I exist, and that's someone else's problem.

Probably a real living person, but not big on sharing. Just another queer, autistic young adult . They/Them please.

[queer-as-city-folk]

Genuinely we should have killed Graham Platner with rocks after the Nazi tattoo scandal

[queer-as-city-folk]

In general I think that we now have to recognize that we should listen the first 70 odd warning signs someone might be a piece of shit even if he says things we like

[queer-as-city-folk]

He did 3 tours in Iraq and was a mercenary in Afghanistan, but like he says he's changed so who could have seen him being a bad person coming??

[theunusualchameleon]

They really acted like he was the only white working class guy in the entire state.

If there's absolutely no one else you could run from that demographic, I don't think it's one worth bending over backwards to appeal to.

[moonbugggy]

Choosing to believe this confirms my headcanon that bots talk using speakers instead of using their mouth parts to make sounds. Swerve somehow figured out how to make the sound like a human would and no one else knows how he's doing it

[teaboot]

Someone in my apartment complex is playing the bagpipes at bagpipes volume

[introvertia]

Unless you’ve ever been in a room with a bagpipes player you have no idea how fucking loud bagpipes volume is.

[teaboot]

I have in fact several times been in a room with a bagpipes player and can fully confirm that this is absolutely the volume at which bagpipes Are

[theunusualchameleon]

There's an old joke that goes something like this:

A young Scotsman had just moved to an apartment in London for the first time. After a few weeks, he calls his mother.

"My neighbors are horrible, mother! The lady below me is always hitting the ceiling with a broom handle, the ones to either side yell and throw things, and the ones who live above me always thump around and scream at me!"

The mom goes "Oh, how dreadful. Londoners are all the same. You shouldn't talk to people like that."

The Scotsman says "Of course not, mother. I just stay inside, practicing on my pipes."

[tahthetrickster]

just so we’re clear if you’ve never actually seen a cybertruck in person and have only seen photos of them i cannot stress enough how much worse they look in real life. like i honestly don’t know how it’s possible. most things look basically the same in pictures and in real life. but as stupid and ugly as cybertrucks look in photos, every person i’ve spoken to who has seen one in real life agrees that they somehow look even worse in person. and i know you’re thinking to yourself “tah they already look so bad in photos, how can they possibly look even worse in person?” I DONT KNOW. the first time i saw one on the road i was on a phone call and i literally cut myself off in the middle of a sentence just to be like “oh my GOD.” just an incredibly, laughably, unbelievably bad vehicle. i’ve never experienced anything like it. they’re just so bad

[theunusualchameleon]

The CIO at my community college drives a cybertruck. It's colored with a red-green gradient using the worst shade of both colors you could possibly imagine that somehow look worse together. On the back is a decal that says 'cybertruck' in a font that's probably supposed to look like blood but comes off a lot more like someone smeared it with jelly.

All this gives you a pretty good idea of the guy's personality, but every single professor in the technical building will gladly complain about him at length. He gutted the CAD lab to make an "AI research and learning center".

Really we should cut out the middleman and airbrush "I am a dingus" on the side of every cybertruck as it comes out of the factory.

on the 4th, donald trump is going to be giving a 2hr long speech outdoors during a heat wave. heat stroke can happen within less than 20 minutes if the conditions of the weather and the person’s health are bad enough. so what im saying is.. if he keels over from heat stroke, i wont be surprised.

Sun I’m begging you GET HIS ASS

[theunusualchameleon]

Hoping to break the world record for most fireworks used in a single show, Trump is planning to detonate ~850,000 fireworks over a span of 40 minutes. So much smoke is predicted that the National Park Service is classifying it as an air quality hazard and advising DC residents to wear masks and stay indoors.

If the heat doesn't kill him, the smoke might.

[inhumanliquid]

So apparently the speech itself is going to be late tonight after it's already mostly cooled down.

But the sun has no impact on smoke, so...

[theunusualchameleon]

Eh, I live kinda near DC and it was still almost 90F at midnight last night. Heat islands last longer in cities too, where there's lots of concrete.

Realistically they're probably going to put up an ice wall or something, but we can hope.

[prokopetz]

Order of monks figures out the curse on the Tome of Cursèd Knowledge has a range limit, so they've got the book propped open on a pedestal while a guy like a hundred feet away peers through a rudimentary telescope to transcribe it. The acolyte turning the pages is blindfolded so they don't accidentally read it from within range.

