This explains so much about my life.
ID: post from ineffectualdemon: "the thing with neurodivergent folk and rules is that if they don't understand why a rule exists they will not follow it ever.

They will listen politely while being told the rule but then will immediately ignore it because they perceive it as nonsense.

They won't argue either they just will not follow that rule unless it is explained fully so that they do understand why it exists.

On the flipside if they do understand a rule they will be completely enraged that no one else is following the clear instructions! They follow it scrupulously and so should everyone else.
There is no middle ground.

hey if you think it's ok to throw trans rights under the bus you aren't a good person and no amout of rationalization about politics and winning is going to make you a good person because you're willing to throw trans rights under the bus and that makes you a piece of shit

When I say it’s the only question, it is because of the question underlying the question. Which is, ‘Do people deserve dignity, rights & protections?’ If a qualifier changes your answer, whether it’s trans or Black or Palestinian, you have completely failed the trustworthiness test.

Every single question about trans people (or whatever group these people are targeting) is really just one question: "is it OK to hate this group and discriminate against them?" If the answer is anything other than complete repudiation of the subject, it's a failure

Our taxpayer dollars are being spent at an American company (in the middle of a trade war) that offers better deals to folks walking in off the street than to teachers ordering through the Ontario Ministry of Education portal. Make it make sense!!! #OntEd

Too few people understand Dolly Parton is a rebel. She plays along with roles society demands of women, is kind, etc. But only a rebel demanding equality would perform in - or write songs for - "9-5" and "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." She didn't need to say it. She did it. And she sang it.

This is seriously fucked. Like for starters they’re using commercial web analytics that are in no way in line with federal privacy disclosure requirements…
Every webpage you load is making phone calls.
Not to people, but to servers around the internet, dozens per second, all invisible to you.
When I opened TrumpRx, I right-clicked the page, opened the browser's built-in inspector, and started reading the list. Mixed in with the routine traffic was a name I recognized:
PostHog. PostHog is a Silicon Valley analytics company whose entire business model is recording what visitors do on a website and reporting it back to whoever owns the site.
Mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, keystrokes. I had not typed anything. I had not clicked anything. I had just opened the page, and it was already on the phone with PostHog telling them about me.The recordings are not anonymized. IP addresses are not stripped. And the way it is configured, the data looks to your browser like it is going back to TrumpRx, but it is actually being forwarded behind the scenes to PostHog.
That is a technique used to slip past ad blockers by disguising where the data is really going, and it is not something I expected to find on a federal health website. So I went and looked at the other sites the studio had built. Real Food, the federal food policy site. Trump Accounts, the children's savings program. The studio's own homepage, ndstudio. gov. All of them had the same vendor, the same setup, IP addresses not stripped, the same forwarding trick. And onnot stripped, the same forwarding trick. And on ndstudio. gov alone, running alongside PostHog, was something someone had built entirely by hand. Five hundred and forty lines of custom JavaScript with a name embedded directly in the code: AutoMonitor. What it appears to do is rewire the part of the browser that handles how a page talks to the outside world, so that every conversation the page has with any server gets copied and forwarded to a private backend with no public presence. The studio has the structural ability to keep a copy of every recording as it passes through their infrastructure. I cannot prove they are keeping one. The pipe is built that way on purpose, and that is the part that matters.

Canada’s wealth gap is the widest it’s been in StatCan’s recorded history. You’d think Carney would focus on that -- not privatization. In fact, “Carney’s policies will only make inequality even worse," @dtcochrane.bsky.social, a senior economist with the Canadian Labour Congress, told me. Uh oh:

In all of this, don't miss the term "asset-recycling". Canadians might also be manipulated to feel like they're supporting a, um, war effort by potentially watching Canada sell off crown corporations. Hard questions need to be asked about this. ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/carney-... #CdnPoli
The fund is expected to grow from its initial modest size through reinvestment and the proceeds of asset recycling, according to a fact sheet released by Carney’s office on Monday. Asset recycling typically involves the leasing or selling a government-owned asset to private sector investors, with the proceeds used to invest in new infrastructure.

“Over time, and depending on need, the government will also consider other sources of capital for the Fund, such as unlocking the full value of federal assets,” the fact sheet said.
