Sokka is clearly autistic and bi

From what I've observed, any community that is disproportionately neurodivergent (kink, poly, pagan, MTG player, etc) tends to develop a visible subset that is bad at social appropriateness and starved for attention (correlation? causation? who knows) who will behave like this. As a corollary, I posit that any group that doesn't run its freaks out for being freaks will see freaks acting freaky unless it implements an intentional and enforceable policy of gatekeeping access behind an acculturation process that explicitly trains newcomers on the expectations around this kind of thing.

god it must be so embarrassing to be Descartes after he stopped existing

He wouldn't think so

I definitely make spaghetti sauce extremely wrong but I'm not going to stop

Absolurl I deranged, Derin. Food crimes.

It means. It means you cook em a little in a pan with a bit of oil first.

A pan? How many dishes do you want me to have to wash here?

I mean you can also do it in the same pot you're making the spaghetti sauce in! The important thing is the onions get a little cooked before the wet stuff goes in, so they're not so wet and limp and boiled....

Honestly this depends entirely on whether I remember to chop an onion first or I find the can opener for the tomatoes first. The ingredients go in in whatever order they go in.

Derin who hurt you

A pack of wild chefs herded my mother off a cliff

did ur mum get 2021 cruellaed

Yeah and now I'm in a war against food. I have to hunt down and kill Remy next.

I don't think you'll catch him. I think he'll smell that horrible sauce from miles afar and will run in the opposite direction. Jesus Christ Derin they sell sauce in jars you don't have to live like this.

I'm not buying that stuff I am a fancy chef

Derin that's no longer sauce, you're making a (fucked up) chili and adding pasta at the end

I'm not good enough at spices to call anything I make chilli

Yeah, that's chili mac. Absolutely fine dish. I like a decent splash of worcestershire sauce in mine.

I rarely use a timer when cooking. For things I know well, I carry an internal sense of when I should start checking to see if it's done. For things that don't require constant attention but do take a certain time, i can look at a clock and mark the start, and just count from there to know when to come back. For people with dyscalculia, time-blindness, or other similar conditions, the timer becomes a required disability aid rather than (what it is for me) a convenience for when I just don't feel like paying that close attention. This is particularly common with ADHD and BPD, in my experience with family members and current and previous partners.

I think we need to kill the sentiment that people lose their right to personhood once they do something bad enough

important that you never forgive ice agents, ever. even years after all this is over (and I do believe we will make it out on the other side, alive and for the better,) they live in shame and disgrace forever. no excuses, no forgiveness. they ruined their own lives when they decided that human freedom and liberty was an acceptable sacrifice for a paycheck

Amazing how many of you claim to believe in restorative justice and then spout shit like this.

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.

I will not fear. Fear is the Project killer. Fear is the little procrastination that brings on total abandonment

That is a swamp, not a bog, you heathens

i was trying to say dodecahedron but its really hard to spell that while you have a high dose of medical ketamine injected into your veins

[Video Description: An ad with piano music over it all, showing an elderly woman in her home, knitting, when two younger men walk by her window, which catches her attention. She stares out her window at them as they kiss each other while walking, the old lady staring in disbelief. Cut to the old woman approaching a residence with a broom in hand, staring up at the second floor window where a small rainbow Pride flag is hanging. The old woman stares up at it and mutters "Ridiculo", before getting up on a ladder with her broom to remove the flag. Focus on the flag fluttering to the ground as church bells chime. The scene then cuts to the couple from before, approaching their home with grocery bags in hand before one stops and stares at the second floor, stopping his partner who then drops the groceries as he too stares up. It's then revealed that the small pride flag had been replaced with a gigantic, hand-knit pride flag. It then cuts back to the old woman's home, where a tin of rainbow-colored yarn sits on her table. The hands of the old woman are holding and fondly touching an old black and white photo of two young smiling women, leaning against each other. Cut to the old woman's face as she stares out with a look of happy pride on her face. At the end of the video, the name "Idealista" appears on screen, followed by "buon pride" along with a rainbow. End VD.]

Let's not be disingenuous. In this context, "reported" means reported by the local police (i.e., NYPD) to the FBI. So what @PolitiBunny is really suggesting here is that NYPD is underreporting violent crime to make Mamdani look good. Which is hardly any more believable, of course.
