Must’ve been the wind.

Even if I did, too late you greedy bigots.

Account less than a month old and posting uplifting news, while being salty about said news in the comments.

I smell astroturf.

American here, most have no idea that Canada has a prime minister and not president, and JT was the last name most of us heard in relation to the Canadian government.

I doubt very much Trump knows who the current PM is, so I could absolutely see him demanding the capture of “president Trudeau”

This is the shit you would read on /b/ at 2am on a Thursday in 2007 while two users have what they think is a “deep” conversation in the middle of one-handed browsing.

🤮 What a fucking terrible day for eyes.

Still every day I hear “it’s not all black and white we can’t act rashly” shut the fuck up cletus you’re just a brain-dead tongue happily licking the shit off MAGAs boot.

Lol American here and that’s all anyone around me was talking about yesterday.

Because FUCK HALF THE POPULATION FOR BEING WOMEN

As everyone should.

Nobody should ever be looking at the 2nd Ammendment and think to themselves “oh god I just can’t wait, please lemme do it now”

It should always be “please don’t make me do this”, while preparing to do this.

I my experience, the oldest child is forced to mature faster by being required to perform childcare duties, especially in families with many children.

Younger siblings basically “get to be a kid” longer than older ones.

This is unfair to both older and younger siblings for a myriad of reasons, but both are a failure of parenting, and society as a whole. The parents should not be forcing the dynamic, and society should not be putting parents in a position where they feel they have to.

As for “feeling immature” as an adult… That is entirely dependent on what you measure maturity by. My wife and I sing nonsense tunes at each other, sometimes just look up and go “QUACK!” for no reason. We have gone to a playground to go swinging. We have gone outside to play in the snow.

I didn’t get my first job without my mother’s help until 20. I didn’t get my license until 26. I didn’t get my first full time job until 33. I absolutely hate going to a store at all, let alone by myself. Although if I’m being honest I would rather go by myself since it’s faster and less chance of my wife grabbing 10 extra things because we passed the aisle and she went something snack-y.

Remember, “Autism Spectrum Disorder” is, as the name implies, a spectrum. As such everyone is on it. Most people are gathered in a general area area (the people who would be considered “normal” by someone who has a more traditional old way of thinking) I personally believe I’m a little further toward the “autism” side, based on a bunch of comparing my personal experience with others who are diagnosed. I don’t believe it’s that big a deal for me, as I am fully capable of functioning on my own as an adult.

A bit of armchair psychology, I’d wager you’re a bit like my wife and due to narcissistic and withholding parents you likely need more reassurance than the average person. This isn’t a failure on your part at all, and it’s not a “developmental disability” it’s just a bit of childhood trauma.

To answer more directly:

In my opinion, yes eldest siblings often mature faster. Feeling immature is probably normal, and maturity is a pretty vague notion in general. ASD in general isn’t as big a deal as many people think. If you’ll forgive me for saying so, your family kind of sucks.

“but whatabout…”

Loudly spouting defeatist BS while voting for something is detrimental to getting the thing you voted for. If you want X but spend all day telling everyone it’s all pointless, it doesn’t matter if you voted for X when 15 other people decided there’s no point in trying for Y since X can’t happen.

Whether I agree with either of these people’s views is irrelevant.

No need to be ableist.

I respect drag.

I cannot respect showering corporations with money to buy lights to cover your already unnecessarily large mcmansion in gaudy baubles, and waste enormous amounts of electricity for over a month just so everyone can see how much more “festive” you are than your neighbor.

The money wasted on the setup in just one of these pictures alone could feed dozens of homeless for a month. And I think feeding the hungry fits in way better with the supposed theme of Christmas.

In the old days the brick-and-mortar stores would refuse to stock any game that was even remotely controversial in content or age rating.

Either you’re too young to have experienced “the old days” or you live in a very conservative area.

There was absolutely a mature section for nearly every store I went to, they either had sleeves to cover the games with printed/handwritten titles, or were collected and kept in their own area that was in view of an employee to tell kids to stay away.

Places like Walmart

Oh, you meant department stores, not actual local game stores.

Typical business, sell a flimsy product that won’t last more than a dozen uses.

You need proper 4x4 or even 6x6 timber and mortise/tenon joints for something that will last for the entire treasonous administration.

I saw a post asking the same thing the day I joined lemmy dot world with my first account.

That was a couple years ago now. I think I’m on my third instance?

Cranial Jettison Disorder is a serious issue.

The French knew how to handle it quite well.

“Wait what the fuck? Oh so they’re being satirical and actually stating the exact opposite?.. Oh. No they’re serious. What the fuck?”

An act that was clearly illegal given that he misrepresented emergency information, and I expect the exact same punishment will be recieved for THIS tampering of things.
