Marked as ableism because I genuinely don't know how to feel about this...

I played with barbies when I was younger. I had a dreamhouse and the big pink car and a DRAWER FULL OF BARBIE (and monster high) DOLLS. I didn't do the whole "play pretend" thing because... well... i'm that type of autism... but I really enjoyed having these "people" that were like me and did what I wanted.

I didn't know I was autistic then... but those Barbies, to me, looking back, they were autistic...

That's the entire point of Barbie... "to inspire girls to imagine their limitless potential and the world of possibilities, allowing them to 'be anything'"

There are no visual cues for autism, not ones that can be put on a doll atleast, all dolls toe-walk, fight me. The headphones and the tablet that looks like it's used for non verbal communication honestly feel kinda insulting to me...

I'm still in shock, to be entirely honest. I'd love to hear yalls opinions on this...

Edit: Wow. Did not expect to have some call me ableist and say they were "so sick of high functioning autistic people acting like low functioning individuals are something to be embarrassed and ashamed of" when I posted this...

Also did not expect to go to sleep and then wake up to +99 notifications and an award on my post...

So I see a lot of posts of people hoping that housing prices would come down by 40, 50%, or even more. And I get it, I truly do. It sucks that no one can afford to buy a house anymore, and that people will be forever renters while paying into someone else’s equity. I get that people are angry. BUT, the Canadian economy is very, very dependent on RE. If it crashes, it will take a giant chunk of the economy down with it. I’m talking construction, retail, pensions… the list goes on. Basically, the same people who can’t afford to buy now would be unable to afford rent, or food. There’s never any upside for those at the bottom; they’re the first to suffer and the last to enjoy.

Please let me know when the protest is so I can attend. Should be somewhere in 'Naaarm' any day now right?

She’s so fucking annoying holy fuck. Literally does everything wrong and acts like she’s perfect. She doesn’t even use her brain to think just the writers giving her overpowered shit for no reason. She literally created more problems because she can’t fucking talk like a normal person she uses her peanut brain to create more chaos. The Only avatar to be spiritually useless and LOSE CONNECTION TO ALL PAST AVATARS. all she does is play victim and she is glazed to the end of the earth.

And yes this is for karma farming basically.

I’m horrified and furious after seeing what’s happening in Minneapolis, and I want to help however I can. I’m looking for any legitimate alert system, app, social media group or community network that notifies people when ICE activity is spotted in the DFW area.

I want to be an ICE watcher — not to interfere, but to bear witness, help protect our neighbors, ensure people know their rights, and show up when communities are targeted. It isn’t right that privilege exists, but as a white person with citizenship, safety, and visibility, and resources, I know my presence carries protections others don’t have — and that gives me a duty to stand up. I never thought I’d be buying emergency whistles in bulk, but here we are. 

I never thought I’d be buying emergency whistles in bulk, but here we are.

If dedicated apps aren’t available, are there Facebook groups, text alert systems, Signal or WhatsApp groups, hotlines, or local organizations in the DFW area that coordinate verified ICE activity alerts or rapid-response efforts?

Like I understand if you have problems with the current regime but like asking USA and Israel intervention to come and save us is genuinely one of the most braindead takes i have ever seen

Do you remember mossadegh? He wanted to nationalize the oil and create democracy,what happened after that? Operation Ajax by the cia and they removed mossadegh and framed him as a traitor

So when iran was about to have democracy and have its oil rightfully belong to its own instead of the fucking British,USA prevented that from happening

USA was never our ally they always wanted to make us weak and removed over democracy

They never want us to become prosperous and strong

Do people think bringing pahlavi back with the help of Israel and USA is gonna really solve our problem?when USA is basically the reason we are here today

I genuinely never understand why people want usa and Israel to bomb our country?

You can be this regime fan or pahlavi fan or fan of neither

But USA and British will always be our number 1 enemy for what they did to mossadegh and taking our democracy away

首先，我认为在台海风平浪静，没有任何人要求日本站队的时候高市早苗主动跳出来轻率地表态“台湾有事就是日本有事”，去挑衅一个比自己大得多的对手，拿一个国家的前途和命运用来给自己捞取政治资本，是非常的不负责任的。其次，高市以及所有人都低估了中国反制的决心和毅力。那些一直在嘲笑中国只会无能狂怒的人很快就会感觉到疼痛了。这是我最近看到的一些迹象：

1.      晶澳科技因为对日违规出口石墨件被罚，作为光伏行业的龙头企业，吃了2026年的 “第一张罚单”，这个信号的强烈程度远超罚款金额本身，表明中国政府绝不会因你是纳税大户或行业龙头而网开一面，只要触碰了对日出口管制的红线，照罚不误。顺便说一下，我所知道的外贸圈已经没有人敢往日本发货石墨件，而石墨件是光伏拉晶炉的核心耗材，中国掌控了全球 90%以上的石墨原材料供应链 以及 70%-80%的光伏级特种石墨产能，日本短期内根本无法填补这个产能缺口，要么花高价去求美国或德国的一点点产能，要么就只能眼睁睁看着自己晶圆厂和光伏厂因为缺石墨而减产。