Not super attached to my gender until I enter one of my technical classes and then I'm like "hey isn't it super weird that I'm the only woman here?"

Put old man in warm sun. no problem ever in warm sun because good view and audience can see long speech. Nice podium outdoor sunny perfect place for old president can trust warm sun to give nice view to President good luck to President. friend sun.

[theunusualchameleon]

The fireworks afterwards are going to be so big it'll be a massive polluting event and people in DC are advised to wear N95 masks or stay indoors.

If we're lucky, the combination might kill him.

A vulture cloud to start off your Wednesday!

[theunusualchameleon]

Fun fact, this is how they locate leaks in very large pipelines! A chemical that smells strongly of rotting flesh is introduced to whatever the pipe is carrying (usually nat gas) and they watch the length of it to see where the buzzards circle.

Probably very confusing if you're a buzzard looking for some tasty dead things, but it gets the job done.

[what-even-is-thiss]

My middle school gave you detention if you didn’t turn in your homework on time did I ever tell y’all about that

[what-even-is-thiss]

I mean they called it “homework lab” but it was detention. I had to do it a few times. They kept everybody in the cafeteria and spread them far apart and patrolled the aisles to make sure they were working and not talking.

I mean it made no difference to me because I stayed after school in the library to do my homework anyways. The only problem was that they called your parents if it happened. So.

I would’ve gotten away with it too if it weren’t for that meddling answer machine.

[theunusualchameleon]

Freshman year I had a French teacher that was kinda insane. He gave long homeworks every day, handed out detentions like candy, and would give pop quizzes on the exact wording of questions he'd put on the board weeks ago.

(After the first such quiz, which the entire class did badly on, he made us collectively write letters to our parents explaining the bad grade. Each sentence was provided in both English and Spanish options and had to be copied word for word.)

Being fourteen and an overachiever (and already knowing a little French) I became one of his favorites, and I still got detention like seven times before we all had to quarantine in March. There was also what he called "the homework club" of people who didn't turn in their homework. They had detention every day until they got it in order.

In detention we didn't just sit around. No, we worked. We tidied the classroom, sorted paperwork, organized his desk, and graded quizzes (of which there were many).

Crazy Teacher didn't show up again after we all came back to class. I found out later that he'd been fired for appearing naked on camera during virtual classes. Most sources agreed it was some sort of accident, but I never got another detention again after leaving his class.

[kal8elle]

Superwoke 🤝 Super-bisexual

[theunusualchameleon]

My mom saw the fox guy say that men don't find bisexual women attractive (talking about Supergirl movie) and was just like "hm. My husband and my boyfriend disagree".

I wish Hollywood were even half as woke as conservatives seem to think it is. "Every protagonist is a black autistic lesbian now" that would be amazing actually

[infectiouspiss]

disabled ppl we need to start lying to nosy people okay? you tell me i'm too young to need a cane and i will tell you point blank that maybe you should tell that to the guy who ran me over. you don't get an explanation of my health issues you get lies and depending on how much of an asshole i want to be that lie will be anything from a humble car crash to a 1 billion lions attack. mind yr business.

[infectiouspiss]

"i could never live like that" well maybe you'll have to because this happened overnight. yeah you heard me i was the most able bodied man in the world but then one morning bam i woke up disabled. yeah you could have that too. there's no cure either you'll just wake up one morning and now you have to live like me

[infectiouspiss]

"what happened" well have you ever seen looney tunes? yeah an anvil landed on me and squished me flat.

[theunusualchameleon]

I try to say something snappy when people ask or comment about my cane, but often I'm just too floored by the audacity and rudeness.

When I was 17, a woman stopped her car while I was out for a walk to ask me why I was using a cane. I was just completely baffled that anyone would do something like that.

Around the same time in my life, my homeroom teacher was really persistent in asking when I was getting better and how long I'd be using the cane. I usually give non-answers to that sort of thing, like "my cane helps me get around" but after he kept pressing I gave in.

The phrase "degenerative and incurable" really takes the wind out of someone's sails. Who knew?

Anyone over the age of six or so should mind their damn business about other people's bodies, or at least be prepared for unpleasant answers to the questions they ask.

i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people

[rubysapphrald]

people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!
