Not that simple. They love carbs. Yet, not just any simple carb like starches or sugars but a specific, complex carbohydrate: cellulose, i.e. fiber, which they break down into sugars that our body can use.

So only brown rice, whole wheat bread, and the skin of potatoes. Potatoes are actually bad for your gut because they are so high in starches.

Otherwise, they love nuts and greens. Ya know, other foods that are high in fiber content.

Gastroenterology and nutritional science is complicated, yo. Who knows what could be causing it. Unfortunately getting the tests to figure it out is timely and, for some, prohibitively expensive.

K.Flay mentioned. Hell yea.

Same.

I’m almost positive that decades of poverty meals with almost zero nutritional value has decimated my gut microbiome.

Can’t disagree, as someone who suffers in the US South.

Getting any sort of help is a pipedream. Once our support systems inevitably fail us, we are basically fucked.

Right back at you.

Sorry it seems you’re just getting a lot of generic advice and the usual “bootstraps” bullshit.

Unfortunately, the reality is that for most people with autism and support needs, unless you can find a unicorn position, you’re kinda just fucked and have to settle for something that you’re not a good fit for and will be detrimental to you’re mental well-being in order to simply survive our sick society. There isn’t really any sugarcoating it.

Holy lack of media literacy, Batman!

Guess I’ll just die then. I’ve tried adapting to it and it is literally killing mentally to do so. I’m done adapting to a sick society.

The New Deal did a great job at offering concessions from the system in order to placate the working class, which was building revolutionary momentum, so that the owning class could systematically dismantle the foundations of what allowed that revolutionary effort to take place. Now they have achieved that and are dismantling those concessions.

The law never worked for the people. It is a tool of the owning class to enslave the people to their whims.

The system is inherently oppressive and must be replaced. It is not the “best we could hope for”. Fuck off with that capitalist realism bullshit. Replacing it would be leagues better than floundering at trying to reform it out of its fundamental function: reinforcing the power of owning class hierarchy over the people and the land.

We either replace the system with something fundamentally different or forever be consigned to repeat this cycle of oppression.

You’re only argument against doing so is hyperbolic fearmongering of the unknown. Saying that if we do something different it would just be worse. That’s entirely conjecture. It has just as much possibility to become even better. You give up before you even try and consign yourself to a life of oppression under a system that only exists to exploit you.

There is vocational rehab which is supposed to help but good fucking luck being approved for access to the service.

Masking is the absolute bane of my existence. I can’t bring myself to do it anymore. Burned myself out so much doing it for decades I lost myself. Had to mask at work then had to mask at home around the family. Basically never had even a moment where I could safely be myself without being chastised for doing so.

So now I just don’t. If I’m gonna be uncomfortable either way then I’m not going to waste my fucking energy catering to the sensibilities of assholes who would never do the same for me.

The problem with this is that you still believe the system is simply broken and must be fixed.

We tried reform once before, a century ago with the slow shifting from Gilded Age to the New Deal reforms, and we simply came right back around to the owning class once again treating this country as their personal playground.

The system doesn’t need reform. It fundamentally reinforces the power of the owning class and their system of private ownership over the land and its resources that rightfully belong to everyone. You cannot reform it out of that fundamental structure. It needs complete and total replacement with something fundamentally different.

The only thing this system was ever meant to control and regulate was the working class to keep us subservient to the owning class.

Okay, you’re apparently just a fucking idiot and not worth actually engaging with.

Hope you get the help you need to be a better person.

Yea, your first comment was a question which was then answered in full. Then you made some nonsense comment trying to split hairs about what counts as “fascist oppression” to which I then asked my question of “what the fuck are you even on about” that you are actively avoiding giving a straight answer to.

That fence-sitting bullshit is very poor taste and your smug attitude about being called out on it is even worse. Something tells me you’re not here in good faith.

Dude, what the fuck are you yammering about? Just go watch the fucking video and see for yourself.

Nothing is known as far as I know. It is just the fallout of a viral video where this kid tells another, who was openly advocating for ICE, that he is gonna punch them in the face, gets told “you’re gonna get in trouble”, then responds with “okay” and decks the douchebag.

And frankly, that’s all the context I believe is needed. You see someone openly supporting fascist oppression, you deck that fucker square in the jaw, consequences be damned.

It’s amazing to see people like you still have a grade school understanding of political systems while trying to act like you know what the fuck you’re talking about.

Miss me with the false dichotomy bullshit. Just because someone was against Kalama doesn’t mean they are an advocate for Trump.

Your simple minded perspective is no excuse for your lack of understanding about politics.
