Please know that I'm not writing this to be deliberately inflammatory or provocative, or to have a go at anyone here, but I just feel so isolated as an Autistic woman. Most other Autistic people I've engaged with are men, and seem to have quite a different presentation and outlook on life to me. They are often very blunt, whereas I'm not. When I get emotional, they don't seem to understand - I've been accused of 'emotionally exploding', for example, simply for expressing that I felt uncomfortable with a conversation. It's more than that, though, to be honest I'm finding it quite hard to explain in logical terms...I just don't feel I fit in in the Autism world or the neurotypical world, and I'm wondering if this is because I'm female. Does anyone else feel this way?
The world is a man's world tbh...They've always been in charge It's tiring...
I think we should hand over control to the women, can't be any worse than this surely
Max said:I think we should hand over control to the women
Absolutely not.
I'm only interested in a person's competence and ability to do a job - just handing things to people because of their gender is crazy.

It is not so much that the various forms of martial arts involve training their new disciples very harshly ~ but more that the wrathful force of externalising weakness is with discipline of practice balanced out by the peaceful and gentle power of internalising strength.
Caelus said:as for any other karate black belt, yeah karate has a problem which makes it usually called a mcdojo in that they seem to pump out black belts and yet its not really up to any standard, which then gives us the situation of roid head adult MMA types that spend more time pumping iron in the gym challenging so called black belts who got a free black belt like they got it from a happy meal with no scrutiny and these MMA types usually pick and find them to slander all traditional martial arts. to me to be awarded black belt, you must be able to defend yourself from any threat, you must be a finished product.... a kid will never be a finished product.... infact the correct ideology is that you are never a finished product and that you can always improve, and thus really when thinking of it ideologically a person must never be given the top grade ever realistically. but anyone even coming close to the top grade, they need to demonstrate that they can skulpt their body to a form in which they can defend themselves or take combative action, this means fitness and skulpting your body to be fighting fit is a massive part of martial arts, and kids dont and cant have that as they are not developed bodily enough. its the one thing MMA types take advantage of to slander the traditional martial arts world. it can be fixed if we admitted kids cant be fully taught. hell even their moves in that kata had no intent, had no force or momentum as if they are not imaging their moves being enough to cause harm to a imaginary opponent infront of them.
The belts are not merely qualifications but indicators of what has been learnt and what can be referred to in the disciple's practice; thus a white belt is a novice as can be asked about the difficulty of taking on the disciplines ~ and eventually a black belt as indicates competence of the bodily forms, as can be a teacher up to black belt and eventually a master who demonstrates the competency of the mind involving the philosophy and wisdom and the compassion of love in their life and ways.
The whole point though of learning the forms without using intent or force to harm anyone ~ is that the moves piece together depending upon the movements of the individual opponent or opponents, who to whatever extent provide the force of their attack to be used against them.
Caelus said:but chinese do teach them right, as the chinese teach them full time fitness to make them fighting fit to the point it would be called child abuse in the west and wouldnt be allowed, not to mention they pretty much take the kid full time and have daily regime for them, meaning again the west allow that as we enforce a different lifestyle of which forces the kids by law into normal schools. so depends where from... from the west, kids martial arts are money making scams and even the belts they are not awards, they actually charge them for the belts and it gets higher with each grade lol total scam.
There are good and bad teachers out there and that is so no-matter what country they happen to come from ~ or what ethnicity they happen to be, and people can apply themselves through the grading systems or not if they so choose ~ whether that be more part-time or more full-time.
But it is giving them focus, Caelus, and a healthy hobby. That's a noble endeavour, surely?

Caelus said:ah i dont see much income potential in martial arts unless you perhaps teach kids classes which by the way kids classes are all a scam, you cannot teach kids at all, all you can do is farm them for money, they dont have the ability to even move their hands correctly in the correct shapes and patterns no matter how much you show them and dont seem to have very good muscle memory.
Yet this demonstration is no scam:
And this video shows the type of correct form and muscle memory also possible:

