"NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE," posts the man who just led us into war.

Some people live or grew up in areas where the water source tastes weird or gross, so they might have a mental association of water with a negative quality. Some people remark that water is generally flavorless. I've heard this from other people on the spectrum. I prefer water with some kind of flavor. Water without a flavor is only satisfying on a hot day or if you've been working out. This is possibly a side effect of growing up with a high sugar diet where you expect everything to taste sweeter. So it might be attributed to the sugar industry's "fat makes you fat, sugar is fine" lasting effect on the populace.

Remember when they said as soon as Gay Marriage was legal, the earth was going to be destroyed?

They just meant they were going to make life on earth even worse if they didn't get to oppress their victims so freely.

I unironically support this insofar as actual academics conduct the study. It would be hilarious to watch the GOP in Congress try to suppress the report and then it gets leaked after it concludes correctly that TDS is just a made up term and there's nothing deranged about disliking the inhumane, greedy, sociopathic machinations of the most powerful man on earth whose demented whims crash markets and violate human rights. Paying money to find out why people dislike a legitimately evil person when people will just straight up tell you but you don't want to listen is too funny.

The Babylon Bee originally made fun of absurd Christian cultural issues, but then they got bought out and switched to a conservative punching down kind of humor.

How would one "steal a kiss" if it was a finite resource.

Stealing a kiss is another poetic use of the term.

Also while stealing is not always "punishable by law", it can still be classified as wrongdoing.

Depends on the context.

As an artist I find all forms of plagiarism to equate to stealing

As an artist, I don't. Plagiarism is about failure to cite sources and copying content while claiming it's yours. That's not even usually a legal issue. It's an academic issue. And it's not necessarily immoral either. You can be accused of plagiarizing yourself by not citing that you had previously written some of the content in a previous work. That's not even close to stealing, technically, legally, or morally.

Plagiarism is also very different from copyright violation.

and while they won't land you behind bars, they may get you a status of persona non grata with other creatives.

And it might get you fame and fortune and acclaim from others. Depends on the context.

that's stealing

It's important to note that copyright violation is never stealing or theft. That's a poetic term copyright maximalists use to morally equate two disparate concepts. Stealing and theft involves taking something that is finite and rivalrous and thus depriving the owner of it.

As George Carlin said, they only care about you until you're born..

Therapists are mandatory reporters. If she actually thinks that SA is going on, especially to a minor, then she's required by law to report it to the authorities. If she isn't reporting it then that means she's lying, doesn't have proof, or she's breaking the law by not reporting it. Either way, it's concerning.

Yeah, that's not a therapist. That's a bigot evangelizing their personal views under the guide of providing therapy. I'd also be concerned with the supposed help for actual issues because the method could be problematic since this individual appears to have no qualms with giving unethical advice.

If you're looking to do something, I'd look up the regulatory agency in the state and send a report. A therapist purporting to diagnose non-patients is a big red flag in addition to the bigotry and predictions of SA.

Also if you dont have kids then you shouldnt be discussing this. Do you know how strong the parental instinct is?

This is just useless gatekeeping. You don't have to be a parent to have a perspective on how people should be raised. Every adult was a child at some point, so everyone has an experience to relate about how they were raised and the flaws they see in different approaches from their direct experience. Parents aren't the only party involved. Not only does it take a village to raise kids, but other people are ultimately affected by parental decisions (e.g. Jennifer and James Crumbley).
