...Except that they aren't even remotely the same.

Vigilantism results in lynchings. That's the end result.

If that's your dream, I won't stop you.

But there are groups that do hikes together. And typically murderers aren't interested in audience participation.

One of the parts I was thinking of specifically revolved around sexual politics in 2nd wave feminism.

The basic idea was that consent to sex can only happen between equals; if one party has a higher social status than the other, then sex is coercive. 2nd wave feminism says that women always occupy a lower social status than men, and therefore sex can never be consensual, e.g., all sex is rape (except gay or lesbian sex, I guess?, but then there's still relative social status between the participants to consider...). That discounts any agency for an individual person though; it says that women can't freely consent.

Backlash against that line of thought is part of what drove the 3rd wave of feminism.

Did you fail to read what I said? Or do you not know what cognitive empathy is? Because an inability to read emotion and social cues is one of the basic diagnostic criteria for being on the autism spectrum. And that, by the way, includes NT people "masking" their emotions, using sarcasm, etc. A failure to understand those things IS a lack of cognitive empathy.

Speeding.

I'm usually late anyways.

Reason alone rarely if ever supports only one side or the other. You choose how you are weighting things; that's an emotional response, not a logical one.

Autistic people do have significantly reduced cognitive empathy. That's literally part of being on the spectrum. Some will have better cognitive empathy than others. If a person is not capable of reading the emotion that an NT is projecting, then their reactions are going to appear to lack affective empathy as well.

The problem with feminism is that there are multiple waves, and there are fringe ideas that are still 'feminist'. Some of the well=-knon feminist theorists in the 2nd wave came up with some really crazy ideas. Some of that is still around.

I think that all my scores are up on Practiscore; I don't usually bother checking, since I have a pretty good idea of how well I'm doing when I'm there.

I haven't heard anything in particular about Kentucky Ballistics. His content doesn't interest me, but I haven't heard of anything objectionable. Demo Ranch (Matt?) is friends with a whoooooooooole lot of very questionable people. It seems to mostly stay out of his videos though.

Meltdowns and being verbal (lemm.ee)
 

I'm a grown-ass adult, and was diagnosed as being on the spectrum quite late; Aspergers wasn't even a valid diagnosis until after I had graduated from high school.

So, haven't really had a lot of support.

Just wanted to check in with other people - what does a meltdown mean for you, in terms of communicating? When I'm feeling emotionally overwhelmed, I have words in my head, but I can get them out of my mouth. If I try to write things down, I either have the same block, or I'll write, erase, re-write, erase again, and repeat tens of times until I give up.

BSOD kernel_security_check_failure on graphic card driver installation (lemm.ee)
 

Win 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, 10.0.26100, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D processor, 64gb RAM, ASUS ProArt X670E-Creator mboard, AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card.

All other drivers except the graphics card driver be up-to-date and working correctly; they have been updated directly from the manufacturer sites.

Every time I try to install the most recent graphics drivers (amd-software-adrenalin-edition-24.7.1-minimalsetup-240718_web), I get about 48% of the way through the installation, and then get a BSOD, with the stop code KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. I've already tried using the AMD removal tool, rebooting in a clean environment and safe mode to reinstall, and had the same issue. Their driver installation tool gives me the option of installing PRO 24.Q2 (which appears to be for their PRO W and PRO WX series of graphics cards, rather than the RX 7000 series; it's listed as a downgrade), but gives me a 195 error when I try. I've just sent the DxDiag.txt and MSinfo32.nfo to AMD tech support.

Since I'm not running games yet, this isn't impeding much of anything. However, I am having issues with my Meta Quest 3--specifically the link software--but I don't believe that those are directly related; I think that's a problem with my home network. The software is telling me that my system doesn't meet minimum spec though, which is not good.

Any ideas?

Repair or replace? (lemm.ee)
 

This is being cross-posted for as much feedback as I can get.

My '12 Honda CBR600RR is nearing the end of it's life at 82,000 miles; there's minor visible scoring in the nikasil plating in the cylinders, and that's only going to get worse.

I can get the cylinders replated--assuming that the scoring is no worse than I think it is--for about $800 + the cost of shipping the block, but that would require being able to entirely rebuild the engine on my own. I'd probably want to also regrind the valve seats, replace the valves, piston heads, and def. piston rings if I did that. I've already got the cylinder head off because the valves weren't holding pressure.

I can get a replacement engine for around $1500-2500. I can replace an engine on my own, although it's a pain in the ass.

Or, I can get a new bike. But I'm not sure what makes and models for my riding style will have any better longevity than my CBR600RR has had.

My current short-list is a crashed '07- '12 CBR600RR (because I can easily swap necessary parts/bodywork, etc.), or a Yamaha YZF R6, Suzuki GSX R750, or Triumph Speed Triple 1050 (which is prone to electrical issues, and also needs some creative headlight adjustment to work with clip-on bars). Does anyone have experience with the YZF R6, GSX R750, or Speed Triple? Any issues to watch out for that might prevent any of them from making it to 100k miles without major mechanical work?
