He's getting paid to shift things to the people that give him money. Like he cares about national parks enough to shrink any of them on his own....but his doners do for more land space without restrictions, that he can allow permits for.

Even if the DOJ was fully staffed it'd only be his loyalists for the most part at this point. Good ol' Kash saw to that I imagine. Man the US is in bad shape when the director of the FBI looks like Aziz from Parks and Rec (no offense to him he was doing a comedy) with his wide eyed look all the time. Yes it's the drugs I know, or at least pretty damn sure about

Lots of assumptions but harder to think of better reasons. Anyone that can tickle Trump's balls (aka give him money) is good to push their agenda.

    I haven't tried the sims in ages, it was relatively fun but not overly for me. Still tried all 4 at one point well 1-4 there was another one or two I know. I can see that one being good for cheats to just build and have fun.

    That said I quite enjoy two point games of making rooms and areas for whatever their theme is for that game. Hospital, museum and the other one(s?) I forgot, been awhile now.

    I can't recall the last time I used a cheat. I so wanted a game shark growing up. Some games I will exploit systems if I get a chance. That said there is fun to putting on 'god mode' for a game like gta and going to town to just blow crap up, sometimes you just want to fool around.

    I wouldn't say I ever beat a game while cheating though, hell the list of games I've beaten is shorter than women I've dated (or at least close I don't keep track anymore). Really though growing up with undiagnosed ADD and only being allowed to rent games, possibly for the best, I finished reactively few. Oh shit the Sierra adventure games I never count those ones for some reason, they were great for learning typing.

    In the end just play how you want single player and don't cheat multiplayer is what I think works. Though I wouldn't call it beating a game if you used cheats, maybe saw ending or finished but not beaten. Though all semantics is all.

    This came out nearish to my first raving days (yes I'm old and also quite dull now heh) but I so recall it well. Nice dancy beat, chorus that sticks in your head, good melody. Can see why it was popular. Danced to it in the clubs many times. Preferable than many club songs then and pure nostalgia now.

    I'm always confused about that term cause isn't wetwork a caldestine ops mission, usually killing? So why is wetware not related?

    Still yes your brain, even if not functioning to what people call normal is your only one and if you realize that probably working better than many people's are.

    Allowing students to get a broader education sounds good to me. Even if not strictly classroom knowledge, being in a new culture would help them have a better range of experiences. Something that I think many people could use in North America, mean including me.

    I'd be jealous I couldn't do it but never to the point I wouldn't want it for newer generations.

    Mean of for ruse grants and scholarships sound good too don't get me wrong on that, helping educate is so sorely needed it seems.

    That sounds awful I'm sorry. Even were told you were that doesn't mean a stigma for your situation, it's all personal.

    I've learned to navigate life best I could, have done well enough but not as well as I probably could have. Even if you have it I've never known what any diagnosis could solve. Its sort of a thing ya just gotta go work through in your life is all. Like a dummy weight off the boat you stear against. Don't do much nautical stuff so hope that fits.

    I hope you figure out your path.

    Also never had anyone think I was autistic but never had many people around to mention otherwise, plus wasn't a big thing when I grew up so now just figured this is me. But I realize I'm not what people would assume as normal once they scratch the surface is all.

    Elites keeping things to themselves, tale as old as time. That's why they makes the lllms computationally expensive (requiring huge data centers mean but really that's just their level now). But someone will figure out a better algorithm that we'll be able to do on our phone one day. Then next generation comes out.

    So the issue isn't technology but the elites eh? All commie talk I know, can't wait for that kid in diapers now end up with the best way to make them learn with minimal requirements. Course by then the next thing will be taking off. Oh well. When you make under 100k and they can throw billions at an issue it's nearly impossible....but I can't wait for someone to open source something to make it all worthless for monetary gains while the elite are holding onto it hard. Maybe it'll happen maybe not oh well.

    Yup been there did that. Like I feel like I'm herding cats as a programmer and my boss has no clue. Wait I think that's exactly it. No one else has a technical side and I gotta figure out the programming side from bad specs.

    As bad as that may be, a phone call with a random person feels way worse so I put up with the rest. I am not a people person (cue up office space heh). I was so relieved when I found out we didn't need the 1hr conference call cause we were certified on other APIs....also what? Maybe make sure the companies work for all your APIs but no phone call for me thankfully I was dreading that since the first email)

    I weighed the diagnosis vs all the appointments and sort of figured why bother? What does it change? I'm still me, and have figured out how to navigate my life. While I know that won't work for everyone I was near 30 when I decided that. Also almost 50 now so not much material or awareness about it when I was much younger or known why I didn't quite fit in.

    Perhaps I'm not on the spectrum, but I sure tick a lot of boxes. I'm actually relatively comfortable with me now. Do I wish I could be more usual? Yeah of course but gotta play the hand you're dealt.
