Yes, the thoughts of revenge on the guy who bullied me gets me through dark times too. Practice with that sling shot.

Futurama did it..

Imagine as a time traveler, going back and setting a secret society of doctors & open minded clerics to be called upon when "changeling" children were found. Then take these kids to a place where autism was understood at least better than 16th cent people.
Nice quiet houses, open farms, lots and lots if books. Everyone brought is taught to read and as much about ASD as possible to carry one the work when travellers leave. But first, travelers give maps of all great wars & natural disasters, conflicts and says "avoid these."
They end up founding some place like Maine, telling stories of horror & darkness to keep the "normies" out. In actuality, undersea bullet train to new Atlantis, cold fusion power, and lightbulb that emit anti-noise to make quiet. Still taking in special people who dont have social media accounts &making science.

As a male civil engineer working for TXDOT, I make an average of $25,000 less that any female or male with similar experience in private practice. In Maintenance, i spend my days fixing THEIR mistakes. Cant change jobs b/c of residing with parents to take care of them. Was offered $220k / year + $80k moving bonus to work in Eastern Europe two years ago. They emailed Tuesday, offer now $250k. Still cant go.

Weekend and Bernadine's.

Never underestimate the capacity of a situation to get worse. Particularly with an election year coming.

Avg world population density ~ 38 per sq mile.. thus to find 1 in 75 million requires exploring every person in ~ 2 million square miles. Area of U.S. ~ 3.7 million sq miles... so theres 1... maybe 2 people out there for me.

Omg, stop..... feels. Please stop.

This is literally making me cry right now.

I too would enjoy to shre this ride with our sovereign ambassador to the space peoples.

I make $75k a year and reside with parents b/c they cant do all construction around house. 12 years ago I made a resolution to keep them alive until my brother's youngest kid was old enough to remember our parents. He up to 4 kids now.
When youngest nephew turns 6 or my father dies, I'm out. Dont care about leaving bitchy mother to die alone; she deserves it.

Gentle humans aren't allowed to show their darkness. ... until we snap. THEN it ends up on fox news and they blame video games instead of the bastards who drove the darkness inward.

Nightmare? Imagine spending 8 hours proving design is structurally impossible then 4 weeks "checking" for alternatives to keep the "essence of appearance... and charging $80 an hour to architecture firm.

On response to your letter, we have reduced speed on the road mentioned to 25 mph, added 26 new sets of rumble strips to alert drivers approaching the area, and requested law enforcement assistance to assure compliance. Thank you for your concern of the safety of wildlife. P.S. laws regulate people... not animals.

Well, you know... Aggies, so.... I mean did you SEE what LSU did tonight? Still, any reason to tear up Northgate. All of TAMU will welcome home valiant team for the effort. ... and then drink.

Relieved to see Mexico still unaffected.

Luis ordered a 6" personal pan pizza, and Marty ordered a large, deep dish supreme. Marty is a beast, Luis is watching their figure.

GIANT METEOR!

After 25 months job hunting after my masters degree, I was literally researching how to "accidentally" safely amputate a foot so I (as a caucasian, heterosexual, non-military, native born American, with no ties to the industry) could literally get a foot in the door as a handicapped individual.
I failed to get a job at a firm where a guy I went to school with works as a project manager. He got arrested the night before our mid term project presentation (for project management) for public intoxication and urinating on a cop. His uncle owns the firm.
Good on anyone who takes a chance on someone for a hire, remember though: "trust but verify; and if they ever screw you, forgive but never forget their name.

This is how Star Trek happens. Cheap space travel, access to limitless resources makes money obsolete, gold now used for I.D. badges & computers. Science & knowledge are the only currencies. Oh, and new, original content memes.

Out of the way stick boy! I have a 20.5" neck and am desperately seeking physical contact. Worth the risk.

While inspector for TXDOT, I wrote a spreadsheet that calculated a value for spacer thickness on bridge beams. Gave it to the project contractor. Heard from him about 3 years later, just used it on latest bridge, saved 16 days on 29 span structure @ $ 60,000 per day. Yeet.

I am full time employed, dont hunt or fish, no sports affiliation, handyman everything, and ready to be your disappointment. Fingers are super strong from practicing "massage".
