his own charity (this is wealth preservation tactic used by ultra rich).

I’ve never understood how this is supposed to work. If his money goes into the charity, it’s not his anymore. Seriously, someone please explain?

Depends on what “right to exist” means here.

I think it’s a bit concerning that AI has given us a gut reaction to suspect anything slightly unusual to be non-human generated.

Isn’t that convenient.

Talking about in the meantime. Working on this bullshit takes years if not decades. In the meantime, I have to react SOMEHOW when I fuck up, meaning I can apologise or try to explain what went wrong so the other person doesn't think I'm a total piece of shit AND apologise.

That might work once or twice but if you're apologising 10 times a day, I don't think you're getting off that easy.

"Remember Y2K and all the chaos that was supposed to happen? Computer nerds scared everybody into updating everything and make it 'y2k proof' or whatever and then it was a whole nothing burger."

"Remember the hole in the ozone layer? Scientists made us ban CFC's like we were going to die of skin cancer any day now and then nothing bad at all happened."

None of the above? I have certain traits that society thinks are weird. That's about it. I'm neither cursed nor gifted, I just very much don't fit the definition of "normal".

The delist is presented as a big operating “loss” to tax authorities.

I have absolutely no fucking idea how taxes work. But this sounds to me like I have insurance on my hand and I sit down one evening with a knife and cut off my hand and then go to my insurance company, showing them my bloody stump: "gib money!"

wtf.

Depends on what country. But in general, probably because the departments responsible tend to be understaffed and overworked, regardless of where, and there are quite a lot of migrants.

A battletoad.

Sure. How does that add to the topic at hand?

That's nonsense, because they're obviously looking for Erde.

Okay, and? Are you saying that's reason for any and all aid deliveries to stop?

In Germany, generally, students are expected to bring their own stuff, it's not the school's/teacher's responsibility to provide pencils and what not. That's probably where the confusion lies, there is no scenario in which a teacher has to specifically ask parents to provide supplies because they do that anyway.

But do I "agree"? Maybe I'm very good at figuring out other people, I just haven't had enough opportunity to test it and come to any conclusions about my ability. I'm definitely overthinking this, as I usually do, because I probably don't fully understand the possible implications of answering "agree" or "don't agree" and I hate not understanding.

I hate this type of question. I don't know whether I have trouble working out people's intentions because my mental (and physical) health has me isolated socially. I don't interact enough with people irl to know, I've been a loner basically all my life. Same for stuff like "do people frequently say X about you" - people don't say anything about me, let alone frequently or to my face.

It's really frustrating sometimes, especially when you're trying to get any diagnosis because these questionnaires don't take social anxiety into account.

Nobody tells me anything around here.

I hate that there are ridiculous places where getting a diagnosis might actually be harmful, that sucks so hard, man. I consider myself very fortunate to live in a place where a diagnosis can really only be beneficial (neutral at worst) and getting it is free. Just takes forever to get an appointment.

Jail! Jail for parent!
