@knowmadd if you walk, you are, in fact, carrying heavy equipment: the car.

@thechris @stevenrosenthal right, but everyone else who suffers from incontinence that sees you laughing at trump because of that? sees you are laughing at them, too.

@stevenrosenthal i don't want to be in the position of defending trump, but isn't this a bit ablist? lots of folks are incontinent, especially older folks. it's not a sign he's evil or a bad president (although he is).

@thatfrisiangirlish @KatyElphinstone good point, i think.

@HighlandLawyer @KatyElphinstone right!

@KatyElphinstone i'm not sure i'm even subverting it (although i'll take that as a compliment!); it's just the standard autistic "okay, what do they *mean* by that? because it's not clear at all…"

@KatyElphinstone i'm going to assert my bias here and say that, as allistics, they assumed the meaning of "blame" they intended was the only one in play. "of *course* everyone will understand what we mean"…

@KatyElphinstone i think the only differences i would have with you are semantic. in fact the whole problem seems to be one of semantics: what does "blame" mean?

Yes, Janet is "to blame"; her advice directly lead to a death. That doesn't mean that she should be punished! that's a whole other question!

i think the questioners are failing to recognise that "blame" has a variety of different meanings here — as many autists would have happilly pointed out to them…

@0xabad1dea you'll probably find her next time you brush

@jackeric @EUCommission that's kind of good to know they do that, i think?

@EUCommission surprisingly this also works in the UK?

@astrid @scream

@Richard_Littler there have been studies that conclude it does not. or: not much.

@christineburns i could believe 'director of "communications" '

@philcowans @suetanvil um, no. just because we do it that way *now*, does not mean it's the only way.

@LaChasseuse oh, well said.
