  • This guy and his name calling lol. What grade is he in?

    “I won the Debate.” - lol, what?? There were no points. No one won. It was merely a chance for each candidate to appeal to the voters.

    “Everyone knows this” - No they don’t. If everyone knew that, he wouldn’t be saying it just like he’s not saying that we’re on planet Earth because everyone already knows that.

    “KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD.” - She was the Vice President. Her role is basically to break ties in the Senate and go to social gatherings to fill in for the President.

    “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” - Cause he saw how much it affected him in the polls. If the debate had helped him, he’d be calling for more debates. It would make no sense to be losing but declining debates because it helped the polls.

    He must have seen how stupid he looked up there. She was laughing at him with his stupid pet-eating rant. The dude tanked his chances with that part alone. The “concepts of a plan” was just a bonus.





  • oh, you mean the guy that declined tons of money to commit treason against Queen Elizabeth (original) for the Pope even tho the Queen was talking shit about him? if being loyal to your Anglican Queen over money and your own Catholicism is “selling out”, then yes, he did “sell out”. or if by “selling out”, you mean that he wrote real songs about depression rather than court-approved fancy-pants uppity shit the jesters were twerking to, then yeah, he “sold out” there too…get out of here with that bullshit.

  • ITT: people who have severely underestimated Mozart’s musical capacities and contributions.

    Mozart is a musician that is studied by nearly any professional musician. There are historians, musical scholars, and museums dedicated to him. He’s a household name across the world. He established a period of music. As a teenager, he deciphered a 12 min choral piece with multiple groups and solos after hearing it once and by memory wrote it down later that night (he heard it a 2nd time a few days later for minor corrections). When he presented the score to the clergy, they said he got one note wrong. After investigation, Mozart heard it right. The musician’s score was off by a note. Could any popular musician mentioned here decipher just a 6 min song of 4 instrument band after hearing it once with pen and paper ready? Imagine telling any music legend now, “Hey, you’re off by a half a step on the 3rd note of bar 28 of your own song.”

    Comparing an awesome popular singer, guitarist, or band to him is like comparing your friend that got a job at NASA to Einstein. There is no modern Mozart. There have been greats since Mozart, but there haven’t been any Mozarts since Mozart. I say this as a Beethoven fan. Mozart was the only Mozart. He was so good, that his name became a title for great musician: Mozart. No one listed in this thread is anywhere near being a Mozart.

    From what I’ve seen, here are some of the arguments against self-diagnosing:

    • Allistic people using autism as an excuse for their behaviors/difficulties, then denying the difficulties that actually autistic people experience and misrepresenting autistic people.
    • Narcissistic and psychopathic people pretending to be autistic to manipulate others, including actually autistic people.
    • Misdiagnosing themselves when their difficulties are actually related to other root causes, such as prolonged childhood abuse.

    In the first two arguments, the problem with self-diagnosing is the social impact it has on others, including the autistic community. I can see why some people are against self-diagnosing since it could make their lives harder, especially autistic people. The last one is more about helping the individual properly understand them-self and developing a proper course of action to improve their lives, so it’s an argument rooted in care.

    I am not entirely against self-diagnosis. However, I think it could be re-phrased to “self-identified” since “diagnosis” is a medical term. It would be like a person saying, “I’m self-diagnosed with depression.” That person isn’t diagnosed with depression, though they very well may be depressed. It’s really just a pedantic issue from my perspective. Regardless, I don’t really care one way or the other because I understand what they are saying and think that an actually autistic person self-identifying as autistic is valid enough. Still, while I wont invalidate someone for self-identifying by gatekeeping autism, I tend to be a little cautious at first because of my experiences with people pretending to be autistic. In this case, I think the issue is that some jerks just can’t let us have nice things.
