“Uncontrolled spontaneous disassembly”

Please don’t. There’s plenty of perfectly good electronics that can be ripped out and re-purposed, which will just release toxic fumes if burned.

Just hose everything down with a little salt water and let chemistry work its magic.

if you’re in academia you should be able to produce a five paragraph essay.

So, K-12 is “academia” now?

Being able to produce a narrative is an essential life skill.

Lots of essential life skills are difficult for lots of people. Something we get reminded about every time it comes up by people who have no clue what they’re talking about yet see fit to tell others what they should and shouldn’t do, and how to feel about it.

The world isn’t going to cater to you

No fucking shit.

your self diagnosed executive dysfunction

I’m sorry Dr. Jackson, I’ll have to let my old neurologist, psychologist, neuropsychologist, and psychiatrist know that The Internet told me that the assessments I had done at ages 23 and 44 are all in my head.

learning to adapt is probably a useful habit.

You’re right! I’m just going to do that instead of being in constant psychological agony. Where were you all of my life? ❤️ If only I had someone talking down to me saying Just Do The Thing over and over again, from childhood onwards, life would have been so much easier.

🤡

…so you just gonna leave everyone in suspense? The internet loves armchair psychology!

Hi,

I would have failed every single one of your tests. Not because I don’t understand the material, or the English language, but because structured writing, to this day, makes me seize up. Blank space is one of my biggest triggers for executive dysfunction/PDA. Turning everything into a cookie-cutter essay is just a different form of trying to fit everyone into the same box. More selective than making everything multiple guess, but no better. I feel bad for your students.

Butt rock.

The perfect one-panel comic doesn’t exi—

Which conveniently comes from trusted brands like Pepsi and Coca-Cola!

…no, wait…

It’s not uncommon to be below 0C for days at time during the winter here, with dips to -10ish overnight. Summer regularly tops 32C. It’s 17 right now and absolutely glorious.

12C is fairly mild. 12F… yeah, you’re gonna need some layers.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on glue.

Nothing but.

Forever approaching the south bank of the Rubicon…

Small beacons of light in the flood of slop that is terminally online reactionaries.

That’s the paint, the toxins are the primer.

we’re fucking exhausted

That’s the exact reason why it’s not stopping.

Financial. Incentive. To return. The carts. 🤯

And this bread! I can smell it through the plastic!

Can confirm, had one on semi-perma-loan for a few years. Bought a secondhand Canon from a friend and never looked back.

Those things were like the perfect compromise between frisbee and throwing star.

Maybe there’s a reason turnout has been falling that goes farther than “people had a case of the stupids suddenly”.

Sorry. I asked for a ballot with a non-genocidal name on the ticket and was told I needed to leave the building.
