Hm..., I was under the impression cavalry were somewhat outdated by the time the SS had their heyday. Gallows humor aside, Toady has been banged up once, and nicked a considerable number of times, all of the latter occurrences were during his youth, save for the trumped up raids that followed the getting banged up.
All but one of those being fishing expeditions on the same grounds and the other being because 'we wanted to find out if you were growing any weed on the premises', another fishing expedition, although none of the search warrants actually used, to Toady's recollection, the phrase 'fishing expedition' (although one of them DID have the temerity to list a crime which does not actually exist in any UK statute book as grounds for arrest and holding all cunting day in the nick and deny him his rx meds. Actually he is lucky that he has the sense not to take either chlormethiazole, nitrazepam, loprazolam or pregabalin that often, being on those four, plus strong opioids and an alpha2 adrenoreceptor agonist,
Chances are he would have at best had a seizure, or at worst stroked and potentially existed the remainder of his remaining lifespan physically crippled, brain damaged and dependent on others, negating completely, the possibility of finishing the job they started in a manner that stood a damn good chance of delivering in-flight meals consisting of a main course of still-smoking smoky bacon with a starter of vegetable/amphibian deity to the nearest passing jumbo jet, delicately seasoned with a thermobaric charge of a size sufficient to level a medium-size third world pesthole, a whole bunch of dog-shit-smeared rusty screws, a wee garnish of broken glass and a couple of gallons of lewisite/DMSO/phosgene oxime/a further portion of canine ordure for dessert.
This guy? got nicked once, and from the article its quite clear that he is (possibly now more accurate to use the past tense) substantially naiive in terms of competency when it comes to anticipating the reactions of other people and the filth. I really do hate to think what the experience was like for him, and what marks may have been left behind
As for lacking eye contact, I was under the impression that it was the case that people telling pork pies actually made more eye contact and/or held it for longer because of exactly that widely held belief. I am, however, unsure of the veracity of that reference. I would expect that your average pig (and lets face it, is there any other variety? an extraordinary one would potentially qualify as an albeit stupid, uncivilized, power hungry, jackbooted, oxygen-embezzling homokaryon mother of a syphilitic ten-penny gutter minge*)
*I wouldn't deign to piss the second-hand urine of a HIV-infected tramp over the term 'human being' in such a manner as to make the comparison 'twixt the two.
From the experiences of other auties, and of aspies who live in the states, it sometimes comes across almost as if being on the spectrum were in and of itself a criminal 'act'
Always struck me and toady as somewhat odd and at times amusing the way people describe us as 'lacking' eye contact, as it implies a loss of something of value we should have,yet do not as opposed to something neurotypicals seem to need as either an interpersonal reinforcer or took for aiding in the enforcement of a greater degree of physical or social power over one of lesser such standing.
If I want someone to know I am talking to them, I see no need to make eye contact, I simply address them by name to begin with, or when the topic of a group conversation in mid-flow changes/a reply could be to an ambiguous recipient but is intended for only one. On the off chance I ever come to know somebody deaf who couldn't see me, then its not much different, I would simply tap them on their shoulder to gain attention then continue a conversation on in sign.
I say amusing...I guess I should really say, find it amusing said of me personally because I find the idea completely rediculous, when said of others, then not so, as there are plenty of cases where not making eye contact is one of the things used to justify heaping shit onto people on the spectrum, either by general attitudes of some people, or worse (usually) as one more criterion on some checklist of signs to bee ticked off before some more antipsychotic scripts can be sold and more money made.
Personally I find it shocking that D2 antagonists are even licensed for autism 'treatment', if a kid/adult that isn't able to communicate well is kicking up a stink, it isn't for the fuck of it, and administering a chemical straitjacket is only going to result in one thing-the problem causing the spesh person to loose havoc stays there being just as much of a problem, only the person experiencing the discomfort/frustration/anger is forced to shut up complaining about it for the convenience of others.
(I am not accusing you of being prejudiced or any slight at all goldmember btw, merely going on a slight tangent)
As for the latter use...I don't beat the shite out of people without having a decent reason but that doesn't particularly require the use of eye contact (outside the context of a couple of fingers contacting sharply in the eyes
)
\/ Been doing several other things while typing this post, so didn't see everlastingreign's last post, to which I will respond.
Not much to say to it, other than don't fucking talk down to me as though I was an uppity spacker (term used for sarcasm/irony, its certainly not one I condone the use of), and it is completely irrelevant weather or not there is a single person posting here who thinks that is tsathoggua. What IS relevant, is that a full name of a publicly known person just got connected to a poster who, if all his posts on this forum were handed over to the filth, especially with the 'war on drugs' being waged against the american people, someone with a record, you think the pork are going to give a tinkers toss weather or not he is, or is not tsathoggua?
Are they fuck. To be honest, I'm actually more fucked off that you linked him with tsathoggua's online activities, rather than posted something that were it correct, could track straight to tsathoggua. Nothing the yank filth can do to a brit citizen on the basis of a hearsay statement, but I bet its considered more than enough for US narco squad to make up whatever heap of bollocks they feel most likely to induce the required degree of compliance to the judge when they apply for a warrant to smash down doors.
Or is a warrant even required these days over there....
If you have any decency, take that link down. I've already reported the post once, if you don't edit it or remove it, I will report it again to ask that someone does it for you.
Oh, and I am perfectly normal, not that it matters a fuck to me weather or not I am considered normal. Normality very often boils down to nothing more than a question of numbers. And I could say the exact same to you 'I know its tough being NT', I wouldn't be the only one to think so, you NTs often miss so much fine detail, you can't stim, usually lack hyperfocus, I could go on, but hopefully it would be, ideally having made my point, superfluous.
Some of us have more difficulties than others, I am one who faces less than some, I speak perfectly fluently and can speak in ASL sign in addition to that, and I have relatively few insurmountable sensory issues. I do have some, but not, in general, ones that cannot be overcome or bypassed For instance, photosensitivity, so I wear dark shades much of the time and have a dimmer switch fitted to control the light in my bedroom, the only room in the house that doesn't have one of those vile energy-saver bulbs as they don't work with dimmer switches. And I can't eat vegetables. Solution being I don't eat any and pick them out of food that already has any in it.
The main thing that does cause me the worst difficulty is physical overstimulation, that actually is quite a bastard to have to deal with, especially when it comes to sleeping. That is dealt with successfully though by daily use of meds that block noradrenaline release, and by use of either chlormethiazole, loprazolam or nitrazepam as/if needed as appropriate.
You might just learn something though, from the fact that a great many of us who are judged lower functioning that have a means to communicate would have nothing to do with a 'cure' (disregarding entirely that necessarily meaning the stripping of a person from their identity and personality, and being achievable only by abortion/euthanasia), they wouldn't change who they are or how they are despite the difficulties some of us face.
Also, a lot of disability is caused by other people making something that doesn't bother the person themselves at all. In the case of autistic/aspergian people, for instance, there are kids that get forced to do 'therapy' aimed often at 'helping' them stop stimming, something perfectly natural to us, which can only result in harm if forcibly stopped.
