I bought a keyboard from ThinkGeek that had an LED that would hit me right in the eye. A little piece of tape and that keyboard served me well for years.

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

The term has been around meaning a fool or idiot. Also the fish. The Beastie Boys were the first to use it to refer to the haircut.

The term mullet was coined by the Beastie Boys in 1994

One of my favorite past times at places like this is watching people almost get hit by cars not realizing these are active roads. I’ve seen it there and at Dealey Plaza.

I have misophonia, so that is basically hell to me

I wish I could believe that, but every time an area turn blue all they do is redraw the maps. Texas district 26 and 13 are perfect example of this. 13 was solid red going across north Texas and the panhandle. District 26 was turning more and more blue. So, they took the city of Denton and moved it into district 13. Denton is home to a liberal art college, so they watered it down by putting it in a district that is over 350 miles across, and filled with rural red voters. Meanwhile the extended district 26 north and west to include more red voters.

Edit: This is 26 before the redrew it

Sad fact, most major cities in Texas are blue. Even Fort Worth has been going more blue. It the gerrymandering and rural areas keeping it red.

But 85% audience score. Critics seems to love to hate on those types of teen movies. Can’t Hardly Wait has 43%.

I still quote that movie to this day. Especially if I eat Popeyes Chicken

The cowards removed the ability to recommend an improvement to the map of you click on it.

I have bookshelves full of Superman comics, graphic novels, books, basically anything in print I can get my hands on. And I’ve read every last one of them. I grew up on Christopher Reeve Superman films and will still watch all 4 of them. I’ve watched the old Fleischer cartoons, Super Friends, the 90s animated series, and all Justice League shows. I own the entire Smallville series on DVD. I was one of the dozen or so people who subscribed to DC streaming service before Max. And I’ve watched every Superman movie and TV show that came out in the last 25 years.

I’ve never gone back and watched Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. There is no reason I’ve never watched it other than I just haven’t gotten around to it.

Every time I’ve opened an Office app this week it has given me some copilot welcome screen and opened it’s own sidebar. I tried to use it to proofread a word doc and got prompted to purchase a license. So they basically just filled 1/3 of my screen with an ad.

My city of only 20k people in Texas has a similar app. Not sure what’s going on in California

Texas allows underage people to drink if they are with their parent, guardian or spouse (if the spouse is 21). However, the establishment can still refuse to serve them. And in fact most places will refuse because the risks are just too high.

It is amazing how toxic people on that site are. Especially when you consider it’s not anonymous and the people are literally in your neighborhood

That would be amazing. Sadly I’ve looked into immigration for Australia and New Zealand and they both have restrictions based on autism. They aren’t guaranteed disqualifier, but it is a risk, that if I found a job that was willing to sponsor me, I might not be able to go.

I make over $150,000 a year and I live pay check to pay check because my son has autism level 2, speech delays, and other motor skills deficits. He has some sort of therapy every weekday. He’s 13, so we’ve been doing this for 11 years now. And every year it is a fight to get things paid for.

This year my company switched insurance providers and the speech therapist that he has gone to for 6 years was suddenly out of network. So, I either pull him out and start over somewhere new or do what I did and pay $200 out of pocket every week. Which does not go towards our $13,000 deductible. Next year we’re switching again so I’m sure there will be something they won’t cover.

I make too much money to get anything from the state, which seeing how I live in Texas, I’m not really sure I’d want their services. Come hell or high water we getting out of this state and if possible this country next year.
