Nowadays, when you have kids with autism, parents coddle them to hell and back, making them even worse off and retarded than they would have been if you taught them the hard and practical way.

You hit the nail on the head. Normatively intelligent kids with autism learn to mask their symptoms and function like everyone else, but when they are diagnosed as autistic the focus becomes on excusing their behavior and negating the consequences. Then the kids can be placed in special needs programs, or they find hobbies online, with other autists who make it seem socially acceptable to be weird and not adapt to wider society.

Low functioning autists are another story

I'm about to slightly MTI but fuck...boomers.
Its elections season were i'm at. Time where family start going tribal at each other's throat and nuance is out the fucking window.
All i hear is MUH TRUMP...MUH UNITED STATES.
They get bat shit feral if you tell them to focus on our problems then the neighbour yellow grass.
This orange bastard, power to him. He cucked mentally half the human population.

Our nation is not a victim, not the greatest, not superheroes, not perfect .... We can't fix anything, we are not a superpower, we are fucked.

This got me yelled at.
Having to explain to boomers why keeping electing the same POLITICAL GROUP no matter who's retard the front runner, is the same shit that got us living like a 3rd world country .... got me a wordily beating.
They don't care if my generation can't raise kids or afford a living, a house or a car. Fuck them kids right?
Nor they do care that our culture is being erased by a gazillion Pakistanis and Muslim.
And our children and women's raped by the momos.
I want trump to burn the system. Not because it funny...Just by sheer tiredness of being told by those that are a foot in a grave, to hold ourselves by the bootstrap. That my generation are just whinny bitches, when we have to scramble and prepare for the upcoming boomer apocalypse.
I want the NWO and globalist cucks and hippie generations to watch the wealth they took for themselves and hoarded, burn to cinders.
They were the weak men that created hard times.

A follow up to my post I made Wednesday Night

https://kiwifarms.st/threads/us-politics-general-2.210076/post-21048073

JP Morgan's Market Intel team thinks there no liquidity in the market. Basically, alack of liquidity makes it difficult to buy or sell assets without causing significant changes in their prices. This can lead to increased volatility.

Which brings us to escape clause: moments ago, the FT published an interview with Boston Fed president Susan Collins in which she said that "The Federal Reserve “would absolutely be prepared” to deploy its firepower to stabilise financial markets should conditions become disorderly, according to one of the central bank’s top officials" adding that the Fed “does have tools to address concerns about market functioning or liquidity should they arise”.

Great.... but - there is of course a but - Collins also said “markets are continuing to function well” and that “we’re not seeing liquidity concerns overall”.

In other words, the Fed has a liquidity put... there is just no liquidity crisis.

Only - even if one ignores the blow up of the basis trade which as we explained previously has soaked up all the market's available liquidity - there is a liquidity crisis according to JPMorgan.

Below we excerpt from a note published this morning by JPMorgan's Market Intel team, which quotes trader Marissa Gitler, in which she said that liquidity is now gone and that what happens next could be ugly.

While it’s important to take a fundamental stance on the macro environment, the declining liquidity picture is an important piece of the puzzle and it’s worth flagging. To put statistics around it: Top-deck bid-ask for ESM5 and TYM5 are both roughly -80% worse than the 20d market average. These are historically two of the most liquid contracts in global macro markets. The top-deck in UX1 is roughly -95% worse. There appears no recovery this morning either.

De-leveraging and deterioration of macro sentiment has morphed into a situation in which liquidity dynamics are now meaningfully impaired in liquid markets. The lack of liquidity could result in price moves that are outsized relative to the amount of flow that is actually going through. This is in BOTH directions – significant bounces can take place ‘on air’ while it could similarly lead to unruly market outcomes to the downside. This is important context as we head into risk events such as UST auctions, the FOMC Minutes, CPI, and, realistically, just every minute of the trading day now as we are subject to Tariff tape bombs.

