keep on shining you crazy diamond
As another autistic person, I agree completely.
Christians (like pretty much every category of people) can be absolute jerks - I get that. I also get that you are under a lot of stress and pain. IMO, anyone who is good to their mom is generally a good person - and that seems to be you. Hang in there, and cherish this time with your mom.
Thanks, Dale. If your name is actually InfiDale- well you have cool parents. I do want to mention one thing that has bugged me in your responses. You may take this as an attack - it's not intended that way. You called me an uneducated asshole. Not cool, man. I'm a human being.
...take care of yourself too (which I know is probably the last thing on your mind). Sorry for the misunderstanding.
...it's so easy to be misunderstood (as demonstrated by this entire exchange). Though, I'm autistic, so speaking to people isn't my favourite thing to do...I prefer text, which leads me into many misunderstandings! Anyway, I know things are tough for you - been through it myself. Don't forget to...
I hear you. I did read your initial post as a "shot" at older folks (I'm just turned 60 and am beginning to forget some things so I tend to be sensitive when I think someone is mocking age). I was wrong. You're right when you complain about not being able to "speak" in places like this...
And, I do hope your mom has as comfortable end to her life as possible. Death really sucks, but you being there for her is something I bet she cherishes.
Obviously I misread your intentions. I'm not sure what my being christian has to do with any of this though. I did *not* take a shot at you because I'm christian - but I probably won't convince you of that. Anyway - best to you and your mom and her nice friends who visit.
I apologize. Didn't mean to make you so angry. Text is tough to parse sometimes. When I read your message I took it as "haha - old people are dumb" - which wasn't your intention. I am guessing that your outburst is due to your mom dying and I am sorry for that....
Sorry about your mom - I hope she's comfortable - or as comfortable as possible. Great of you to be there for her. But what's the point of the rest of your post? 90 year old people are forgetful - you will be too (if you live to 90). The last bit of your post seems ageist.
Is there any way to take an organization, such as one like CNN, to court for allowing lies and misinformation to be spread on their networks?
Last night my wife and I saw and heard Jane Goodall speak. What a remarkable human being she is.
Joy expressed. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic.
I love the looks on the faces of the folks in the background. HBD to Geddy!
Thanks for sharing. Those paths are really cool. Are you using GeoGebra or Desmos for those animations?
Cool indeed. Symmetry isn't something I spent much time on in my studies or career, but I've always been fascinated by the base concept of symmetry. Your regular polygon rotations yield fun, clean paths - just wondered what irregularity would do to that symmetry.
Have you ever tried irregular polygons (in either, or even both, positions)? I'm just a bit curious about the 'shape of syymmetry' there.
"IT'S TUCKED INTO MY SOCKS"
Fair point.
Infinitely many, unless you put constraints on the dimensions (such as "length can only be natural numbers"). I love questions like what you've shared, but often there isn't enough specificity.
Harry Nilsson's "The Point", and all Laurel and Hardy.
MSNBC - why did your employee, Christina Ruffini, lie to your audience?
One of the best games ever made.
Have you ever tried a Triple PB&J? Three slices of bread - two sides with PB and two sides with J. Dangerously delicious.
Thanks for sharing what you wrote. I think your final sentence is the crux.

Because you are loved.
Thanks for posting this. Resonates with my life experience.
I'm on a Galaxy Tab S9. Your vid is just a blank screen for me (maybe an incompatibility with my tablet?) - FYI. Pretty cool feature, though.
Leaving X was one of my better decisions in life (and one of the easier ones too).

Congrats!
I’m fine, but thanks.

Do something nice for someone else today - just to brighten their day.
We *don’t* elect PMs. The leader of the party with the most seats assumes the role of PM. The only folks who can vote for Carney are those in the riding in which he runs, and they are voting for him to be a Member of Parliament, not PM.
I *really* appreciate what you’re doing! Truth is - I am autistic and for some reason incorrect dates bug me…lol. Please don’t take it personally. Thanks for doing what you do.

I love what you are doing - truly. However you never seem to be able to get the dates correct (third game post in a row with the wrong year). Not a huge deal, but just letting you kbow.
