@MariaHill @yuhasz01 @TonyStark Thank you. A simple search finds us "Entitlement is a term that refers to something, often a benefit from the government, that you have the right to have. Entitlements are based on legal frameworks of a society that are derived from concepts of principle, rights, social equality, or enfranchisement."

@codewiz Put something into the solution that is neutral to raise the level. A few glasses filled with water until the solution covers both.

Today is the day three years ago I started my #Sober journey. #Alcohol no longer drives my decisions. It was only difficult for me for about two weeks. I had an easier time than most.

If you are struggling today with alcohol, and want support, please feel free to reach out via PM if it makes it easier for you. I'll help.

@fishidwardrobe I understand the classic trolley problem, which way to switch? Murder is wrong, period. Healthcare is f'd up, but isn't direct murder. We have to draw a line somewhere. @hellomiakoda

@hellomiakoda Then it has to not be murder. I disagree, I don't want to live in a world where we murder people like this.@fishidwardrobe

@hellomiakoda Why? If he killed someone doesn't he deserve to receive some punishment?

@fishidwardrobe No, it's not the trolley problem. As a society we cannot make vigilante justice legitimate. And more people voted the MAGA GOP into power, they are the cause of CEOs like this. People need to vote out those who create these problems.@hellomiakoda

@hellomiakoda Yes! Saying that to an NT makes it sound weird to them, but to us, it is perfectly logical and consistent.

@hellomiakoda It's such an odd preoccupation. We have veggie sausage each Sunday and I move the sausage away from ketchup I put on the plate, then take pieces and dip them to eat. 🤷🏽♂️

@hmm_cook Repeated for weekly sessions seemingly forever.

@hmm_cook All I wanted to do was run out of the room. I even still have a strong visceral response to the term. One of the worst experiences in my life. I'm glad it works for people. As I said, my wife loved it.

@hmm_cook The couples therapist that my wife and I saw liked using tapping. My wife liked it and saw good effects from it. For me it created anxiety and made me tense. I figured it was because I was autistic. Have you found tapping to work with autistic folks? Maybe it was just my form of weird it doesn't work with.

@ewen I had that happen to me only years ago on Amazon. I got a foosball table that had horrid assembly instructions. I wrote new ones and posted them. Apparently, the company took those, put them into their product, and then complained to Amazon that I published their copyrighted material. My instructions were removed. I spent over an hour putting those detailed instructions together and they not only stole them, but said I violated their copyright. I can't imagine how you feel. GRRR.

@ntnsndr Are you part of it Nathan? I'm curious about it. They ask a lot of questions and I want to be sure I'm joining a real thing.
