not at all logically consistent to believe that autism is caused by an external factor outside of their control but also they need to be brutalized for daring to be autistic. It is, as always, a grift to get money from idiots.

There’s definitely some moms of autism horseshit in there where “I can’t possibly be responsible for my child being autistic, it MUST be something else” is a major driving factor too. Anything to shift the blame away from yourself for failing to take care of your child properly.
