I also have been struggling with the problem of being the steam roller as well. When its finally my turn, I forget. I forget to speak language that leads to their opinions and thoughts, which in turn would lead back to mine and connection. I forget to listen.

It makes me sad because every time i leave with that empty feeling I promise to myself that the next time it will be better and I just have to practice leading the conversation so they can't steam roll. Practice being more aware and thinking before I talk. But then I just don't have the skill when it's time to put it into practice.

Although i do agree with her point about the babylonian effect of the internet, and her points made about the internet at the end. It is a super complex topic in itself, and there are many aspects of culture and community within certain internet spaces that give us an important connection and comfort. And even then, the internet space is changing so.

A scientist I trust explains the scientific papers made during the autism presentation , in an understandable way, along with explaining how data can be presented. As well as some risk factors for autism that we know of, that are being studied.

Data and scientific studies are complex and have many variables, so ethical science is important and experts are experts for a reason. They understand how to read scientific papers, along with the references, and know how to analyze the purpose of a study especially when information is left out or added.

Anyone can take a true piece of information and spread it falsely especially when the context and references are so complex and so many.

The amount of people who didn't like this, and who didn't like the end half is very curious. I also wonder if it's mostly American critiques or if it's overall. 

HIM had humor, horror, and even held your hand a little bit if the viewer happens to be a person who hasn't experienced the world of not only football, but the mentality of an athlete—especially an injured one. Which, for me, wasn't a disadvantage. Every scene had a purpose. I loved the end, and love when horror goes into a paranormal direction that is beyond catholic/christian religion. I love the base statement that there are many "religions" in this world, especially in America --despite "popular" belief, especially under capitalism. But it creates this statement by showing us the parallels. And there is even so much more when it comes to the main character within this system as well.

Makes me wonder if a few of those bad reviews are a result of the influences of big brther “USFF” 👁️ hahahhh jk

HIM is also a great example of the horror genre reflecting the anxieties and fears of a films originating society. Were the reactions of "the film didn't make sense" some sort of denial? The end definitely was a reflection of my anxieties.
