You can also search for "starter packs" of helpful people to follow in whatever you are interested in, e.g., history, cooking, overthrowing the government, etc.

No, but I have a close relation who is both on the spectrum and in therapy who was told this. In the distant past I did have a background in medical research, so I went to PubMed and looked it up for them to confirm.

For extra context, various therapeutic methods do not work as well on neurodivergent people, especially people on the spectrum. CBT, one of the main go-to (adjunctive at least) therapies for example, is nearly useless for most folks on the spectrum.

So it may be that their therapists discovered they were not equipped to help op with their issue(s).

Great. Now how do I get them to delete my data and account?

I understand your sentiment internet friend. It made me insane too (and I have dual citizenship and have lived outside the States for a very long time).

But with the recent SCOTUS rulings + the planning that went into P25, this time is truly, uniquely different. If Trump wins this time, it is game over for any future ways to save democracy and anyone but cis, white, het Xian men and the women who remain subservient to them. There will be no "close your eyes and think of England" for four years then back to normal. There will be no way back to normal for generations.

So my thought is that anything, anything that gets the attention of even one more prospective Dem voter is ok.

You have to buy the book dummy - it's always a grift inside a grift. Here, spend some coin: https://www.project2025.org/policy/

I have not bought the book. Many, many scholars have. I suppose they are all lying though, you know, deep state this that or something?

Haven't been there in a decade despite having been there for a decade and helping many real people in real life from there, and I'd have to say: depends on who the target of the violence is and whether or not it's phased in the subjunctive mood.

Well you have just described Metafilter. I'm a liberal a lefty as can be, and eventually even I got tired of the drama and obvious virtue signaling. And at the end of the day, drama and less-than-appropriate virtue signaling were what the mods wanted.

I too am skeptical, but there have been so many of these the last few days... is it just a new meme?

Not OP but can I just comment that there are some high-quality answers here, good discussion. Thanks!

 

I am an Xer who manages a small but crucial team at my workplace (in an EU country). I had a lady resign last week, and I have another who may be about to resign or I may have to let go due to low engagement. They are both Gen Z. Today it hit me: the five years I've been managing this department, the only people I've lost have been from Gen Z. Clearly I do not know how to manage Gen Z so that they are happy working here. What can I do? I want them to be as happy as my Millennial team members. One detail that might matter is that my team is spread over three European cities.

Happy to provide any clarification if anyone wants it.

Edit. Thanks for all the answers even if a few of them are difficult to hear (and a few were oddly angry?) This has been very helpful for me, much more so than it probably would have been at the Old Place.

Also the second lady I mentioned who might quit or I might have to let go? She quit the day after I posted this giving a week's notice yesterday. My team is fully supportive, but it's going to be a rough couple of months.
