Ahahahaha, they named their supermissile after the evil ninja from GI Joe?! What a bunch of dweebs.

Yes. Duck tape came first. The original iteration of the product was cotton duck cloth with an adhesive backing.

Man, Starship Troopers is so cool! I want to be a Citizen!

If it weren’t for my kids needing to be at certain places at certain times (e.g. school, haha, nerds!), my sleep schedule would be dictated entirely by which appointments I have this week.

That’s fake news, stop spreading false rumors. The next sequel has already been greenlit.

3 Gladiator 3 Furiosa will integrate The Gladiators into the Mad Max Cinematic Galaxy.

It’s gonna be like in Factorio when you launch a nuke out of a rocket launcher a few meters away, and everything will be fine if you run really fast as soon as you fire it.

Tell me you’ve never been to the gym without telling me you’ve never been to the gym.

I related news, I (and several other men) recently learned that the air dryers closer to the ground are not actually intended to be a “ball dryer”. They are installed for accessibility reasons.

I would also imagine Tate is aware of this. I could imagine him saying as much and just framing it as a good thing. “Admiring women is a homosexual act” or whatever.

He has said this, nearly verbatim. Repeatedly. Sex with women for pleasure is gay af now in the Tate-o-sphere. Procreation only!

Well, that explains the badass party and/or revolution in that new Lil Nas X video.

That’s the one. The joke is that the photo isn’t of a Confederate leader—it’s Friedrich Engels.

High level summary: A bunch of nerds got into a slapfight about who’s project is less secure, or who’s project is run by the feds. Some guys got doxxed or swatted, a few stepped away from their projects and left social media, and that’s about where we are today. It’s largely a bunch of clout-chasing nonsense.

Yeah, agreed. Definitely don’t do that. We don’t have to lie to make the Zionist project look evil—they proudly give us more free ammunition than we could ever use.

You stayed up to watch a piece of shit try to beat up an old man.

I stayed up because I have a sleeping disorder and I ended up playing Dandy’s World on Roblox with one of my kids’ friends, and we ended up watching a pirate stream and laughing our asses off at it.

We are not the same.

Bait post incoming

Hmmm! Wikipedia has left out the real genocides that are actually happening for mega serious, for real, trust me bro. Curious!

🚨🚨 paging @[email protected] 🚨🚨

I got permission to share one of my kids’ in-school assessments from when they were also 9 years old!

Within the classroom, ████████ is comfortable answering questions and contributing to discussions but may opt out of activities with which ███ is unfamiliar and ███ does not feel are necessary for academic growth such as partner games or activities. This tendency has also been noted in the gymnasium, where uncertainty about rules or procedures can cause ████████ to prefer to sit out.

At present, we are allowing ████████ to observe and learn activities as above in the classroom and the gym, to ease ███ apprehension and allow ███ to gather the information required to have ███ participate. In one instance in the classroom, ███ had initially opted out of an activity, but then saw how it worked, and the fun others were having and said “I think I want to try now” and joined in with a safe adult as a partner first, then a peer. Similarly, we had a gym occurrence that mirrored the classroom example and we seem to gain greater participation from ████████ through the following strategies:

• do not pressure ████████ into participating
• allow ███ to observe the activity
• watch to see if ███ shows any interest
• ask ███ if ███ would like to try (with you or another safe adult)
• this allows for guidance and practice of the skills in a safe environment if desired
• once ███ is comfortable and confident, see if ███ will attempt this new task with a supportive classmate or peer

STRENGTHS AND INTERESTS

• ████████ voluntarily participates in class when answering questions and contributing
• ███ has an expansive and diverse vocabulary compared to ███ peers
• ███ has a sense of humor and has shared things that ███ finds amusing based on the current conversation’s context
• ███ enjoys reading
• ███ is able to express ███self in terms of needs

LEARNING NEEDS

████████ has presented as exceptionally capable in all subject areas, and is predominantly working on social and emotional regulation strategies, such as:

• Social participation (as outlined above)
• Risk-taking in regard to new activities
• Self-regulation and calming strategies

ADDITIONAL NOTES

• ████████ has become dysregulated in the classroom on occasion, but was receptive of help from supportive peers; and seems to respond to the teacher and a calm request or question to ascertain what is bothering ███.
• ████████ has presented as a very capable student who completes individual activities quickly. At times ███ has decided that ███ is “good enough” at a particular skill and is “bored”; including during tests.
• ████████ is raising ███ hand to share in class discussions, but to date these are statements or fact corrections and not yet requests for clarification or assistance.
• ████████ is supported by the peers around ███, and ███ has friends in the class who are willing to help ███ if ███ becomes dysregulated.

Things really have come a long way over the last 40 years. Not quite as funny as yours, but I did like the subtle, “this fourth grader is fucking fact checking me in-class, what the fuck?” note. It’s not mentioned in the document, but we also had a few in-person conversations about how this kid will not shut the fuck up about axolotls.

We never addressed that last point. AXOLOTL GANG! They’re almost old enough to get a tattoo without my permission, and I suspect an Axolotl sleeve is in the works given what I’ve spied in their sketchbook recently.

I think the 1987 revision of the DSM was the first time autism was recognized as its own distinct thing—outside of just being a subset of schizophrenia. And even then it was mostly a differentiation between, “Do you have schizophrenia do weird things and cannot communicate them effectively, or are you Rain Man Super Genius Savant Boy?”

Note that I don’t include the word “girl” or “woman” in any of my descriptions of the time. Females are just moody, apparently!

Sis, you got no idea how messed up it was. How good you were at masking was the defining characteristic that determined if you were gonna be in the “gifted kids group” or the “r-worded kids class”.

Autism was barely even recognized as a legitimate diagnosis at the time, and it was largely limited to, “Haha, like Rain Man! Very funny!” levels of understanding. Which track you landed in was largely vibes-based, and I’m forever grateful I was adept enough at scripting my responses at the time to make me seem normal.

Also, us Big Smart Boys got a break every day to go read in the library, where I learned how to install a pirated version of SimCity on the cataloguing computer. That was neat.
