I really wanted to see that but by the time I almost got the chance.... quarantine.

If you want to help keep stinging bees away, you could try keeping a hive of a stingless variety? No honey, but still great pollination. Just make sure it’s diurnal so it can’t share honeybee territory.

Ok, see, that last one does sound like “the victims weren’t innocent so what they did wasn’t that bad.”

The term specifically refers to learning disabilities, which are comorbid with but not the same thing as ASD. Hell, in most schools, excessive pedantry is considered an academic advantage. Just because the slur is sometimes used on you does not mean you are one of the primary group affected by it.

I’d say exactly the wrong time. It’s a real real negative thing that they came at one of the few points that made it easier to commit a few genocides.

ASD is a mental illness, not a learning disability. Not the same thing. And if you’re wondering why I’m pedantic about this sort of thing, it’s because I have ASD. It’s kind of a hallmark of a lot of cases of the disorder.

Cause Waffle House don’t fuck around.

.... that’s like an Asian dude giving someone an N-word pass. It don’t work that way.

European imperialists did kinda show up at the height of Mesoamerican imperialism. While it doesn’t make the shit the Europeans did any less heinous, the empire they conquered and enslaved was not innocent.

On one front: heavy research into algal, biodegradable plastics. ASAP restrict non biodegradable plastics to medicine (bc medicine is the place where we have to be most careful with adaptations, and disposable steriles are paramount in medical care right now).

Granted, some of them were invasive dickbags. We destroyed the records of that too.

Actually I’m talking about several cultures in pre-European North America. There were over 200 nations here, some with evidence of enormous cities and incredible ecology management - and we destroyed almost all written records of it. Woo manifest destiny?

Plus none of the things you’re claiming must be discarded actually have to be discarded to reach sustainability goals. Localization of certain supply chains and economic globalization would handily raise standard of living for most of the world while raising sustainability. We can’t have the currently “efficient” (cost-wise - environmentally it’s anything but) concentration of industry/agriculture we currently have, but just because it’s the only model we use doesn’t mean it’s the only viable model. Plus, a available sustainable technologies are out there, they’re just suppressed in the name of market stability - see the early 21st century suppression of the electric car.

We don’t have to cut everyone’s quality of life. Hell, we can drastically raise quality of life for most of the planet. We do have to restructure the global economy, though, so that raising quality of life doesn’t require expanding industrialization. Ironically, we had a model or two of that kind of economic distribution, but we kind of destroyed the records of how it was done.

She needed help but what was done to her because she needed help is heinous.
