You are a pathetic little man.

ITT: Aspie engineers defend egos.

You're just another censoring gatekeeper.

Not to mention the fact that Twitter will censor views that it does not agree with. Don't support companies that engage in censorship. There's already an alternative available, and…

As mentioned in this thread, the temptation to ask "what if?" is huge, and we all have built-in cognitive strategies for dealing with it. If this ability didn't exist, coping with …
