My parents actually are canceling Netflix over Cuties. It’s ridiculous.

Of course she would die in 2020. FUCK

You may not have realized what you were saying, but saying that I was being childish really cut deep. It almost feels ableist, whether you intended it to be or not. I’m fully self-aware that my autism has stunted my emotional development. I’m aware that I’m behind that curve compared to my peers. I’ve seen my friends eventually grow apart from me because they are maturing and I”m still 19 in a lot of ways. It other ways I’m still 8. Do you know how isolating that can be to be a child in an adult’s body? Or how painful and embarrassing it has been to see my younger siblings grow up and are able to easily exist in this society while I struggle continuously? When you say I need to act like an adult, you are holding your maturity over my head and trying to shame me for not being at that same level as you. Fine, I’m not as fully developed as you are. Maybe I will be one day. I don’t dislike you, but sometimes the way you communicate in here is hard for me to read as an autistic person. And you either seem to be unaware or don’t care that you’re pushing my buttons and you keep going further. I still struggle with reading faces but have gotten better with reading body language. Now that COVID has switched our society to even more of an online-based one it’s made it even more difficult to keep in touch with people. I won’t respond to your other points simply because I’m self-aware that it’s hard for me to debate emotionally charged subjects over the internet. I just need to pull out from that before it sucks me in further.

Your posts are lesser not because I’m a teacher, but because you’re trying to normalize the rising ignorance surrounding the Holocaust. It’s disgusting. I hate that you like to be Mr Spock and have no emotions and all reason when it comes to delicate issues that honestly should be handled more sensitively. Do you think the Jewish people who are worried by this news are overreacting?

I used to think people were exaggerating about his drug usage but now it’s become pretty obvious to me whenever he’s on uppers compared to when he isn’t.

I wonder how many of these people can name Christopher Co Yeah, you see, you had to put in another dig about how I don’t have a special knowledge of history textbooks. You aren’t even self-aware enough to realize when you’re being a dick. I at least know that I’m being a bitch right now but I don’t give a fuck that I am. I went to school to study education, and Holocaust education in particular was something we talked about because of how it’s a requirement in the state of Florida. It’s something I do have a background in. Sure, belittle me because I don’t have a speciality in history textbooks all you want. I’m simply over people who continually talk down to teachers. And I’m not going to take it from you.

I don’t work as a teacher’s aide. I work as a private instructor for a variety of subjects, with a speciality in special education. Now you are trying to downplay me by saying I’m simply an aide, ffs.

I’ll start when you do.

Sure, you can keeping ‘splaining education to someone who actually works in that field, but you’re not telling me anything that I don’t know. The fact is that for decades many Jewish Americans have pushed Holocaust education so that it doesn’t become just another forgotten event in history. There’s even a whole museum in DC dedicated to just that. Maybe you don’t think it’s worrisome that younger Americans don’t even know how many Jewish people died in the Holocaust, but I don’t think it’s up to you whether that’s concerning or not. I’m seeing lot of activity of Jewish users on Twitter who find this concerning. Maybe you should tell them that they’re overreacting. I’m sure they’ll appreciate your fresh perspective.

There are events that happened hundreds of years ago that are still given primary focus in history classes. Those in charge of curriculum decide what’s important and what isn’t.

Maybe it’s not my place to speak here, but something doesn’t sit right about seeing a bunch of Gentiles telling a Jewish users that he’s going overboard with the holocaust comparisons. Like, you may very well think that, but it’s just not a good look.

Obviously it’s easy to go through the public education system and still be ignorant on a lot of world history, but that has never really applied to the Holocaust. The Holocaust has been a huge part of American curriculums for decades. It was a deliberate choice to highlight it to try and prevent something like it to occur in the future. I can’t speak to other states, but I know it’s a requirement for it to be taught here in Florida. The fact that younger people are more ignorant on this matter is a sign that it’s not a focus in education like it used to be, at least in certain parts of the country. I think it’s being downlplayed in education for more insidious reasons than what you’re implying.

I feel like 2020 is just a taste of what’s to to come in what will likely be a terrible decade.

I find it completely unbelievable that the US government would force minority women into having hysterectomies.

Maybe he should investigate whether people will die or not from seeing Tenet.

I know that’s the stereotype but I went to a Rocky Horror screening and those white people wouldn’t shut up. They even threw stuff at the screen! How rude.

People outside of the autistic community don’t often talk about how often we’re treated differently by law enforcement. I’m considered high functioning (even though I personally don’t like that term) and my coping strategies have improved a lot over the years (meaning I’m much better at fitting in and pretending to be a neurotypical than I used to be). But once in college I had security alerted because I was shopping while autistic. It’s common for us to be seen as suspicious just because we don’t outwardly express ourselves the way the way average people do. Once the paramedics were called because I had a meltdown after getting pulled over by an officer. Law enforcement just doesn’t know how to handle us. When we get overwhelmed with a situation we’re treated as dangerous or unwell. I can’t even comment on how horrifying that story is.

Back when I was dating my ex I told him I was taking a break from this board and he said, “good, it’s about time.”

Some people are boycotting it because the actress openly supports the Hong Kong police.

I was supposed to see this at a pop up drive in last night with friends last night but plans fell through. Admission was $24 a car. I was anticipating it all week so I decided to just treat myself to a sweet, optimistic movie. After watching it I wish I had just formed over the five extra dollars so that I could own it. I could definitely see myself watching this again if I’m having a bad day and am in need of a pick-me-up.

I rented Face the Music this morning and absolutely loved it. I never thought a Bill and Ted movie would make me cry. This is the perfect movie for 2020 and already my favorite of the trilogy.

There is something about the first movie that as a whole just works better for me but Bogus Journey was way more creative and unique. It was far better than I was expecting.

It’s been confirmed by the AP as well. John Kelly really needs to speak out. It’s quite obvious that he was one of the sources in the article, now he just needs to publicly confirm it.

I’m watching the first two movies in anticipation of the new one. The first I haven’t seen in years and it still holds up as a fun time. It felt like pandemic comfort food. I’m watching Bogus Journey for the first time, and how come nobody told me just how utterly strange of a sequel this is? It’s not as charming as the first, but I really have to admire it for gong all out and not simply rehashing the plot of the first.

If he gets better
