I doubt Musk's salute was that deep. He's not some slick political operative. He's a 4chan dipshit who thought he'd be edgy and cool and tiptoe up to the line. He thought it would be much more ambiguous what he did and he'd "own the libs" by making them look like fools to the normies who genuinely wouldn't see it for what it actually was. He clearly was not expecting basically no one but the cultists on his side to not see what he did.

Seems like they're basically counting on many of them having no choice but to come back. Just like they're counting on them being willing to accept having basically no rights.

Because slavery is better than getting killed by gangs/cartels of course /s

It's not a failure in the usual sense we think about it, no. You were still "technically wrong" in whatever hypothesis you had that was disproven. But the end result is different because theoretically everyone involved cares more about the answer being found, not necessarily that they are the one to do it.

Hell, in cases where whatever you did was later proven incorrect it's usually that whatever you did was the most correct answer for the information we had at the time. Then new information is discovered and often someone else builds off what you did to get this new answer.

For me it was just a general feeling of "wrongness" mostly. Like cramming yourself into shoes that are just a little too small. You're acutely aware that it's uncomfortable and that it doesn't feel right, but it's your whole body.

In my case I think those feelings were aggravated by my ADHD. There's this sense called proprioception that is knowing where your body is and how it's moving without looking that many people with ADHD or autism often struggle with. It's one of the things that contributes to that stereotype of the "ADHD Walk" where we're constantly running into, getting caught on, or tripping over things more typical people seem top just instinctively avoid.

So not only did just the state of being a boy feel wrong, and I hated the things that came with this box everyone had put me in. But my whole body felt clumsy and like it was a few inches too big in every dimension. Which only reinforced that this person I saw in the mirror every day just wasn't Me.

Nine a winner. Pay the front line, take the don'ts.

That's always been my view on these subjects as a parent. Especially considering all 3 of my kids have autism and have a tendency to not follow rules at all if the rule doesn't make sense to them.

Like seriously my father was the perfect example of this shit. The amount of times he'd bully me about not trying to have sex with any of my female friends while simultaneously saying "not in my house you won't" is crazy.

You're not wrong. The Democratic strategy for the past what? 35 years now has been to constantly engage in "hippie punching" to try to seem more reasonable to so-called "moderates" by criticizing the Far Left™. So in a sense one could say that the left has been stuck in an abusive relationship for a long time.

Yes that's one of the actual pictures from the indictment they brought against him. He apparently had like 300 different documents of varying levels of classified status. There's a couple more iirc of different places like a bedroom and a ballroom stage too. Basically it seems like he had his goons just hide anything he could get his hands on in random boxes of what were supposed to be just irrelevant personal effects

He was only indicted specifically for like 30 of them but my understanding is they specifically chose ones they were willing to have potentially entirely exposed.
