Both can be true: Russia can lack numbers to make a strategic breakthrough, and Ukraine can simultaneously not be able to field enough materiel to be able to recapture their losses.

IMO the most likely outcome is a stalemate that turns into de jure conquest of the territory Russia has captured and it turns into a cold (or at least cooler) war.

I’ve got a pair of Loops and they’re absolutely game changing for me. I never realised how draining / overstimulating it was for me to go to shopping centres and restaurants until I suddenly didn’t have to deal with a barrage of noise.

I personally have the Loop Quiet, and can’t recommend them enough.

It’s funny, I’ve gotten so many questions from colleagues and friends about them at events over the last six months, and even though they’re (to my knowledge) allistic every single person has thought they’re a brilliant idea. I know I’ve “sold” at least 3 pairs out of half a dozen conversations about them.

Amongst other things for different kinds of stimulation, I am occasionally able to get my wife to do tippy taps when I can make her delightfully surprised, and it’s the most adorable thing ever.

I read that the other day, and it’s such bullshit. All that should matter is that you can pass the test.

My wife has been officially diagnosed for about 18 months now, and while we’ve talked about getting me formally diagnosed we’ve now decided there’s no upside to me getting it since I pass as NT there’s so much stigma to deal with that it’s just not worth it.

Show her this meme and explain that you’re doing it to show that you understand and emphasis with what she is saying.

Communication is key in a healthy relationship.
