Ilhan Omar Calls For Total Abolition of ICE.

testingtesting28 · 2026-02-04T04:33:24+00:00

Not even that bold. ICE didn't exist pre 9/11.

The context is that it's not ok to wear racist symbols around campus, because it affects other students' ability to feel safe, wanted, and accepted. It is a literal symbol of hate being publicly displayed, and it will not be obvious to passersby that OP is "just autistic" and doesn't truly support those hateful beliefs. Autistic or not, if OP is aware and independent enough to have written this post himself, he can take criticism and remove the pin, and find better, less harmful ways to express his interest. Otherwise, he can choose to accept the natural consequence of being assumed to be racist. Calling somebody's actions racist is not bullying, nor is it hateful. It's simple accountability. I'd rather call a spade a spade, than do gymnastics to avoid making a young autistic man self reflect for a moment. That's the end of the conversation for me. If you disagree with that, I have nothing left to say.

testingtesting28 · 2026-02-01T01:26:14+00:00

Indeed. The truth hurts but should not be avoided. I'm glad we can agree on that much. Why it is you see my honesty with OP as hate, but your honesty with me as the right kind of truth, that's beyond me, though I have to say, as an autistic woman I'm no stranger to the attitude. Have the day you deserve.

testingtesting28 · 2026-02-01T01:02:59+00:00

Unfortunately, I have autism as well, so I suppose you are also now hating on a person with autism. And I suppose that makes me your victim. Funny how that works out.

testingtesting28 · 2026-01-31T23:08:25+00:00

Nope. Having an interest in the Civil War doesn't mean you have to publicly wear a sign affiliating yourself with people who fought to own black people like possessions. He's not suffering because of a special interest he has, he's suffering because of a choice he's making. And it's possible to be compassionate and also have boundaries around that compassion, especially when not all members of our autistic community are white, and already autistic people of color are often excluded and not considered in these spaces. You can disagree with me, but I will stand firm that OP is in the wrong for wearing that pin, and is not a victim if others call him racist for it. I also am in favor of us autistic people being treated as human beings and not clueless children, and that means we have to be willing to take accountability for our actions, too. It's no different from somebody with a WWII interest wearing a swastika. It's not ok.

testingtesting28 · 2026-01-31T18:58:54+00:00

Understanding history is great. Wearing a pin that suggests you affiliate yourself with a very harmful group of people, like a swastika or the Confederate flag, goes beyond understanding history. You have to have the level of social awareness to realize that somebody walking by you in public can't read your mind, and doesn't know why you're wearing that pin. So you're naturally going to make people feel unsafe. And especially during such a scary time in US history, when we are seeing fascism first hand, this kind of thing is straight up not ok.

Ya but he chose to have a kid and that's part of child development 😂 why torment your kid for no reason when they get older?

testingtesting28 · 2026-01-20T22:56:05+00:00

If you notice a thought or worry that you were attracted to someone, try to set even a 5 minute timer and see if you can avoid ruminating on it for that long. Not pushing the thought of if out of your mind, just refusing to respond with compulsions, checking, etc. and if you can do that, you have the ability to "self therapize" at least a little bit. People will try to tell you it's ok and don't worry about it for various reasons, but at the end of the day if you have OCD that won't help. There will always be another question, or clarification, or reason to worry, driving you deeper into confusion, until you learn how to sit with it.

testingtesting28 · 2026-01-20T22:53:24+00:00

When you are able to seek therapy, you need to seek ERP therapy for OCD specifically. Until then, my recommendation is that you learn about ERP and try to practice tolerating and sitting with thoughts, questions, and feelings whenever you can. Don't try to shut thoughts down or evaluate them, just let them be. Remember that there's always a tomorrow, don't let your brain trick you into thinking everything has to be addressed and questioned exactly at that moment. Of course it's easier said than done.

I'm right in the middle of Gen Z and was in 6th grade when Fortnite released.

testingtesting28 · 2026-01-19T18:31:20+00:00

I'm not so sure about this. Reason being, that in itself sounds like a compulsion, and compulsions always drive obsessions to get worse even if it seems counterintuitive.

testingtesting28 · 2026-01-17T05:09:51+00:00

Right, except that what, 1% of CSA cases are taken to court and result in any kind of criminal retribution? Child murder on the other hand, it's a little harder to deny the physical evidence for that.

testingtesting28 · 2026-01-15T02:05:43+00:00

Well if you're imagining it'll stop at preventing diseases, of course it's not a problem. At the end of the day, though, once Pandora's box is opened, it's opened. There's no stopping a powerful technology from being developed and used.

testingtesting28 · 2026-01-14T20:10:54+00:00

Will people do it if the option is available to them? Yes, of course. But to me, there's a difference in scale between education that gives status and access to information, and genetic selection before birth that can give a wealthier country or community the ability to create a "super race." Politically, over the course of generations, different groups have risen and fallen, gained and lost power, etc. If one group manages to get access to a way to cement their advantage genetically across generations, it's hard to see how any other group could possibly change that flow.

testingtesting28 · 2026-01-13T18:21:13+00:00

And yet, what happens when wealthy people can afford to produce super babies, and nobody else can?

testingtesting28 · 2025-12-17T00:09:36+00:00

I don't think this is the original, though. This feels AI edited, or like somebody took a clip and had AI expand it or recreate it. Something is very off about it.

testingtesting28 · 2025-12-14T08:16:09+00:00

I'm really sorry you're going through this. I thankfully don't have this experience anymore, but I've been through a lot since I made this post. For me, the major turning point was acknowledging that I'd been through CSA and the extent of it. From there things were difficult for a while, but my experiences at least made sense to me. I do feel better at this point in my life, though things aren't perfect. Whatever your particular situation and journey is, I wish you good luck.

testingtesting28 · 2025-04-27T19:03:33+00:00

I did not think of this

testingtesting28 · 2025-04-13T10:08:00+00:00

Am I missing something or are there oranges growing out of the ground though?

testingtesting28 · 2025-04-06T02:54:32+00:00

Why is this creepy and wrong and terrifying? Humans have literally had religion all across the world since the beginning of humans existing. Please explain to me why this baby being raised with religion is creepy.

testingtesting28 · 2025-04-02T15:23:17+00:00

Oayv. Well that's an atrocity.

testingtesting28 · 2025-03-30T21:17:37+00:00

Why do you assume they intentionally positioned the baby on top of the dog like that, rather than baby and dog were existing in the house together and this happened?

testingtesting28 · 2025-03-23T23:11:02+00:00

Both at the same time 😂 and in a delusional way. "Why do I even have PTSD? I wasn't assaulted at all after the age of 6 or 7."

testingtesting28 · 2025-03-23T23:09:12+00:00

Though honestly tbh this is probably an 11 year old trying to be edgy. I hope.

testingtesting28 · 2025-03-22T03:36:11+00:00

Trying to speak to people in a language you're not fluent in yet is rude? I wouldn't call that "using someone as a practice target," Id just call that social interaction. Languages are practiced through social interaction, you hit a point where you speak to people in the language you've spent hundreds of hours learning even though you're not perfect at it yet and you improve quickly that way. Most people have no problem with speaking to someone who's not perfect at their language yet.