She concludes as follows:

Equity turmoil has been fairly transparent via the selloff in indexes globally, but yesterday [April 8] the conversation rapidly flipped from equities back into the fixed income world as UST yields surged meaningfully led by the long end. It’s pretty impossible for anyone to predict where we go from here (myself included), but deterioration of the broader liquidity framework is never a great setup for risk markets.

So while the Fed may ignore warnings by entities - such as this website - that liquidity is gone, imagine a world where there is a full-blown funding crisis, banks are failing and the Fed is blamed for ignoring not just the all too clear signs, but also ignoring a warning from the largest US bank, JPMorgan.

That is not a world that Jerome Powell, no matter how much he wants to listen to Bill Dudley and crush Donald Trump, would want to be in.

This is a Zerohedge article. So take it with several grains of salt.

Like everything else that sucks and is your brain, it must have to do with autoimmune disorders telling your white cells to go balls deep on grey matter

I don't think so. We see plenty of adult onset autoimmune but I've never heard of adult onset autism.
Autism starts early in childhood (around the time you would notice a lack of social skills and where they'd normally be developing them further while interacting with other children) and is lifelong.
That suggests something is happening as the brain is developing.
My guess is that inflammation in the brain (in the mother but also in the developing baby) during crucial developmental periods messes with the processes to build those structures.
Once they're built there's a limited capacity to fully restructure them to normal, but ongoing brain inflammation and other issues can be addressed with metabolic therapies that can help address some of the negatives to ease the burden.

Does he have another week ban or something then?

You're born with the tism or not at all. I have it. Some of my nephews do. It's genetic. I got mime from my dad.

I watched this video now and my takeaway is that 100km range defeated/limited by fog, smog or cloud cover could be helpful for the north sentinalese people, but like, how are you supposed to rely on like a hundred cameras being calibrated well enough to give you data to hit something moving at Mach 1.6? A fraction of a second of discrepancy between the angle the system assumes the cameras to be at would fuck it all up. Better to go to a relative, like keep the horizon line in frame for a point of reference and try to be really specific about altitude, longitude and latitude

Maybe on a ship, it could be helpful for anti drone systems? All the camera mounts would be steel and somewhat precisely measurable

I'm getting a diagnostic, not because ahaha autism quirky. But ahaha, i got failed by the adults around me...and now adult me can do something about it.
Not so fun fact SBS is linked to austim too. (pregnancy, labour, delivery and shaken baby syndrome can cause tism)
I'll stop showing power level.

 

[deleuzeon]

Whatever is causing the autism I hope it's something as simple as the vaccines, so we can fix it. I've been dealing with autistics my entire life and I want them to stop existing.

Bad news everyone.

It’s anime.

Okay, okay, it checks out. Now here's my question:

Is it anime exposure while in the womb? How much is safe?

(sigh) I know.... but what can i do....at least i can be a vindictive little cunt and shat on the people around me galivanting like perfect adults...when they absolutely didn't.

Hey you know that China place we get too much shit from? That’s in the news recently? They’re not good with sanitation as regards heavy metals and toxic chemicals on their products

Here’s a recent problem they have! They don’t know why pregnant women in Beijing have a retarded amount of lithium in their blood

Why do you keep talking to family about politics? I always just tell relatives that I don't find it interesting and change the subject. Then I'll discuss it PRIVATELY with the few people I can count on to not throw a tantrum if we disagree on a subject. The rest of them, I just ignore their hot takes and try to get through the BBQ without being in the center of a scene, especially if there's no chance of changing anyone's mind.

My mom said to me once, "Would you rather be wrong and loved, or right and alone?" and that idea stuck with me. I'd rather let my relatives engage in wrongthink to their heart's content than trigger all of them and be alone in the world. This is why it used to be considered impolite to discuss politics and religion at the dinner table.

 

[Buttigieg2020]

This ticks me off, one of the few things that US science does well probably going to go and it's still only a blip in the budget.

About half of NASA’s main research laboratories are in deep red states; their congressional reps will negotiate to keep that funding there.

That’s all Congress does anymore.

Where do you guys live that you can't talk politics with family? Talking politics is fun with my dad.

