They'll do fuck all with my money because I'll be spending as little as fucking possible for the foreseeable future. Learning to sew to fix holes in old clothes instead of buying new ones, taking public transit a lot more (deeply discounted on account of my autism!), getting back into cooking, donating time in my community for the feel good chemicals instead of buying whatzits, and still giving the middle finger to winter peer family pressure gift giving holidays.

Not to discount your struggles or anything, but...just so you know...IQ tests are biased against neurodivergent people. I was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1) last summer, and one of the tests in the battery they administered to me was an IQ test (WAIS).

About a month after the tests, I went back to get my results. The doctor went into lots of details, but a couple thay stood out were that I had autism and that they clocked my IQ at about 124. The IQ score shocked me as I was a member of American Mensa after scoring well into the 99th percentile on both of their intelligence tests. The doctor clarified that I shouldn't hold any stock in IQ tests as an autistic person because they aren't well designed for neurodivergent people since our strengths aren't usually as balanced as they are for neurotypical people.

I thought I'd mention this since you have ADHD!

The Russians were pissed when all of their soldiers died and only SG-1 made it out alive.

Canadian actor Michael Shanks.

Oh absolutely. I see the limited edition ones at cons and can only think of the exclusive Beanie Babies that people used to go nuts over. Like who gives a fuck srsly.

A student gifted me a Funko Pop at the end of the last school year. She designed it on their website to look like me, holding a game controller and complete with my signature long hair and fun button-up shirt. I thought that was a very cool gift. 🙂

So it is! And Jonathan Brandis on the right...I rember him from that awful Rodney Dangerfield movie Ladybugs. Brandis died not long after.

How will the uberwealthy not feel the effects of capitalism crumbling and money becoming worthless?

To be perfectly honest, I hope they tank the entire country and western civilization by extension. I know, I know...the most oppressed among us will suffer the most. Like, I get it.

But the fall of capitalism has been in the fucking mail for a few decades now, and I need it to hurry up and happen. My autism leads me to get irrationally anxious and upset when natural consequences don't ensue, and everything still not having come crashing down around us when it is what this country deserves is REALLY fucking with my head.

7-11 Cheeseburger Bite. Hamburger in the shape of a hot dog, with nacho cheese injected into the middle. Put it on a hot dog bun, and top it with their free chili and nacho cheese. Most 7-11s don't carry them any more, so when I find one that does, I immediately buy two and them shotgun them in my car in the parking lot.

Also, some dude said that in the northeast US they call them "hamdogs".

I don't see MAGA people as the enemy because they want to pay less in taxes. I see them as the enemy because they don't think my kids should exist in society and are actively passing legislation to make it so.

Delete this shit take.

I thought the woman inside was the school secretary. But I noticed the ribbon in the girls hair unfurled, a bit of schmutz on her knees, and the striations of the tiles.

You'd put a Choco Taco in your choco taco? Fierce.

This is the correct answer. The first time it cramped, my wife was begging me to stand on it as I massaged it while screaming in agony. The second time it happened she wasn't home, so I decided to just try what she had told me to do and poof the pain disappeared.

Neither of my two kids wants kids (one is ace/aro), so it ends with me. And if I'd had been more tuned in politically in 2006 and had thought about it for half a tick, I don't know that I would have chosen to have kids in the first place.

Get fucked, traitor. 🖕

I once had three students in one class who were all named José. For the purpose of avoiding confusion, I asked if it would be alright if I called them Hose-A, Hose-B, and Hose-C and they all loved the idea.

This is a true story. The day they were all absent and I got to ask the class "Where my Hoses at?" was a red letter day in my life.

Awesome. Not having an issue with Lifelock or the fact that they let me know this. The issue is with a pharmacy needing to verify my identity so that I can get my acid reflux meds.

Sorry, my human, but naw...this has never been necessary in the history of humanity. Kroger doesn't need to make sure I'm me. The doctor says fill the scrip, you fill it.
