Ha! Laws are for peasants, not their rulers.

Medically speaking most of the population has some form of retardation or another. Pretending your weaknesses are posative attributes won't make them go away or stop them from causing you difficulty in life.
The point others are making is that most *differences* from the mean come with positives *and* negatives. Being different doesn't necessarily mean being worse or being "sick".

But you can't logically argue that they currently don't define it as such.
Which I wasn't arguing. I argued that appeal to authority, particularly of a demonstrably poor authority, is not a valid argument.
Tariffs help protect entrenched local interests against foreign competition, and empower government regulators to reward their friends and punish their enemies.
But I'm sure it's all about love for Mother Gaia, who the Lorax says just hates CO2.
Because paying more for lamb was so important to American citizens.

Correctly speaking, it is a mental disorder as it is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as such. The DSM is the American Psychiatric Association's current understanding of all things mental disordered.
And you know, whatever the powers that be say is a mental disorder, really is one.
How long ago was homosexuality classified as a mental disorder in the DSM?
If you believe that you are owed romantic or sexual favours because you do things for them, you are not a nice guy. If you misrepresent your intentions towards women, in the belief that this makes you "deserve" their affection, you are not a nice guy. If you think that treating a woman well means she owes you something, treating basic human interaction as an exchange of goods and services, you're not a nice guy.
If someone leads someone on about their romantic interest to extract favors out of them, what does that make them?
No one is owed anything, except honesty and decency. Why are women who lead men on given a pass for their manipulation, while a man who does the same to a woman is considered a cad?
"Nerdy guys aren’t guaranteed to get laid by the hot chick as long as we work hard. "
oooh, news flash
Find me five people in the universe who needed you to tell them that. Most people assume that nerdy guys are guaranteed *not* to get the girl.
Note that the psycho du jour showed no signs in believing in work or of being a nerd. He was a wannabe popular vapid tool, as opposed to the unpopular vapid tool he actually was. I guess he played video games. Is that all it's supposed to take to be a nerd these days?
If Chu wants to castrate himself for the sin of being born with a penis, he should feel free.
If a scifi writer wrote about it, it must be impossible, because a scifi writer would never try to realistically project out the future of technology. The fi in scifi is for *fiction*, don't you know?
Ok, Wikipedia articles have errors - according to their analysis.
Take a bunch of doctors and have them write articles on the same topics to the *same level of detail* and have them judged as well.
How many of those articles will be judged as having *no* errors?
You see, if they were really *scientists* interested in the truth of whether your average doctor had better information than Wikipedia, that's what they would have done. A comparison.
But instead, they claim to have found errors in Wikipedia (which doesn't establish that there were errors, only that they thought so), and then said "hey, keep forking over money to our government empowered guild". What a surprise.
How about a publicly accessible forum where the SUPPORT STAFF answer questions?
What's wrong with peer-to-peer support? Basically the company is free-riding on the backs of its users.
The company isn't free riding. No one is forced to answer questions on the support channels. Some people want to. And the company is facilitating that free support, and often supplementing it with some of their own. That's what they should be doing.
The problem isn't the company leveraging people who want to help. The problem is when people don't get the support they need, either from other customers, or the company. The metric that counts is how long it takes a user to get an accurate, actionable answer, whether that's a solution, or a verification that "you can't do that".
Why do you specify "other people" when that was not stated before? Every champion of "liberty" over "social harmony" means their own liberty over the liberty of others.
Because when I speak, I don't go along with statist propaganda about my own views. Champions of liberty mean everyone's liberty.
Champion of "social harmony" mean harmony with their vision of society, and if you don't happen to want to live that way, they're happy to use violence and threats of violence against you until you comply.
A priority is shaking down law abiding citizens for money. A priority is terrorizing citizens in the middle of the night with an armed raid of a dozen officers to find a joint. A priority is terrorizing your children and shooting your dog on such a raid.
A priority is padding pay checks with overtime pay. A *big* priority is confiscating cameras from citizens recording what the cops do, and then arresting them on some bogus charge. A priority is protecting cops by abusing citizens, using wholly disproportionate and unnecessary force. A priority is putting the populace in their place whenever they seem a little uppity.

Yeah, but how keeping regular backups of that over the years?
They're just a gawking car accident network now. Every video clip is preceded with "some viewers may find this clip disturbing".
You tell 'em!
Rules aren't for our rulers!
So their "excuse" is that they were willfully breaking records laws all along?
The US should know better than to rely on that KGB goon for anything, particularly military hardware.
He'll cut off gas to countries - you think he won't cut off rockets?
It's simply bad business to rely on a supplier who is going to jerk you around like that, and worse defense policy to rely on an unstable enemy.
Yes, how foolish of him to negotiate! What's the point of having all those nukes if he's too timid to use them?

You think rationalizations for more government regulatory power will actually make sense. That's cute.
Tariffs help protect entrenched local interests against foreign competition, and empower government regulators to reward their friends and punish their enemies.

If you misrepresent your intentions towards women, in the belief that this makes you "deserve" their affection, you are not a nice guy.

"unveiled a new drone... built with secure software that prevents the control and navigation of the aircraft from being hacked"
So, um, what does that imply about the *existing* drones?
I sure do hope they explain in detail the current vulnerabilities in the current models that they've overcome with their shiny new solution.

And it is precisely sociopathy to have an absolutist stance of "liberty" over "social harmony".
Cause you know, sociopaths are always so absolutist in protecting the liberty of other people.
The real Fucking the poor undergo is to ensure they must attend public school.
Progressives love the poor - that's why they keep them that way.
This is about the oldest lesson online. Don't feed the trolls. The proper response to a troll is *plonk*.
We're raping another planet now. We're EVIL.
Yeah, it's priorities, not funding.
