The original Xbox controller for the North American release. I swear it was made for Paul Bunyan it was fucking massive.
See picture.

As long as it’s between two consenting adults I really don’t give a shit.
Nazi Germany as an example was a populist and nationalist movement that rose out of the austerity plan from WW1. Yes it is very much linked with fascism.
What we are experiencing in America and Canada right now is a rise in populism and nationalism which again is dragging fascism along on its heels. Again, they are all very much tied together.
Beyond that I’m not going to argue with someone with their head up their ass. History has proven again and again that Populism, Nationalism and Fascism are all similar and travel together repeatedly. Do they always? No.

Look at the example. See how in a Venn diagram they overlap?
I brought it up because the 3 overlap pretty consistently. If you have a rabid nationalistic, fascist or populist movement chances are it has symptoms of the other 2.
That is not to say that rampant nationalism means fascist. Populism doesn’t mean fascism to your example.
I can’t believe I have to explain this to someone but here we are.
Do you even math bro? Look up Venn Diagram examples.
If there was a Venn diagram, populism and nationalism and fascism all overlap beautifully.
I worry for my kids. I’m doing the best I can to keep the anger out of their hearts but Jesus Christ the world is so angry right now and they don’t know where to put it.
Rough times ahead and strongly recommend everyone keep those you care about close.
I get where you’re coming from with needing an official diagnosis for work accommodations, but none of your friends are really going to demand to see a doctor’s note, so why would personal relationships depend on an official diagnosis?
The same reasons as from a professional experience. Yes they aren’t going to pull the doctor’s note but neither is work IMHO. What it does is provide more weight behind your words of “hey I’m not just googling this shit. I’m not just an insufferable asshole looking to validate that I am. I’m actually working with a psychologist.”
Friends, just like coworkers, etc. care less of the diagnosis. They want to know you’re working on you because I’d argue writ large people want to see you succeed. A self-diagnosis can help but it doesn’t give you access to all the tools you may need to succeed so from the outside I would argue that official diagnosis matters. It means you now have someone else on your “team” be it a GP or a psychologist or whatever helping you navigate things.
Wait until we vote in career politician and general asshat PP. We will be fucked in 2025.
Self-diagnosis doesn’t help with relationships IMHO either and I mean that both from a personal and professional perspective.
Why you might ask?
YMMV but for me, I am an open book. Having the diagnosis meant I could talk to bosses when trying a new med, or explain to them when struggling. Knowing the diagnosis means you immediately diffuse an aspect of a challenge. For me, that has been immensely valuable.
LOL.
As a Canadian, good fucking luck.
I saw a guy who didn’t just lose his car keys. He shouldn’t be allowed to drive period. America is so fucked and thus so is the rest of the world.
That role? Life.
Amen. Virtue is the bomb, but also rum
Kind of related but there was a video on StarTalk a couple days ago on NGT rebutting a Joe Rogan interview with Terrence Howard. It’s was joyous watching a breakdown in how science works while very politely calling TH an absolute moron.
Guns don’t protect children. They’re the leading cause of death in children.
Fucking THANK YOU!
Because writ large we are all under staffed and it we need to cut something it’s QA.
Good.
Cheap.
Fast.
Businesses have shown time and time again they choose cheap and fast. Good is a problem for the future.
MVP baby!
Still the best onion article of all time
People need to understand that when a tech company is “disrupting” it means they’re exploiting legal loopholes.
Or the fucking pervasive mobile devices in front of our faces from a young age?
