  • You inserted yourself in a conversation about the Democrats. Not about the goddamn article. My ire against Trump is that the pedo rapist isn’t rotting in prison for the rest of his life, and this entire conversation was started by someone insinuating Kamala would have done something about it. You jumped in and took their side in this argument, so you don’t get to back off now. For someone who goes on and on about insulting people for not reading context, it’s amazing that you can’t grasp that I was responding to a comment and not the article.

    The Democrats, particularly the executive leader for 4 years, did nothing with this evidence to root out the pedo rapist ring. My ire against Biden and the Democrats is that they were the only thing that could stand in the way of the fascist takeover they helped facilitate back in 2016 (Trump was Hillary’s pied piper). So am I mad at the Republicans and Trump? Of course, they’re pure evil. But I’m not ideologically aligned with them in the slightest. The Democrats claim to be ideologically aligned with me but never act on it, taking away my only sector of representation in our government. So yeah, I direct my ire at the group that is supposed to be doing something about this and chooses not to.

    In the meantime, any semblance of criticism against the Democrats is always met with assholes like you who can’t stand anyone calling out the ineffective controlled opposition.












  • Yeah, our struggles definitely pale in comparison to marginalized groups. And no worries! I didn’t think you were, I just know how much my brother-in-law struggled with dyslexia, though he didn’t have a very supportive family so he didn’t even get diagnosed until he was an adult.

    They think my nephew is showing early signs of it too, but hopefully his experience will be closer to yours since he’ll get support early on.

    Auditory processing disorder is such a weird one. In a lot of contexts I actually like it, it’s like having earmuffs without wearing anything. I just wish I could turn it on and off intentionally. Sometimes I need it because the unfiltered background noise is too much but it won’t turn on. Sometimes I’m trying to take in audio and don’t realize it’s turned on and I missed a bunch.

    I’ve also realized that I actually read lips a lot to compensate for background noise, so I’ve been trying to hone that skill more intentionally. Another thing that’s maybe a benefit of the disorder.



  • Other conditions exist. I have auditory processing disorder and one part of it is an involuntary disabling of my audio processing when my brain is trying to focus on something, particularly anything else to do with language like note-taking. My ears will “hear” but my brain won’t.

    It wasn’t completely debilitating, but it made certain kinds of classes inordinately difficult for me. Discussion based classes were a nightmare for me, and no amount of practice could change how my brain works. So instead I pursued STEM where the notes are math and I could work ahead and tune in if I got stuck.

    That being said, handwritten notes are still definitely the way to go in math!