Find your passion, Caelus. Something you love doing. And make that your destination. Maybe martial arts? Fitness? Then work out a career path (or volunteer path) for that journey.
i learn more myself right now tbh doing whatever i do online gets me more knowledge than college or high school could ever could instill....although its probably a even tie with primary school as that was pretty good quality and they knew how to teach.but yeah my knowledge is seen as worthless because it doesnt have a bureaucratic paper grade, despite being better knowledge than that of college can pass on to their bureaucratic paper signing "students"
Caelus said:but you dont learn anything at all
Why did you do it if you weren't learning anything? You seem to be complacent in your own life and not taking charge of it - you only get one go at life.
yeah i went to college one time but i dont consider it learning.... you just signed papers to say the tutor went through that section, and its just beaurocratic to sign papers to get your grade but you dont learn anything at all lol the education system is crap, it doesnt teach, its just beaurocracy. here sign these papers and we will give you a paper that you can use to brag and claim your smart, when you havent learned anything at all to get that paper and your no smarter than you was before you signed for that qualification. the entire system is a joke and no wonder society is going down hill and theres clueless people everywhere in places they shouldnt be.
Yeah, but you're in your thirties now, Caelus. You've had years and years to put things right or restart your education. And you still have time to start. There are thousands of opportunities out in the world if you have a passion. You can't keep looking back on your secondary school experience and complaining.
Blue said:HS2 is not a necessary needed peice of infrastructure
The idea is that it frees up the other tracks to separate the high-speed non-stop stuff from the slower stuff like local trains and freight to be able to tighten up the timetables - no need to leave huge holes for an express to burn up the tracks and clearing all the slower stuff out of its way.
The *should* benefit all the commuters and make space for more train density.
I feel sorry for you - you're clearly very bright and it's a shame you had opportunities taken from you.
The only way to get on in places like that is to get out.
It's annoying when parents don't help their children - mine were useless - I was just left to get on with it - I went to school with Vinnie Jones. Some lovely kids there.
they pulled me down too lol the little shits! i did very well in primary school and was very smart and gifted, i got high sats scores and then high school comes and the chavs dragged me down to the bottom and made school unbearable and impossible to learn there.
Caelus said:no one could control public school classes full of unruly chavs
And that's exactly why they stay at the bottom - like a bucket of crabs pulling each other down.
Nope - not true. The whole point of places like Eton (and Sandhurst) is to know people - to make connections with people who may be leaders of other countries some day - know your enemy - and who is trustworthy and who is to be wary of. And to learn a common set of values to be able to deal in business. There's nothing stopping poor people joining in - ALL private schools offer grants and bursaries for the able students without the money. But by being 'the right stuff' means you'll get tarred with the same 'posh boy' labels. There's literally no pleasing the working class.
Local authorities do not under-fund schools - the problem is how the money is spent. I was interviewed to be a school business manager for a large secondary school - I went to two interviews / tours - the waste is unbelievable and built-in to such an extent that a radical shake-up is required - but the unions make that impossible. Same with the NHS - try doing any improvement projects - no chance.
yeah public schools are kinda crap....you know in my school we had this maths teacher who didnt teach us anything at all... he just read his own book and told the class if another teacher comes in pretend your doing some work...we did have a teacher from london once who tried to teach, he was very posh and strict, but our class was full of bad people and they all tossed thick text books at him, no one could control public school classes full of unruly chavs.. not even a posh london science teacher lol
You realise that what is taught in a public school is a fraction of private school teach their students. they are taught how to get into position of power and how to manipulate the system to benefit them. Every eton graduate has purposely underfunded public schools to give them an edge.
Politic should not be viewed as a business. a lot of infrastructure was needed after the major wars. the infrastructure projects were destroyed or miss managed when the government change parties. a lot of the old labour infrastructure is being resurrected like tramlines in major cities.
HS2 is not a necessary needed peice of infrastructure but a poorly managed and executed project that fails to take into account modernisation of technology in the near future and enables the wealthy to travel from london to Birmingham & Edinburgh which is going to have a negative effect on the cities' poorest.
Our government when bailing out the majority of large business is halting progress of smaller more independent businesses being created and stalling the inevitable lining the pocket of the rich and not saving jobs.
to be fair, no one from a rich fancy school is qualified to lead the majority lola leader should be one of the people..... and not even corbyn was that, as corbyn was also a rich fancy boy with a privileged life who didnt know anything what our lives were like. we have a society in which the common man can never get anywhere in politics sadly. and if the common man ever does get into politics they will be called racist and sexist and all the other ist words by the political elite, and they wont have any defence against it for the true common man would be one who doesnt give a toss about words and would use any word they can easily claim any hate crime against. our political system is pretty useless at this point and could do with gutting. hell look at the house of lords, unelected people with political power, how do you get position in house of lords? you get one as a social gift when you become a famous enough celebrity.
None of that is accurate.
You seem to be looking at politics from the bottom up - but imagine if you were in power looking downwards - you're working at a high-level - the little details are dealt with by local authorities - the government is all about the broad brush - like being a CEO of a big business - you're actually in hard competition with every other country to get investment money.
People tend to think that a government is only looking at their own country - it's a hard world out there - you're in competition with countries like China or the US or Russia - all have their secret services spying and paying for pressure groups to destabilise the other countries' governments if they can benefit from a currency falling or businesses going elsewhere.
Infrastructure is due to the Labour party setting a crazy development policy after WW2 where the new housing estates built then are collapsing - and the ever-expanding development means there's not enough money to maintain liabilities. HS2 is part of the old 10T Trans-European rail network - the contracts are cast iron and all the brown envelopes have been sent - no going back.
