The Mac one could be a lot more realistic:

“Mac OS Yellowstone is available for your Mac, and will update tonight.”

“Mac OS did not update last night because you left some windows open.”

“Mac OS will update tonight, but you must enter your fingerprint and password to make it happen.”

“Mac OS did not update last night because you didn’t enter your password again at 2AM and we weren’t sure if you really meant it”

That’s been a big part of the opposition, groups like NASW pointing out this law would cause an ethical crisis for therapists who cannot choose to use such techniques.

Lawmakers so far don’t care.

You’re making a good argument that we should partially socialize the systems needed to support life, like agriculture, and healthcare, but I would go further and include housing and a few other things.

At that point, we are talking about a strong welfare state.

So the modern solution to all this was invented like, 90 years ago by FDR.

We need another FDR.

Everything in a Tesla is remote controllable, down to the odometer. It’s through Tesla’s own system but I am 100% sure that system has an Internet connection.

Heck I patched in my non-smart-car into my smarthome using an Onstar integration, I can lock and start it using Siri. Tesla’s system is just a way beefier version of Onstar. I wouldn’t be shocked if there was an app just for Elon to play with it all.

Obama did a response to the film The Laundromat (which is excellent), where he said, yes this is one of the keystone problems we have, but there is not going to be a fix for it, because the people that could fix it are benefitting from it. I’ve never seen him quite that defeated before.

I think Jesus would be flipping some tables right about now.

This is exactly what needs to happen again. A bold progressive president who DGAF and builds some monumental new social programs and revives a strong welfare state, taking back the word “welfare” because it’s A GOOD thing to not watch your citizens starve to death in the street, and we once knew this.

My city just ended their contract with our shot spotter company because it hasn’t made anyone safer but has resulted in a ton of mistaken dispatches. People know they can fire a gun and simply walk away, it’ll be 10, 20 minutes before police roll by. Who cares?

It’s fun that instead of figuring our shit out and funding the government together, we just developed regulations around shutdowns.

Yep he’s a US citizen born in the US.

Doesn’t mean ICE can’t disappear him tho.

This age doesn’t value reason, facts, or logic. But so many old school intellectuals think reason, facts, and logic are going to save them. They will not. It’s time to adjust your sails, because the wind has changed.

Run your logic again, but this time, the only factor is “women’s bodies should be controlled by men, and used mainly for breeding.”

See, you can build coal plants in poor/black areas, so you don’t have to see the pollution, nor your kids have to get cancer like those silly poors. And then you don’t have to put up with woke shit like windmills. Sigh.

I suggested drawing in chalk on the street outside of the governor’s mansion, to protest the GIANT chalk Christ she had commissioned across the driveway to celebrate Easter one year.

It wasn’t even a serious call to action.

You have the right to starve to death in the street

With or without a mohel? This specialty tool saves a lot of time in the shop.

Even more than a sentence mirror, it will lead you into a fantasy realm based on the novels it’s trained on, which often include… AI becoming sentient. It’ll play the part if you ask it.

Aye but the hoverover text on the original comic also alludes to a single point of failure and the repercussions.

well… therapy absolutely helps you figure out your needs as an autistic person (complete with a real diagnosis) and helps you develop safe coping strategies for this and being queer in a hostile place.

A good should help you build a real support system and protect your self-identity from harmful family, including forming a plan to leave them. And learning to love yourself, awkward as you may think you are.

I guess I see a lot of things in your post that a therapist could and should help with. I’m wondering if you had good ones, and what they were doing with you in that time.

Just as you wouldn’t go to a surgeon or dentist and let them work without a treatment plan, you should agree on your goals and the modalities a therapist intends to use to get you there, at the beginning. And you can refer back to this to see if you’re making progress or not.

Unfortunately like all healthcare now, you often have to research and become your own self advocate first. You should fire a therapist long before you spend thousands and years doing nothing. Bad therapists are out there, a lot of them. But good therapists can move mountains.
