Well I’ve got plenty to say on it. It largely made school districts nationwide more concerned about standardized testing scores than actually teaching. Result: Teaching in Brooklyn in a bad area, administration pressured me into finding ways to inflate grades of failing students who couldn’t even copy words off the board onto paper and hand it in. But all those people probably left with high school diplomas by the end of their time in high schools.

No Child Left Behind probably destroyed us.

I feel like politicians are completely unaware of the fact they can take money from everyone and still ignore them and vote the way they were elected to.

Like, lobbying is basically a targeted advertisement to politicians.

They act like advertisement is some kind of law they have to follow.

So they’re either morons or they’re deliberately corrupt. Either way, it ain’t being good at their job. Any other job they’d be fired.

Indeed. And it doesn’t mean I’m stupid and am going to go around shooting ICE for sport.

But what it does mean is if armed masked thugs break into my home without a judicial warrant, they’ll be fired upon.

I’d rather an honest to God murder trial then getting disappeared with no due process to some black box foreign prison. And yes, I’d rather die fighting for that end, rather than the unknown end that is the ICE process.

And it also means if society does start cracking at the seams and anarchy or insurrection become plausible, I’m not completely defenseless.

What next time I go to an airport? I’ll just not fly. I don’t play unfair games, I don’t engage with broken systems. There are plenty of other ways to live my life.

It trained me to buy a Beretta 1301. Learned how to ghost load it to a 7+2 capacity. Learned about different ammo types and what use cases.

I didn’t own a gun before ICE was set loose like wild dogs.

Train that.

Correct!

Correct. But not wholly correct. There are legitimate advancements being made by the serious ppl. But 99% yeah, it’s a smokescreen and everyone sees it coming a mile away, and they think we’re fucking stupid. They have no respect for us, the common people.

They are too busy robbing their own children of a future metaphorically, and then finishing up by raping and eating said children on the island.

Why?

Because:

Darkseid

is.

Edit: Which is why I opted out of the system. I play games for fun. Unfair games are inherently not fun, so I stopped playing. Made a straight 🐝 Line to the exit.

Bought a house when the historic market low hit after 2008 recession during 2013.

Paid it down aggressively in 10 years with a cherry 2.3% interest rate.

Solar panels and efficiency upgrades to decrease lifetime cost of living.

Rent 50% of property for supplemental rental income (charging UNDER market rate intentionally because I am not trying to be greedy).

Filled property tax grievance to drive property tax down as much as possible.

In 2024 I retired at age 38 by allowing my unethical employer to walk into a wrongful termination lawsuit because they are morons who think they know more than me.

Litigation in progress but I can confidently predict the outcome.

They will either settle for 1 million, or take my custom package. If they value their pride they will settle. If they value money, they will take my custom package. If they litigate it will likely destroy their company. 1.6 million in fees and defense costs, a humiliating public loss, and then I will go tell local news just to finish them off for fun.

Oh and I did all that with a few emails and a couple forms for $0. Just answering the complaint alone has cost them $60k so far.

FATALITY.

A simulation is only as accurate as the person’s ability to rationalize. It should only be used by people who can already out think it, because you need to be able to challenge and correct it.

🧩 Hyper Rationalizing Autistic person here. My condition makes me view reality as systems within systems within systems with infinite recursion.

I have read this post.

I have not detected logical inconsistency in this theory… And all the facts that I know seem to support the hypothesis.

And yes I know I sound like AI. Ironically, AI tools tell me that too. 😅

If anyone wants to introduce a new premise or fact into the hypothetical scenario, I’ll let you know if it makes sense or not (to me).

Yeah, I mirrored your behavior. You’re too self unaware to see it. Not a failure on my part, I cannot understand for you. You have to want to understand instead of just assuming you know everything. You haven’t considered the possibility that other people have other perspectives and may have spotted something you missed.

You’re a poor excuse for a rational thinker, and that’s objectively true from my eyes. You cannot hurt my feelings because to me it’s clear that you do not understand what you are doing and saying.

You are just afraid and lashing out because your ego is under threat, which feels like you’re being assaulted.

Additionally, it seems like you are reacting completely with your id, and have a weak grasp of iterative logic.

Probably rooted in past trauma. I hope you feel better. Take care.

I suggest you consider that not everyone has your life experience and developed the same communication skills. I think what you just said to me was far ruder than anything I said to you because I am not trying to be rude and you are. You’re coming at me with emotion instead of facts.

When did I say you make me feel that way? You just put words in my mouth too. We’re miscommunicating.

It just clicked I think! I never said it’s women’s fault. When did I say that? I think that might have been projection on your part possibly?

Where did I claim men don’t pose a threat to women? Quote me.

Isn’t that true too?

That’s ableism. I’m autistic and don’t process or communicate that way, and have time blindness. I’m sorry I made you feel like I put you in an unfair situation, it was not my intent. I will try to slow down and be more careful about making edits when talking to you specifically. I wouldn’t want you to feel like I’m being unfair to you.

I will proof read more carefully for the rest of this particular thread.

And then sadly I will probably forget we had this conversation after it concludes. But I still will have appreciated it while it lasted. ♥️

Its called miscommunication. We are clearly talking past each other and I’m trying to find you. I have no idea. So I keep asking questions till I figure out where you are so I can learn from you. I can’t learn from you without understanding you first. Perhaps you can ask me some smaller incremental questions?

Assuming I’m one of these hypothetical men that you want to do that, what exactly did I fail to do? You’ve forgotten that men have also been told they don’t need a man’s assistance, they are independent and equal. Those are conflicting with being told to believe women when they say things, but don’t believe them situationally, and we must be psychically aware of when we’re supposed to act vs not act.

So what did I do wrong that warrants me being assumed to have failed at doing? If I can do better I would, I just don’t see what I missed.

Yes they are. And your refusal to admit men can feel fear about women is amazingly sexist. Sounds like you think it’s impossible for women to present a threat to a man.

I’ve got an amazing piece of news for you. Not all men are a monolith. Just because the only men you’ve had in your life suck doesn’t mean all men suck.

That’s like saying I ate rotten bread. Thus all bread is rotten.
