Andrew Tate coerced multiple women into camming for him in a set up where he’d keep all of the money. He’s also a rapist.

The idea of respecting a woman as a human being whose consent matters is about as alien to him as the idea that a blender or oven’s consent matters. He’s a rapist and human trafficker, but because we live in hell world, rapists and human traffickers are considered the pinnacle of human achievement by a rather significantly sized crowd.

When I had them, they were very sudden. I didn’t have auras or anything.

It was very odd. The first one I had I didn’t realize was a seizure - I was out working on a farm and woke up very confused and missing my glasses. It wasn’t until I had one in front of my ex husband, and woke up fighting firefighters, that I figured out what was going on.

So yeah, wouldn’t have warnings if I was driving. I’d honestly be happy to never drive again if I didn’t live in a place where that was impossible - I haven’t had one in years and think I figured out why I was having them, but it is scary knowing that there is some trigger that could hit me out of nowhere.

You are incorrect when it comes to the United Stares. There is a varying period of time you have to go without seizures, but you are not permanently barred from driving.

When I had seizures several years ago, I was told to wait for six months by the doctor. They didn’t report anything to any regulatory authority, it really just worked on the honor system. My seizures were controlled, and I drive regularly now.

It’s state by state. Some states don’t make physicians report, so there’s not necessarily enforcement. I waited the six months my state requires after my seizures, but there wasn’t really any mechanism by which a cop would have known if I hadn’t.

There’s some sort of lawsuit with retaliation over whistleblowers/racism, and I think the guy was recording to make sure that any salary promises were documented. The whole situation seems fucked.

I really need things to be habeñero level at least. Sometimes I’ve gotten a grinder of dried ghost chiles to get things up to snuff.

“Sociopath” is not a diagnosis for a mental illness or disability. It is a word describing behavior hostile to others. There is no systemic discrimination against people labeled as “sociopaths.”

Nope, “Jehovah” is a latinization. “Yahweh”/“YHWH” is a more accurate rendering.

At no point has the suggestion been that saying slurs should be illegal. It’s that if you say slurs, you are a shitty person.

Also - this is probably the most sociopathic and scary take on this thread. People say slurs rather than do violence, so we shouldn’t be concerned with people saying slurs? My understanding is that slurs are more often then not preludes to violence.

I like IQ as part of teaching the vocab words “validity” versus “reliability.” The test is “reliable” in that you’ll get the same scores consistently, but is it “valid” in that it claims what it purports to measure?

It’s also a good way to talk about the math behind standard deviation - very relatable for the “empirical rule.”

Straw man:

I refuse to being tone-policed.

Here’s an actual insult - imagine going through this many logical contortions to justify not being creative enough to come up with an insult that isn’t harmful to people you aren’t trying to insult.

“Please consider what words you use and whether some may be actively harmful to people you aren’t even trying to insult.”

“I’m being policed!!!!”
