What do I have to do to get them to release an app version of the O.G Diner Dash and Wedding Dash? And I’m not talking about the super 3D looking app ones they have now, I’m talking OG 90s(?)/2000s
I know that the reason that young entrepreneurs and young artists are often celebrated is to show kids and young adults that they’re not too young to start following their dreams but I think it often has the unintended side effect of making you go “Man, I haven’t even started an international business yet. I’m a failure.” when you’re like twelve.
ADHD and autism has always existed throughout history but I think the difference now is the extreme stigma around the labels and the rush to figure out a cause. So many historical texts, newspapers and journals describe people who are potentially neurodivergent, had a learning disorder or intellectual disability. They’re like “My son is really helpful around the farm but he’s got a habit of repeating himself over and over again, he didn’t do good in school and he doesn’t seem interested in going to dances and meeting new people. He’s a good boy, just quiet.” or “My sister is a sweet girl but she is very sensitive and it takes a while for her to get used to changes. She’s house proud and very particular about where everything goes.“ and that is just how it was. Institutionalization was part of the reason you didn’t ‘see’ autistic and intellectually disabled people and another reason was that they just lived out their lives without anyone looking.
That’s such a sick baby picture to have. The rest of us are all like “oh this is me tripping in the backyard when I was 2” and that baby’s gonna have “yeah that’s me in my mom’s arms as she wins a mortal Kombat tournament”. Iconic.
Girl help they’re selectively breeding the world’s most powerful Mortal Kombat player.
guy who tried to impress me with card tricks and failed every single one of them
old man who attempted to get my number when his wife walked away and slipped me his email address ending with “@ aol.com” when i said i don’t do that
cute gay couple that came back to tell me i was cute and then called the shop to ask me out
older professor who i talked to about folklore and told me he dressed as a wizard for recitals saying “this is really embarrassing but umm.. i’d love to get to know you more..” and gave me a receipt with his email address on it
dude in his 40s asking me on a movie date and me saying yes but then he kept starting text conversations with “ahoi hoi”
military guy who said it’d be hot if i killed him with a baseball bat
most notable time a customer did not ask me out:
a man who i knew had a wife and children getting really flustered and saying “um. ive been, uh.. idk if you remember me but um. i come in here a lot and ive uhhh haha umm ive been wanting to ask you for a couple weeks now.. um. have you read the green lantern issue i recommended??????”
You sigh, looking into your blue orbs in the mirror before throwing your messy hair into a bun and heading downstairs in your skinny jeans and converse. Your mom sits at the table smoking a forbidden plastic cigarette. “I’ve sold you for more money” she says. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. “Ello love” says the dangerous crow boy.
I hate anti-vaxers now. Actively loathe them. There was a time where I had a modicum of empathy and understanding for people being distrustful of the medical establishment, even though every study has shown that vaccines are safe and effective and beneficial, I know some wounds are hard to heal. Now? If you’re seeing the people regurgitating anti-vaccine misinformation and witnessing their agendas, reading the news reports of diseases that were nearly eradicated coming back to kill children again, hearing the distress and fear from medical professionals and parents of immunocompromised children and still saying “Hmm. Fuck you.” and deciding not to vaccinate your children and yourself, there is no excuse for you. You’d like to see me dead. I’m not tiptoeing around you. You’re a horrible person and a terrible parent.
