| Hello, I identify as a primitive traditionalist and tribalist. My opinions don't really fit into the left-right/authoritarian-libertarian spectrum, so I usually just tell people I'm an independent to keep it simple. I won't go too into them since I think some of my ideas conflict with the rules of t... |

| The globalist agenda isn't partisan, the corporate elite are beyond that. They just manipulate the world to whatever suits them at the time. Two countries throw homosexuals off buildings, but one of them won't give us oil. We're friends with the one that does, but oh no, the other guys are evil ter... |

I personally despise the website and would like to be able to just ignore it, but I've seen time and time again its users taking an actual real-world problem and turning it i... |

| Are there actually massive amounts of nonautistic people specifically and people without neurological differences generally claiming to be neurodivergent? I found plenty more than this example, but this was the post on Tumblr that made me angry enough to make a post on it here: https://cdn.discorda... |

| Am I the only one who finds people who don't have autism but have some mental disorder (depression, BPD, bipolar, etc.) incredibly annoying? The term was invented to protect autistic people and others with neurological disorders, which are different from mental disorders. Personally it seems to me t... |

I come from a very poor family and have around $28,000 in college savings that I inherited from my grandparents, which is not nearly enough to go to any university in America which offers such courses, let alone cover the co... |

| I like to think life works on a sort of biological/genetic algorithm. We're all coded to function a certain way under certain situations, from a single-celled amoeba to a blue whale. An ant is coded to do what an ant is coded to do. It's built in mathematically, the ant doesn't have to actually thin... |

| I'm terrible at math alone, mainly because I can't pay attention during lectures. But I'm very good at math when it's applied to physical things, like engineering, which is my favorite subject. It fascinates me. I love patterns and figuring out how things work. That said, I only really love formulai... |

And by obsessed I mean you talk about it so much that you've alienated everyone around you because no one wants to hear fun facts about a platypus for the thousandth time. For me, I'm obsessed with anti-consumerism/capitalist conspiracies, Trotsk... |

It's actually the opposite; I probably have more empathy than the average person. I cry when someone else's loved ones die.... |

Though my case might be slightly worse, because I can't even touch a container with rotten food in it, or even anything that has been near rotten food.