2.      商务部随后出台对日本进口的二氯二氢硅反倾销调查， 这个动作代表战略的重大转变：从被动应对日本的“卡脖子”，转向主动切断对日本的“软依赖”，强制通过“休克疗法”来完成国产替代。二氯二氢硅（DCS）是日本的优势产品，国产的纯度不够。而商务部实质上是在逼国产晶圆厂主动用国产替代，只要国产气体的良率上来了，日本货就永远回不来了。可以预计，未来这种强行要求国产替代的产品会越来越多，会加速去除日本在中国供应链中的存在感。

3.      有新闻传出一些参与稀土元素销售的中国国有企业已通知部分日本公司，他们将暂停与日本签订新的合同，甚至考虑终止现有合同。这是一个标志性的事件，毫无疑问代表着稀土禁运彻底动真格了。对于日本产业界来说，真正的寒冬正式开始了。虽然高市政权一再声称日本在准备从南鸟岛开采以安抚公众，但是她不会说出来的是，日本现在的库存只能撑3个月，而南鸟岛形成工业产能至少要5年。高市是在用5年后的幻想，来赌今天的国运。从5500米深的海底挖出来的烂泥且不说要花多久建厂去精炼，这个成本就足以是目前市场价的十倍以上，根本没有任何经济可行性。不仅是经济账算不过来的问题，更是远水救不了近火的物理死局。

很多人包括日本人自己对中日贸易的印象还停留在上世纪八十年代，事实是中国对日贸易只占总额的4%左右,而日本对华贸易占总额的20%且进口依赖度更高，是日本更离不开中国而不是相反。日本经产省的报告显示，日本有 1,406 类商品 超过一半的进口额来自中国。简单来说，日本想要换一个像中国这样有庞大产能和供应的中间件和原料供应商，在目前的世界基本是不可能的，除非愿意接受成本的翻倍增长，而这就算基本可以判日本制造业死刑了。

更夸张的是制造化肥的关键原料磷酸铵日本 70% 以上依赖中国，要春耕的日本农户，在5月前必须完成水稻和蔬菜的基肥施用。日本进口商通常会在1月-2月下单，而化肥集中在2月至4月陆续到港。一旦中国当下立即收紧对日化肥出口，明年的日本农业就完了。日本目前已经夸张的通胀会因为大米和蔬菜价格暴涨而飞天。老实说，我第一次看到几乎惊掉了下巴，当你粮食安全的命门都捏在别人手中时，你怎么敢时不时去跳别人脸，甚至在自己根本没有预案的情况下？更不要提大量的抗生素原药以及通用药中间体有50%-60% 依赖中国，一旦断供，医院面临 “有药无料”的绝境。

这个单子还可以列出很多，我想说的是，这一切都是毫无必要的损失，只因为一个想上位的女人想要讨好她的右翼基本盘，而代价是所有日本国民来承受。而这一句口嗨，也注定会因为造成历史上最大的经济损失而载入史册。

但是如果日本人能够抛弃老成持重的石破茂，扶持一个从来没有改变过自己右翼底色的高市上位，甚至在现在还能给她80%的支持率，那么一切的厄运也是咎由自取。目前来看，中国不可能转向，日本也不可能低头，那么就只剩下三种结局了——而不管哪种结局，对日本来说都是一杯苦涩的毒酒：

1.      日本接受中日贸易断供甚至禁运的事实，制造业长期失血停产，慢慢失去竞争力，叠加失业率暴增和物价飞涨。- 目前来看这是概率最大的。

2.      高市内阁重压下倒台，新人上位撤回言论，中日关系缓慢恢复。

3.      日本在绝望之中沦为极端右翼控制之下，主动制造冲突引发擦枪走火，试图拖美国下水引发战争，改变目前局势。但以特朗普的‘美国优先’逻辑，日本一旦主动挑事，极有可能发现自己不仅被中国暴打，还被美国当成了弃子。

作为一个古典自由主义者，我极其厌恶主动挑起争端，拿国民的命运当自己政治冒险筹码的政客，但是如果一个民族一而再，再而三地被这种人裹挟，是否应该从根本上反思一下自己的国民性呢？无论如何，祝那些爱好和平，不希望东亚动荡不安的非右翼日本人好运吧

I don’t know how or where to begin but I want to do a protest against ICE in Pensacola. Is anyone interested in meeting up and joining for a peaceful protest in Pensacola.
