    Trump announces Covid-19 Breakthrough!

    FDA chief Dr. Hahn explained that a 35% decrease in mortality means that out of 100 people sick with Covod19 35 will be saved. That doesn't even come close to what it means. This is idiocy at the very top.

    Heaven for aspies

    Well, that is a pretty good example of hand-waving someone's actual concerns away with religious language. I'm not worried about Jesus. I'm worried about the lack of respect you expressed for the minds of autistic people. And it was so facile. That right there is what worried me. Some...

    Heaven for aspies

    Sorry, I missed this. First, my preferences wouldn't have been of any importance. I would have had zero say in it. I'll quote it from Mark 7 because it's interesting. The man was brought to Jesus by some people who wanted him healed. Although Jesus was not shy about healing in front of...

    So, new body, mind rewired from the ground up, memories deleted or altered. Me gone.

    Heaven for aspies

    It sounds like you think that for autistics the thing that most distinguishes us from the majority will be obliterated in our minds to the point of us not knowing ourselves so we'll fit in in heaven. How much can you take away from someone's mind before you have disrupted the Self, the very...

    Heaven for aspies

    Being autistic isn't an issue I struggle with. What I struggle with is a society that produces too much noise, complicated multi-tasking, and hectic pointless social activity. That's my issue. When I'm alone in my nice little house I enjoy being me. Thoroughly. Now I'm aware that the Big Bad...

    Man kills son for eating cake.

    He was butt hurt about his little boy eating some of his Father's Day cake. His Father's Day cake. I want Marilyn Manson to write a song about this.

    What was clearly needed in this situation was a third good guy with a gun.

    Ancestry DNA databases can be used to find you — even if you don’t sign up

    Do they sell your data to third parties? Will they ever sell the data? Will they ever sell the company to someone who wants to use the data for something profitable, like selling it to potential employers, insurers, or spouses? Who already can access the data whether the company wants them to...

    Spanish-speaking Taco Bell in Florida refused service for speaking English.

    What's the Spanish word for taco? How about burrito? Chalupa? Coke?

    Blood moon: all you need to know about this week's lunar eclipse

    The moon eclipsing doesn't work very well as a supernatural harbinger of events once you figure out how to predict them down to the second. God would have to time events to coincide with the eclipses rather than the other way around. If he does do so, the pattern has remained inscrutable and...

    Red Hen owner followed Sanders family to another restaurant

    Meh. You asked a bad question. It misses the point. I answered a better one. Read or don't read. It's up to you.

    Red Hen owner followed Sanders family to another restaurant

    Allowing someone to feel the sting of an act they've defended publicly is more of an object lesson than a mistreatment. If it truly felt like mistreatment to her maybe that's a pretty clear sign she's defended a bad thing. This wasn't a random act against her. This was people who had good...

    My Boy Has Been Officially Diagnosed

    I'm not a parent but I am an autistic adult. I wasn't diagnosed until the age of 57 and it was an immense relief to me. I see it not as a label but as an invaluable piece of information. I even made myself some "business cards" to give to friends as I explained the news. If there was one...

    Red Hen owner followed Sanders family to another restaurant

    Counteracting institutionalized bigotry in its many forms requires opposing political views that support it. To imagine otherwise is to go down a semantics rat hole in which intolerance of intolerance supports intolerance as surely as tolerance of it does. One arm of institutionalized...

    Australia's National Broadband Network CEO blames poor Australian internet on lack of fibre

    I suggest adding a hearty bran muffin to one's breakfast routine.

    Google bans ads from Christian Publishing House

    It does go for other products including those that pertain to personal hardships, identity and belief, or sexual interests. Lutheran VBS may seem like the most innocuous subject ever, but for some people out there an interest in Christianity may be fraught with potential trouble. Yes?

    Google bans ads from Christian Publishing House

    It doesn't ban all religious advertising and has nothing to do with Google objecting to religion on principle. It only effects a specific type of Google advertising that, once you show an interest in a topic, more or less follows you around and goes on showing you related ads for months. As...
