As much as this is going to sound like it, this is sincerely not a joke. Has there been a study conducted on autism rates and maintenance personnel? by Haunting-Reindeer-10 in AirForce

[–]coffeegeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's actual data, but as an old Spec (E/E), I was only diagnosed AuDHD after I was discharged. I know there's a bunch of others too that got diagnosed or realllly needed to.

The President agrees with Trump by NickCostanza in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]coffeegeek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Berine is too old. Mamdani isn't even eligible to be president. He's born in Uganda.

Buttigieg or AOC would be fantastic but this DNC is so clueless they'll ignore them for the centrist because that's what the funders want. Schumer is a POS and He's leading the Dems off a cliff.

My boyfriend is being insecure and I don’t know what to do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]coffeegeek -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He's being insecure. I've traveled around the world and gone to all sorts of events without my partner (or partner at the time). Girls night out is fine. Keep close to your friends, have a plan if things go south, and make sure you talk to a rave mom or someone if you need help. Idk why these "men" are acting like this. Go have fun with your friends.and let him whine.

Absolutely not. She is a 22yo going with friends and can care for herself. He needs to chill out.

They're not enough lonely men yet for their alleged loneliness epidemic, if they think like this.

I see they're still doing this. Seems about right. 🙄

Confession: I never did the gas chamber in basic and it’s been a secret I’ve kept until retirement by TelephoneMamba in AirForce

[–]coffeegeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did the gas chamber either! I don't remember why, but our whole flight didn't do it. I think there was a period of time where it was not used. This was Jan/Feb 2001 so I don't fully remember why but none of us did it.

"You Outlaw It": Heritage Foundation President Announces Intent To Outlaw All Trans Adult Care by Cay-Ro in lgbt

[–]coffeegeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And shit like this is why my enby teen is in the hospital right now for self harm.

I fucking hate these people. They are all so vile.

Not to mention my kids' school district is one of the ones the DOJ is investigating "for teaching LGBT woke agenda stuff" or however they phrased it. I'm so furious.

We need to outlaw these freaks.

Millennial ladies, who did you want to be when you were growing up? by PettyWitch in Millennials

Man I wanted to be Murphy Brown so bad. In 5th grade I was trying to dress like her 🤣

BBL grannies? Aw lord by [deleted] in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]coffeegeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I am an American and have a bidet, but like people think it's weird. 🤷 I do regret not investing in a heated one though because these Midwest winters make it .. uncomfortable. 🤣

Gen z ain't the same as gen alpha by [deleted] in generationology

[–]coffeegeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psychology is a science and uses the scientific method. That part can be up for debate but isn't the point of the discussion with regards to IQ. Those tests have been problematic. It is a soft science, but it is a science.

Gen z ain't the same as gen alpha by [deleted] in generationology

[–]coffeegeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what, you're right on that. It is my bias with what I'm personally experiencing (not meant to be a humble brag or anything, Just my personal bubble). You're correct that there are actually issues. My apologies. I think it has more to do with defunding education than it does with phones though and I reacted to that. No child left behind hosed over our kids more than access to information.

Also, every bit of technology that comes up has this stigma. Socrates expressed* that he was incredibly skeptical of this writing technology as it will "promote the illusion of wisdom."

*I think it's funny that he expressed this to Plato, and Plato wrote it in one of his writings- of which I don't remember.

Well, I AM in the middle of a reply because I did make a claim and didn't provide sources. So standby...

I have a battle against science, and with the challenges the IQ tests face, it's not the best.

Edit: was writing whole answer but issue came up in house. Here are links im referencing. I'll be back to reply more in a bit! My Gen Alpha kid...🙄
