This is how I accidentally named one guy “ThisGuy” and the other, “Thatguy.”

On the plus side, Jim Bob the bridge builder is a long term friend I keep looking up when we visit town.

I play this on my android phone. It’s free, ad-free, and you can pay to support.

The updates have been awesome. It’s extremely difficult, and it’s not unusual to die a buncha times before your first success.

Cows make best friends. You probably saw a cow who just daw her beat friend die.

Bender had his gender bent twice! Once when he had a sex change operation and became Coilette to participate in the robot Olympics, and later when the Borax Kid and the Rock Alien changed the gender of everyone on the Planet Express.

Both episodes are imperfect through today’s lens but I actually did enjoy the Coilette episode.

“You’re making us look bad in front of the other genders!” And “Do you promise to get out of my gender and stay out?”

Dammit.

Back to contacts I guess.

The Brunch Amendment of 2008 lists all the people welcome to brunch and explicitly states that allies are allowed.

I call bullshit.

I do not see brunch anywhere on that list.

Aldi has been doing it forever. But it doesn’t change based on surge pricing. What an evil idea…

The 67-year-old woman who started kicking him, then took off a shoe to beat him with… I want to be her when I grow up.

Obviously that’s the case. I didn’t make a statement contrary to it. My point was “even if it’s not guaranteed, some is better than none,” not, “be happy to get anything at all.”

We should be pissed we don’t have guaranteed access to the meds that make us function! It’s our entire lives in jeopardy! But the person I’m replying to doesn’t yet know that they can have at least some help, and that was the point I was making.

If this seems aggressive it’s because I’m constantly being attacked on the internet for saying something I didn’t say.

I mean… it doesn’t need time to build in your system. ADHD meds work from after you take them until they wear off (the extended release is about 7 and a half hours for me) so even if you can only get them sporadically, some help is better than none.

Same.

I’m not even lonely!

I promise many of us are not.

Mine has a setting where if a number calls you once, it blocks. If it calls you a second time, it goes through. And it works! I use it all the time.

I was thinking rabies.

A person who looks wrong.

I want to say (cuz I’ve said it a million times) that it can seem like occurrences are going up when really, people like me never got help. I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 34 and that was while getting treatment for depression!

There’s a lot more cases like mine than we know about, so even if we are only catching up to the “normal” number of neurologically atypical people, it’s going to seem like we are gaining more cases.

My now recoils in horror.

I agree they’re an asshole. But I do want to say I’ve been vegan off and on for… Jesus 17 years. Anyway, there’s this thing I noticed in some members of the community (not that guy) where their experience is so insular that they think everyone in the world knew 20 years ago that factory farming was environmentally disastrous but they just ignored it.

So they’re so burnt out on it that they become these crazy screaming judgey assholes. Then, add to that, that there really are the most remarkably assholish omnivores at almost every social event involving food. I was 22, and I got cornered at a work pot luck when a man found out I was vegan (I never ever mentioned it, I brought food! But someone finally dragged it out of me when I had to explain I couldn’t try their fried chicken) and he spent forteen minutes lecturing me on how not eating meat was an “insult to God” and how he’d eat twice as many animals because I was there.

…I was young and used to be too polite to get away from assholes like that. I’m better now.

My point here is, spending years and years of that makes you angry and bitter if you let it, especially if you’re a self-important jackass with a savior complex.

Same witch that did Beast’s curse is the one who saved Gaston.

You have a year to prove you’re not a piece of shit or you die.

She doubles as a quest giver. “Here’s a couple quests. Pick one and do it. Every time you help someone you prove you’re a little less awful, and every time you ask me if you’ve done enough to be saved, you lose a few points of redemption credit, so don’t ask me if you’ve been good enough to not die. Get to cracking on these heroic deeds, chop chop.”

Make a few of the tasks morally complicated.

Make all of them take measurable time. Sure, rounding up sheep for the farmer isn’t too dangerous, but it’ll take you a while and it’s not as heroic as fighting that necromancer… which task do you take?

Well since I’m going from professional caregiver into a medical degree, my bedside manner will continue to involve my folksy southern style of speech.

So I’m fixin to go to school. Means “going to.”
