Look, I'm not trying to defend her. But do you think that autism goes away when it's a zoom call or something? I think that it's a perfectly fine explanation for no eye contact/rocking, as both are common symptoms of aut

Worth mentioning that they have autism, which is why they aren't making eye contact and are rocking in their chair. Although that is probably a better reason to not be on the show at all if you are trying to present yourself as a large

How exactly is using stablecoin to hold money different than holding your wealth in USD? Is it an access thing? In any case, many "stablecoins" are ponzi schemes waiting to burst. I would much rather use a government backed curren
