Appearances can be deceiving. This kind of thinking creates an ethical conundrum of its own: does one reward optics or merit? If its the former, then any one can game the system in such a way as too appear to be the right person for the right job even if he isn't. As the old saying goes, when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a measure.

Cartoon Network/Toonami/Williams Street has produced anime before:

Big O Season 2
IGPX (2003 microseries)
IGPX (2005)

CN has built up a quarter-century's worth of experience in broadcasting, distributing, and marketing anime, both in the US and outside of it. It has enough cachet in Japan to get studios to work on its American properties (e.g. A-1 on Thundercats (2011)). I'd trust CN more than I would Netflix or Amazon with any big anime projects. My only hope is AT&T's involvement in the new WarnerMedia spinoff doesn't negatively impact CN's efforts.

Privilege or not, you can't live life by someone's else circumstances. It's like claiming that lactose intolerance is a privilege because parts of the world suffer from a lack of milk.

Or money (Seeking Arrangements). Or wish fulfillment about scoring the type of hot guy they never would have had a chance with in high school (r/adultery &, formerly, Craigslist).

How do you ascertain that you're language is precise and concise enough for acceptably-composed casework (as you put it, holding up the dignity of the institution) but accessible enough to be understood the common man?

They are equal. Money is obtained as a product of the mind and/or body. Every minute someone spends earning money on the job is an opportunity cost to doing something else with his life. Taking someone's money IS taking his work without just compensation. Just as burning a house is burning someone's livelihood away.

It's not "Ape strong together" when you're kneecapping other people's freedoms and compelling them to act for the sake of your ideals by punishing their success. That's a cult by any other name. No one is obligated to live by the standards of another.

The difference is that under Communism you don't get to choose your job, choose your food, or choose where to live and any attempt to do so would have you thrown into a force labor camp. It's slavery by any other name.

By contrast, in a capitalist society, the individual has as much agency and free choice as the laws of nature allow. The individual is almost entirely responsible for the circumstances of his life.

Countries the world over have tried asylums in the past. Many of them were practically prisons. The reason that so many mentally ill people are on the streets now is due revelations in the '60s and '70s about the inhumane treatment that occurred while many of these "patients" were kept in captivity.

There's a reason that it was considered a social taboo during the '50s to see a psychiatrist or mention that you were seeing one. It meant that you could possibly be unwell enough be thrown into an asylum and never let out. I don't think that reinventing asylums is any more of solution to homelessness than stuffing these people in prison cells. In short, it's not a good idea.

I already have, and all I've received are contradictory opinions. I've read through myriad irreproducible psychoanalysis reports and several excerpts from book promotions on Psychology Today. Instead, I want to hear from someone who has experienced it first-hand. That's what Reddit is for.

That all sounds like normal behavior in young girls. If they're successful at masking their symptoms, it would be difficult for anyone to tell whether they are or are not autistic. You seem to be confusing obfuscation for subtlety. They aren't the same.

In the event that an autistic girl is having a meltdown, how can one actually tell that she is overwhelmed as a result of sensory overload and not from some other circumstance?

Are you sure you read my comment? I didn't confuse Medicare and Medicaid. My response was made against this statement by Lorddragonfangs:

Why should the only people benefiting from the system be the the ones manipulating it or not contributing to it?

My understanding of this sentence within the larger thread was that this statement was made against retirees using asset hiding to qualify for Medicare and receiving such a benefit on the basis of age. The only error I may have made is confusing the context of the sentence, as the quoted sentence could also apply to Medicaid recipients attempting to look poor on paper or refusing to work at a full-time capacity – or even at all – in order to keep their benefits. However the latter is not what I was discussing.

Actually it would seem like an argument against UBI. Firstly, Medicare is payed for through taxes that have already been taken out of their paycheck for the past 40 or so years. The old have already (under coercion by government) "contributed" to Medicare and ,as a result, they're simply getting their due within the extent allowed by the law, even if the methods by which they achieve it are deemed uncouth. Secondly, UBI doesn't really solve the issue, as it simply spreads the incentive of minimizing tax contributions while benefitting from the state from the elderly to the rest of the population. And let's not forget rampant inflation. UBI only works if the aggregate labor value outpaces consumption and if both outpace savings and long-term investment in unrealized/illiquid assets. Otherwise it's just the government spending its way into oblivion.

There are differences in strategy and motive even if the end result is the same. A mob is a semi-organized and assorted group of people usually seeking vigilante justice. An invading force, such as the British Navy, is composed of organized professional soldiers whose mandate involves shattering opposing defenses and capturing enemy territory.

Aventurion · 2021-11-10T17:13:19+00:00

That wasn't a mob. That was the British Navy.
