On a similar note for parents: At some point, you did/will pick your child up and then put them down for the last time.

He said that, then put Trump first. What did he do for America besides racist rhetoric, a few miles of border wall that apparently doesn’t work, and fast tracked a COVID vaccine you won’t take?

Whatever/whoever posts these captions used to often use the word “lingers” to describe lingerie. Ex: “Women in lingers on a bed.”

One day, some guy responded to a post and said he couldn’t take it anymore and to stop saying it. It actually stopped. Hasn’t used that word since as far as I’ve seen.

It’s the new “lingers”

Autism, especially higher functioning, often comes with clinical-level anxiety. Definately talk to a psychiatrist and therapist. If you’re already on anxiety meds that aren’t working, try a different one. Keep in mind that the wrong one can cause suicidal thoughts. They vary quite a bit, and new ones are coming out all the time. You’ll eventually find one that helps take the edge off your anxiety. That will help you cope with the other things better. From my experience, things also get naturally better as you age, so there is light in the tunnel.

Edit: One other suggestion. Do the bad thoughts come at night? That’s also common. If so, try going to bed earlier - before they get a chance to get cranked up. Wake up earlier so you can have quiet time doing something peaceful like sipping coffee.

That cinematography though. Reminds me of the music videos you used to be able to make at Six-Flags.

I think they can work, but only when certain pieces are there. The protest must have:

• A clearly defined goal
• Existing support somewhere in the government, or a financial incentive for people in the government that oppose you.

For example, civil rights and women’s right to vote had some governmental support. The protests had well defined goals, and helped raise awareness and support for those people already in government to enact change.

On the other hand, the 1% protests a few years ago, and more recently, BLM, had ambiguous goals. Without clear goals, no existing government support could be identified. And there was no financial incentive for others to act. The protests raised awareness but ultimately had little real effect unfortunately.

I do wonder if things have changed though. I think public shaming helped enact some changes in the past, but no one has shame anymore.

Oooh, cool. Thanks. The way it’s used, I always thought it was the Star Wars equivalent of “bullshit”.

Doesn’t it come out of the banthas?

They have “Enterprise” features that don’t appear to be “open source”. It’s “Open Source”, but only the simple parts we didn’t think were big money makers?

Glad the roof is not monitors

I see what you did there. I’m wondering if others don’t get it, or just don’t like the joke.