Here’s my power level: my mom was a schizophrenic, and not a fun one like Terry Davis. I’d rather be right and alone, because at least I’d be sane.

Schizos do this thing where they try to make people externally validate the shit in their heads. No wonder I hate trannies.

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingOrchid]

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is trying to manage MAGA-bro outrage at the lack of arrests to fix the corrupt system.

https://nitter.poast.org/fbiddbongino

He says there will be safer neighborhoods, and this will be communicated in local media. Finishes with: “I'll say again, I'm NOT asking you to "trust me." I'm asking you to look at the results. And those results will continue to pour out of the FBI”

This isn't what MAGA-bros want, and will piss them off more. This 𝕏 post by Bongino has a very high interaction rate. It is the most commented story on Patriots.win today (link | archive). It is being shared and commented around the "bro-sphere".

It seems Trump2.0 is not fully aware this demographic sees this administration as the last chance to fix corruption before the fourth box of liberty is the only choice. The 4 boxes are: soap box (public speaking), jury box, ballot box, and cartridge box. These "low propensity voters" gave the ballot box another chance, because Trump promised this time would be different and corruption would be combated. The attempted Trump assassination, and Trump's continued statements that the 2020 election was fraudulent helped to convince these people to vote.

If corruption is not seen as diminishing, this demographic will not vote and the next January 6th will not be nonviolent. The uniparty and globalists might prefer this, because they think they will defeat the bro-faction. I think the globalists are very stupid if they think a bro-insurgency in America won't result in an ugly IRA × French Revolution decentralized oligarch headhunting.

History...

6300 people on the terrorist watchlist entered the USA in 2023. Nearly 1000 of them were collecting government aid. (L/A)

The Trump administration is revoking the parole of thousands of immigrants who they have found to have criminal records or to be on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist, a senior White House official told the Daily Caller.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has identified 6,300 individuals who were paroled into the United States since 2023, during the Biden administration, but are on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center or have a criminal record, a senior White House official shared with the Caller. The source was granted anonymity to discuss the details not yet announced. Every individual CBP identified is having their parole, which gives them benefits such as work authorization, stripped immediately, the official told the Caller.

“Among the 6.3k paroled aliens with criminal or terrorist records, 905 were collecting Medicaid (including 4 on the terrorist watch list). $276,000 was paid out,” the official shared with the Caller, adding that all had Social Security numbers. “41 were collecting Unemployment Insurance, receiving $42,000 in benefits. 22 received federal student loans totaling $280,000.”

Other immigrants granted parole under the Biden administration have also had their benefits stripped by the Trump White House. In March, termination notices started being delivered to hundreds of thousands of migrants who entered the United States through a fraud-ridden parole program launched by the Biden administration. The program, CHNV, was terminated by the Trump administration last month.

Under the initiative, half-a-million migrants were flown in from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela over the past several years.

“They allowed more than half a million loosely vetted aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela and their immediate family members to enter the United States through these disastrous parole programs; granted them opportunities to compete for American jobs and undercut American workers; forced career civil servants to promote the programs even when fraud was identified; and then blamed Republicans in Congress for the chaos that ensued and the crime that followed,” a senior DHS official previously said of the announcement.

You see this all the time in the trans community, or really any niche LGBT space. guarantee 70/80 percent of them have a Carrd page where they list their mental illnesses, like that's something to advertise.

Depression? go the fuck outside, touch grass for a week straight and build or fix something with your hands. it works miracles.

Anxiety? get some fucking balls and just do it. worst thing that can happen is they say no or disagree, such is life

OCD? idk how to solve that to be honest, I guess make yourself break the cycle?

Gender dysphoria? combination of going outside, eating healthy, and actually having social spaces in real life, not pilling yourself up on ssri's and joining tranny furry discord communities or 4chan boards. also stop watching porn as much as possible.

Tbf I do think consultants do deserve having their jobs be taken by 10 pajeets in Mumbai since they contribute absolutely nothing to society and bullshitting is literally their job.
