What is "weird," anyway? That word has different connotations, honestly.

This. For me, all of this (well, aside from the fact that I'm white) is perfectly normal and relatable. I'll disclose that I do have autism (under the former diagnosis of "Asperger's Syndrome") and a still somewhat uncertain relationship with gender too as a result.

Why should "neurobland" (term I'm coining here based on "neurospicy" for neurodivergents) people get the monopoly on what's considered "normal"? We'd call that bigotry if it was any other mainstream group doing that to a marginalized group.

For a slightly more insider take, I've barely even used the former, but the free version of https://www.perplexity.ai/ is definitely better than free Google (low bar) due to the ads, scams, etc. on the latter these days that they don't even care about

At least they know that Europe is actually ruled in Washington

Optimistic case: We're saved by the heroic efforts of some-controversy and others. American climate change denialists become a lenin-dont-laugh in the history books

Just to ensure it doesn't make a material difference, this happens the day after Trump's death which is not attributable to climate change in any way
